Vessel 1 was in approach to the Fort McRae side of Pensacola Pass, edge of Gulf of Mexico heading north, nearest marker G 11. Vessel 1 turned South toward the Gulf of Mexico, at the shoreline, taking a wave over the bow, causing the vessel to capsize and overturn.  3 occupants departed the vessel and we're able to walk to shore with no injuries.

Upon arrival we discovered the capsized vessel just off the shoreline of Fort McRae on the West side of the Pensacola Pass.  The vessel was a 2007 21ft. Sea-Pro Reg.  We located the operator and registered owner of the vessel along with 2 other occupants.  After ensuring there were not any injuries we asked operator to describe how his vessel capsized.  He stated that as he was letting his wife out on the beach, a  wave swamped the vessel and pushed his vessel towards the beach. The family attempted to push the vessel back into the water but failed because of successive waves that kept pushing the vessel towards the beach and ultimately capsized the vessel.
