NEW SMYRNA BEACH, Fla. (CBS12) \u2014 A search is underway for two missing boaters in New Smyrna Beach <\/a>on Tuesday, with multiple agencies working together to locate them.<\/p>\n

According to the New Smyrna Beach Police Department, the two people were last seen and heard from around 6 a.m. on June 8 after leaving from Lake Helen. Concern grew after their vehicle and boat trailer were found at the Swoop Boat Ramp later that day.<\/p>\n

The department’s Marine Unit is now actively searching alongside the U.S. Coast Guard<\/a>, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission<\/a>, and the Volusia Sheriff\u2019s Office<\/a>. Officials say the pair had planned to go fishing about 30 miles offshore, but it\u2019s not clear how far they actually made it.<\/p>\n

Authorities believe the boaters are on board a white, 25-foot Carolina Classic vessel. A photo of the boat has been shared in hopes that someone may have seen it.<\/p>\n
