They are understood to have made a Mayday call to alert local ships after being stranded in the sea for days.

A Panamanian-flagged ship along with a Spanish Civil Guard vessel is said to have responded by heading to the area they were in.

The four people onboard were then rushed to Tenerife South Airport onboard a chopper before being taken to a hospital.

It is not clear as to why they went into the sea before getting lost.

Coastguards and investigative authorities are yet to comment.
