RedactedNarrative: On November 28, 2019 at approximately 1945 hours, a single vessel boating accident occurred at the mouth of the Caloosahatchee River just offshore of Tarpon Point Marina (Lee County), resulting in an estimated $120,000 in damages. 
  
  The operator of V-1 had attempted to start the vessel's engines one hour prior, but was unsuccessful and noticed that they were overheating. After allowing the engines to cool, the operator attempted to start them again unsuccessfully, once again noticing that they were overheating. The operator opened the engine compartment, at which time a fire consumed the vessel, forcing the operator and two occupants to jump off of the vessel and into the water, where they were later rescued by a good Samaritan. No injuries were reported. The accident type is fire/explosion (non-fuel) and the primary causing factor is machinery failure related to the vessel's engine system. The State Fire Marshal was notified, and declined to pursue an additional investigation.
