The body of a five-year-old boy has been recovered from a capsized boat off the NSW coast near Wollongong.
Police say the boat with three men and a five-year-old boy on board capsized near Bulli Point about 6.20pm on Saturday.
"Officers from Wollongong Police District – with assistance from the Marine Area Command, PolAir, the Toll Ambulance helicopter, Marine Rescue and Surf Life Saving NSW – commenced a search," police said in a statement.
Two men, aged 23 and 31, were pulled from the water about 8pm by a rescue helicopter crew.
They were taken to Wollongong Hospital in a stable condition.
The search involving police and surf lifesavers was suspended at midnight and resumed on Sunday morning.
The capsized boat was towed into Port Kembla harbour, where Police Divers located the body of the five-year-old boy.
"The search continues to locate the missing man," police said in a statement.
