What the National Weather Service wrote

As the waterspout traveled across Lake Peck, severe wind gusts were measured by a 40-foot, moored, marine vessel, along with the observation of rotating debris. Measured wind gusts at the top of a 55-foot mast reached 65 knots from the south, then quickly shifted to the north as the circulation passed. The wind broke a port hole on the vessel, and damaged canvas on four nearby boats.

The wider storm

A strong cell which produced a tornado within the Loblolly Bay residential community at 0818-0819 EST, crossed into Pecks Lake as a waterspout, before weakening and exiting across the barrier island and into the Atlantic. The waterspout or its outer circulation impacted several boats moored just offshore Loblolly Marina.

Began near Stuart (27.1146, -80.1457).
