Matias Messi, 35, told a security guard at a private fishing club he had cut his face after colliding with a sandbank near his home in Argentina.
But he was tracked down by police after prosecutors found blood all over the boat and a firearm on board.
He has been arrested for possession of a firearm. He is awaiting an operation for injuries including broken jaw.
Dramatic pictures revealed in local media show blood smeared all over the front of the motorboat, which was deserted at the fishing club in the town of Fighiera.
The gun was discovered by cops on the bloodied vessel. Blood was also splattered on the deck in the mysterious incident yesterday afternoon.
Messi, who cheated death in a car crash three months ago, is said to have driven himself to a health centre for treatment.
Last year, he was ordered to teach football as part of a probation order after being caught with gun in his Audi A5.
He was also ordered to stay off drugs and drink and pay a fine of around £414.
According to reports, two cops were left slightly injured after Messi was stopped on October 3, 2015.
It was not the first time he had a run-in with the police - in October 2008 he was arrested for allegedly having a loaded gun in his belt.
And in April 2011 he survived an assassination attempt by diving for cover as a gunman on a motorbike sprayed bullets at his house.
Matias is one of Lionel's two brothers - Rodrigo. who is also older than the Barcelona star, and a younger sister called Marisol.
