On 09/15/2012 around 1100 hrs Vessel 1 (FL 8472 HG) occupied by 3 male adults and 1 male child started taking on water from the stern due to rough weather conditions and engine problems. Due to engine problems, the vessel could not maintain forward movement and waves were coming over the stern causing the vessel to take in water from the stern. Shortly before the vessel capsized  all occupants went overboard. All occupants were saved and accounted for by a nearby recreational good samaritan vessel. Several law enforcement agencies as well as a towing company responded to the location. The operator of the Vessel1 made arrangements with the towing company to get the capsized vessel towed to a secure location.
All of the occupants were taken to shore by the same good-sam vessel. None of the occupants of the capsized vessel were injured. It is unclear if the bilge pump of the vessel was operational before the accident.
