Police Air Wing and Water Police have assisted in the rescue of two people off Wilsons Promontory early this morning.
It's understood the man and woman were onboard a boat that got into difficulty around 10pm last night just off Skull Rock.
The two abandoned the vessel and got into a dinghy that was attached to their boat and deployed an emergency beacon (EPIRB).
Around midnight Air Wing located the dinghy and the joint rescue coordination centre (JRCC) contacted a nearby cruise ship that was in the area.
A rescue craft was deployed from the cruise ship in Bass Strait and the pair were taken aboard.
No one was injured during the incident.
