Vessel one entered and docked at a marina to dine. After eating  vessel one operator along with eleven more passengers started their journey out of the marina, but encountered a "squall" and delayed their exit to allow the weather to pass through. As the rain stopped vessel one continued out of the marina and neared the end of the dock. According to operator one, vessel one, which was maneuvered by a joystick controller, began to malfunction causing him to lose the capability to control the forward and rearward movement of the vessel. Vessel one started drifting towards the dock in the direction of a row of moored vessels. Vessel one also had a 15 foot vessel (v2) barged to the starboard rear side, both of which were rentals from the dock. Vessel one drifted towards the docking area. Vessel two struck vessel three which was moored in a dock slip. The starboard side of vessel two struck the rear deck of vessel three. It is believed that as these three vessels collided it caused vessel two to come untied and float adrift away from vessel one and vessel one continued down this forward path where it eventually struck the dock extending outward perpendicular to the row of moored vessels. as vessel one began to drift backwards, the front starboard side of vessel one struck the side of vessel four which was moored in a dock slip. The use of alcohol is unknown. Pfd's where not being worn or used.
