Miami (CNN) -- A fire engulfed a yacht a mile off Miami Beach on Saturday, sending a thick column of black smoke into the clear blue sky before rescue crews were able to put it out, the Coast Guard said.

Three people were aboard the 80-foot yacht Bliss when it caught fire around 10 a.m., the Coast Guard said. They all jumped into the water and were rescued with no reported injuries.

I always find it ironic when a boat catches on fire.

My friend thought he could deep fry a turkey inside. We got out. I have insurance. It's all good.

Next time we'll try it on the helipad.

you are lucky there isn't a carrot and two lumps of coal in a puddle of water on the deck!
