A 39-year-old British woman has been found **alive after floating for four days** in the Mediterranean Sea, following her disappearance off the coast of **Formentera, Spain**.
She had rented a **15-foot motorboat** from the port of La Savina on Tuesday morning but **failed to return** it by Wednesday evening. Worried friends alerted authorities, triggering a **major search operation** involving Spanish coast guard boats, helicopters, and police divers.
On **June 22**, around 5 p.m., a passing boat spotted her **drifting between Ibiza and Valencia**. She was rescued and taken to a **hospital in Valencia**. Her current condition has not yet been confirmed.
The woman, identified locally as **Mary Gavin**, had rented a **Quicksilver 475 Axess** with a Mercury outboard engine. The boat has since been recovered by the coast guard and taken to Ibiza.
A Civil Guard spokesperson confirmed:
> “The British woman who vanished after hiring a boat in Formentera on Tuesday morning has been found alive.”
No official statement has been made about how she survived or what went wrong during her trip.
