RedactedNarrative: On 09/23/22 at approximately 1:52 PM, Coast Guard received reports on VHF 16 of a Good Samaritan vessel pulling 4 persons out of the water off Hackett’s Point in the Chesapeake Bay. I, Ofc. of the Maryland Natural Resources Police, boarded patrol vessel NRP 883 from Sandy Point State Park. I arrived in the area at approximately 2:08 PM and located the Good Samaritan vessel bearing MD registration with 6 persons on board. The vessel was at anchor and had a capsized 16-foot white hulled skiff attached to a line behind it. 
  
  I had the operator of the Good Samaritan vessel mark the capsized vessel with a red lifejacket I provided.  I transferred the 4 persons that were in the capsized vessel onto my patrol vessel and all 4 persons stated that they were okay and not in need of medical attention. The capsized vessel was a 16-foot Striper skiff bearing vessel registration at approximate GPS coordinates of 38.95906, -76.43351. The operator reported that he was operating the vessel in an Easterly direction at about 30 mph when a large wave came across their bow in the area of Greenbury Point in the Chesapeake Bay and filled the vessel with water. Operator began emptying water from the vessel with a bucket and all persons donned life jackets. A few minutes later, another large wake came across the bow of the vessel and capsized the boat.
  
  I transported the 4 passengers to Smith’s Marina, located at 529 Ridgley Rd, Crownsville, MD 21032, where Operator and his passengers launched that morning. Operator arranged for Tow Boat U.S. to tow his vessel to Smith's Marina. I collected a witness statement from Operator and obtained the names of his passengers.
  
  All events occurred in Anne Arundel County.
  
  This case is closed.
