RedactedNarrative: On May 7 2017 I Officer responded to a call of a capsized vessel in Sebastian inlet that had been swept out to sea in the outgoing tide. Two occupants were transported to Sebastian river medical center for observation, when I arrived both subjects were conscious and doing well. 
  
  After collecting statement from them I met the owner/operator of the vessel at the ramp in order to photograph the vessel and any damage, along with collecting a statement. After completing the investigation, I determined that the vessel capsized due to a lack of experience and knowledge both on the vessel and with the strong currents of the inlet.  
  
  they anchored near the bridge with the intent to fish however the current was so strong that the water began to come over the back of the boat and after the passing of other vessels and their wake, the water was too much and the vessel capsized. 
  
  After inspecting the boat I found that all safety gear except the fire extinguisher was onboard (operator informed me that the extinguisher fell out of the boat when it capsized) I did not observe any alcohol on the vessel nor did any of the occupants appear to be impaired in anyway. 
  
  Upon farther inspecting I noticed a rope that was tied to the stern on the port side, when asked the operator informed me that is where he had the anchor tied and that it was cut after the boat capsized. With this information I came to the conclusion that the accident was caused by a lack of knowledge and experience and that it could have been avoided had the vessel been properly anchored.
