A man has died after his boat ran aground amid powerful swells at Port Hacking, south of Sydney.

Emergency services responded at 3.45pm on Monday to reports a vessel had run onto the rocks at Bundeena.

A man, aged in his 90s, was found unresponsive following a search of the vessel, a NSW Police spokesman said.
