On July 1, 2023, at around 16:58 hours, I, MCO 1, responded to a possible capsized boat in the no wake zone of Burnside Island State Park ramp. Upon arrival, I made contact with Witness who had witnessed the boat take on water and capsize. Witness stated that the operator of the capsized vessel, along with its passengers, was ok, and he had taken them to the ramp. Witness stated the boat took on water over the bow of the boat from a large wave, at which time the Operator applied more throttle causing the boat to dive deeper into the water and ultimately submerged it completely. Witness went to help retrieve the victims from the water as the boat capsized. Operator, his wife Passenger 1, his daughter Passenger 2, his daughter Passenger 3, and his son Passenger 4, along with a family friend all made it to safety and no injuries were reported. The use of alcohol was not detected and PFD's were not a contributing factor. Marine Assist Tow and Recovery was at the scene and used per request by owner to recover the 1990 Suprasport Canbrio Pleasure Craft motorboat.
