A 911 caller reported the watercraft out of concern, French said.
There were no reports of anyone spotted in the water.
Dayton Fire, Dayton Police and Five Rivers MetroParks crews searched the land and water areas extensively surrounding the watercraft and found no victims, according to French.
No abandoned vehicles were noted in the area, he added.
It was determined that the watercraft had been previously reported as stolen from the University of Dayton.
Dayton Fire crews operated at the scene for approximately one hour.
“There are no plans for additional searches related to this incident at this time, and it was determined that the watercraft had likely been abandoned,” French said.
