RedactedNarrative: On April 14, 2018 at 1842 hours I responded to a reported vessel crash at the Jensen Beach Causeway. Upon my arrival on scene, I observed the unoccupied vessel, a 17' Sea Fox center console pinned against the seawall of the South West Causeway catwalk. I met with the vessel operator, as well as the three passengers who had managed to climb onto the catwalk uninjured. The vessel owner and operator stated that while traveling North on the Intracoastal Waterway approaching the Jensen Causeway his motor died. Due to the strong wind and current conditions the operator was unable to control his vessel, which subsequently struck the concrete seawall of the catwalk. Assisted by several fishing bystanders, the operator and his passengers were able to exit the vessel and climb onto the safety of the catwalk where the vessel was secured with rope. At The operator's request his vessel was removed by Tow Boat U.S. and towed to the North Causeway boat ramp where it was trailered from the scene by the operator. I observed damages sustained to the vessel to include a severely cracked motor cowling, a broken bimini top, a torn section of rub rail as well as possible structural damage to the vessels starboard midship resulting from the strong wind and current pushing it into the concrete seawall. No injuries were observed or reported in this incident. During the investigation into this incident it was discovered that the vessel was equipped with only two personal flotation devices of an improper type, for four persons aboard. It was also discovered that the vessels visual distress signals were expired (2003). I issued the operator a citation for his PFD violation, and a verbal warning for the expired VDS. No further information to report at this time.
