Victoria Police’s Air Wing assisted in the rescue of three men in the waters off Port Welshpool early this morning.

Emergency services called to the waters about 7km South of Port Welshpool following reports that three men were clinging to the hull of their capsized boat.

It’s believed the men had been clinging to the 4.5meter boat for a number of hours before locating a phone and contacting triple zero.

Police Air Wing was dispatched to search for the boat and located the trio to the west of Snake Island just after 1am.

The men were then rescued by Port Welshpool Coast Guard before being taken to hospital.

Water Police will attend later today and retrieve the upturned vessel and investigate the circumstances surrounding the incident.
