RedactedNarrative: On July 1, 2021 at approximately 1645 hours officers responded to livery located in reference to a property damage only vessel accident.  Upon arrival I made contact with one of the operators identified as OPERATOR 1 who stated the following.
      OPERATOR 1 stated that she was operating a jet ski with a passenger identified during a guided tour with LIVERY.  OPERATOR 1 stated that she only had a few hours experience operating a jet ski and did not check the weather forecast prior to departing.  OPERATOR 1 stated that she was traveling southbound at approximately 20 MPH when she observed a jet ski which was operated by OPERATOR 2 heading in a north direction right at her.  OPERATOR 1 stated that she turned away from the oncoming jet ski, but the oncoming jet ski turned as well.  Both jet skis turned into each others paths in attempt to avoid a collision.   The collision caused OPERATOR 1 and passenger to fall of the jet ski, however they were helped back on by the guide.  Neither OPERATOR 1 or passenger were injured in this collision.  The jet ski that OPERATOR 1 was operating was a 2021 SEADOO GTX Rotax powered (130 H.P.) ski.  The damage to the jet ski was fiberglass damage and a dent.  LIVERY Watersports estimated that damage to be approximately $1500.00.  
      I spoke to passenger and he only recalls the jet skis colliding and him falling off, he could not provide any additional information.
      I spoke to OPERATOR 2 who stated he was operating a jet ski in a guided tour with LIVERY watersports.  OPERATOR 2 stated that he only had a few hours operating a jet ski, and did not check the weather prior to departing.  OPERATOR 2 stated that he was traveling northbound at approximately 20 MPH when he observed a jet ski traveling southbound right at him.  OPERATOR 2 stated he attempted to turn but the oncoming jet ski turned as well.  Both Jet skis turned into each others paths and this caused the collision.  OPERATOR 2 stated he was able to stay aboard the jet ski after the collision, and was not injured.  OPERATOR 2 was operating a 2021 SEADOO GTX Rotax powered (130 H.P.) ski.  The damage to the jet ski was fiberglass damage and a dent.  LIVERY estimated that damage to be approximately $1500.00.  
      I spoke to GUIDE who stated he did not see the collision.  GUIDE stated he heard the collision and observed OPERATOR 1 and Stewart in the water.  GUIDE stated he assisted both subjects back onto the jet skis, and GUIDE did not observe any injuries to either subject.
      The weather that day was overcast but warm at approximately 85 degrees, the water being approximately 75 degrees.  The wind was out of the south, steady at 10-15mph, with gust into the low 20s and the water was choppy.  The boating traffic that day was moderate. 
      Both OPERATOR 1 and OPERATOR 2 failed to acknowledge each other while on a head on course, and due to operator inexperience neither subject were able to take the proper corrective action.  Both operators share fault in this collision.  Since no one was injured officers provided advice on proper navigational rules in lieu of any charges.  
      It should be noted that all parties involved parents were on location as well, and none of the parents requested any medical treatment for their respective children.
      All above events occurred in Worcester County, Maryland.
