PINELLAS COUNTY, Fla — The U.S. Coast Guard Sector St. Pete found two missing boaters who were last seen leaving Charlotte Harbor on Tuesday.
Andreas Gabriel Kirchberger and Kenneth Thomas Reutzel were last seen heading for Tarpon Springs to avoid Hurricane Milton.
The boat they are traveling on, the Helderberg/Queen Milania, was found by Air Station Miami crew around 50 miles off Gasparilla Pass operating under its own power.

According to USGC, the vessel appeared to be headed back home around 12:30 a.m. on Friday.
“We need to listen to the voice of the people, right?”
Last summer, the Florida Department of Environment Protection considered adding amenities like golf courses, pickleball courts, and hotels to state parks across the state. After public outcry, the plans were shelved, but the fight isn't over for some Florida residents.
