RedactedNarrative: Vessel 1 was adrift in Skipper Bay with high winds and 2' to 6' swells.  OPERATOR stated that he was trying to start the motor but it would not start.  Vessel 1 was carried into the North Jetty at Utah Lake State Park where it grounded itself on the rock barrier that protects the jetty.  When I arrive on scene everyone was off of vessel 1, and the vessel was being smashed against the rock with every wave.  I do not know if PFD's were being worn at the time.  There were several people trying to hold onto Vessel 1, and protect it from damage.  I immediately yelled to everyone to get away from Vessel 1.  I expressed that at this point everyone was safe, and it was not worth risking injury or death to try and save Vessel 1.  My instructions were repeated by a bystander in Spanish.  I told the group I was going to get longer ropes to try and secure Vessel 1.
  
  I returned to the visitor center and picked up a large section of rope.  When I returned there was another person on Vessel 1.  I told them to get off, and if I saw anyone else go aboard I would cite them for failing to obey the lawful command of an officer.  With the rope I fashioned a loop and was able to lasso the throttle control.  Several individuals then grabbed hold of the rope to keep Vessel 1 from sinking.  I had the Coast Guard Auxiliary crew in their boat get as close as they could to try and tow Vessel 1 back into the marina.  Once in the marina, information was gathered, and Vessel 1 was loaded onto a trailer.  It was found that there was no proof of insurance for Vessel 1 and OPERATOR was cited for that.  RANGER assisted in gathering information from the occupants that were on Vessel 1.  It is unknown the actual number of occupants as when we arrived a lot of people left.  Of those that stayed, most did not claim to have any identification other then work visas that they did not have on them.  While speaking with OPERATOR an odor of an alcoholic beverage could be smelled coming from his breath.  When questioned OPERATOR stated he had 3 beers.  Because we could not place him as the operator or what he had done after getting ashore, we did not pursue BUI charges.  We did have him blow in a PBT to make sure he was safe to back the boat trailer.  He blew below the legal limit. OPERATOR said he had borrowed Vessel 1 from his father.  No proof of insurance was provided so OPERATOR was cited for the violation.
  
  I have pictures on file at the State Park.
