Shelby County sheriff's office spokesman Earle Farrell said dispatchers received a call about noon Friday that the vessel sank about 3 miles south of Mud Island in Memphis.
Farrell said boats from the sheriff's office and a Tennessee wildlife agency were searching for two people in the cold, briskly moving water.
Farrell said the search would continue until nightfall.
