The U.S. Coast Guard is searching for a man who went overboard a cruise ship near the Florida Keys.

The Coast Guard says in a statement that the 26-year-old man was reported overboard Friday morning from the Carnival Victory cruise ship.

The ship was about 35 miles away from Islamorada in the Florida Keys.
