Six boaters were saved as a classic seventeen meter Chris-Craft yacht was purposely ran aground after it was taking water, and in risk of sinking near Hereford Inlet, North Wildwood, New Jersey on the afternoon of Saturday sixteen April 2022.

When the Wildwood Fire Department arrived, Chief 3 took over command and drove the yacht to the shore as Utility 3 and Squad 3, and SeaTow Cape May arrived to the scene. The fire department then with the use from ladders discharged the skipper and the five boaters. Following this an operation was made to dewater the yacht, and then then towed to Schooner Island marina.
