The 32-foot Kai Anela began taking on water around noon after the intake on one of its twin water jets sucked up a length of rope or some other debris, said company President Bob Chambers. Passengers were picked up by another tour, the Pineapple Express, and taken to the Kihei Boat Ramp.

No one was injured except for minor cuts and bruises, Chambers said. As a precaution, Coast Guard Station Maui's 47-foot rescue vessel transported a pregnant woman and a passenger experiencing shortness of breath to the boat ramp, where they were examined by paramedics, said Coast Guard Petty Officer Luke Clayton.
