Officials are searching for three American sailors who disappeared off the coast of Mexico earlier this month.

The sailors, Kerry O'Brien, Frank O'Brien, and William Gross were aboard a vessel named "Ocean Bound" — a 44-foot sailboat, according to a statement from the US Coast Guard. The three Americans had departed from Mazatlan in Mexico, intending to sail to San Diego, California.

The US Coast Guard said the group was expected to stop in Cabo San Lucas on April 6, but there is "no record" of their arrival.

"Search and rescue coordinators have contacted marinas throughout Baja, Mexico, with negative sightings of the vessel," the statement said. "Urgent marine information broadcasts have been issued over VHF radio requesting all mariners to keep a lookout for the missing persons and vessel."

The US Coast Guard asked the public to call 510-437-3701 with any information related to the missing sailors.

According to the statement, the US Coast Guard and the Mexican Navy are working together to track down the trio.

Their disappearance comes a month after gunmen kidnapped four Americans who had crossed the Texas border into Matamoros, Mexico.

Family members said they had traveled to the area for a cosmetic procedure. Gunmen killed two of them but released the others. The survivors opened up about their experience in an interview with CNN last week, saying that their captors put guns to their heads during the ordeal.
