Coast Guard search-and-rescue crews are searching for two missing 14-year-old boys in the vicinity of Jupiter.

Austin Stephanos (left) and Perry Cohen (right), both 14, were reported missing after not returning from a fishing trip on Friday off the coast of Jupiter, Florida.

They were last seen at approximately 1:30 p.m after purchasing $110 worth of fuel.

Officials received a report that the boys had disappeared at about 5 p.m. after they didn’t return to shore at the expected time. The Coast Guard had covered about 5,300-square nautical miles by Saturday morning.

The Palm Bay Sheriff’s Office is also providing assistance.

The boys did not pack much food or water, and were due back Friday afternoon after fishing near the Jupiter Inlet, Coast Guard Petty Officer Mark Barney said.

Anyone with information on the boys’ whereabouts is asked to contact authorities.

Joe has always been a friend to the community - much like Burt Reynolds and Perry Como before them. The best neighbors today are Rickie Fowler and especially Ernie Els. They both are both fantastic people and give anything they can to the community. Notice I don’t mention the guy on Jupiter Island...

For clarity - it was $110 worth of fuel, not 110 gallons.

Lots of chatter that they’ve been found off Jax. We’ll see.

Poor kids. Their families must be distraught.

Oh my gosh - what a time that was!

Reagan at 1600 Penn
Thatcher at 10 Downing
JPII in the Vatican
Dollar sky high
America respected
New Order on the radio
MTV actually played music videos
Cute women on subways with business dresses and tennis shoes and Walkmans

“#” was called a number sign, dammit

Dang - didn’t know how good we had it back then

If they’re lost off of THAT Jupiter, they have a real problem.

I hope they’re in Bimini and just due for a good scolding about going missing and not calling home.

Come to think of it, that trip sounds like it could be a lot of fun, absent anything going disastrously wrong.

The Gulf Stream took them practically to Georgia that quickly?

If there found, I hope they’re grounded for at least a month.

(Which makes me think, does anyone actually get ‘grounded’ anymore?)

I went diving in the Gulf Stream one time, on a ship wreck in 120 foot deep water. The current was so swift you could see a large ripple on the surface from the stream going over the ship. It can be quite fast.

That’s a long way off course.

So did I!!!!!

I was pretty sure they’d end up on Europa of all places. There’s no good reason for them to be on Io for ANY reason!

No confirmations yet. Seems pretty possible that there could have been a false sighting. We’ll see.

They’ve been at sea for two days, right? If the boat was disabled, is it plausible that they could have drifted that far, given the current and wind action in the area?
