Boat Sinks Near Alcatraz, Search Ongoing | San Francisco News

A tragic boat capsizing off Alcatraz Island has left three missing, one dead, and sixteen rescued — all aboard the Volare, a vessel carrying friends and family for a memorial service. Search teams are scouring over 950 square nautical miles, using thermal imaging and tide models, as cold bay waters may have trapped victims inside the three-deck boat. Officials haven’t ruled out survival, and if the wreck lies under 120 feet, divers or drones may be deployed. The dog on board also perished, and witnesses say rough seas — with 5-foot swells — contributed to the disaster, despite no small craft advisory being issued.
