RedactedNarrative: Vessel 1, with five persons and one dog on board engaged in fishing, was drifting when the Operator observed approximately two feet of water in the cabin.  The Operator reported that the trip had been uneventful until this point with no indication that Vessel 1 had struck anything in the water.  The Operator made a mayday call to the Coast Guard and then turned on the two bilge pumps aboard Vessel 1; neither of the two bilge pumps came on.  The Operator observed that the shower aboard Vessel 1 had one foot of water in it, but the drain pump did not come on.  The Operator then attempted to start the engine, but it would only turn over without starting.  The Operator and Occupants tried to bail water from Vessel 1, but could not keep up with the water coming in.  A wave then broke over the stern of Vessel 1, tilting Vessel 1 sideways, then submerging Vessel 1.  All parties aboard Vessel 1  were ejected into the water; one Occupant injured his right foot in trying to get away from Vessel 1.  All parties were able to don PFDs in the water and the party separated into two groups.  The Coast Guard arrrived on scene and assisted all parties from the water.  Vessel 1 subsequently sank into 67 feet of water at the original reported position.
