BERKELEY COUNTY, S.C.–Two boaters who went missing for several hours were safely located by first responders early Sunday morning.

Around 3:30 a.m., the Berkeley County Rescue Squad, the Berkeley County Sheriff’s Office and Pimlico Fire Department were dispatched to the Cypress Gardens boat landing to search for the missing men.

Loved ones of the two boaters reportedly became concerned after they failed to return home Saturday evening.

Less than an hour into the search, the Berkeley County Rescue Squad located the missing men near Pimlico.

The men stated they were unfamiliar with the area, got lost, became low on gas and their phones stopped working and couldn’t call for help.

After locating the two men, the Berkeley County Rescue Squad made sure they got back safely to the boat landing.
