A rescue craft from the National Sea Rescue Institute in Port Elizabeth rushed to the aid of six men who encountered trouble on a rubber duck near Bird Island in the early hours of Tuesday morning.
NSRI spokesperson Craic Lambinon says they received a call at about half past three that the engine on the men's boat had failed and dispatched a crew to the scene.
They took the men on board and with their rubber duck in tow, returned safely to the harbour.
Lambinon says it is not clear what the men were doing on a rubber duck off the island during the early hours of the morning.
