V-2 was anchored 2 miles east of Soldier's Key and V-1 was headed West toward the coast. The operator of V1 stated he had the vessel on auto pilot and that he and the 2 other occupants where cleaning and organizing the deck when he looked up, V2 was in his path and they struck V2.  Vessel 2 had 5 passengers, 3 were in the water snorkeling and 2 were on board.  V2 also had a proper dive flag displayed.  The 3 subjects that were snorkeling did not witness the accident.  The owner of V2 stated he was on board, when he looked up he saw V1 heading directly at him and screamed at V1 which had no one at the helm. He then observed someone running to the steering wheel and attempted to turn but it was too late. No one was injured as a result of the accident, V2 sustained damage to the port bow of vessel.
