Two people aboard a 25-foot motorboat that capsized were fished out of the water near the mouth of the harbor at Marina del Rey tonight.

The two people were treated for hypothermia by county lifeguards and deputies, said Deputy Arthur Claybion of the sheriff's Marina del Rey Station.

They were OK and didn't need to be taken to hospitals, Claybion said.

The motorboat capsized about 7:45 p.m., Claybion said.
