RedactedNarrative: On April 24th, 2019 at approx. 1700 hours, I, Officer of the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) responded to a call about an overturned vessel near the Sebastian Inlet. I was advised by dispatch that everyone on board swam to shore and there were no injuries. I arrived on scene around 1800 hours. Already on scene were Sebastian Inlet Park Patrol and the fire department. The vessel overturned approx. a half mile south of the inlet on the beach side around 1630 hours. I made contact with the owner/operator of the vessel, who had collected a few items that washed up on shore from his overturned vessel. When I arrived on the beach, Sea Tow was in the process of towing his vessel back to Christianson’s Landing boat ramp where his vehicle and trailer were located. 
  I gave him a ride from Sebastian Inlet to Christianson’s Landing where Sea Tow brought his vessel. Once his vessel was loaded onto the trailer I interviewed him and his statements consisted of: (paraphrased)
  ·	I launched the boat around 1430 hours
  ·	I’ve gone out the inlet 100 times, I grew up in the area
  ·	I was fishing and was heading north towards the inlet, parallel with the beach
  ·	I was going about 10-20 mph
  ·	It was extremely calm, and I was in between two breaks off the beach, about 200-300 yards off the beach
  ·	A wave caught me off guard and the wave broke to the right of me and I got stuck in the white wash and was unable to steer out of it
  ·	The boat started to roll I just held onto the steering wheel, then me and the entire vessel rolled over into the water
  ·	At that time, I was stuck under the boat, but I swam out and swam to shore
  ·	When sea tow came, they pulled the vessel off the beach and ripped off the pulling platform.
