A 20-month-old boy who lost consciousness aboard a tour boat near Molokini Crater on Monday was medically evacuated by the U.S. Coast Guard.

A 45-foot Response Boat-Medium crew from Station Maui transferred the boy and his parents from the Pride of Maui onto the RB-M and to Maalaea at 11:15 a.m. where they were met by emergency medical services.

Watchstanders at Coast Guard Station Maui received notification from a crewmember aboard the tour boat at 10:44 a.m. about an unresponsive passenger. The watchstanders then launched the RB-M crew with an EMT aboard and arrived on scene at 10:55 a.m.

The boy was taken to Maui Memorial Medical Center where he was treated and later released in stable condition.
