RedactedNarrative: On July 30, 2022 at 1230 hours I, Officer responded to TOP Gun Watersport located at 2107 Herring way for a vessel accident with no reported injuries.  Upon arrival I spoke to the guide who stated the following.
  
      Guide stated he was assigned to monitor the guided jet ski tour for Top Gun Watersports in the Isle of Wight Bay.  Guide stated that he observed a jet ski that was being operated by Operator2, with a passenger, traveling in a westerly direction.  Guide stated that Operator2 slowed down for another jet ski.  Guide stated that a subject identified as Operator1 who was operating a jet ski in a northerly direction failed to observe Operator2 slow, and this caused a collision.   Guide stated that it appeared that Operator1 failed to slow down at all prior to the collision.  Guide stated that he responded to Operator2 and Operator1 and observed there were no injuries but did observe damage to the jet ski that Operator1 was operating, the jet ski was still operational and returned to the dock under its own power.  
  
      I spoke with Operator1 who stated the following. Operator1 stated he was participating in a guided tour with Top Gun Watersports in the Isle of Wight Bay.  Operator1 stated that he was traveling north and failed to observe Operator2 slowed down.  Operator1 stated by the time he realized that Operator2 slow down, it was too late. Operator1 stated that he attempted to take corrective action, however the collision occurred.  Operator1 stated that he was not injured in the collision.  Operator1 had less then 10 hours operating any style vessel, and obtained his temporary boater safety card from Top Gun Watersports.  I asked Operator1 if he recalled the rule of being six knots or less when within 100 feet of another vessel.  Operator1 stated that he did, but failed to do so prior to the collision. 
  
      I spoke with Operator2 who stated that following.  Operator2 stated that he was participating in a guided tour with Top Gun Watersports in the Isle of Wight Bay as well. Operator2 stated that he slowed down for another jet ski as he was heading in a westerly direction.  Operator2 stated that he was able to observe that Operator1 was not slowing down.  Operator2 stated that Operator1 attempted to take corrective action however this was unsuccessful.  Operator2 stated that Operator1 collided with him.  Operator2 stated that he was not injured in the collision.   The passenger provided the same story as well and he was not injured either.
  
     It should be noted that all three parties involved in this collision were friends.
  
      The jet ski that Operator1 was operating was a 2022 SEADOO BRP with a single 130 H.P. motor with Maryland registration.  The vessel received fiberglass damage to the bow.  Top Gun Water Sports estimated that damage at $3000.00 to repair.  The Jet ski that Operator2 was operating a 2022 SEADOO BRP with a single 130 H.P. motor with Maryland registration.  No visible damage was observed on this jet ski.  
  
      The cause for this collision was not having a proper lookout failing to reduce speed to 6 knots or slower while being within a 100 feet of another vessel, and operator inexperience  Because there were no injuries, Operator1 was issued two warnings.
  
      All above events occurred in Worcester County, Maryland. .
