V2 was properly docked  (unoccupied) on the icw along the outside/east dock of the banana boat restaurant.  V3 was exiting a narrow access canl eastbound into the icw from its dockage.  V3 was a 65ft commercial drift fishing boat.  V1 was attempting to dock directly behind v2 and at the same time v3 was exiting the canal.  While trying to dock, the stern of v1 blocked the path of v3.  V3 stopped in the canal, but was restricted in its maneuverability.  V3 sounded its horn and the operator of v1 decided to terminate its current and initial attempt at docking.  V1 completed the turn, now facing northbound in the icw and directly at the stern ov v3.  V1 quickly reversed in an attempt to back into the dock directly behind and to the stern of v2.  At this point the port side stern of v1 made contact with the rear port side of v2, the impact forced v2 hard into the dock.  In addition to the port side damage, v2 sustained damage to starboard side in two different areas as result of impact with the dock poles.  V1 sustained damage to the port side stern.  No contact was made with v3 and it continued on its fishing voyage.  Damage to the wooden dock consisted of a broken dock pole.
