Vessel 1 and Vessel 2 were both rented and had been in operation for approximately 55 minutes when the Operator of Vessel 1 attempted to splash Vessel 2 using Vessel 1.  Vessel 2 was drifting at the time of the incident.  Vessel 1 approached Vessel 2 from the starboard side and, being unfamiliar with the stopping distance for the vessel, turned to port too late, striking the starboard side of Vessel 2 with the port side bow area of Vessel 1.  Both Operators were ejected by the collision.  Following the collision both Operators were able to re-board and operate to shore.  Neither party was injured; however, both vessels suffered damage.
