TWO men have been forced to flee a burning boat after it caught alight off the Gold Coast.
Around 6.10pm (AEST) on Monday, police say they received a report of the fire onboard a 52-foot vessel, around four nautical miles off Mermaid Beach.
Two men on board escaped the boat in a dinghy before activating an emergency beacon and flares.
The vessel was fully engulfed by fire when water police arrived.
Officers helped the two men back to shore, where a 63-year-old man was taken to Gold Coast Hospital with smoke inhalation.
Authorities tried to recover the boat, but it later sunk at sea.
