  On this date, I was detailed to The Maurice River in the area of Four Star Marina in Maurice River Township, Cumberland County for a reported overturned vessel.  Specifically, it was reported that a white Carolina Skiff was overturned and they were ejected.  The vessel was bearing New Jersey registration.  
  
  Dispatch next reported that a vessel traveling in the opposite direction was the cause and left the scene traveling toward the Delaware Bay. The vessel was described as a White approximately 23 foot vessel with a blue T-top. The vessel had two occupants, a dog and had the name Apollo II on the side.  
  
  Upon arrival, I spoke with the operator on vessel #1.  Same stated he was traveling east towards Millville when he observed vessel #2 traveling in the opposite direction.  Operator #1 claims vessel #2 was traveling at a high rate of speed pushing a large wake.  Operator #1 stated he turned into the wake in an attempt to hit it straight on.  After hitting the wake of Vessel #2, Vessel #1 capsized and all three occupants were ejected.  Operator #1 stated he did not pay very close attention to Vessel #2 at this point because he was concerned with the safety of his children.  
  
  I continued my investigation by checking all other marinas in the area.  I was able to locate a vessel matching the description provided by Operator #1. The vessel later identified as vessel #2 was tied up south east of the fuel docks at Long Reach Marina.  The vessel was a White 21 foot Mako with a blue T-top Bearing NJ Registration.   This vessel also had the name Apollo II on both sides.  I spoke with marina employees who stated the vessel left around noon and returned at approximately 1430.  This would put this vessel at the reported location at the time of this accident.  I was advised the owner’s son is the only one who uses the vessel and provided with a phone number for same.  
  
  I contacted the operator #2.   I advised operator #2 of the situation and he calmly stated he did not believe this was him.  Operator #2 admitted he was in the area at the time this occurred, but stated he had no knowledge of any vessel capsizing anywhere around them.  He stated at no time was he operating carelessly and did not believe his actions or wake caused any vessel to capsize.  
  
  As a result of this investigation it was determined that vessel #1 passed vessel #2 in opposite directions.  After passing each other vessel #1 turned into the wake of vessel #2 and capsized.  Both vessel #1 and vessel #2 were up on plane however, this was not a slow speed area for any reason.  Vessel #2 sustained no damage and may not have known vessel #1 capsized.    All though there was no impact the outboard engine on vessel #2 was submerged and is now inoperable. 
  
  There were no injuries and no summonses were issued.  The operator of vessel #1 stated he does not wish to pursue the matter at this time but was advised I have 30 days to issue same.
  
  No Further action was taken.
