RedactedNarrative: A recreational fishing vessel launched out of the public ramp at the Mexico Beach Canal with 5 people on board. While fishing approximately 7 miles out near MB55 marker, the vessel took a rogue wave from the stern of the vessel causing swamping and a list to the port side. The vessel was in gear but at idle speed to maintain direction when the incident occurred. The captain ordered the passenger's to the starboard side to compensate for the listing. At the same time the passenger's moved to starboard a second wave came over the stern completely swamping the vessel with water. All the water in the deck of the vessel went to port side and caused the vessel to immediately roll and capsize to the port side. 
  
   The vessel had floatation and remained capsized on the water’s surface. All people on board agreed that there was no time to retrieve PFD's from the storage bin resulting in all person's going into the water with no PFD. The captain was sitting on the foot of the outboard was able to climb onto the hull. The remaining occupants were floating and holding onto the vessel. 
  
    Subject was able to take his shirt off, waive the shirt and yell to signal a nearby vessel at approximately 1500 feet for assistance. The nearby vessel heard him yelling and saw him waiving the shirt. He could tell that the vessel had capsized and went to them. He recovered all people from the water and determined that there was no injuries. He called Boat US for assistance. Time in the water for all occupants was 30-45 minutes. 
  
  The vessel was located and due to weather changes, was brought to the Port St. Joe city boat ramp. The vessel owner and other occupants moved to the St. Joe ramp as well.
