Rules I learned from this video... 1. Always have an anchor rigged and ready 2. Always have PFDs ready to don 3. Learn how to throw a line 4. Have the strongest cleats you can have and know how to tie off to them 5. Have Tow Boat USA policy 6. Forget all that and just buy a DGS Monster
Ad to your list; 1. Maintain your engine 2. Have a small backup outboard 3. Have a spare anchor with line ready to go not stowed below. 4. Have fenders ready to deploy, they are tougher than your leg, and far less expensive to destroy. 5 Some professional training is always good.
The paddle board guy was amazing! I see some people disagreeing about him in the comments, but he took action and put himself in harms way to help others. We need more guys like that.
That Inlet seems exceptionally dangerous in all of the videos, even on a good day. It’s fun to watch….from my couch, but I could never do that. The guy on the paddle board is a beast 👏
Amen, brother. I owned boats large and small most of my life and lived in Boca Raton. BEFORE I took friends out through Boca Inlet I instructed them on what not to do if we got into trouble. Thank God I never had a major problem but that may be because I maintained the boat and had all the "oh crap" equipment ready to use in a moment's need. Watching some of these people fumble with lines, anchors, etc. may be comical but it is extremely dangerous.
The fusterclucks these boaters are is incredible. No PFDs, no rope preparedness or knowledge of how to throw one, total lack of common sense, it's unthinkable.
It amazes me with all them wrecks, the "captains" had their ropes all tangled up and couldn't throw them out properly. I owned a boat for 16 yrs and never had tangled ropes or anchor lines with knots in them.
A boathook can come in handy. A telescoping one if space is tight. I normally use it as a boat hook to snag mooring lines, guide a boat between pilings, but it can also be handy in other ways, like pushing off of rocks.
@@BoatZone What help did he provide? Almost got himself into a bunch of trouble just adding to the rescue complexity. The boat owners did everything as they should've. Threw out an anchor and put their life vest on. If you can't fix the problem or paddle me out of that area, stay off my boat please.
@@blazingstar9638 I wouldn't have allowed him on my boat. Once on I'm liable and he had no life vest, was standing on the edge of the boat using a plastic paddle for no good then falls head first off the boat right along the rocks in heavy waves. Just plain stupid.
Watching from Tasmania. What amazes me is that nobody is wearing a life jacket. "It is compulsory to wear a life jacket in any recreational motor boat or motor-propelled tender that is under six (6) metres in length whilst under power. It is also compulsory for children under the age of 12 years to wear a life jacket in a recreational motor boat or motor-propelled tender of any length while under power"
There was no mention of the number of adults and children who did drown because they didn't wear life jackets. When you see people with no life jackets who can't swim, launched from boats in big waves and fast currents like this spot, their chances of survival are minimal unless they are got to quickly. A small child would have no chance. Millions of people round the world need help keeping safe, as they don't have the awareness to do it themselves. They make life jackets for a reason,- your choice if you don't want to wear one. Maybe you don't own a boat, or you've just been lucky. @@tomdavis8757
Let me guess. The Bal Harbor Police Marine Patrol trains at the Keystone Kops school. Why that Yamaha boat sat on the rocks that long is beyond me. Apparently beyond the "Experts" on the Bal Harbor Police boat as well.
Right? I was telling my wife that if the water was like this all the time where we're at I wouldn't even bother going out. How is that relaxing or enjoyable? I guess if you're into PWCs and doing jumps n stuff yeah but for a chill day on the water this looks like it sucks.
The conditions are find if you have any idea what you are doing. Most of this video I would consider "calm". It's an inlet, theres water movement all the time, but it doesn't look like overall conditions are bad.
I normally keep a couple lines attached on my normal docking starboard side. I make sure they’re secure (but easily accessible) when we depart, but I’ve wondered if that was amateur on my part.
@@wormhole331 I noticed the same thing. I had on a PFD, once while on a cruise (circa 1977), pretty sure we had to have them on properly. So, I guess, no one gives instruction on what to do before leaving the dock.
im betting the fuel filter had a change date of atleast 4 years ago, the engine was positively serviced when the boat was new and the beer on board was ice cold …
I think I would’ve tied a rope to one of the back cleats and had the police boat pull me away from the rocks until a safety boat arrived. That’s my thinking. ‘‘Em I wrong ? *7-14-2023
That is why you pay marine insurance. The opening scene where people are using their 40 or 50 year old limps to try to protect a 40 year old boat from damage when you have your fenders out is insane!!! Haul Over Inlet is one of the most dangerous inlets I have ever seen. To attempt it in a single engine or in an inflatable is nuts but here in the opening scene.....we have two Mensa candidates
It really look like a engine failure so I would not be quick to blame unless they cause the issues of the engine to fail. Keep in mind, no power on the outboard, your just a cork or bottle bobbing around uncontrolled.
On the last boat. Once the skis got them away from the rocks they could of just dropped anchor and waited for a tow boat. Does everyone forget about the anchor?
6:37 I give this capt credit though, had engine issues. Drops anchor and immediately gets PFD s for his passengers. Granted up on the rocks is never good but at least he had the sense to get PFDs on
Watching from Arizona... Deliberately running your boat into/onto the rocks is one of the stupidest things I've even seen! I'd be like oh heck no take me back to the dock. 😬
Me ( board, sitting at home) “sure would be neat to have a boat”….. “oh look! RUclips boat channel “…….👀 … Me, “sure would be neat to have an airplane “ One week late - Me “look at my new big screen TV”
when i was a kid my dad asked me if i could stop the car with my bare hands. and then asked why the hell i was trying to do it with a boat.. what lines cleats and bollards are for.
I live at the lake but it’s getting too crowded. Just found a perfect new lake in the Rockies and spent the last 2 days with only 2 other boats 😇. No. I am not telling.
I have been in Eastern South Florida all my life. Born In Ft. Lauderdale grew up on Singer Island (NORTHERN PALM BEACH COUNTY).My father bought me my is boat when I turned 13. The boat was a 15 ft. Rivera with a 50hp Mercury. Dad was not interested in fishing, however I was not permitted to take that boat anywhere until I passed the 8 week boating course. Of course the was done immediately and I was living the dream at 13. I never ran into any major problem. When I turned 16 he asked if I wanted a new boat or a car? That was a no brainier for me. I was blessed with a 20 ft. Grady White with a Mercury 150hp Black Max. By now we a huge dock with boat lift and everything 1/2 a mile from the Palm Beach inlet (Named on the charts a lake worth inlet). Yes my father was wealthy, but he wanted results after high school. So off to the military (Navy)i went. Since the Grady White I have had 6 boats since I sold the Grady in some where around 1980 , I am now 62 years old. Yes i had to pay for the last 6 boats i have owned. THE BOTTEM LINE AS I SEE IT DOWN HERE IS MANDITORY LICENSING AND AT LEAST HAVE A LICENSED BOAT CAPTIN .(COMERCIAL CAPTIN BE THE FINAL STEP IN THE LICENSING PROCESS.JUST LIKE automobile licensing. I never thought I would I would say this but it is incredibly insane down here. Currently I do not have a boats but many of my friends do I get my share of calls saying YO you want to go off shore and do a little live bait kite fishing? Still living the dream.at 62 years of age. My goal is 85 years. Salt life, Wade
That 2nd boat hitting the rocks was securely anchored. That captain never thought reversing out and dropping anchor and tightening em. They just let the waves thrash them into the rocks.
The day is now over, your boat has crashed. You engine's not working, the hull is smashed. The onlookers help you to no avail, the boat is not working, it's time to bail. Police arrive shortly, all has gone wrong. Did Jimmy remember to hide the bong? Onlookers' amusement, we're glad you're not hurt, but next time remember to stay off the dirt.
13:43. Everyone wearing a life jacket but not a single one of them with the bottom strap fastened around the midsection. They won't do you any good in the water when seperate from you.
The second guy is pretty cool blooded badass... not soi many people would think about anchor but he did it and safe the boat on last moment! They should stay anchored tho...
Puzzling why boat patrol just keeps driving past the boat sitting there banging against the rocks..isn't the goal to drag it away from shore..doesn't seem like they were in any hurry
What gets me is that the waves are choppy but not that high. The freeboard of the boats is too low. The frequency if the choppy waves make it hard for small light boats. I have been ocean sailing in the Pacific from Astoria OR to the Puget sound and back. The waves are MUCH MUCH bigger but a 38ft sailboat handles them easily. I wonder about these people.
Watching hallover videos reminds me of moths going to the light. Most of the moths are not very bright and haulover qualifies them right away into two categories, the people that are going to wreck their boats and the people that already wrecked their boats. Also it shows that not one person on any of the vessels has ever touched a line before. The incompetence of basic seamanship was astounding. It shows that just because you have money does not make you smart
Boat #1 has 6 people in what appears to be an 18' boat? Maybe longer? It looks overloaded to me. That's a small boat to be going out in those conditions, especially with all those people.
I fing LOVE boating in FL, but if you think you're just going to take any old boat out on the Atlantic, you better make sure you have an expert on board OR take lessons. It's no joke when shit is about to hit the fan on a boat and you have no idea what to do. Besides, boating lessons are fun!
amazing , just amazing how reckless these skippers are.. not one time he made sure that every one donned on a life vest and shown how to put it on. the only good thing some one did, dropped the anchor and had it hold.. Anchors should be on the ready, pulling into and out of any body of water. once leaving the dock , it should be made ready to deploy, .
Why did the boat drop anchor so close to the rocks? where is the boat;s grappling hook? why not wearing lifejackets? Why don't they know how to wear a buayancy aid? was there something wrong with motor before they ran ashore? Wow. why so close to rocks and chanel edge to start with?
I’m no expert…but I’ve owned boats all my life. I’ve had boats in rough unintentional situations such as a having to ride out a thunderstorm or two. The inlet is navigable if you use power and trim. Learn to read and ride the swells, know when to power through or ease back. 80% of these boat owners shouldn’t be allowed on the water the way they operate.
A lot of departments are cleared to rescue/ render aid to the people aboard, but not to recover the vessel. That's why they have TowBoatUS and others. Emergency vehicles aren't wreckers.
When you need a life preserver - you should already know how it works. And going out in rough water like this and assume nothing happens? Winner of multiple Darwin awards. Ha ha
@9:15 ...... VERY WISE INDEED, I worked repairing boats & motors for 30+ years ending around the turn of the century & although we DID NOT sell them anymore, people would still ask about how to tell if this or that boat was any good & I would tell them in depends upon what they want/need the boat for & todo. I told them that ""TOY BOATS were TOWED BEHIND TOYOTAS & that if you were up under the deck of a Bayliner, you could SEE THE OUTILNE OF THE 4 FOOT NEON LAMP IN THE SHOP, probably not too good for standing on, especially if any one was over 200+ pounds in their group & another way to test the overall quality of a boat & its fixtures was to just go into the show room & grab onto the bow rail & try to pull yourself up & into the boat, IF THE RAIL CAME OFF, HAND IT TO THE SALESMAN & TELL HIM HIS PRODUCT SUCKS & ASK HIM HOW YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO GET IN TO THE BOAT OUT ON THE WATER IF THE BOW RAIL BREAKS THAT EASY RIGHT HERE IN THE SHOW ROOM!! Around 3-4 years later, YAMAHA came out with an add that showed their whole boat being picked up and just left hanging in mid air with a crane & rope HOOKED TO THE BOW RAIL, imagine that!

3. Learn how to throw a line
4. Have the strongest cleats you can have and know how to tie off to them
5. Have Tow Boat USA policy
6. Forget all that and just buy a DGS Monster

Never seen one before - Kinda cool for heavy duty .

Ad to your list;
1. Maintain your engine

5 Some professional training is always good.

When someone invites you along in their boat try to find out if they know what they’re doing before you get on😬
The best advice on this page so far!
How would you know what they know if you dont know - I'd say better off not going
To many people drinking!

I guarantee they had plenty of booze.
before sailing from Poland to Sweden we were told by captain dont put any part of your body between boat and the dock
It’s rule number 1 but so tempting
It amazes me with all them wrecks, the "captains" had their ropes all tangled up and couldn't throw them out properly. I owned a boat for 16 yrs and never had tangled ropes or anchor lines with knots in them.
Don't forget most of these "captains" are just idiots with money to buy a boat.
That and their inability to put on a life jacket, let alone properly...
A boathook can come in handy. A telescoping one if space is tight. I normally use it as a boat hook to snag mooring lines, guide a boat between pilings, but it can also be handy in other ways, like pushing off of rocks.
So much rope tossing fails, it's excruciating.

Why does that first pair of boats keep crashing into the seawall? Seems intentional
amazing no one knows how to throw a rope, no one puts on a life jacket- they just sit there, aaaarrrrrhhhh
Looks like the Russian Navy is in town.
Why did the boat drop anchor so close to the rocks? where is the boat;s grappling hook? why not wearing lifejackets? Why don't they know how to wear a buayancy aid? was there something wrong with motor before they ran ashore? Wow. why so close to rocks and chanel edge to start with?
"Hello, Mr. George, I think it's out of gas"
Any idea cuanto cobraron los del Jetsky por el Yamaha AR210 el #6 17:25
Possibly the worst design of any harbour entrance in the world.
the first vid : non-professional towing (with high risk the line could be taken by the propeller)
the second vid : professional towing by the police
I’m no expert…but I’ve owned boats all my life. I’ve had boats in rough unintentional situations such as a having to ride out a thunderstorm or two. The inlet is navigable if you use power and trim. Learn to read and ride the swells, know when to power through or ease back. 80% of these boat owners shouldn’t be allowed on the water the way they operate.
Why on earth are police boats manned with only one person? They can do absolutely nothing in an emergency except watching
He could have helped but showed why he shouldn't be a Captain
They have Edgar on the paddle..
A lot of departments are cleared to rescue/ render aid to the people aboard, but not to recover the vessel. That's why they have TowBoatUS and others. Emergency vehicles aren't wreckers.
When you need a life preserver - you should already know how it works. And going out in rough water like this and assume nothing happens? Winner of multiple Darwin awards. Ha ha
Haha the boat on the rocks called “striker”. Haha yup
What is the positive side of boating? I can't come up with one.
These people have no idea sat on their backsides doing nothing instead of preparing ropes for a tow and which were all tangled.
@9:15 ...... VERY WISE INDEED, I worked repairing boats & motors for 30+ years ending around the turn of the century & although we DID NOT sell them anymore, people would still ask about how to tell if this or that boat was any good & I would tell them in depends upon what they want/need the boat for & todo. I told them that ""TOY BOATS were TOWED BEHIND TOYOTAS & that if you were up under the deck of a Bayliner, you could SEE THE OUTILNE OF THE 4 FOOT NEON LAMP IN THE SHOP, probably not too good for standing on, especially if any one was over 200+ pounds in their group & another way to test the overall quality of a boat & its fixtures was to just go into the show room & grab onto the bow rail & try to pull yourself up & into the boat, IF THE RAIL CAME OFF, HAND IT TO THE SALESMAN & TELL HIM HIS PRODUCT SUCKS & ASK HIM HOW YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO GET IN TO THE BOAT OUT ON THE WATER IF THE BOW RAIL BREAKS THAT EASY RIGHT HERE IN THE SHOW ROOM!! Around 3-4 years later, YAMAHA came out with an add that showed their whole boat being picked up and just left hanging in mid air with a crane & rope HOOKED TO THE BOW RAIL, imagine that!
If you posted the DATE and TIME at the beginning of your videos, we COULD find our boats. just saying boss.
sooooo. "one strike and a bunch of engine failures". Fixed the title for ya!
The boat is bashing against the rocks and buddy on the bow is untangling 100 feet of spaghetti..... 🤦The level of unpreparedness is unbelievable
Guy buys a boat, hey look at me I'm a captain now, take some courses people know, your boat be prepared.
