RedactedNarrative: On 7/16/22 a Bryant Motorboat grounded itself at Oak Street Beach at approximately 1:00 PM. 11 persons were on board, no injuries occurred during the grounding. The operator reported the accident to Chicago Police Department Marine unit. I spoke to Operator at approximately 7:30 PM.
  Operator informed me that the watercraft was rented from Carefree Boat Rentals LLC. Operator stated that he rented the boat and took it from Belmont harbor to the Play Pen near Navy pier. Operator stated upon leaving the Play Pen at approximately 12:30 PM, the watercraft began taking on water over the bow. Operator attempted to get the watercrafts bilge pump running, but was unsuccessful. Operator proceeded to steer the watercraft into the Oak Street Beach Area and grounded the watercraft to avoid the vessel sinking in deep water. Tow Boat USA was contacted to remove the boat.
  On 8/7/22 I followed up with Carefree Boat Rentals main office located at 31st Street Harbor, Chicago. I was informed that Carefree's insurance had paid $20,000 for the watercraft and it was being scraped due to large amounts of sand damaging the interior of the watercraft.
