RedactedNarrative: officer was dispatched to a boating accident involving one male on a vessel that capsized south of Duck Key in Monroe County. Dispatch advised that the individual involved was taken aboard a good Samaritan vessel and transported to Hawks Cay Marina.
  Upon my arrival to the marina I made contact with Sundance water sports employee who was aboard the vessel that brought the individual involved in the accident back to the dock. Employee provided a statement that indicated he overheard a vessel calling the Coast Guard on vhf channel 16 that was passing information of an overturned vessel with one person in the water. Employee proceeded to the location provided and transferred the individual onto his vessel Coast Guard then arrived on scene and assessed Operator. At this time Operator refused medical treatment. Employee then proceeded to the dock at Hawks Cay Marina.
  I then made contact with the owner/operator of Sundance water sports. She stated the vessel Operator was aboard FL1643LU was rented from Sundance water sports. She then provided all necessary documents and insurance. Sundance water sports then re floated the vessel with no damage to the natural resource.
  I then contacted Operator at the resort room number 5106. Operator had no visible physical injuries but was physically exhausted he was unable to provide a written statement. 
  Operator did provide a verbal statement, summery as follows. He was ocean side of Duck Key in the rental vessel at anchor by himself when he attempted to pull the anchor. Upon doing so he was physically unable to pull it so he put the engine clutch ahead and retrieved the line as it slacked. during this time he noticed the engine had slowed so he trimmed the outboard up and saw the line on the lower unit. He then called the rental company who advised him to remove it. He was unable to do so. Within minutes the vessel swung stern to the choppy water, took waves over the stern and swamped causing the vessel to capsize. A passing vessel only known as TO KALON haling port FT Myers pulled him out of the water then assisted in the transfer to Employee vessel.
