Looks to me like he tried to turn around when he realized he wouldn’t fit. Probably should’ve checked that first and it’s not too hard. Most chartplotters have that information built in. So besides that he should’ve backed down HARD and straight instead of trying to turn around (assuming he was doing that. I can’t come up with any other explanation as to how he got sideways to the current). Once he was sideways, it was too late nothing can get you out of that with the current ripping like that. Edit. Since there are so many couch captains out here I have to add, since we didn’t see the minutes leading up to this nor were any of us on the boat, anything said here is at best speculation.
@@AC-kp8sp Was too busy looking up captain's pronoun preference in the "Pronoun Preference Guide Book to Safe and Inclusive Interactions". That takes time, man.

As someone without a boat, your subtitles is how I learned slow speed causes stuffings, thanks for that. Please continue to drop random pointers a little at a time.
These people won't last 15 minutes in UK waters specially in Cornwall or Scottish waters. These dudes aren't Skippers at all. Just rich punks with boats
The mystery boat seems like a Frankenstein project. (i also know nothing at all about boats lmao) You know how there’s always “that one guy” in your neighborhood who has some sort of Frankenstein vehicle in their yard/garage where he’s pieced together like 3 different cars from the 80s? And it’s totally his baby and he’s been known for it for like 15 years? Yeah, that’s what mystery boat reminds me of.
Keys to avoid stuffing in big swells on small boat: 1. Trim bow up as much a possible while maintaining sufficient control 2. Don't go head on, apply as much approach angle as possible 3. Gage speed according to wave. You’ll stay dry
The Formula 400 captain almost had it just right. The first few waves, he was going a little too fast, which caused him to come down a wave too quickly. He slowed down after he stuffed it that first time. After that, that is how you drive one of those size boats. You go slow, with the bow high, and accelerate just enough to keep the tip of the bow over the top of the crest. Going any faster causes the bow to come down too quickly between waves and causes a stuff.
I think your drone footage is a prefect complement to the inshore footage, and both show how inept some of these skippers are at driving a boat in a swell.
I'm not a boat guy, but at the same love the beauty and styling of some boats. My number 1 boat to own if I were ever wealthy enough would hands down not a second thought be a midnight express!
Mystery boat looks like 1 of the corvettes but I couldn't see TBE back to see if it had the round lights like a corvette but it also looks like an early 90s Baja.
That CAPT will be renting jet skis to tourist next week. He knew what his air draft was and tried to cheat it. Yeah, insurance will cover the 2+million in loss ... but that thing will never be the same.
I had a Taylor Made jet boat that looked a lot like it, mine was smaller overall. But same winshield gunnell. Circa 1975. The red one was bigger overall.
The drone shots are great, gives you a great perspective on how the waves are breaking and what the boat is having to cut through. But you better be ready to fuzz out wardrobe malfunctions! :D .. EDIT: Outstanding stuffing view! keep the drone!
In France when you pass the permit for high seas you always have in the exam a calculation of tides at a certain harbour at a certain time , the captain did not plan correctly or the owner changed the program of the cruise and this situation occured .
We have the same here in the US, this guy forgot how to utilize his tides and currents book after he passed the test. I wouldn't call him a captain, much less a Master of the vessel. A Novice large vessel operator.
All he had to do was go astern, to try a turn in a confined space with a strong current wasn't clever. He's also throttle happy. The fuller clip makes the situation clearer.
32 ft Proline walk around/cabin - trim the bow up and plow ahead at 16 knots; take the waves at a 30 degree angle as appropriate; cut the speed when the crest of the water is about the touch the high bowsprit as necessary. Following seas are preferred, lol
If anyone’s in the market for a used boat in south Florida, I’d watch this channel and see if the one you’re looking at buying makes any appearances. Will tell you how well it was cared for.
Is it just me or does anyone else who has a boat just like to go out to unwind and have a calm relaxing day out on the water? There is no way I would consider venturing out on some of those boats on an inland lake with waves half that size let alone going out in to the ocean. If I had to practically risk my life just to get out of the inlet to go boating, I would turn around and call it a day. To each their own. Yeah, that captain will be looking for a new 'command' after that bone headed stunt.
Drone shots are amazing! What brand drone are you using. Awesome clarity. Enjoy your content. Although you only document what people do! But it's great to watch.
I bet you that's an owner operator, or the paid professional captain had a day off. A pro would not risk his job/career/yacht on going that route at that time, he would know the tide/current/height of his vessel.
Captain yelling into microphone at the time of crash: "All reverse!!!!!!!!! Bring her about!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Look sharp to port, STEADY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Captain speaking into another kind of microphone a few days after crash: "Would you like fries with that?"
What most of these people don't understand.... speed is your friend. Just like on a motorcycle or mt. bike. You can launch off one wave and land on the backside of another, rinse and repeat. It's not that difficult. You just have to constantly work the throttle.
A good captain is always planning ahead, you learn to read the conditions and the waves too. As for crashing the boat, it’s a sign of inexperience as it were. You must allow for the weather conditions to change, in an instant it can go wrong. Keep focused on what you are doing and don’t get distracted by others around you. By all means have fun but the sea can be a dangerous place too,show it some respect.
It’s surprised at how lenient the drone regulations are in the US, in the UK you can’t come 50 meters of manned vessels, here you’re right on top of them.
It’s the same with corporate jets, they spend the money on the jet, hired some dumb pilots, and eventually die in an accident. Less money on the boat and the jet., more money on the people that keep you safe….. no-brainer.
Captain's error. In my 200-ton class, we were tested on the height of tides and current speed. The captain should have known the height of his vessel as it related to the height of any structure prior to him approaching it.
He forgot how to utilize his tides and currents book after he passed his test. We get numerous guys like this in the oil fields from Florida. Give me a mate from Louisiana or Texas any day.
It'll never cease to amaze me the sheer amount of idiots who go out there with no life vests on knowing damn well the reputation of that inlet and how dangerous it is when that water is whipping up like that.
What could the captain have done differently to avoid the crash here? Where is everyone watching from? 🌎
He could have been a bus driver lol,Australia here
I don’t have a boat. I’m not a boater. I know nothing about anything regarding a boat. But I can tell that big ass boat would not fit under that bridge.
Check tide charts, maneuvered quicker, had fender out until out of the channel. Captain in San Diego Ca.
Have the boat built from lighter materials and have stronger engines.
Looks to me like he tried to turn around when he realized he wouldn’t fit. Probably should’ve checked that first and it’s not too hard. Most chartplotters have that information built in.

Yes, insurance would cover. The replacement captain will have a newly buffed boat. 😉
Damn right there will be a replacement captain!
Of course you've read the policy; if the owner even had insurance. You would be better not to act like such a know-it-all.
@@rski1036 In that case it would be a “self-insured” event. So, yes, insurance would cover, either as issued by an insurance company or as self-insured.
I guess the captain thought the bow thruster was stronger than the tidal flow. That was wishful thinking.

How do you not know the tides and you are a captain...mind boggling!!
Some are boat drivers and some are Captains. I think we can tell who they are.
@@beverlychmelik5504
You cannot operate that vessel without a license. He should know better.
Mediterranean and Baltic Sea don't have tides so it is not learned by coastal captains there.
I like that the law enforcement boat right there as the Yacht hit was like..."eh".
Wouldn't be surprised if the cap raised them on radio beforehand.
@@maddierosemusic Ya I agree. I was just joshin.
On a dull grey UK evening it’s good to watch sun and surf and people having loads of fun across the pond. Also - drone footage is a great new feature!
First choice on the red mystery boat is Donzi from long ago rebuilt hence no decals etc.
The number of small LAKE boats heading into the ocean is amazing.......in a bad way !!!! LOL
That Yamaha is like a bathtub toy !
And yet they all had a good time and returned home safely. Crybabies should always stay at home so they risk nothing......And gain nothing either.
Really enjoy the drone shots - in fact, I enjoy all your efforts, many thanks from the UK!

Love the drone shots, best investment ever👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
He punched in a useful boarding ladder.
The Nimbus T11 actually did really well. It is unavoidable to not get stuffed by a sharp huge wave like that.

6:48 wasn't a stuff, the wave broke over the bow, but the boat was setup well, just a bigger wave.

It probably would have better to allow the satellite dishes to get ripped off than to bounce the hull off the bumpers.
Amazing day at the Inlet, a bow stuffing marathon!
That tide is very fast if you look down at the water. That definitely made it a lot hard to maneuver quickly
Great drone footage - keep it up!
That Midnight Express stuffing it. Shameful.
A "good" captain should have know the tide table !

When your yatch’s name is Double Trouble, you can expect it…
Imo- Captain error 💯- Ins would cover, hate to see the deductible on it...
In other videos you see the captain had time to stop before the bridge and reverse the boat. He just didnt reverse back enough to do the U-turn.
