Yacht Washes Aground At Venice Beach

VENICE, CA — A 30-foot yacht washed aground at Venice Beach this week, according to the Los Angeles County Fire Department Lifeguard Division. Both people on board got off the boat without injuries.

Lifeguards got the call about the vessel at 11:39 p.m. Tuesday, lifeguard officials said. A large south swell contributed to the vessel going ashore.

Baywatch rescue boats and land-based lifeguards Wednesday rigged up and towed the vessel offshore.

"Dewatering and Overhaul operations were conducted by Baywatch crews due to prop damage," lifeguard officials said.

The vessel was successfully salvaged and towed to Marina del Rey for an emergency haul out.
