UPDATED 10.23AM: Rain has stalled the search for two boaties missing off the South Island's West Coast.

Police were searching for the men yesterday after a pilot spotted debris and a life raft on the shoreline of Jackson Bay.

A helicopter rescued one man from Neils Beach, and he was taken to hospital, but two men are still thought to be missing.

Police search teams will resume the search for the other two men when the skies clear up.
