The crew were in waters off Campbeltown Loch, near the Kintyre peninsula, when they issued a mayday call for immediate assistance early yesterday morning.
The Campbeltown RNLI lifeboat was launched and the Campbeltown Coastguard Rescue Team was sent to the scene. A Royal Navy rescue helicopter from Prestwick was also scrambled.
