RedactedNarrative: On 7/23/2022 I, Lt. responded to Weekapaug beach in Westerly for a report of a boat on the beach.  When I arrived all of the occupants were already off the boat and no injuries were reported.  The operator, explained that he was a member of Carefree boat rentals in CT and this was one of their boats.  
  
  He said when he left the dock he noticed the bilge pump was on and called the rental company to ask if he should return to the dock.  He was told by and employee that it was fine and he could continue his trip.  When the reach the Westerly area he noticed that the boat was not handling well, the bilge pump was still running, and the steering was acting strange.  He checked the head area under the center console and noticed ankle deep water inside as well as water in the transom.  Realizing that the boat was taking on water he quickly drove it up onto the beach so it did not sink out from under them. 
  
  He reported no injuries and had contacted the rental company who was in contact with SEATow to removed the boat from the beach.  
  
  Nothing further to report.
