  The boating accident investigation revealed that Operator rented the vessel from "Fun in the Sun Charters" at approximately 1000 Hrs on April 3rd, 2019. He and ten of his friends were told to go to Boca Chica Beach on the south side of Boca Chica Key because the wind was strong that day from the Northeast. 
  
  Subject gave him explicit instructions of where to go for the day-long rental. Operator instead went to the North side of Key West to observe wild dolphins. After returning from the North side of the island, Operator was en-route to their original destination at Boca Chica beach. Operator navigated the Gulf of Mexico and planned on traversing under the Boca Chica Bridge to get to the Atlantic side. Operator approached the bridge at approximately 1:34 PM on April 3rd, 2019. Operator chose the third span from the west to traverse under the bridge. Operator claims that he was unsure of the clearance under the bridge and the height of his rental vessel and slowed the vessel. Operator said that as he approached the bridge, the upper most railings of the boat hit the bridge. He continued on under the bridge to the south side so as not to incur any further damage by putting the vessel in reverse. The Boca Chica Bridge is a dual span fixed bridge approximately 2600 ft in length with a vertical clearance of 20ft at the center of the bridge and lower clearances of approximately 10ft at the east and west ends of the bridge(see NOAA Chart 11442 “N” US 1 Fixed Bridges).
