Vessel 1 (V-1) had five occupants onboard and was traveling at idle speed north bound in the Banana River south of Mathers Bridge.  While north bound V-1 was hit by two waves from the wake of an unidentified vessel.  Wave one was traveling in a south east direction and hit V-1 on the port side between the bow and mid ship at an angle.  The operator of V-1 instructed the three occupants sitting in the bow area of the vessel to come to the stern.  As the occupants were going to the stern of V-1 wave two hit the vessel.  This caused V-1 to stand on stern in the water causing all passengers to fall in the water.  V-1 floated upright for approximately 15 to 20 minutes then sank to the bottom of the Banana River.
