The Operator of Vessel 1 rented Vessel 1 and, after being provided with instructions by the rental agency and being asked if he had any questions, replied with "No, I got this!"  With the rental agent watching, the Operator of Vessel 1 then applied excessive power to Vessel 1 in the limited space available to depart from the dock, cutting the heel hard to port and causing Vessel 1 to strike the port side of Vessel 2 tied to an adjoining dock.
