EMERGENCY services are attempting to rescue four people, who are stranded after their boat capsized at Dirk Hartog Island in Shark Bay, 800 kilometres north of Perth.
WA Police says the group have been spotted on a rock face.
One of the people is believed to have serious head and body injuries.
The other three do not appear to be injured, police said.
The RAC Rescue helicopter has been dispatched to rescue the injured passenger. A police helicopter has been deployed to rescue the others.
Volunteer Marine Rescue (VMR) Shark Bay president Greg Ridgley said the group is stranded at Black Rock, north of Steep Point.
A large swell means the area is only accessible by helicopter or four-wheel-drive, Mr Ridgley said.
Shark Bay Police contacted the Water Police at midday after receiving a report that a boat, about 10km north of Steep Point, was experiencing trouble.
The Water Police Coordination Centre received then an alert from the Rescue Coordination Centre in Canberra that an EPIRB had been activated at the same location.
Two boats responded and headed to the area.
An initial search failed to locate a vessel, which police believe has sunk.
