RedactedNarrative: Vessel two (V2) with one operator and three occupants was traveled northwest in the channel along island estates toward Carlouel Yacht Club. Vessel one (V1) with one operator and one occupant left the seawall from a home and began traveling east and toward the channel and the path of V2. V1 collided with V2 at approximately the port midship of V2 causing all occupants of V1 to be ejected. The operator of V1 sustained fatal injuries and was pronounced deceased at Morton Plant Hospital. The other occupant of V1 sustained serious injuries and was transported to Bay Front Medical Center. The occupants of V2 received no injuries and refused treatment on scene. 
  
  At approximately 1630 hrs Operator1, the operator of V1, and his daughter were operating a borrowed PWC from a home they were staying at. V1 was operating with another PWC in the area just north of Mandalay Channel. The other PWC had a passenger that decided they wanted to go back to the house so both PWCs were taken back to the house to allow them to disembark. While offloading the passenger from that other PWC, V1, still with the same operator and occupant, came up on plane at a high rate of speed from the sea wall just to the south of the home. V1 traveled to the east and continued to accelerate. 
  
  At the same time V2 was on plane traveling northwest in the channel along the north-east side Island Estates towards Carlouel Yacht Club. V2 came around the final edge of Island Estates and headed more to the west towards their home in Carlouel Yacht Club. V1 continued plane to the east towards the path of V2 and collided with V2 at the midship of the port side. V
  
  2 turned sharply to starboard causing V1 to go under the chin of V2 and causing V2 to ride across V1 as both vessels heeled. Both occupants of V1 were ejected during the collision and likely collided with the port side freeboard of V2. 
  
  V2 continued on plane after the collision with V1 disabled in the water until V2 was able to slow down and turn back to render assistance to V1.  V1 operator had been drinking alcohol.
