Peel RNLI responded following a request for help from the coastguard.
Crew found the boat 12 miles north of Peel and safely returned it to the marina.
Volunteer Coxswain Mike Faragher said: "This is the type of incident our volunteer crew prepare for.
"It was satisfying to be able to assist the casualties by putting our training into practice."
