RedactedNarrative: On April 8, 2017 at approximately 1740 hours I, Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) Officer was dispatched to a delayed reporting of a Boating Accident at Rickenbacker Marina in Miami-Dade County, Florida. I arrived to the scene at approximately 1755 hours, and made contact with Rickenbacker Marina staff. I was advised that the marina's video surveillance system had captured a resident vessel collide with multiple docked vessels while attempting to dock. Rickenbacker Marina was forthcoming in providing access to the video recordings as well as vessel owner contact information.
  
  Based on video recording evidence, the striking vessel is identified as "Otra Vez"(V1-DL8217AJ) a 43 foot Cranchi Yacht occupied by 2 male subjects. V1 is seen entering the dockage area of the marina, striking docked vessel "Genesis II"(V2-FL8204MT), then striking docked vessel "Forever Bacan"(V3-FL7296NZ). V1 is then seen making way astern (in reverse) and striking docked vessel "Maldad"(V4-DO1221017). V1 then continues to enter the marina dockage area, passing V1's designated slip,and turns around at the "dead end", and proceeds back to its designated slip. In attempting to enter the dock slip in reverse, V1 strikes docked vessel "Zeus"(V5-FL5201RE) before completely entering the designated dock slip and securing the vessel. The entire incident was captured (video and audio recording) by multiple camera angles, to include the two occupants of V1 assessing damages to V1's starboard side, and exiting the secured area of Rickenbacker Marina. Rickenbacker Marina staff reported the boating accident at approximately 1735 hours over marine radio VHF CH 16.
  
  Marina staff could confirm that neither of the subjects on V1 were the owner of V1. Marina staff provided me with a scan of the License of the suspected operator of V1 which was obtained by the marina staff when an "unauthorized/new user" registers to use a resident vessel at Rickenbacker Marina. 
  
   I was able to obtain contact information for Operator1, and arranged a meeting for a sworn statement after Miroperator1 Rights on May 2, 2017 at 1700 hours at Rickenbacker Marina. Operator1 stated that because he was focused on taking a wide angle to approach V1's dock slip, he struck the bow-sprit of V2, became entangled with V1, causing him to strike V3. He then stated he put V1 in reverse to disengage, and struck V4 with V1's stern. Operator1 stated he then continued down the marina to "try to notify marina staff", before returning to V1's designated dock slip. Operator1 advised that he was unaware that he struck V5 upon attempting to enter V1's dock slip in reverse. Operator1 also advised that he has approximately 12 years of experience operating vessels in the 40 foot range, and holds an expired Ecuador Captain's License. Operator1 was issued a Uniform Boating Citation(UBC) for Careless Operation of a Vessel (Infraction) pursuant to Florida Statute(F.S.) 327.33(2) / Code of Federal Regulations(CFR) 33 USC 2001 Inland Rules, and a UBC for Leaving the Scene of an Accident Without Notifying Law Enforcement (Misdemeanor) pursuant to F.S. 327.30(5).
  
  Upon inspection of all vessels involved, vessel damages can be described as follows:
  
  V1 - V1 has dents in the metal rub rail on the starboard side forward of midships, approximately 4-5 feet above the waterline (damage photographed), bent starboard bow rail stanchions at midships and forward of midships, approximately 7-8 feet above the water line (damage photographed), a disconnected cross member of the bow rail at the bow pulpit above the anchor (damage photographed), and gelcoat cracking damage and "sea foam paint" transfer on the port side of the swim platform, above the waterline.
  
  V2 - V2 is a sailing vessel of predominantly wood construction. V2 has damage to the forward end of the bow sprit, approximately 7-8 feet above the waterline (damag
