Two people were rescued Thursday afternoon after their boat began sinking off off Northport.
Suffolk Marine Bureau officers Erik Johnson and Timothy Dillon responded to a report that a boat was in distress approximately one mile north of Eatons Neck Lighthouse at 1:55 p.m. Upon arrival, officers found the 1997 Bayliner Trophy boat’s cabin and stern partially submerged in water.
Officers in conjunction with the Town of Huntington Harbor Master removed water from the vessel while Marine Bravo towed the boat to the Soundview boat ramp in Northport.
The operator of the boat, Maurice Arvon, 76, of Amityville, and passenger Stonie Hertzot, 71, of Deer Park, were not injured.
