RedactedNarrative: On Wednesday, August 31, 2017 at approximately 4:46 PM Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) dispatch received a complaint in reference to a boating accident with no injury in the vicinity of the Haulover Inlet. According to the reporting party, a Personal Watercraft (PWC) impacted a 29' Sea Vee and both vessels remained on scene. The operator of the 29' Sea Vee requested assistance from FWC. 
  
  I arrived on scene at 5:17 PM and I observed a 29' Sea Vee mooring to the Haulover boat ramp. After conducting interviews to both operators, it was clear that the operator of the PWC acted carelessly while getting too close to the larger vessel and attempting to jump its wake at high speed. The impact occurred on the starboard side of the 29' Sea Vee which was navigating on a northbound course towards the Haulover boat ramp. The operator of the 29' Sea Vee attempted to take evasive action by moving forward and away from the PWC. The PWC operator never saw the larger vessel and impacted its starboard side at the transom. 
  
  The operator of the PWC had a passenger onboard with him. 
  
  The operator of the 29' Sea Vee was identified and had one passenger.
  
  The operator of the PWC was cited for violation of Florida Statue F.S. 327.39 (4) which specifically stipulates that a personal watercraft must at all times be operated in a reasonable and prudent manner. Maneuvers which unreasonably or unnecessarily endanger life, limb, or property, including, but not limited to, weaving through congested vessel traffic, jumping the wake of another vessel unreasonably or unnecessarily close to such other vessel or when visibility around such other vessel is obstructed, and swerving at the last possible moment to avoid collision shall constitute reckless operation of a vessel, as provided in s. 327.33 (1). Any person operating a personal watercraft must comply with the provisions of s. 327.33.
