Summary
Tracker data shows the Volare left West Harbor around 10 a.m., went under the Golden Gate into the ocean, stopped at Angel Island for three hours, then overturned just west of Alcatraz.
The Coast Guard said the 49-foot yacht took a wave, listed heavily, lost stability and quickly rolled over, while confirming there was no evidence of any fire.
Twenty people and a dog were aboard the memorial cruise; the vessel is registered in Stockton and owned by political consultant John Boisa.
The yacht is now resting about 120 feet down in San Francisco Bay, and officials plan to try to raise it once located because one of the three missing could still be aboard.
