Coast Guard Calls Off Search for 3 Missing Boaters | Oakland News

Three boaters remain missing after the 20-person vessel Volare sank near Alcatraz in San Francisco Bay, despite a 24-hour Coast Guard search covering 950 square nautical miles. Sixteen were rescued, one confirmed dead. Authorities suspect the missing may be trapped below deck, but the wreck lies 130 feet underwater, complicating recovery. Initial fire reports were ruled out — rough seas and a massive wave caused the rapid capsizing. The Coast Guard has suspended active search efforts, handing over recovery to San Francisco Police. The tragedy underscores the critical need for life jackets and safety gear on the water as the community mourns the loss.
