An American woman is missing after falling overboard during a boat trip with her husband off the Bahamas on Saturday evening, according to local police.

The incident occurred during an evening dinghy trip when the woman reportedly fell into the water and was swept out to sea. Police confirmed that the woman's husband reported the incident to authorities.

According to the husband's account, he lost sight of his wife during rough surf conditions after she fell overboard. He then paddled the small boat back to shore to report the incident.

Bahamian authorities have not released additional details about the woman's identity or the specific location where the incident occurred. The circumstances surrounding how the woman fell overboard remain under investigation.

Search and rescue operations for the missing woman are ongoing. The rough sea conditions at the time of the incident have complicated recovery efforts in the area.
