RedactedNarrative: The vessel was not seaworthy, the operators were not given the proper pre ride instructions. The vessel filled with water from the cracks visible in the hull. The vessel was not able to self bilge. A combination of the two passengers and the water in the hull caused it to capsize, ejecting both passengers.
  
  On November 15, 2021, I was a member of the Search and Rescue Crew at Coast Guard Station Miami Beach.  We were performing a routine safety inspection and general boarding of a vessel in the vicinity of Hobie cat Beach, when a Pan-Pan (marine distress broadcast), came out over channel 16.  The report was for a capsized jet ski with two people in the water located on the North Side of Rickenbacker Causeway.   We immediately discontinued our boarding and responded.  Fortunately, we were within 1NM of the incident.  
  A Good Samaritan who initially reported the distress was located on the northeast side of Rickenbacker causeway.   He was attempting to assist when the current and elements swept the Jet Ski and two people under the causeway to the south side.    We sighted the jet ski just as it had passed underneath the Rickenbacker causeway and came to the aid of the two people in the water just on the southeast side of the causeway.  The two gentleman were wearing life jackets holding onto the Jet Ski, and one of them informed us that the other gentleman was unable to swim.  We safely assisted the two men and brought them on board the Coast Guard Vessel CG45648.  
  One of our Coast Guard Crew members speaks Spanish and was able to effectively translate and communicate with the two men.  After ensuring they had no injuries or medical emergencies we learned they had rented the Jet Ski from a man who was renting jet skis from the small island at the mouth of the Miami Marine Stadium.  To assist in determining the owner and information we attempted to locate and record the FL’s on the capsized Jet Ski.  It took three of our crew members to try and turn the Jet Ski just enough to gather the FL #’s.  In doing so, we noticed a significant amount of water that the Jet Ski had taken in.  We also noticed that the bottom of the hull was quite worn and the fiberglass had multiple hairline cracks and stress marks.  We decided that the integrity of the hull was compromised which caused the vessel to capsize.  Making the Vessel not seaworthy.
