Two men were rescued from the waters off the Marina Del Rey coast Wednesday night after their boat capsized.

The boat was outside the marina breakwater and somehow got tangled in a lobster net line after 7 p.m. and was taking on water, according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department.

“When the deputies arrived, they saw the vessel ... capsize and saw two men jump into the water,” the Sheriff’s Department said.
