MIAMI – Authorities found two boaters after searching for about five hours on Monday off Miami-Dade County’s Fisher Island and Virginia Key areas.

The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission started to search for a man and a woman about 10 a.m. The two were last seen aboard a gray dinghy with a white hull headed toward Bear Cut near Key Biscayne.

Shannon Knowles, a spokeswoman for FWC, said the man and the woman were on the tender boat to a sailboat. Officials found them about 3 p.m., Knowles said.

The U.S. Coast Guard was also involved in the search.
