RedactedNarrative: Parasail charter vessel struck bow of sculling (rowing) vessel while launching parasailers.  Occupant of rowing vessel jumped out of the boat to avoid being struck.  No injuries occurred.
  
  On Sunday, March 27th, 2016, at approximately 1145, Operator1 was operating Florida registered vessel FL8026MA,a commercial parasailing vessel for Caribbean Watersports, bayside of mile marker 96.5 in Key Largo, FL.  Operator1 and his mate were in neutral, facing into the wind (South Southeast), preparing to launch two customers in a tandem parasail.  Operator1 observed Operator2 rowing in a northern direction in front of his vessel.  Operator1 then focused back on his customers for a few moments to make sure they were ready and following his directions.  
  
  	He placed his boat into gear and began to come up on plane, not seeing Operator2 in her rowing shell in front of him.  After the mate let out the parasailers approximately 25ft into the air, the parasailers yelled "look out", while Operator2 yelled to get Operator1's attention as well.  Having very limited mobility in her shell, Operator2 jumped out to avoid getting struck by the parasail vessel.  At that same moment, Operator1 saw the rowing shell in front of him and turned his vessel to the left in attempt to avoid hitting her.  He struck the bow of the rowing shell, and slowed his vessel.  The parasailers then began to loose altitude. 
  
  	 Operator1 looked back at Operator2 to make sure she swam back up to the surface.  He noticed her surface and grab onto her shell, and then noticed the parasailers had lowered into the water about waist deep.  He accelerated slightly to bring them back out of the water so the mate can bring them back into the boat.  After about five minutes, the customers were brought back into the vessel and Operator1 drove back to assist Operator2.  Operator1 and subject brought Operator2 and her rowing shell onto their vessel.  Operator2 was transported back to her home and the shell was brought back to Caribbean Watersports at the Hilton, Key Largo.
