RedactedNarrative: Operator #1 stated in effect: I was going to bring the jet ski in when I accidentally hit the throttle and
  struck the other jet ski.
  
  Owner of Vessel #2 stated in effect: I was on the beach and my jet ski was anchored off shore. The other jet ski drove right into it.
  
  Investigation at scene revealed: Both vessels were in the Raritan Bay, Middletown Twp., Monmouth
  County. Vessel 2 was anchored off the shoreline and Vessel 1 was traveling west towards the shoreline.
  Due to operator inexperience, Operator #1 was unable to maintain directional control of Vessel #1 and
  subsequently struck Vessel #2 in the bow. Vessel #1 impacted Vessel #2 with their bow. There were no
  injuries observed or reported on scene.
  
  The operator of Vessel #1 did not possess a boater safety certificate.
  
  My investigation of this accident is based on statements from the owner and operator. Operator #1 was
  not versed in the operation of a personal watercraft and therefore not able to control the vessel in a safe
  manner. Operator #1 failed to properly maintain control of Vessel #1.
