RedactedNarrative: 40 ft. open motor vessel (V1) runs over an anchored 17 ft. RHIB (V2). No injuries. Operator of V1 cited for improper lookout resulting in accident. 
  
  On 11/12/2016, at approximately 1815 hrs, FWC dispatch advised of a delayed vessel accident, with the parties involved waiting at Crandon Park boat ramp. After confirming that there were no reported injuries, I responded to Crandon Park boat ramp where I was able to make contact with the owners and occupants of the two vessels that were involved. Vessel 1 was identified as a 40 ft. Sea Hunter open motor vessel bearing Federal Documentation #1257150. Vessel 2 was identified as a 17 ft. rigid hull inflatable bearing registration #FL 0324 LD
  
  	After gathering witness statements and documenting the damage to both vessels, it was determined that the 40 ft. Sea Hunter was coming up onto a plane in the [approximate] area 3-4 miles northwest of Fowey Lighthouse on a westbound course. While coming up onto a plane, Operator1 failed to observe the 17 ft. rigid hull inflatable that was anchored with 2 occupants aboard. The 17 ft. rigid hull inflatable was struck on the port side bow and run over (see vessel photographs/paint transfer), with the occupants jumping into the water moments before the vessel was struck. 
  
  	It is determined that the accident was caused by Operator1 failing to keep a sharp lookout while bringing his vessel onto a plane and failing to account for the bow rise (reduction in forward visibility) that occurs while bringing his vessel up to speed. Operator1 was cited for violation of navigation rules resulting in an accident (failure to keep a sharp lookout/ nav rule 5) F.S. 327.33(3). Both parties were provided case information prior to departing the scene.
