RedactedNarrative: On March 31, 2018 at 1944 hours, Officer 1 and Officer 2 were on state water patrol within Miami Dade County when we received a call about a possible vessel accident in the area of 79th Street Causeway. The call was heard by Lt. 1 via Inner-City radio and he advised our FWC dispatch center. 
  
  At 1946 hours we arrived at 79th Street boat ramp and flagged down by Miami Dade County park officer who was able to advise which vessels were involved. We assessed the parties involved for injuries, there were none. I pulled one of the individuals involved aside. Operator 1 was the operator of the striking vessel (V1). 
  
  Officer 2 was able to speak with the other vessel owners who owns vessel (V2) and who owns vessel (V3). 
  
  Operator 1 explained to me that he launched his vessel on pier 1 and then reversed towards in between pier 3 & 4 to pick up his occupants that were in the parking lot. V2 was docked on pier 3 and V3 was docked on pier 4. Both vessels were unoccupied at the time of the collision with V1. Operator 1 stated he reversed in between V2 & V3 and tried to dock his vessel in front of V2. Operator 1 stated that when he was in front of V2 that he encountered throttle/shifting issues that caused his vessel to stay engaged in forward and strike V2 bow to bow then making contact with the pier positioning his vessel horizontally in between both pier 3 & 4. Operator 1 tried to recover the vessel and engaged in reverse causing him to collide with V3 forcing V3 to be partially pinned under pier 4.
   
  The owners of (V2) and (V3) described the incident the same way and the owner of (v2) was able to provide a picture during the incident showing V1 making contact with V2. The rate of speed was minimal as they were within the piers of the boat ramp. 
  
  V2 received damage at the bow and V3 received damage on its starboard side to include canvas top that broke and came loose and also damaged the shifting mechanism from going under pier 4. V1 received fiberglass damage in between midship and its bow from making contact with a pier post. 
  
  None of the vessel have insurance. Operator 1 agreed to settle damages as a civil matter with and exchange of information with all parties involved.
