The boat had around 10 people on it who reportedly cannot recall whereabouts on the lake the teen got off.
At 4pm local time on 24 Jun, authorities were alerted that Marly was missing, as reported by Need To Know.
It is believed that the group of friends was out on an excursion day on Grayson Lake, Kentucky.
The reservoir stretches over 1,500 acres.
Local police and first responders have sparked a frantic search for the missing woman.
Helicopters, drones, K9 teams, boats, GPS, divers, phone data, people on foot, off-road vehicles and regular vehicles have been deployed to the area.
She has been described as 5ft5, around 125lbs and has black hair.
Marly was last seen wearing a pink, orange, and white bikini.
Friends and family members have been pleading with locals to come forward with any information they may have on the teen.
An arrest was allegedly made for one member on the boat for ‘boating under the influence’.
It is unknown if Marly had consumed any alcohol at the time of her disappearance.
A digital creator who focuses on true crime and missing persons cases has also released a statement on the search.
Matt Thibodeau said: “A search is underway in Carter County, Kentucky, after 19-year-old Marly Kinney was reported missing from the Grayson Lake area.
