A man and woman out of South Florida somehow survived treading water in the open ocean for nearly 14 hours without life jackets.

Their boat capsized, and the couple was dumped into the ocean.

The U.S. Coast Guard said the pair had fallen off their 30-foot boat in Key Largo around 6 p.m. Friday. Officials said the two did not have any life vests or means of communicating with nearby boaters.



An off-duty detective and firefighter spotted the couple and brought them to safety with help from the Coast Guard.



They weren't reportedly hurt.



Rescuers say if you're out on a boat, to take personal emergency equipment with you just in case something goes wrong on the water.
