A 34 year old male has been charged with a permitting someone to operate a non-human-powered pleasure craft without personal floatation device of appropriate size for each person.

Police say the charges were laid after they received reports of a capsized boat in Callander Bay.

Police say there were three males on board and their vessel was heavily loaded with construction material, as they were on route to an island camp.

Police say the boat started to take water and it capsized.

All three males made it to shore even though there were only two lifejackets on board.
