On this date, I was detailed to a Vessel assist located near the Cape May County Coast Guard Beach, Cape May City, Cape May County, NJ. It was reported that a Single vessel lost power and ran aground near the beach. USCG assisted with locating the vehicle and it was located at the Coast Guard Beach.

Operator #1 stated that he was operating the boat near the beach when the vessel suddenly lost power to the engines and the boat ran aground.

Investigation at the scene revealed that V#l was operating in the Atlantic Ocean just south of the Cape May Inlet. V#l lost power to the engines for unknown reasons and the waves began to come over the stern of the vessel. The engines became inoperable and the vessel began to drift until it came to rest on the beach. No injuries were reported at this time. Sea tow responded to the location and removed the vessel.
