The Coast Guard responded to a location about 20 nautical miles east of Jacksonville Beach after a vessel with four people aboard activated an emergency beacon.
The boat involved was a 22-foot fishing vessel that became disabled in the water. The Coast Guard said it found the boat and dropped a radio to confirm everyone on board was fine.
The boat will be towed back to land.
