On May 14, 2013, at 10:15 am, I responded to a delayed vessel accident that occurred at the Rickenbacker Marina involving three vessels with no injuries. Vessel 1 traveling eastbound collided with vessel 2 that was docked causing vessel 2's bow to collide with a piling and vessel 2's stern to collide with vessel 3 which was also docked. 

On May 14, 2013 at10:15am, I responded to the Rickenbacker Marina (located at 3301 Rickenbacker Causeway, Key Biscayne, FL 33149) reference a delayed 3-vessel accident which occurred on or about 8:45am. Upon arrival, I met with the operator of vessel 1 (a 2002 44' Hinckley, green in color, DO1126492 named "PRONTO"). Operator advised that he was approaching the Rickenbacker Marina traveling eastbound attempting to dock his vessel at the fuel dock. He stated that the wind began to push his vessel toward the fuel dock so he attempted compensate for the wind's influence on his vessel using his jet-drive propulsion and ended up over-correcting causing his port side bow to collide with vessel 2 (a 2005 78' Azimut, black in color, DO1237876 named "ZETE") which was properly docked on the north side of the marina. 

As a result of this impact, vessel 2's port bow collided with a wooden piling causing damage. In addition, vessel 2's stern swung westward causing it's starboard stern to collide with vessel 3 (a 2009 72' Ferretti,silver in color, HIN XF473P23H809 name "SCORPIO") which was properly docked on the north side of the marina in an adjacent slip to vessel 2.  Due to this collision, vessel 3 sustained damage on its port side and it's stern collided with the marina's dock causing damage to a dock ladder. Both vessels 2 and 3 were unoccupied at the time of the incident.

There were no injuries reported at the scene.  Photographs were taken of the damage for all three vessels
