Vessel outbound from Miami River with POB gets swampd by another vessel's wake and capsized. 
At 1700 hrs on May 28, 2023, we were dispatched to a vessel taking on water at the mouth of the Miami River. I arrived 3 minutes after and found the vessel capsized with 9 occupants on and around the capsized vessel. We immediately approached and helped all individuals onto our patrol vessel. All individuals were uninjured. The operator of the vessel was identified as OP1. 
OP1, advised me that as they were navigating at around 6 mph due west by the mouth of the Miami River, the wake of a larger vessel headed the opposite direction caused their vessel to swamp and rapidly capsize. All occupants were able to stay on or near the vessel until law enforcement arrived. 
The vessel was later identified by the bill of sale as a 2023 17' BRP. After OP1 provided a written statement of the accident, he made arrangements with a tow company to right, dewater and tow the vessel to 79th st boat ramp. After helping the occupants recover their belongings that were still floating around the area, we dropped them off safely at Bayside.
