Agreed this may be the only thing they can prove. Maybe they expect to pressure this guy to testify against the Sea Ray captain?

Classic law enforcement technique: charge the lowest-level perpetrator on the criminal ladder, and in exchange for a deal-- say probation or dropped charges, they agree to testify against the higher-up perps, in this case, the captain of the boat who this witness (now defendant) can now identify. This works so long as the lower-level defendant is not bought off, by, and/or is wiling to take a the hit for, the target defendant.
