Coast Guard Identifies Paddleboarder Who Went Missing Off Jupiter Beach

Coast Guard and partner crews are using surface vessels and aircraft as they search for the 48-year-old who did not return.

  • On Monday, 48-year-old Matt Pawlowski went missing while paddleboarding about four miles off Jupiter Beach, prompting a multi-agency search operation.
  • A good Samaritan located the 14-foot lime green and yellow paddleboard approximately 10 miles offshore Jupiter Island, aiding search teams in tracking drift patterns.
  • The Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office, Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, and local police are assisting the Coast Guard, while Pawlowski is Vice President at NextEra Energy.
  • Officials are shifting the search area north due to Florida Straits currents, as Coast Guard crews continue air and surface operations through the night.
  • This marks the second search for a paddleboarder near Jupiter in the past month; in August, local teacher Kevin Burns died after encountering strong currents while snorkeling.
