RedactedNarrative: On 12/31/2022 two vessels collided between 2 and 5 miles offshore out of Jupiter inlet. Both vessels claim to be the struck vessel and the crash was not reported to FWC until 1/13/2023. All information in the report is information received from each party.
  I spoke with reporting party, OP2 via phone, who said that on 12/31/2022 he was involved in a boat accident 5 miles offshore and was struck by a 40ft contender. He said that he did not make the report the day of the crash because he wasn’t sure who to call since he was not in state waters. 
  
  I spoke to OP2, who was the operator of the 27’ Blue Wave, about the incident and attached photos that he sent me of the damage from his vessel.
  
  I spoke to OP1, who was the operator of the 44’ Contender. OP1 stated that he was the struck vessel. He stated that he did not report the crash and had no need to send pictures since his vessel didn’t suffer any damages from the crash.
