Pontoon Boat Sinks Near Alcatraz | Spokane News

A pontoon boat carrying 19 people capsized in San Francisco Bay near Alcatraz, leaving one dead, two missing, and 16 rescued. The vessel, which departed from the St. Francis Yacht Club, sank in 120 feet of water—leaking fuel and spilling belongings—despite no fire being found. Survivors, some without life jackets, were treated for water-related injuries. Coast Guard and fire crews launched a massive, multi-vessel, helicopter-supported search amid tough bay conditions. Police marine units were first on scene, performing CPR on the deceased. The mayor honored the victim’s family and praised responders as the search for the two missing continues into the night.
