NextImg:Coast Guard, local crews searching Great South Bay for missing Long Island boater James Maronczyk

Marine search crews were scouring the waters of Long Island’s Great South Bay for a 28-year-old man who fell overboard from his speedboat Sunday, the US Coast Guard said.

James Jaronczyk was at Tres Palms restaurant in Babylon before taking to the water in his 22-foot Progression speedboat around 4:30 p.m., and soon went missing, according to officials and news reports.

“Please all my friends and family keep your faith strong and your prayers stronger for my brother James to be found,” the missing man’s sister, Amanda Jaronczyk, wrote on Facebook Monday.

“If you have a boat or jet ski or located near any of your private beaches take a look and help us out,” she wrote. “This town is full of good people and we all count on each other when times are tough.”

Jaronczyk, of Massapequa, is a racer and was getting his boat ready for the first competition of the season, according to a report by News12.

Photos posted on his Instagram account show him racing his boat, “Nauti Boyz,” with one posted last year showing him and a pal holding a winning trophy from a race.

The Coast Guard received a call about a boater in the water shortly after 4:30 p.m. Sunday, and deployed search boats from their Fire Island station, spokesman Petty Officer Ryan Schultz said Monday.

Additional boats from Suffolk County were also dispatched, as were police and Coast Guard choppers from the federal agency’s Cape Cop, Massachusetts, station, Schultz said.
