Two vessel allision. No injuries sustained to operators or passengers with damage approximated at over $2000.
I spoke to the captain of V2. OP2 stated that he was on board his vessel but not underway (docked at west slip within Sailfish Marina). He heard a sound and observed V1 at her bow with V1 "t-top" caught in the anchor.    
I asked OP2 to show me the damage on the vessel. He took me to the bow and showed an approximate 3 to 4 inch scrape, with what appeared to be white paint transfer just below the anchor (see photos).
OP2 and PBSO Deptuy showed me V1 which was docked next to V2. There were apparant scratches in the fishing rod holders and a deep gouge along the "t-top" (see photos).
I interviewed the operator of V1. He admitted he was the operator of V1 at the time of the incident. OP1 stated he was entering the marina from the south when another vessel was exiting the marina. A combination of tidal current and wind pushed the vessel he was operating into the bow of V2. He was unable to avoid the collision due to being caught between the vessel exiting the marina and docked V2. As a result, the "t-top" of V1 scraped the anchor of V2 causing the damage described above.
