The boat sinks, but they keep broadcasting until the very last minute. The government refuse to come to their aid, but they are promplty rescued by "a boatload of boats" captained by adoring fans who listened to their final moments over the radio. Everyone lives. Everyone is happy. The sixties continue, unabated.

More questions & answers from The Boat That Rocked
Chosen answer: They can be seen in a couple of long shots of the ship's prow as the DJs shelter there. It's reasonable to assume, given that they were present when the rescue flotilla arrived, that they were picked up as well, just off-screen while the film focused on the main characters.
