  On May 1, 2022, I Florida Fish and Wildlife (FWC) Officers were conducting water patrol in an unmarked patrol vessel, on Lake Elouise of the Winter Haven Chain of Lakes. At approximately 2:00 PM a vessel approached Officer and I and notified us of two reckless personal watercrafts (PWC) operating in the canal between Lake Summit and Lake Elouise, the complainant stated that there was a possible boating accident between the PWCs and another vessel. 
  
  At this time, I observed a black and orange PWC exit the canal at a high rate of speed. Officer1 and I activated the emergency blue lights on the patrol vessel and began following the PWC, the vessel was traveling at a high rate of speed when the operator turned causing operator to be thrown into the water. 
  
  As Officer1 and I approached the operator, I announced myself at State Law Enforcement, a black and blue PWC pulled alongside the patrol vessel the operator. I ran the registration numbers on both PWCs (FL4749SW), (FL9083TA) both vessels were registered to an Adventsure Inc. 676 Cresting Oak Cir Orlando, FL, 32824. 
  
  The operators of the vessels claimed to be from overseas and spoke broken English, Officer1 asked for their passports and where they put in at. Officer1 asked if they had rented the PWC and the operators said yes and pointed in the direction of Lake Summit boat ramp. Officer1 asked for the paperwork for the rental, the operators were unable to produce any paperwork. Officer1 then instructed the operators to travel back to the boat ramp on Lake Summit slowly, while following both vessels I observed the two PWCs strike each other multiple times at a slow  rate of speed. The operators did not appear to have control over their vessels or an understanding of how a PWC steers/maneuvers.
  
  While following behind the two PWCs with the emergency lights on, a vessel (FL6710TD) with five female occupants approached Officer1 and I stating that while coming through the canal between Lake Summit and Lake Elouise, they were struck at the rear of their vessel by one of the PWCs. I observed a fresh gouge in the side of the vessel approximately two thirds of the way down with raw fiberglass sticking out. The operator stated the PWCs crashed in the canal into one another thus creating a large wake causing her vessel to collide with the metal sea wall. She also mentioned that the PWC intentionally sprayed water on her vessel twice in Lake Summit.
  
  Officer1 and I followed the PWCs through the canal into Lake Summit where both vessels were beached, I observed a male wearing a white shirt with a whistle around his neck run out to the PWCs as the operators were getting off, the male then removed the key from the vessels. When I asked if he was the one who rented these the male in the white shirt pointed to a man wearing a large tan hat.
  
  While trying to determine Operator3’s identity he stated, “We pay one or two hour” and asked “you pay for me one hour more”. I asked Subject1 how much he was charging to rent the jet skis, and he stated, “we are all just friends here” Subject1 also stated “I don’t know them that well”
  
  Operator3 told me he found the PWC rental on the internet. Officer1 obtained a sworn written statement from Operator3 confirming the rental for the amount of two hundred dollars.
  
  I observed Officer1 read Subject1 Miranda and ask him questions about renting the PWCs.
  I asked Subject1 for a telephone number to document in the citations. 
  
  I issued Subject1 three misdemeanor Uniform Boating Citations: (V6
