RedactedNarrative: On July 18th, 2015. at 1354 pm a call went out via FWC dispatch, regarding a capsized vessel with people in the water. I advised dispatch I would be en route to the location. Upon arrival at 1410 pm. I found the three (3) occupants on board a good Samaritan vessel. There vessel was capsized and almost completely under water upon my arrival. 
  
  While speaking to all 3 occupants I gathered all their information possible, due to all of their personal belongings were last seen in the capsized vessel. Once the interviews were complete. I transferred all 3 to Miami Dade fire boat's vessel for a health check and evaluation. Fire boat advised all 3 occupants were ok. 
  
  
  The captain and owner of the capsized vessel stated that they were anchored on the drop fishing, when they noticed all the compartments on the vessel were full of water and the aft of the vessel was sitting very low and taking on water from the swells. I asked the captain if the bilge pump worked. He stated that it worked in the past, but failed to work that day. At that moment they turned the vessel on and started to move while pulling the anchor rope up at the same time. unfortunately the anchor rope wrapped itself around the prop and made the vessel shut off . The vessel quickly started to take on more water and began to sink. All three men placed type III non-inflated vest on and entered the water. A good Sam saw what was happening and offered assistance and boarded all three men. 
  
  The vessel was up righted and taken back to port at Matheson Hammock Boat ramp by Fast Response towing salvage group. All three occupants were taken by fire boat to port. At 1516 pm my investigation was complete.
