A FAMILY of four has gone missing after the tourist boat they were travelling on sank in rough seas due to massive 10ft waves.
The vessel was carrying 11 people when it sank in the Padar Island Strait near the popular destination of Labuan Bajo in Indonesia.
Seven people, including two Spanish tourists, four crew members and a tour guide, were rescued.
But a search for the remaining four was continuing on Saturday, with Padar Island closed to tourists due to extreme weather conditions.
Video released by the National Search and Rescue Agency showed emergency workers in blue uniforms helping people, some barefoot, out of an inflatable orange boat and onto shore.
Other footage showed people in lifejackets sitting on a rescue boat, and a similar vessel kicking up spray as it motored across the waves in the dark.
