RedactedNarrative: On 6/7/20 a 28ft Vessel Operated lost thrust and began taking on water from the engine compartment. The vessel became partially submerged in the Intracoastal waterway in Delray Beach. All passengers were brought safely to land by a good Samaritan with no injuries. 
  
  Upon arriving on scene, we located a partially submerged vessel and a male in the water with a life jacket on holding onto the vessel. There was also a good Samaritan nearby on a personal watercraft (PWC). 
  
  With the help of the good Samaritan Officer and myself were able to get the operator safely onto our patrol vessel. The operator stated that he and 4 other occupants were on the vessel heading north bound at approximately 20mph when he heard a loud “bang” and the vessel lost thrust, but the engines remained running. 
  
  He stated they opened the engine compartment hatch and noticed there was a large amount of water inside of it. At this time a good Samaritan on a nearby PWC began to offload the passengers and bring them to land as the vessel began to take on more water.
