  On 02/04/2015 at approximately 1930 hours a 16ft. single engine white and blue center console vessel with 5 soles on board departed harbor town marina in Dania Beach, Fl.  They traveled to approximately 1/2 nautical miles off shore of Ft. Lauderdale beach just north of Las Olas Blvd.  At the time of the incident the winds were reported to be 9-13 kts and seas conditions were moderate.  The vessel was tied to the mooring buoy while the occupants were recreational fishing.  
  
  At approximately 2030 Hours due to weather conditions worsening they decided to return to port.  The vessel operator proceeded to untie the vessel from the mooring buoy.  The line from the mooring buoy got wrapped around the vessels prop causing the vessels bow to point toward shore and the waves to break over the stern of the vessel causing water to enter the interior of the vessel.  An effort to free the vessel was made to no avail and the on board bilge pumps could not keep up with the water intrusion.
