A Maxfly Aviation Cessna Grand Caravan on a positioning flight at 6,500 feet suffered an engine jolt and whining noise, and the propeller stopped and feathered. Power could not be restored, so the pilots ditched in the Atlantic about 20 miles east of Fort Lauderdale. Both pilots escaped uninjured and the aircraft was not recovered.
