Two separate recreational boats were salvaged from Barnegat Inlet Saturday after they collided with the submerged jetty on the north side of the inlet, according to the U.S. Coast Guard.
A 26-foot recreational boat, with four people on board, hit the jetty around 3 p.m. on Aug. 8, Chief Warrant Officer Adam Murray, commanding officer of Coast Guard Station Barnegat Light, said Sunday evening.

About 30 minutes later, a second boat, a 40-feet vessel, struck the jetty, he said.
