Family rescued after engine on huge motorboat overheats leaving them adrift on Lough Derg

A family of four was rescued from the water in Lough Derg by the RNLI yesterday after they were left drifting on a huge motor boat after the engine overheated and cut out in heavy weather.

On Thursday afternoon, Valentia Coast Guard requested Lough Derg RNLI lifeboat to launch to assist the four people who were stuck on the 43ft cruiser with engine failure.

Luckily, all four people were found safe and unharmed on board wearing their lifejackets and were successfully brought back to shore.
