Four people were aboard the fishing boat when it flipped in rough water about 7 p.m., the Florida Times-Union reported. The only person to make it to shore was reportedly the only one wearing a life jacket. Officials said he was taken to the hospital.

Glynn County Search and Rescue volunteers joined the U.S. Coast Guard helicopter crew and the Georgia Department of Natural Resources in the search effort.
