RedactedNarrative: On May 16th, 2021 at approximately 1400 hours, we were on water patrol near Miami Marine Stadium when we heard an individual state on Channel 16 on VHF marine radio that his vessel was taking on water by Dinner Key Channel. We immediately responded to the scene. 
  Upon arrival on scene, the vessel was already completely sunk and resting upright on the bottom of the bay just south of the South Dinner Key Channel, and the five occupants who were onboard the sunken vessel were on a Coral Gables Police vessel. 
  The cause of the accident was determined to be machinery failure (bilge pump failure) combined with rough waves (approximately 2 feet) which caused the vessel's hull to fill up with water and also take on a large amount of water over its stern quickly causing the vessel to sink. The vessel was identified by Florida registration number as FL 6345 GY. 
  I collected sworn written statements from the operator of the vessel and one of the vessel's occupants. I took photos of the sunken vessel as well. There were no reported injuries as a result of this boating accident. 
  The sunken vessel was salvaged by Fast Response Towing and returned to Seminole Boat Ramp at Dinner Key. We transported all five occupants from the sunken vessel to Seminole Boat Ramp. 
  Body camera footage was captured during this incident. 
  End of report.
