RedactedNarrative: On 3/17/2015 around 1500 hrs, I Ofc was on water patrol, when I received a call in reference to an overturned vessel with possible people in the water, in the vicinity of approximately 1 mile east of Collins Ave and 41st Street, Miami Beach in the Atlantic Ocean. 
  
  Upon arrival on scene I observed that Miami Dade Fire Rescue Boat 1 was on scene alongside with a USCG small boat. I also observed an overturned vessel (later identified as FL7680 JP) with only the bow above the water surface. I contacted the Fire Rescue crew who advised that both occupants were on the Fire Rescue vessel and were uninjured. I was also advised by Fire Rescue that both occupants would be taken to Watson Island Boat Ramp. In the meantime a vessel salvage company arrived on scene and started trying to upright the overturned vessel. 
  
  I proceeded to Watson Island Boat Ramp to meet with the victims. Once they arrived Operator stated that both victims went out for a day of fishing and that he was the operator and owner of the overturned vessel. He said that they anchored the vessel in the area of the accident. Operator said that they did not leave enough slack on the anchorline which resulted that the waves started coming inside the vessel. According to Operator a short period of time later the vessel also started taking on water from the low transom due to rough seas. Operator said that everything happened very fast and they were able to grab their life jackets before the vessel overturned. He said that they were able to hold onto the overturned vessel until Fire Rescue arrived on scene and pulled them off the water. Operator estimated the damage on his vessel at 6500.00 USD.
