The Sarasota County Sheriff’s Office found Todd Battaglino's unoccupied boat 15 miles offshore.
Battaglino was last in touch with his family around 3 p.m. Monday and hadn't been heard from since then, the sheriff’s office said.
The Coast Guard said it searched 98 hours and covered more than 3,800 square miles in its search.
