RedactedNarrative: V1 was underway traveling south towards the passing west of the Cape Canaveral locks. There were three occupants on board the vessel and the vessel was traveling slowly due to rough seas. As the vessel passed the locks it began taking on waves and became swamped. The vessel slowly filled with water and began to overturn. A passing vessel saw their distress and came over to assist. The occupants of V1 moved over to the assisting vessel as V1 became swamped and slowly overturned.
  
  There were no injuries to the occupants and the assisting vessel towed V1 to a shallow area where they were able to right the vessel and bail out the water. 
  
  Upon concluding my investigation I determined that there were no violations that caused the accident. The vessel had a maximum capacity of 4 persons and there were 3 aboard at the time of the accident. The operator did not violate any navigational rules and there were no other boating violations present. Based on my observations, the vessel style, a low gunneled skiff type, and the rough conditions contributed to the accident.
