Possibly drunk (just guessing) boater damaged several Rainbow Reef boats. The amount of damage was not disclosed.

Why no arrests made? It’s not like the captain disappeared?

From what I gathered, the police trying to get him were on foot, and he went down the canal. I guess, in essence, he did disappear.

From the video by the enthusiastic narrator: "And right here it crashes into this dive boat, docked on the water!"

Are dive boats docked any other place besides on the water?

Dry Stack Berthing - MDL Marinas

Dry Stack is the increasingly popular way to store RIBs and motorboats up to 13 metres. And nobody does it better than MDL, the UK's leading Dry Stack provider. When you don't need your boat, it's stored safely and securely out of the water at one of our superb marinas.

Ok I’ll close the door on my way out …

Mini-season begins early......

Some people keep boats in a boathouse. It’s a garage for a boat.

Sometimes boats are not docked, but moored out in open water.

Thanks for the dry dock references. In this case they can probably be marked as "not worth considering" because a mishandled boat by a drunken skipper is unlikely to make contact with them.

Sorry I was being facetious

That's one reason I don't do mini season in the keys.
Rainbow reef should put a lien on that yacht to cover the damages and when they don't pay up foreclose on it and boom they have a live aboard.
