Two men were hospitalized and a woman was missing after the large yacht they were on went up in flames in the Florida Keys early Wednesday.
The fire broke out shortly after midnight at the Peary Hotel & Marina on Stock Island.
Monroe County Sheriff's Office officials said the 51-year-old woman was aboard the 70-foot Viking yacht with the men, ages 58 and 21, when the fire broke out.
The two men were airlifted to Jackson Memorial Hospital's Ryder Trauma Center in Miami, where their conditions were unknown.
