RedactedNarrative: On 03/17/21 at approximately 1725 hours, I was dispatched to 1431 Lighthouse Circle in reference to a boating incident that occurred on Lake Oconee located in Greene County, Georgia. While en route, I spoke to the owner of H2O Adventures Inc.. Subject1 stated that she rented two personal watercrafts to subject2. Subject1 stated that Subject2 advised her that while he was operating one of the PWC's, he struck some timber in the lake causing fiberglass damage to the port side rear of the vessel. No personal injuries were reported from her nor Subject2 at that time. 
  
  	Upon my arrival at the above address, I proceeded to the dock and made contact with Subject2. Subject2 stated that earlier that date while he was operating one of the PWC's (GA 7450 SM), he struck some timber/wood in the lake causing damage to the fiberglass. As I began to inspect the damaged area to the fiberglass, I noticed blue paint transfer against the white fiberglass of the damaged vessel. 
  
  	Upon further inspection, I did NOT observe any wood fragments impaled into the fractured area of the vessel. As I confronted Subject2 of my findings and physical evidence observed, Subject2 did not change his statement. It was after I explained to Subject2 the severity of making false statements that he then confirmed my suspicion that the damaged vessel was struck by the other rented vessel.  
  
        	At this time, Subject2 requested his son, a juvenile (driver to vessel 1 PWC GA 7450SM, the damaged vessel port side rear) and a juvenile (driver to vessel 2 PWC GA 8822 BJ, the damaged vessel front) to meet us at the dock. As I spoke to both juveniles (with parent/guardian present), they advised they were operating the vessels towards the Ritz Carlton with standing timber on the right. Both operators confirmed the severely damaged vessel did not strike any wooden object in the water but instead the two were operating too close to one another when Operator2's vessel collided with Subject2's vessel. 
  
  	Neither of the two operators had any complaints of personal injuries. Upon further investigation, neither Operator2 nor Subject2 possessed a boating safety course card recognized by the state of Georgia. 
  
  	My investigation revealed through my training and experience in working boating incidents, that Operator2 was within 100' of Subject2's vessel above idle speed, operating his vessel in a reckless manner and struck Subject2's vessel port side rear. 	
  
  Furthermore, neither Operator2 nor Subject2 should have been allowed to operate the above vessels without having satisfied the educational requirements for persons born after 01/01/1998. It was also determined through my investigation, that Subject2 rented the PWC's from Subject1 with H2O Adventures and was responsible for both vessels listed above. 
  
  	Both PWC's were picked up by representatives of H2O Adventures with direction of Subject1. Robert Subject2 was issued a citation for allowing persons 12-15 years of age to unlawfully operate a PWC.
