RedactedNarrative: On July 3, 2015 at approximately 5:00 PM Lieutenant, of the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission were on patrol around Crab Island, Destin Florida when we received information of a hit and run boating accident Northeast of Crab Island. 
  
  At approximately 5:10PM we located the pontoon vessel, registered as FL8972PL, which had been struck by another vessel approximately one mile Northeast of Crab Island (N 30 23 38.15, W 86 31 0.82). The pontoon vessel had 6 subjects on board (5 adults and a 5 year old child). The subjects on the vessel stated that they were cruising South at approximately 15 miles per hour when the motor and transom of their vessel was struck. Upon arrival the transom of the pontoon vessel was bent and the cowling of the motor was cracked and damaged. They described the striking vessel as a blue and white jet ski and were unable to read the registration numbers. They also stated that after the Jet Ski stuck their vessel it left heading South towards the Destin Harbor. (See witness statement) The operator of the pontoon vessel at the time of the accident stated his vessel would not start and the fuel lines in the motor had been damaged and broke. 
  
  After speaking with operator and the other subjects on the pontoon vessel we searched the area for the striking vessel. We were unable to locate any Jet Skis in the area that matched the description with damage. I contacted several Jet Ski rentals in the Destin Harbor and they stated they had not had any Jet Skis with damage come in. Owner of the pontoon vessel, was on the vessel when it was struck and he also contacted several Jet Ski rental companies in the Destin Harbor and was unable to locate the damaged Jet Ski. 
  
  As of July 10, 2015 I have been unable to locate the striking vessel.
