RedactedNarrative: On January 02, 2016 a 23' vessel carrying 6 persons on board capsized roughly 10 miles off shore from Fort de Soto. The U.S. Coast Guard was able to rescue the 6 persons, no injuries were sustained. 
  
  Operator explained that the vessel was full throttle when it went dead in the water. The vessel had water coming over the transom and the gunwale and a wave caused the vessel to flip over with the occupants on board. All six of the occupants could swim but there was not enough life jackets for each person. The U.S. Coast Guard reported there were four life-jackets on board. No injuries were sustained.
