  On this date I was detailed to a vessel accident at Harbor House Marina located along the Intra-Coastal Waterway / Beach Thorofare. Upon arrival I was met by the owner of Vessel #2 at Slip. V2 Owner advised that he was in the cabin of his vessel, while secured in its slip, when the vessel violently moved and rocked by a wake. He heard a loud bang coming from his vessel as it rocked. He exited the cabin to find all the other vessels around him were rocking. He then discovered that his starboard midship cleat measuring 10 inches was torn from the toe rail where it was mounted with thru bolts backed with nuts and washers. I observed the cleat where it appeared that the stainless nuts stripped off the stainless bolts threads. The bolts appeared to be in good condition prior to the damage except for the freshly stripped threads. He further advised that the midship cleat was attached to a spring line going to the middle piling in his slip. He then stated that there were several witnesses from the dock that saw the sightseeing vessel, Cyclone (Vessel #1), come by causing a large wake off its stern as it traveled S/B in the ICW just outside the “No Wake” barrel followed by a large wake entering the marina and causing all the vessels to be thrashed in their slips. 
  
  I then was met with owner of Vessel #3 at Slip. V3 owner advised that he was not at his vessel at the time of this incident. When he returned he was advised that he may have damage from the wake. He then inspected his vessel where he located damage to his rub rail and toe rail along the port side of his vessel. I observed the damage which consisted of small impact cracks in the fiberglass along the toe rail and the rub rail was separated from where it was attached to the hull joint. The damage was consistent with the vessel rocking and striking underneath the dock. 
  
  
  I then canvassed people on the dock in search of witnesses. I spoke with subjcet, who advised that on occasion the weekend operator of the sightseeing vessel Cyclone comes by and pushes a large wake off the vessel which she believes is intended for the PWC operators to be able to jump the wake. She further advised that during this incident, she was sitting outside her apartment and she observed Vessel #1 traveling S/B in the ICW just outside of the “No Wake” barrel. She observed that it was pushing a large wake. She watched the wake enter into the marina where it caused all of the docked vessels to excessively rock and thrash within the slips. She knew immediately that there had to be damage from the wake due to the size of it and the violent movements of the vessels. 
  
  It should be noted during this investigation, I observed the “No Wake” barrel within approximately 150 ft off the breakwater for Harbor House Marina. If vessel #1 was traveling just outside the buoy then he would have been in violation of the No Wake law being 200 ft from a marina above idle speed as well as the marked “No Wake” barrel. While I was on scene the wind was coming from the NW across the bay and it was causing rough seas within the marina even when other vessels were not passing. Therefore, if there was a passing vessel causing a larger wake then it would have definitely traveled into the marina. 
  
  I located the sightseeing vessel Cyclone a few marinas south of Harbor House Marina at the Pirates Cove Marina. I spoke with the owner and the operator. Operator advised that his last trip back to the marina he was not causing any large wakes off the vessel although there was a large unknown sportfish traveling in front of him causing a wake as they passed Harbor House Marina. 
  
  Pirates Cove Marina was preparing to close at the time of my investigation and there were no passengers available for statements due to the time lapse. 
  
  I advised all the parties that an accident report will be completed based on the damage and witness statement.
