Mannix told the Herald Sun that the incident occurred when conditions out on the water became rough while they were anchored by the affluent Melbourne suburb of Beaumaris.
He explained that he dived nose first into a step on Sam's vessel, but insisted: 'I wasn't drunk, I just want to clear that up.'
'The doctors say it's not broken, just an impact injury. It was a great day and I just came away a bit banged up,' the rocker added.
