The Coast Guard has launched a full search for a man and his three teenage children.

They have disappeared from a sailboat off the coast.

The Coast Guard says the man, his two sons ages 13 and 15, and his 17-year-old daughter left Sarasota on Sunday morning on their 29-foot sailboat.

They apparently headed to Fort Myers to fix it.

Sunday afternoon, the man called his brother to report they had found six-foot seas off the coast near Englewood.

A family member reported them missing yesterday.

WTVT-TV reports the Coast Guard has not released the names of the missing.
