Three men have been rescued after their boat sank near Geelong in Victoria.

The trio from Northcote had spent the day fishing off Barwon Heads before they capsized around 7pm last night.

Victoria Police said only one of them was wearing a life jacket at the time.

The skipper managed to get in contact with a family member for assistance who then call emergency services.

The police air wing spotted the overturned boat at about 8pm and guided Life Saving Victoria volunteers to their location.

The group was pulled to safety about 40 minutes later and taken to hospital for observation.

Water police will investigate the circumstances surrounding the incident.
