The U.S. Coast Guard and police from Oak Island, North Carolina, are searching for a boater who went missing on Saturday, officials say.

Jeffrey Kale, 47, went fishing in his 32-foot boat Saturday and has not been seen since, according to police. 

"The United States Coast Guard is still actively searching fishing grounds and specific areas in the Atlantic Ocean based on previous trips and information from the family," Oak Island Police said late Sunday.

The Coast Guard is using boats and aircraft to search a grid off the southeastern tip of North Carolina for Kale. 

Kale's boat is a 32-foot Cape Horn with hull number NC4431FA, officials said.

Police ask anyone who has seen Kale or his boat to call 911.
