When first responders arrived, they collaborated to devise a plan for the rescue.
Aerial footage showed crews using their own boat to maneuver alongside the out-of-control vessel.
Once close enough, Volusia County Fire Rescue Acting Division Chief and Technical Rescue Deputy Team Leader John Kyp boarded the boat and brought it to a stop.
Kyp was also able to transport the patient to shore for further treatment.
The sheriff's office reported that the boater is expected to make a full recovery.
The agency did not specify the cause of the patient's unconsciousness.
