RedactedNarrative: At 6:26PM on 02/15/2016 while on water patrol in the vicinity of the FWC Miami compound with Officer (FWC), Dispatch advised of an overturned vessel with kids in the water at Haulover Inlet. We arrived at 6:28PM to find a vessel (later identified as FL4708PT) secured to the inlet fender while being assisted by a salvage company vessel. All six of the individuals (three males and three females), including the owner, made their way onto the salvage vessel which began to transport them directly to Haulover Marina Fuel Dock, leaving FL4708PT secured to the Haulover Inlet fenders. Officer and I proceeded to follow the salvage company vessel to the Haulover Fuel Dock.
   
  We escorted the salvage vessel to Haulover Fuel Dock where four of the individuals were offloaded. I began to take written witness statements from two individuals who informed me that Operator had a cut to the top of his foot sustained from the incident. At that point, Operator and another male occupant went with the salvage vessel to pickup FL4708PT. When the two were finished with their written statements, I took the statements back to the patrol vessel and Officer and I followed the salvage vessel (towing FL4708PT) in our patrol vessel to Haulover Boat Ramp.
   
  Upon arriving at the Haulover Boat Ramp, subject and Operator got off of the vessel. I spoke to Operator who informed me that FL4708PT drifted to the Haulover Inlet and he could not control his vessel because "the engine would not turn on" and waves swamped the vessel causing it to capsize.  Subject stated that his injury stopped bleeding and was not lifethreatening. Operator was able to show life jackets and informed me that they were used on the minors. 
   
  At that point I photographed the condition of the vessel and spoke to the salvage vessel captain who advised he would be willing to fill out a written witness statement. I gave him the witness state form and I went to a FWC patrol truck with Operator, to photograph his injury and have him fill out a written witness statement. When asked what the estimated repair cost to the vessel would be, he informed me that he thought $600 would cover the repairs. I photographed his injury which stopped bleeding and he completed his written witness statement.
   
  Small puncture wound on top of left foot.
