What the National Weather Service wrote

Three adults and a child departed Sandspirit Park in Stuart around 0700LST in a 24-foot Sea Ray boat for a fishing trip near St. Lucie Inlet. Three of the boaters drowned and the fourth one was found alive on a Stuart Beach the following morning. The survivor stated the boat was swamped by rough seas shortly after leaving port for the fishing trip. The boat filled up with water and sank below the surface.

The wider storm

A 24-foot boat left Stuart with four boaters in the morning. They encountered high seas just offshore the coast generated by gusty onshore winds and the boat capsized. Three of the four boaters drowned and the fourth person made it to the beach and was rescued.

Began near Stuart (27.2135, -80.1238).
