A 26-foot boat went up and over a rock jetty and onto a Mastic Beach peninsula Thursday night, hit a house a few dozen feet from the water and finally came to rest on the home's patio, according to police and photographs.
Photographs of the crash, which occurred at approximately 9:30 p.m., show the Violet Road home did not appear to have been significantly damaged. Suffolk police said no one was injured.
The home is located off Sheepen Creek.
The 17-year-old operator of the boat, a Mastic Beach resident whose identity was withheld because he is a minor, was issued multiple summons and arrested on an unrelated warrant, the police said.
