Four people have been rescued by a helicopter after their boat capsized off Inskip Point.
The Sunshine Coast-based LifeFlight helicopter was tasked by Retrieval Services Queensland and Queensland Water Police at 7.16am yesterday to reports of a seven-metre vessel that had been hit by a wave.
The rescue crew located four people sitting on top of the overturned boat about 5km offshore.
A LifeFlight rescue crewman was winched down to the stranded boaties before they were winched into the aircraft.
A teenage female suffered a minor shoulder injury and a woman in her 20s suffered an ankle injury, while two men aged in their 20s and 60s escaped injury.
All were airlifted to the Sunshine Coast University Hospital for further treatment.
