A missing boater was rescued Saturday after an all-out search by multiple agencies finally located him 12 miles off the coast of St. Augustine, Florida, the U.S. Coast Guard said.

Charles Gregory, 25, was last seen Thursday night leaving the Lighthouse Boat Ramp in St. Augustine on a 12-foot jon boat — a small, lightweight, and flat-bottomed fishing boat, according to the U.S. Coast Guard Southeast. The Coast Guard started the search for him late Friday after his family reported him missing.

Gregory was spotted Saturday morning, sitting in his partially submerged boat, by an HC-130 Hercules airplane aircrew, the Coast Guard said in a news release.
