RedactedNarrative: Vessel 1, Florida registered vessel FL1077SY, was traveling southwest in the ICW 1/8 mile south of crescent/206 beach bridge. Vessel 1 was operated by OP1. Vessel 1 was occupied by seven passengers.  
  At approximately 12:30pm, Vessel 1 collided with Red channel marker 60. No one onboard sustained injuries.
  OP1 advised he was traveling southwest out of the slow speed zone at Crescent Beach Bridge/ SR206. He advised he was doing approximately 25MPH. OP1 advised he just got his vessel on plane and as the vessel started to level out, he saw Red Channel Marker 60 and hit it with the bow of his vessel. The channel marker snapped in half. OP1’s advised that due to the design of the vessel seating he had several people in-front of him at the time of the crash and had restricted visibility. OP1 advised by the time he looked forward it was to late to correct and that’s when he hit the marker wooden pole. I did confirm Vessel 1 collided with red channel marker 60, as the channel marker was missing.
  Upon inspection to the damage sustained to Vessel 1, I observed impact damage to the starboard side bow. The metal was separated. I observed transfer wood chipping from the channel marker imbedded in the metal.
