A missing sailboat named "Dobbin" has been found safe and sound off the coast of Lofoten, Norway.

The boat, which set sail from Shetland on July 26 with two people on board, had been uncontactable for several days, prompting a search by the Joint Rescue Coordination Centre (HRS).

The search involved a P-8 maritime patrol aircraft from the Air Force, which scoured the area for signs of the vessel.

Authorities confirmed that the boat was located 50 nautical miles west of Lofoten, delayed due to light winds.

The police in Nordland reported that both individuals aboard are well, and the HRS expressed gratitude to all who assisted in the search efforts.
