The Mako 234 vessel was cruising down the middle of the South Padre Island Jetties when two shrimp boats that were out bound created a wake that swamped the Mako 234. Once the Mako 234 vessel was swamped, the vessel rolled on its side and eventually capsized near the jetties. The boat operator and his crew were able to swim and climb the jetties; no life jackets were worn during this accident. The Mako 234 slammed against the jetties. Arrangements were made with a local tow company to remove the vessel early the next day; vessel has been removed from the water.
