A ferry helped rescue four people from a sinking boat Saturday off the New Jersey coast, U.S. Coast Guard officials said.
A mayday call went out just before 4 p.m. from a 21-foot pleasure boat that was taking on water near Sandy Hook Bay.
The Coast Guard launched boats from its Sandy Hook and New York stations.
The Coast Guard says a Seastreak ferry arrived first, and crew members helped the four people onto the ferry.
Coast Guard crew members arrived a few minutes later and transferred the four people to their rescue boat before the distressed vessel capsized.
All four people were wearing life jackets, and no injuries were reported.
