RedactedNarrative: What: Boat Capsize
  When: 09/07/2015 at approximately 1510 hours
  
  	On the above date and time I, Officer with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) was pulling up to Freddie Patrick Park Boat Ramp by boat when I saw emergency response vehicle pulling up to the boat ramp at the same time.  I asked the Brevard County fire fighters what call they were working and they responded that they had a boating accident with three swimmers in the water.  I radioed dispatch to ask them for information on the accident.  Dispatch had no knowledge of the accident.  Approximately 60 seconds after I arrived at the boat ramp Brevard County Sheriff’s Office Ag. Unit Deputy (See their offense 2015-00416444) pulled up in his boat with all three victims aboard.  The medical staff confirmed that none of the three victims had any injuries.  
  
  	Once the victims were at the boat ramp, I interviewed them about what happened and how many people were on the boat.  The victims identified themselves by their Florida driver licenses.  
  
  	Based off of both statements and the interview that I had with the occupants, the boat was at anchor in the Atlantic Ocean close to the end of the south jetty on Port Canaveral.  The boat had only been anchored there for less than 10 minutes and the occupants had just started fishing when the waves started to come over the side of the boat.  Operator tried to start the boat and turn the bilge pump on.  The bilge pump would not turn on and the motor would not start.  Within a matter of seconds the boat capsized and all three occupants were forced to swim.  None of the occupants were able to put life jackets on. All three individuals stated that they attempted to climb up and hang onto the hull of the vessel.   Subject stated that he was in the water for approximately 10 to 15 minutes before the Sheriff’s Deputy pulled them out of the water.  
  
  	Subject2 stated that the value of the fishing and boating equipment in the boat was approximately $1200.  Operator stated that the boat was worth approximately $2300.  
  
  	FWC Lt. and his crew was able to tow the boat, still capsized, to Freddie Patrick Boat Ramp.  The boat had a displayed Massachusetts registration number of MS8062BD.  The GPS position of the boat when it was recovered by Lt. was N 28 24.4248, W 80 35.1173.  
  
  	I was notified  later that day that the boat was fully recovered from the water.
  	No charges were filed.  
  
  	End of report.
