RedactedNarrative: On February 15th, 2023 at 1500 hrs, FWC dispatch advised of a boating incident that occured at Riviera Beach Marina. Two vessels were involved and no injuries were sustained. 
  I met with WITNESS who was present and on board V2 during the incident. WITNESS explained he was below deck near the stern performing maintenance and heard a loud noise. He looked up and saw V1 and the operator, which appeared to have struck the stern-starboard platform of the V2. I confirmed the statement with security footage facing the vessels at the marina office. The footage showed V1 anchored aft of V2. V1 operator attempted to leave the dock traveling forward and was unable to maneuver the vessel properly causing an allision between V1 and V2. V1's stern-port struck V2's stern-starboard, causing crushing and puncturing damage to the fiberglass and gel coasts of each vessel (see photos). WITNESS and OP1 exchanged information after the incident. No injuries were sustained during the allision. I contacted OP1 via cellular telephone who admitted he was the operator of V1 and confirmed the events of the incident. 
  	Based upon interviews and security camera footage, OP1 was in actual physical control of V1. He was unable to maneuver V1 and struck V2 while she was anchored. Wind, current conditions, and operator in-experience caused the allision. No citations were issued. Nothing further.
