Hawaii News Now reports that none of the seven was injured in Tuesday’s blaze. All were transported to Honolulu Harbor.
The Coast Guard responded to the burning vessel with a C-130 airplane, a helicopter and a boat.
Thick, black smoke could still be seen pouring from the 46-foot-long boat an hour after the initial call for help came in at about 4:30 p.m.
