RedactedNarrative: Vessel collision just off of Little Palm Island. No injuries. No apparent damage to vessel 1. Vessel 2 suffered an estimated $8,000 in damages. 
  
  I asked Operator2 to describe what happened, to which she stated that her and V2 subject were on their vessel (Vessel-2), anchored, and fishing just off of Little Palm Island. Operator2 and V2 subject both stated that they observed a vessel (Vessel-1) coming toward them at a high rate of speed from their port side. V2 subject stated that he could not see the operator of the oncoming vessel (Vessel-1), and it appeared that the bow of the oncoming vessel (Vessel-1) was high. 
  
  V2 subject and Operator2 stated that they yelled and shouted to warn the approaching vessel (Vessel-1) prior to collision. Operator2 stated that the oncoming vessel (Vessel-1) was traveling very fast. V2 subject and Operator2 stated that they jumped into water to avoid being ran over by the oncoming vessel (Vessel-1). Neither V2 subject nor Operator2 observed the moment of impact, as they were underwater during the collision. V2 subject and Operator2 stated that when they resurfaced, the striking vessel (Vessel-1) was stopped on the starboard side of the struck vessel (Vessel-2). 
  
  I asked Operator1 to describe what happened to which he stated that he was operating the vessel (Vessel-1) near Little Palm Island. Operator1 stated that he did not see any vessels in his path and he then looked at a large yacht docked at Little Palm Island. He continued to state that as he looked away, he felt and heard the vessel he was operating (Vessel-1) strike an object. Operator1 stated that he thought he hit a manatee, because he thought there were no vessels in the area. Operator1 stated that after he struck the unknown object, he looked behind him to discover that he struck a flats boat (Vessel-2). Operator1 stated that after he struck the vessel (Vessel-2), he stopped and proceeded to help the owners. Operator1 continued to state that the center console of the vessel he was operating (Vessel-1) is very high, and it is difficult to see objects low in the water.
