Dramatic video captures tourist boat engulfed in flames as passengers scramble to escape burning vessel

As the group was approximately a quarter mile off the coast of Miami Beach, they reportedly noticed a burning smell coming from the vessel.

"Smelled some smoke and, you know, slowed down, figured out it's our boat," Fink said. 

Video captured by witnesses shows the five-engine vessel engulfed in flames, with thick plumes of black smoke rising into the air. 

Fink and the group of travelers reportedly began using a fire extinguisher to try to keep the fire from spreading, but ultimately determined they needed to escape the burning vessel and began trying to signal to nearby boaters. 

"We waved down a boat actually, shot the fire extinguisher a bit up into the air so they could see the smoke from the fire extinguisher and it kind of caught their attention and they pulled over to us and they were amazing," passenger Jason James told WSVN. 

"We had our heroes here that saved us all, threw us on the other boat," passenger Irelynn James reportedly said. 

"Luckily no one fell in, nobody - we didn't have to jump in, so it's all good," Fink told the outlet. 

"I figured it wasn't my time to go yet," James said. "It was their trip and I decided to tag along so I could do something for my birthday in two more days; I'm just trying to get to 20."

Authorities have not specified the cause of the fire and no injuries were reported, Miami-Dade Fire Rescue confirmed to Fox News Digital.
