The National Sea Rescue Institute (NSRI) in Port Elizabeth says on Saturday morning they received a call from a man who said his boat had capsized.
“He phoned saying he had his 16-year-old son and a 15-year-old male family friend on board. They were all clinging to the upturn hull of the 5 metre boat,” says NSRI spokesperson Craig Lambinon.
Lambinon says when the NSRI arrived on the scene, Pieter Barnard and the two teenagers were rescued out of the water and placed on the rescue craft.
“Paramedics treated all three for hypothermia but they required no further assistance. Their boat was recovered and brought back to the harbour and Pieter says he is investigating the cause of the capsizing,” he adds.
