STUART, Fla. — Three boats were completely unrecognizable from a fire though there were no injuries reported Saturday morning at Safe Harbor Marina, Stuart fire officials said.

The boats were visible with significant damage, and people told a WPTV news crew they had to evacuate in the early morning.

Aidan Smith and his father were at the marina at the time of the fire. He said they were sleeping on their boat, and firefighters woke them up and asked them to get out because the fire was just about 50 yards from where they were.

The boats are a total loss.
 
The cause of the fire is still under investigation.
