RedactedNarrative: V1 and V2 were travelling on an intersecting course. V1 and V2 collided into each other.
  
  Operator1 stated that he was a member of Freedom Boat Club, and he had taken the Boat Club vessel (V1, 23ft Cobia FL7597SP) for the day from Miami Beach Marina. He had crossed underneath the Rickenbacker Causeway and was travelling South towards Stiltsville. Operator1 stated that when he was approximately ½ mile East of the Dinner Key Channel, he noticed another vessel coming from behind him in close proximity off his starboard bow, travelling East on an intersecting course. Operator1 turned his vessel in an attempt to avoid collision, but he did not notice the other vessel until it was too late. 
  
  	Next I spoke to the captain of the second vessel. He stated that he boarded his vessel (V2, 27ft Cobia FL1489MT), departed his marina in Coconut Grove and was travelling East out of the main Dinner Key Channel towards Cape Florida Channel. Shortly after exiting the channel he noticed another vessel in close proximity off his port bow, travelling South on an intersecting course. Operator2 turned his vessel in an attempt to avoid collision, but he did not notice the other vessel until it was too late. 
  
  Both operators stated that V1 and V2 struck each other at approximately a 45-degree angle. The action taken by both operators significantly reduced the severity of the damages. V1 sustained significant fiberglass damage to its starboard side bow, with visible cracks on the hull, top cap, and gunwale. V2 sustained no visible damage. No injuries were sustained by any of the operators or occupants.
