Authorities received reports of a vessel that appeared to be in trouble near the shoreline off Tower 10 in Huntington Beach on Tuesday night.
The 12 passengers on board appeared to be suffering from possible sea sickness, but details of their exact medical conditions remain unclear, authorities said.
The Coast Guard was called in and transported the boat back to safety.
Seven people were treated for conditions and two people were transported to a local hospital in unknown conditions.
