A body has been found in the search for a man who went missing after a boat capsized off Queensland's Whitsundays.

Three men were thrown from the vessel when it hit rocks and capsized about 2am on Wednesday near Haslewood Island in the Solway Passage.

The body, believed to be that of the missing man, was found by a helicopter crew around nearby Teague Island on Wednesday morning.

The body was recovered by a Volunteer Marine Rescue vessel.

The search was sparked when the other two men who were on the boat alerted authorities.

The pair, aged 26 and 27, had been rescued from the water about 6.30am on Wednesday and transported to Hamilton Island.

They were then transported to Mackay Base Hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
