The boat was removed from the water with great care before it was searched, sheriff's spokesman Adam Linhardt said.
Identification and autopsy results were pending, but foul play was not believed to be a factor, Linhardt said.
Vella's husband, Michael Robson, 58, and grown son, Anthony Vella, 21, both of St. Petersburg, were airlifted to a Miami hospital shortly after the fire.
