RedactedNarrative: V1 72FT VESSEL DOCKED AND UNOCCUPIED STRUCK BY V2 50FT VESSEL RESULTING IN APPROX $30,000 WORTH OF DAMAGE. V2 OPERATOR DOCKED AND FAILED TO REPORT INCIDENT. NO INJURIES REPORTED.
  I arrived on scene and met with the dockmaster from The Marina. I watched the video of the accident. The videos were from docks A, B and D. Dock A is closer to Marco River and dock D is closer to Rose Marina. In the video from dock A, I observed a large vessel heading left to right. The striking vessel slows and appears to turn around by dock B and then ties off at the end of dock A. In the morning the vessel leaves dock A and heads towards dock D. In the video from dock B, I observed a large vessel tied off to the end of dock B. I watched as the same vessel from the dock A footage pulled up to and turned near the bow of V2. I noticed an obvious and sudden shift in V2s position as the other vessel made the turn. 
  The striking vessel proceeded back to dock A. Dock D video shows the V1 pulling into its assigned slip at the D dock the following morning. DOCKMASTER informed me that MIPD Officers thought the striking vessel was a 50-foot trawler the “V1”, a vessel located at dock D and agreed with their assessment. I called and confirmed the information with MIPD Officers. I took photos of the damage to both vessels. 
  The struck vessel was a 72-foot cabin motorboat called the “V2”. V2 had a blue scuff mark about 1 foot above the water line and the chrome rail around the deck had been bent in. The V1 had gelcoat broken off the starboard side of the dive platform with white paint in the slots of the screws, a broken support bar and scuff marks on the second deck and second deck railing.
  operator stated It was his first time operating this vessel and was taking it from Pensacola, Florida to the docks at Pier 81 in Naples, Florida. He was uncomfortable with the environment as he had never operated a vessel in the area and that’s why he turned around and parked at dock A. He stated he knew he hit the V2 but didn’t think he caused any damage. When asked if he checked for damage, he said he probably should have that morning but didn’t. He said there were no factors causing the accident other than unfamiliarity with the area.
