RedactedNarrative: V1 and V2 were engaged in recreational cruising in the Caloosahatchee River eastbound towards the Cape Coral Bridge when a collision between the two vessels occurred near the Cape Coral Yacht Club and Red Fish Point. 
  
  V1 was on plane following directly behind V2 at approximately 80 feet. V1 adjusted its course to its port side in attempt to pass V2. While V1 was maneuvering outside of V2’s wake to pass, V2 began to come off throttle. V1 continued its course of attempting to overtake V2’s port side when it got caught in a wake causing V1 to turn starboard and strike V2 in the port rear quarter of the vessel. V1 ramped onto V2’s portside at approximate 45 degree angle causing damage to V2’s port side gunnel, Bimini and windshield. V1 sustained damage to its starboard side hull. 
  
  No major injuries were sustained during this accident. Both operators and occupants were seen by EMS and refused medical transport and treatment. 
  
  Excessive speed, operator inattention, and not having a proper look out were the contributing factors of this accident.
