RedactedNarrative: V1 was east bound near Jugg Creek Shoals. V1 took on water and capsized, causing (5) subjects to go overboard. 
  
  I spoke with owner/operator who informed me that he and his family were staying out on Cayo Costa Island State Park for the weekend. Due to the vessel's size and the amount of people they were traveling with, Operator had to make several trips back and forth from Cayo Casta to Bokeelia in order to carry everyone. He was on the second of (3) trips back to the boat ramp with family and supplies on board when the weather conditions worsened. The vessels engine started losing power and several large waves broke over the bow causing water to rush in and capsize the boat. All (5) subjects put on life jackets and had to swim until a nearby boat rescued them. 
  
  At approximately 1720 subject arrived back at the boat ramp with the rest of his family. 
  
  I spoke with two others.  both of thier descriptions of the incident were consistent with operator’s. 
  
  Operator had Tow Boat U.S. recover his vessel. The vessel was towed to Jugg Creek Marina were I inspected the vessels loading and capacity plate. The vessel was rated for 8 persons or 1400 pounds, therefore, Operator was not in violation of overloading the vessel. I provided assistance to help get his boat back on the trailer.
