The sailors were aboard the catamaran Serenity, which began taking on water and issued a distress call to the U.S. Coast Guard. Disney Treasure, being the closest vessel, responded immediately and altered its course to assist. The crew swiftly launched a rescue boat and successfully brought the four sailors onboard from their sinking vessel.
