  	On Wednesday, December 7, 2022, Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) responded to a call at approximately 1700 hours with another officer regarding a boating accident where a  vessel struck another unoccupied vessel at dock on December 7, 2022, at approximately 1300 hours. 
  	I arrived on scene at 1800 hours and made contact with the homeowners where the vessel crash occurred, I located a 2020 76 foot Ferretti yacht (V2) and began to photograph the vessel damage. V2 was unoccupied and moored at the dock when it was struck.  I asked who the owner was and they informed me the vessel was managed OWNER 2. Upon inspection I found that the rub rail was damaged on the port side of the vessel along with transfer marks from the impact with the dock. As I inspected V2, I found more damage including paint chips, cracked fiberglasss, and broken bow rails. Also the vessel had an indentation where the fiberglass had been compressed and crushed on the bows starboard side. While waiting for OWNER 2 to arrive on scene I made contact with the captain (op1) of the striking vessel which was a 2020, 40 meter Sunseeker yacht (V1). I then began interviewing OP1 and he explained that while he was attempting to leave the marina. OP1 stated he lost responsiveness from the throttle and the vessel would not come out of forward thus causing him to strike the docked vessel head on. Upon inspection of OP1's vessel there was a large scrape and gel coat damage to the starboard side of the keel.
  	Based off of the statement gathered from OP1 the vessel had a mechanical malfunction causing a loss of steering and the ability to shift. OP1 also stated V1's electronics had displayed an error code as a result of the malfunction. OP1 then stated that the damage to his vessel was more than $5,000. I also spoke to OWNER 2 and he believes the damage to V2 to be estimated at $55,000. At this time I did not find any violations and no charges were filed. No persons were injured due to the vessel crash.
