RedactedNarrative: On Saturday July 15, 2017, I Officer of the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) was on state water patrol in Monroe County, Florida. At approximately 1400 hours the FWC Miami Regional Dispatch Center received a call of a capsized vessel just south of Alligator Reef Lighthouse on the Atlantic Ocean side of Monroe County, Florida. 
  
  FWC dispatch center advised that there was five people in the water and that there was no other injuries.  I arrived on scene at approximately 1430 hours, US Coast Guard was on scene when I arrived and had all the people onboard their vessel. I then followed the US Coast Guard to Kon Tiki Resort where the vessel left from to gather more information.
  
   At the Kon Tiki Resort I identified the owner/operator. I also interviewed all the occupants onboard and they stated to me that they were anchored up fishing and that is when a wave came over the transom of the vessel and the vessel started to take on water. 
  
  The vessels bilge pump could not keep up with the intake of water and the occupants tried to get as much water out as they could by hand but did not do so successfully. All the persons on board decided to put life jackets on and call for help. They then got into the water and waited for help to arrive. No one was hurt during the capsizing of the vessel and they did not request for EMS. TowBoat US recovered the vessel and brought it back to Kon Tiki resort and that is when I identified the vessel as FL 4871 GW. There was no other damage on the vessel. No further action is taken at this time.
