RedactedNarrative: On 4/22/17 at approximately 1045 hours, a vessel bearing Florida registration FL5591DS was traveling eastbound through the Lake Worth Inlet when it encountered large waves measuring approximately 6 feet tall. The operator of the vessel attempted to change direction at the first green buoy outside of the inlet. During the course change towards the port side, the single outboard motor on the vessel failed and left the vessel adrift. As the bow of the vessel drifted west, the vessel began taking large waves over the stern and began to capsize. The two passengers donned Type 2 life jackets and entered the water before the vessel became completely submerged and rolled over in the wake. A passing recreational vessel was able to recover one of the passengers safely and the other passenger (the operator) was safely recovered by the United States Coast Guard. The vessel was towed by SeaTow to Jim Barry boat ramp where it was recovered. Vessel damage is estimated at approximately $5,000.
  
  Operator of the vessel obtained a minor abrasion on his right knee while being pulled aboard during rescue.
