The boat of two missing 14-year-old boys was found off the Florida coast by the Coast Guard Sunday morning. The boat was found 67 miles off the Ponde de Leon Inlet in Volusia County, according to the Associated Press.
Perry Cohen and Austin Stephanos, the two missing teens, were last seen Friday afternoon at 1:30 p.m. buying fuel, according to ABC News. The boat had capsized by the time the Coast Guard found it, according to officials.
In recent press conferences, family members expressed their disbelieve. They said that these boys were, "conscientious," about keeping in touch. Both teens have their boaters certification, and both have been around boats their whole lives, according to ABC News.
The families of these two boys are offering a $100,000 reward for their rescue, urging those experienced in the area to aid in the search, according to CNN.
"They know the waters. They've been through rough water, they've been through thin water," said Nick Korniloff, Perry's stepfather to reporters on Sunday, according to CNN.
Joe Namath, a football Hall of Famer and neighbor of the families', also spoke at a press conference about the missing teens. "I know they know what they're doing. Austin's been sharp and on the water a good while. Perry is just as sharp as can be," he said, according to ABC News.
The search is far from over, officials continuing to look into factors including weather, sea conditions, and currents said Tequesta Police Chief Christopher Elg at an earlier press conference, according to ABC News. The Coast Guard has searched over 25,000 nautical miles so far.
