RedactedNarrative: On April 13 at approximately 1558 hours I, Officer of the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission was contacted marina owner of Sebastian River Marina in Micco. He notified me that a vessel accident took place in his marina on Saturday April 9th 2016 and everyone involved is there and they want to report it.
  
  I made contact with him and he filled me in on what the damage was and introduced me to all parties and vessels  involved.
  
  I identified the one vessel by its vessel name and federal documentation number that read: DO633079 Which is a 1980 37 foot Endeavour sailing vessel white in color with a vessel named displayed as "LUANA" (V1) which was moored in the marina slip at the time of the accident
  
  I identified the other vessel by its Florida registrations numbers that showed: FL6075PT which is a 2006 27 foot Sea ray Blue in color with a vessel name displayed as "Fish Reaper" (V2).
  
  I spoke to the owner of V1 who I identified by his Florida drivers license that read:
  
  -  When he arrived at the marina a few days later he was informed that a boat named "fish reaper" had gotten tangled with his vessel rigging.
  - When he inspected his vessel for damage he noticed the Mizzen Boom and stern ladder were bent, and the sternlight was broken. 
  - He called the owner of V2 and arranged a meeting at the marina to discuss the damages.
  - He told me he was not on the vessel at the time of the accident.
  
  Next I spoke to the parties of V2 and I identified the operator and passengers as follows:
  
  They agreed to fill out sworn written statements that all contained the following information:
  
  - On Saturday April 9th Operator was driving the vessel and was pulling out his vessel slip that faced east bound they had to stop and wait for another vessel to come in.
  - During this time of stopping and reversing boat drifted into and struck V1.
  - A fishing rod on their (V2) vessel caught on V1s ladder and began to pull it which in result broke the bimini top on their vessel (V2).
  - Subject cut the fishing line and they continued out of the marina. 
  - The only damage noticed was the fishing rod and the bimini on their (V2) boat.
  
  CONCLUSION:
  
  Based on all evidence collected, witness statements, and photos  gathered to date I have concluded that the operator of V2 failed to maintain proper lookout. When the operator of V2 throttled up the motors it caused the accident by striking V1 and causing damaged.
  
  I issued the operator of V2 a written warning for failure to maintain proper lookout and a verbal warning for failure to report accident or contact owner of unoccupied vessel
