RedactedNarrative: On 01 May 2018, I received a call from dispatch about a vessel that had washed up on the beach near Ft. Pickens. Dispatched advised three males were on the boat and are all okay.  Advised that the Ft. Pickens Rangers were with them and the vessel.  I contacted the Park Ranger.  The Ranger provided me contact numbers for the occupants on board at the time of accident.
  
  I contacted all three personnel on the vessel and received their statements.  Due to weather, Rough Surf I was unable to enter the Gulf to locate vessel.  
  
  My understanding is the vessel was heading east towards the Pensacola fishing pier at which time the waves were getting larger.  The captain and crew decided to turn around and head west towards the Pensacola Pass.  While heading west,  a wave came over the transom of the vessel causing the engine to stall.  The captain tried to get the vessel started but was unsuccessful.  The stern of the vessel continued to get hit by waves and causing the waves to come over the stern allowing water to enter the vessel.  As more water entered the vessel, the boat filled up causing the vessel to capsize and roll upside down.  The vessel continued to float and the three members floated on it to the shore where the vessel washed up on the beach.  
  
  No injuries were present.  No life jackets were being worn at the time of incident.  
  
  Tow Boat US recovered the vessel from the beach a few days later. The boat was salvaged.
