The St Mary's RNLI team found the two people on the boat had abandoned the vessel and were safe on their tender.
The boat was refloated later on the high tide at about 16:00 BST.

The boat was assisted under its own power to Tresco by a local boat owner, where it was reunited with its two crew members.
The lifeboat helped set the anchors for the vessel to be refloated.
