RedactedNarrative: On August 6, 2022, at approximately 1900hrs I was informed of a boating accident over the VHF channel 16 marine radio.  There was a report of a 2006 23’ White Sea Hunt (V2) traveling north in the channel north of crab island near green marker 14.  The Sea Hunt was struck by a 2022 11’ green Yamaha Jet Ski (V1).  Operator1 was traveling northeast then turned his vessel in the direction of V2 and struck the starboard side. Operator1 was ejected from the jet ski and landed in the water.  The operator of V2 assisted Operator1 back on his ski and notified 911.  The operator of V1 was transported to the USCG by Fire and Rescue and evaluated by EMS.  The operator of V1 complained of hip pains but denied medical assistance.  See Detailed report for further information. 
  
  According to Operator1, he was operating his PWC on the north side of Crab Island outside of the no wake zone and turned his vessel in the direction of a boat.  He attempted to turn the PWC but was unable to change direction and struck the starboard side of the vessel.  Operator1 was thrown off his Jet Ski and landed in the water.  The damage to the Jet Ski was a large portion of the bow of the jet ski crushed.  The fiber glass was crushed in an area approximately 16” by 20”.  The vessels motor was making a metal-on-metal sound and was towed back to the livery by the livery’s employees. The damage to the Jet Ski was estimated to be $3000.00.  Operator1 did have a valid boaters course. 
  
  I made contact with the operator of V2 and according to him, they were cruising out from Crab Island and approximately 100 yards from the no wake zone he saw a Jet Ski approaching him quickly.  As soon as he noticed the jet ski Operator2 stated the jet ski struck the starboard side of his vessel.  Operator2 also stated the operator was thrown off the jet ski.  Operator2 assisted him to the ski and called 911. The damage done to the vessel was estimated to be $6000.00. Operator1 received a small abrasion approximately 3 inches to his left inner thigh.  Operator1 complained of hip pain.   Operator1 was seen and treated by EMS on site and refused further treatment and refused to go to the hospital.
