Depends. Without knowing the facts... we do not know what laws may have been broken.
Was the operator going too fast? Too fast relative to the shoreline/etc? Was the operator under the influence? Or was the operator just not paying attention -''failing to keep watch''?
A BWI, depending on other factors, would be the most devastating... but even then it might only be a first offense and the operator would live with it.
In the past, accidents that had the loss of life didn't significantly affect the operators, so this accident with no known injuries would mostly fall to the insurance claim; that should have been expected.
