RedactedNarrative: I, Officer, received a report of boating accident in the Cumberland Sound. A 62 foot vessel ran into the South Jetties of Fernandina Beach. The vessel was recovered by Tow Boat US and towed to Fernandina Beach City Marina where I made contact with the Captain of the vessel. 
  
  Operator said they were heading North just off the coast of Fernandina Beach traveling at 22 knots. Operator said he noticed on his charts of possible rock jetties ahead but did not think he was close enough to the shore to hit them. Operator said the next thing they know is the vessel suddenly stopped when they struck the rocks which because of high tide were not visible, rocks were just under the surface of the water. The operator said the engines immediately stopped and alarms began going off. Operator said once the vessel hit the rocks the waves moved the vessel off the rocks and out maybe fifty feet from the rocks and that’s when he dropped anchor to avoid the vessel from drifting back into the rocks. He immediately called a state of emergency over the VHF radio. Later I found out the USCG were on routine training in the Cumberland Sound when they heard the call for help. That’s when they arrived on scene and began to assist in any way. Operator told the USCG he was not taking on any water and everyone on board was okay. TowBoat US was called and the vessel was towed to the City Marina in Fernandina Beach
