The vessel was last seen near Sitka on Sunday afternoon.
According to the Coast Guard, Sector Juneau watchstanders received a phone call Sunday night from Kingfisher Charters who reported a charter vessel was overdue. There were five people onboard.
The Coast Guard says the vessel was found partially submerged near Low Island, approximately one mile east of Shoals Point on Kruzof Island. The Coast Guard recovered the body of one person when they arrived on the scene. The search continues for the others.“There are currently so many unknowns, we are thankful for the coordination efforts from several municipal agencies including the Sitka Fire Department and Good Samaritan vessels on scene,” said Lt. Trevor Layman, Command Duty Officer.
