SANDY HOOK — The Coast Guard says a good Samaritan rescued eight people from a boat that capsized off the Jersey Shore coast Saturday.

The vessel capsized around 10:30 a.m. in the area of the Romer Shoal Lighthouse in Sandy Hook Bay. Another boater came upon the scene and got the eight passengers onto the boat.

No injuries were reported. But officials say it’s not clear what caused the boat to capsize

Officials say a New York Fire Department vessel helped bring some of the rescued passenger back to shore.

Hmmm - I guess the boat was on anchor and when the rope got caught in the prop, it tightened up to the anchor on the bottom and it brought the boat down enough to swamp it??

A lot of us know Romer Shoal...that is all, if you need more info... Don't anchor there till you know it

Accidents happen anytime though, just need to be ready
