RedactedNarrative: On Sunday November 11, 2018 at 2057 hours I was dispatched to Lewes for a water rescue in progress. Dispatch, Kent Com, had limited information, however stated that The Delaware Pilot Boat was with a 36 foot fishing vessel that had a collision with the outer wall in Lewes. I contacted the Delaware Pilot Boat Tower and confirmed that the Pilot boat was with the vessel and was trying to rescue to subjects who were standing on the rock. I arrived to patrol vessel MP Whiskey with LT. and made contact with the Pilot tower over the VHF radio. I was informed that a male and female were on board the Pilot boat and was in route to the station in Lewes. I arrived at the Pilot station and made contact with the operator of the vessel, D1 and a female passenger. 
  
  Operator1 stated that they departed from Atlantic City and were cruising across Delaware Bay to stay in Lewes overnight. They planned on docking their vessel at the public dock in the Lewes Canal and then departing Lewes Monday to continue cruising south to the Bahamas. Operator1 stated that they both had made this trip together 2 years ago. I asked about the collision and Operator1 stated that around 2030 hours is when he hit the outer wall. He stated that he was running his chart plotter and radar and was cruising around 10-15 knots. He saw the light house on the outer wall but somehow did not see the wall itself. He stated that he thought the only thing in the area was the light house and then he hit the outer wall. 
  
  At that point he climbed onto the rocks of the outer wall and grabbed what he could and tied his boat off to the wall. He used his VHF radio to signal for help, shot off a flare and then used a flash light to signal a vessel he saw, the Pilot Boat. Both Operator1 and Occupant were not injured and refused treatment from EMS. After interviewing both Operator1 and Occupant, Lt. and I responded to the area of the collision on MP Whiskey and assisted Tow Boat and Coast Guard in towing the vessel to a boat lift in Lewes. The vessel was safely towed back to Lewes Harbor Marina and pulled out of the water. With the assistance of the Coast Guard, I examined all safety equipment required for the state. Operator1 arrived and could not provide any documentation for the vessel. A warrant check was done by Kent Com and also by Coast Guard for Operator1 which came back negative. I documented damage of the vessel with photos and informed Operator1 I would be in contact with him at a later date. 
  
  On Monday November 12, 2018 I made contact with Operator1 at the Inn at Canal Square in Lewes and issued him a citation for Inattentive operation/ Failure to maintain proper lookout.
