The U.S. Coast Guard has located a pair of boaters who went missing off the Collier County Coast Saturday Night.

Collier County Deputies say the Coast Guard spotted the father and son, Juan Martinez Sr. and Juan Martinez Jr., Sunday Morning aboard their boat, which was anchored about 25 miles west of Marco Island.

Deputies say the pair had departed from the boat ramp at Bayview Park on Danford Street around noon Saturday. And they were expected to return around 8 p.m.

The boaters were sailing in a 22-foot, white and gold Bayliner, which the Coast Guard eventually spotted by air.
