He said the search ended at 2am.
However, it is understood that the fourth person is still missing and the emergency services remain at the scene today, with a Broads Authority ranger boat and police vessel combing the river.
The ambulance spokesman added: “Two ambulances, three Hazardous Area Response Team vehicles, an ambulance officer vehicle and East Anglian Air Ambulance were called to East End Lane Aldeby yesterday evening, responding to reports that a man was missing after a small craft sank.
“Five crew from our Hazardous Area Response Teams joined the coastguard and other blue-light colleagues in the search for the missing person, but the search was stood down at 2am this morning.
“Three other persons who were on the craft were assessed at the scene but did not require hospital transport.”
Suffolk police and fire have declined to comment and HM Coastguard and the Broads Authority have been approached for comment.
