The U.S. Coast Guard rescued 33 suspected Cuban migrants after an overloaded boat was found off Boca Raton Wednesday morning.
The incident was reported about seven miles east of the Boca Inlet. Footage showed several people in life vests on Coast Guard boats.
Coast Guard officials said the 33 people were on a "grossly overloaded" vessel and were spotted by a C-130 aircrew that was searching for two missing Cuban migrants from the rescue from earlier this week.
The suspected migrants had jumped in the water from the boat and were taken aboard a Coast Guard vessel for basic medical attention.
Because the migrants did not make it to shore, they will be repatriated back to Cuba.
