RedactedNarrative: Vessel leaving Miami Beach Marina struck skeg of docked vessel
  On July 15, 2018 at approximately 2000 hours I responded to a boating accident at the Miami Beach Marina Pier E. We spoke to both parties, Vessel 2 owned by a Livery (American Watersports Boat Rentals, LLC) was docked and unmanned at the end of the docks of the with its outboard engine tilted up out of the water. Vessel 1 operated by Operator 1 was underway with five passengers on board leaving the marina. As Operator 1 was exiting the marina he scraped the rear starboard side of his vessel with the skeg of the engine of vessel 2 (see photos attached). Operator 1 failed to avoid collision. The staff member of the livery had to go after Operator 1 by boat to advise him that he hit the docked vessel. Once they returned to the marina he reported the accident to FWC dispatch. When we spoke to Operator 1 he stated, that vessel 2’s skeg was sticking out too far. I photographed the damages. I conducted a boating safety inspection in which Operator 1 could not provide a Type IV throwable Personal Floatation Device (PFD) or serviceable Visual Distress Signals (VDS) showing me flares that expired in 2013. I cited Operator 1 for careless operations of a vessel, no serviceable Type IV throwable PFD and no serviceable VDS.
