Search and rescue teams were rushed to the area after the F/A-18 Hornet went down about 10:15 p.m. Wednesday.
The Hornet was flying with another plane which reported the crash.
The two Marines were rescued after about four hours in the water at about 2:30 a.m. Thursday and transported to Balboa Naval Medical Center in San Diego.
There was no word on what led to the crash. Officials said the missing jet was not recovered.
