After a massive search by air by sea, the family was found 44 nautical miles off the coast of Key West. The family arrived to the Key West Coast Guard base about 9 p.m. Wednesday night, and were greeted with hugs from their loved ones.

"It was sheer relief watching 11 and 15-year-old boys come off and hug their moms," U.S. Coast Guard Key West Commander Clint Prindle said. They and other family members came to Key West to take part in lobster mini-season on Tuesday. A concerned family member contacted watchstanders at Coast Guard Sector Key West at about 6:30 p.m. Tuesday to report them overdue after they failed to return. The Coast Guard said filing a float plan with their family helped lead to the happy ending.
