RedactedNarrative: Vessel was underway heading south in the intracoastal and hit marker 54; damage was sustained on starboard side of vessel.  
  The operator of the vessel stated she had looked away momentarily when handing a hat to another occupant on the vessel.  When she turned back, she pulled off throttle as they were about to hit the channel marker. There was uncertainty as to the exact location of Occupant 1 when the vessel made impact with marker, whether she was sitting next to operator or near stern of vessel; she was ejected toward stern of vessel.   Damage was sustained from the forward starboard side of the vessel to just beyond midship towards the stern.  The vessel was still operable and was driven back to the dock.   
  
  I advised the Operator if anyone found they had sustained further injuries, to make me aware.   She called me on July 3, 2018 to advise me that she and Occupant 2 had gone to the hospital for further evaluation.  The Operator had a fractured rib on her right side and a minor collapsed lung.  Occupant 2 sustained a fractured clavicle.
