RedactedNarrative: A 38’ (vessel 2) vessel heading North and a 31’(vessel 1) vessel heading South were both on the west side of star island. The 31’ foot vessel made a hard turn to starboard colliding with and scratching vessel 2  from bow to stern on its starboard side. Collision was caused by a violation of USCG navigation rule five by vessel 1.
  
  Both vessels collided south of the Mc Arthur Causeway (at approximately N 25 46.4691, W 80 9.2989). Upon conducting an investigation, interviewing the parties involved, and documenting the damage to both vessels, it is determined that operator1 failed to maintain a proper lookout before deciding to turn around on his starboard side to head north, causing the collision. While intervieving operator1 about the accident he stated that he did not see Vessel 2 before making his turn.
