Egyptian naval forces have rescued three more people and recovered four bodies, a day after a tourist yacht carrying 44 passengers sank in the Red Sea coastal town of Marsa Alam after facing rough weather.

The governor of the Red Sea region, Amr Hanafy, said rescuers saved 28 people from the vessel south of the coastal town of Marsa Alam, and some were airlifted to receive medical treatment.

Egyptian media reported that those aboard the yacht, which sank following warnings of rough seas, included two Americans.

The two missing Brits were on the Sea Story yacht when it left the eastern town of Marsa Alam on Sunday for a five-day diving trip. However, it sank after a "high sea wave" hit the vessel

Three bodies have been recovered from the capsized tourist boat in the Red Sea, Reuters news agency reports, quoting the Red Sea governor Amr Hanafi. As a reminder, 28 people were rescued after the boat sank, with 16 missing.

Rescue teams are still searching for missing people after the 'Sea Story' yacht capsized on Monday, Nov. 25, with 44 passengers onboard

More than a dozen people are missing after a tourist yacht capsized in the Red Sea, authorities said. Egyptian officials said 31 passengers and 14 crew members were onboard the Sea Story on Monday, Nov. 25, when the boat sank near the coastal town of Marsa Alam, Egypt, according to the Associated Press and BBC News.

Back in August, weather was also partly to blame for the sinking of another luxury ship, the 184-foot-long Bayesian superyacht that capsized after getting caught in violent storms off the coast of Sicily. A total of seven people were killed in that incident, including British tech entrepreneur Mike Lynch.
