RedactedNarrative: On April 19, 2016 at 1352 hours I was dispatched to a vessel crash at 615 SW Anchorage Way, Stuart; the Sunset Bay Marina. It was relayed via Sheriff’s Office Dispatch that a sailing vessel bearing the name "Blew by you too" had struck two other vessels while attempting to leave his docking area, and left the scene proceeding South towards the Palm City Bridge. 
  
  Upon my arrival I confirmed this information with docking attendants present, and obtained a more detailed description of the suspect vessel. I then proceeded to investigate the South Fork of the Saint Lucie River in search of the vessel, which I intercepted approximately two hundred yards south of the Indian Street Bridge, Palm City. I conducted a traffic stop on the vessel, bearing the name "Blew by you too", utilizing a prominently marked Martin County Sheriff’s Office Patrol Vessel equipped with flashing blue lights. 
  
  The vessel operator states that he had been informed via VHF radio that there was damage to property resulting from his incident, and that he was returning to Sunset Bay to meet with all parties. As Operator1's vessel was traveling in a return direction when I encountered him, I escorted his vessel back to the Marina and began my investigation into this incident. 
  
  Operator1 stated that he recently purchased his vessel in Fort Pierce, and had been staying at Sunset Bay Marina in the interim. On this date he was preparing to leave his assigned dock area (A29), when his throttle began to rapidly accelerate causing him to lose control of his vessel, striking V2 occupying docking slip A30 and V3 occupying docking slip A31. Operator1 stated that he left the scene as he did not believe that he had caused any damage when striking either vessel. Operator1 further stated that he could not be sure if the throttle was faulty, or if it was his own unfamiliarity with his newly purchased vessel. 
  
  I spoke with Subject1, who was aboard her vessel (V2) at time of this incident. Van Subject1 stated that she observed Operator1's vessel travelling too fast while attempting to exit his slip, striking her vessel prior to exiting the marina, Spoke with an independent witness to the incident who was noted to have a clear and unobstructed view of Operator1's actions from her docked vessel directly across from the incident. Her version of events were noted to be consistent with Subject1's account. 
  
  I observed damages to Subject1's vessel consisting of a bent rail section and cracked decking. I observed damages to V3's vessel consisting of several damaged solar panels, a broken green Bimini top, a shorted solar panel control system and various electrical wiring. The observed damages were consistent with all parties version of events, and were documented by photographs taken on scene by Operator1 as well as the victims in this incident. 
  
  I issued Operator1 Florida Uniform Boating Citation number V390142 for a violation of Florida State Statute 327.33(2), Careless Driving. I advised Operator1 that I would not pursue criminal charges relating to a violation of Florida State Statute 327.30(5), leaving the scene of an accident, and the specified requirements therein; as once apprised of the damages via VHF radio Operator1 did appear to attempt to return to the scene as evidenced by his vessels direction of travel once intercepted. 
  
  All parties were provided with case numbers and contact information for documentation and insurance purposes. I ensured Operator1 was able to properly and safely control his vessel prior to departing the scene. No injuries to any party were sustained or observed, and no evidence of alcohol or other intoxicating substance were noted to be present or contributory in this incident. No further information to report at this time.
