Four people have been rescued off a boat before it sank off the coast of Port MacDonnell today, according to SA Police.
The alarm was raised about 6.30am on Tuesday 16 May when the boat, the Port Princess, experienced mechanical issues and started taking on water about 11 nautical miles due south of Nene Valley.
A local crayfishing boat, the San Miguel, left Port MacDonnell to assist in the rescue and located the sinking vessel.
The three men and a woman on board were safely rescued and brought onto the crayfish boat. They were brought to shore at the Port MacDonnell boat ramp, where paramedics assessed them for minor injuries. The boat has sunk about six nautical miles off shore.
Police wish to thank everyone involved in the safe rescue of the crew.
