RedactedNarrative: On 3/5/16 at approximately 1300 hours, I responded to the Sands Harbor fuel docks in the City of Pompano Beach in reference to a boating accident. Upon arrival I learned that the minor boating accident had actually occurred at the Docks of Houston's Restaurant located at 2821 E. Atlantic Blvd in the City of Pompano Beach. 
  
  I first met with Vessel #1 operator who advised of the following. Operator1 stated that he was waiting for Vessel #2 to back out of the restaurant so that he could dock. Operator1 stated that he had his vessel in neutral when the much larger Vessel #2 backed into his rear starboard side with its dive platform causing damage to his vessel. 
  
  I then spoke with V#2 operator, who stated that V#1 had Crashed into him. Operator2 stated that he was attempting to back his 70 foot vessel off the docks at Houston's when V#1 interfered. Operator2 explained that V#1 powered in way too close and then panicked when he got caught in the current which pushed him even closer. Operator2 stated that V#1 then abruptly powered forward rather than backwards causing him to side swipe his large dive platform. 
  
  Lastly I met with three independent witnesses at Houston's and Dock Master who all stated that V#1 was clearly at fault. All three witnesses stated that V#1 was impatient and out of control as he crowded the much larger boat while he was trying to back out of the dock. They stated that V#1 pulled right in the path of V#2 and then pulled forward clipping V#2's dive platform. Note that there were no injuries and only minor damage to vessel #1. No citations were issued however, V#1 was found to be at fault. Both parties were issued case cards, NFl
