Wow BZ team you guys are definitely the best! So sad you can’t fix stupid with all these boat drivers showing off maritime ignorance and negligence with speed and thinking they can beat tough and rough waves while endangering passengers with their lack of boating skills…and yes the driver is FULLY responsible for the damages their passengers suffer when displaying this sort of stupidity!
@DAMNED SHARP KNIVES Ahh, ok. Makes sense now. I know about tides - I live in Vancouver, BC, Canada which is on the Pacific Ocean. I'm not familiar with the location of these videos and didn't realize it was actually a river coming out of there. I can never get over how rarely you see someone wearing a life jacket there. Not even the kids most of the time. I'm a strong swimmer but no way would I pass through that without one on. All it takes is a second to get sucked under if you're thrown overboard. Crazy people owning boats there! Thanks for the explanation, btw!
When I was ten I got my first boat. When I was 14 I drove it into the mangroves at 35 MPH. That's when I took up sailing. I never had a boat with an engine ever again for the next 45 years.
As a drone guy, I have to compliment both your editing skills and the pilot themselves. The aerial view gives a MUCH better idea of the wave frequency and height looking at it from above. Your videos have used this new media to great effect. Bravo!
@@ToddtheLoneDroner I'm betting a DJI. Further, I'm thinking it's like a Mavic because it can handle it a pretty good wind. Any of that line. Perhaps a Phantom 4 Pro, that's another solid video bird as well.
@@BoatZone I'm another broadcast video pro and was impressed by both the drone operation but also how stable it is in the wind. So spill it! Which whose drone are you using? :)
Green cop boat at 24:00 killed it the best. Perhaps everyone needs to get a green cop boat. Props to the small Sea Hunt that followed, that guy knows what he is doing. He has to or he's going down 😆
A couple of factors though- it looked as if it had gotten a bit calmer and both boats were going into the river rather than exiting. So they can roll with the waves instead of having them work against them. It's a bit easier to ride a wave in than to try to break through them going out. I love the hull design on the police boat though, and the fact that it looks heavy doesn't hurt either.
Everyone that ever gets a Ticket while on the water should always have to watch an additional 10 hours of these videos over and above any fines imposed. Great training for Captains of ALL ages and genders!
We’re here in the bloody desert southwest, the heat and lack of bodies of water makes this almost dreamlike. My buddy retired and is a tourist boat captain at the U.S. Virgin Islands, he too has some experience in large waves and knowing when to not challenge Mother Nature or fate. TS/T/D, Hurricanes and electrical storms, strong winds /Gales etc…
1:01 My goodness, is this a painting? Unreal colors! I've never been to Florida and I watch these videos and generally drool over the beauty, but this shot is UNREAL.
There's a park near the inlet, you can drive your car almost right up to the beach and have a swim. It is stunning. Fresh water showers and coconut palms. In autum, you can leave with an armful of fresh ripe coconuts, just need to pick them up from the ground. The only thing that ruins it is the smell of petrol from those godawful noisy *_motor boats!1_*
That's how you do it. Pay attention to the waves, steer and control your throttle, ride the waves... Pretty amazing to see that most people don't seem to get this and just try to plow through. 🤦
Epic Haulover! Over all everyone did pretty well, even the decisions to turn around were good. My favorites are the big yachts plowing through the breakers and large rollers.
Same here. I love seeing the big ones smashing the waves. But its funny how these boats that look massive at the dock still get banged around just like the little ones. But then I have been on massive cruise ships that were thrown around and tilted on their side so no vessel is ever really big enough to handle everything. If I could custom order a video it would be a series of power cat yachts 40'-70' taking on the waves. My dreamboat is the Aquilla 54 Powercat but I have never seen it in rough seas. Its almost like watching a crash test of a new car before you decide to buy one.
Wow. What a day! No surprise to me that the sheer size of the HCB gave it the win both directions. The Streamline was great, and the Invincible was top notch as well.
It’s absolutely baffling to see the drivers just not changing anything. Trim the bow up. Get it up on plane, ride the crest. And half these boats should have stayed on the lake 😂😂
As always, extremely enjoyable to watch. I must say, the ‘Waterdream 52’ for being such a large day yacht, does not do well with dispersing larger waves; just a huge soaking for all passengers.
That boat is the result of styling, not marine architecture. The nearly vertical stem and little or no bow flare harkens to the age of dreadnoughts and looks kind of cool, but the hull shape was originally intended for displacement hulls, not planing hulls. That hull form is totally disproven by the likes of nearly any NC Outer Banks design. Just a fad.
@@Eluderatnight I had to go look at the Axopar boats to see what you were talking about. They seem to plane with so much bow out of the water that the bow doesn't really seem to play a role unless you're running at displacement speeds. I've never heard the term "tumble home" used to describe a bow shape and I'm not sure it applies here. Tumble home refers to the shape of a stern or transom whose vertical lines turn back toward the center of the boat--that is, they tumble home. I'm not sure that can apply to a bow unless it is a sort of pram-type bow. The Axopar boats do seem to incorporate that to some extent, but there's not enough width to the transverse vertical section of the bow to allow true tumble home. In any case, all the pics I could find of Axopar's were planed off in relatively quiet waters, not working through seas of any size. I suspect relatively calm waters are their natural domain. There's so much bow out of the water that the water strikes the boat bottom far aft of the "stem" you might say. The run kind of like a canoe that's got enough power to plane. So the bow and any lack of bow flare (reverse tumble home?) seems kind of like a moot point. But back to the dreadnought style of the Waterdream, the bow does break the water since even on plane some of the hard stem/forefoot and vertical bow are in the water practically at all times. Without even a hint of bow flare, it's inevitable that the boat will have a wet ride. They do have a unique, if not pretty, shape and I guess that appeals to some people. But of all the boats that stay dockside during "Bertram weather", I'd say the Waterdream would be one of the first. Thanks for the commentary. Take a look at this: ruclips.net/video/GFiF-v4S0rY/видео.html
You would think 99% of Miamians floating on a raft made of few old mattresses surrounded by not enough leaky plastic barrels after 6 days to hopefully land on a beach in Miami would think twice about leaving an inlet that leads to a 5 knot northern current into a notorious liquid triangle that thousands of people have disappeared from with no land for thousands of miles. I would do it with little thought but a lot of preparation.
Well Boat Zone, I've seen it rough and hard to navigate during Detroit river fireworks, no problem getting out there, it's the return trip because it's not waves it's all Chop and when you add waves to the chop it's just worse , you funnel boats into a narrow opening it is going to be rough
Beautiful ❤️ I'm remember how the Longport Inlet dividing Ocean City N.J. and Longport N.J. inlet could be so rough going out further in the ocean for BLUE FISH trolling with the outriggers. So much fun miss those days with my father back in the 1980's. Love those center console boats. 🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟
Have to say this is the best so far. You have seemed to have got the noises and also the best of the best drone footage. Loving the drone footage keep it up. 💯
Where is this please! Brings back memories of years past in a 24' Christ Craft Off Shore Center Console. Single Inboard Engine what a beautiful boat with a beautiful sound of the Chevrolet V-8.
When you see the drone shots and learn the edges of the channel can be quite smooth, then it is quite a surprise to learn that most of these folks are doing these wave runs for fun and not necessarily just to get out of the channel.
Either my life completely sucks and I watch hours of this shit for nothing..... or this stuff is incredibly relaxing and addictive. Haven't figured it out yet but keep making these things and I'll sadly keep watching them. Lol. Great video this upload!!!
I watched a lot of these right after covid hit & everyone was locked down. They're very relaxing like ASMR. But it just makes me want a boat even more.
@@CarieSaad totally agree with you on the ASMR thing!! Love the fact BZ doesn't play annoying music. I do own a boat. Nothing like the sound of hearing your boat hull hit waves. You hear it plain as day in BZ's videos. Fell screen on my 32" curved monitor with headphones.... feels like I'm there. Add a good buzz and it's even better. Haha. Cheers y'all!
What a crazy rough inlet. It’s a marvel of nature how an inlet can be so rough on such beautiful days without a storm in sight! I’m in Virginia Beach and for Rudee inlet or Oregon Inlet down in the Outer Banks to get this rough it takes a storm
The second boat was built for this. Displacement hull slices through the waves. The skipper handled it well too. He knew exactly when to slow down and power up. Like a boss.
I'm a boater, but from the air it seems way calmer out to the sides than sending it down the middle. I understand give yourself as much room as possible incase something goes wrong but seems easier out to the sides
Wait what?? The very first boat…Texas Killer/r35…? That’s the dude with the fastest street Skyline there is. He drives a red Slyline and he’s all over the web…1320 videos, TRC etc. That’s crazy he’s on here too. So he IS rich. Lol. Damn.
That black convertible boat, Sucked at flaring water away! No Carolina Flair and haul had no shims to break water lol. Excellent Drone videography catching that yacht going through the channel with 10 or people on the bow.. 🏁
Out of curiosity, why isn’t there a break wall out in deeper water at this inlet? Here on the West coast, every harbor has them. If they didn’t, every one would look like this.
At least every ones wearing life jackets/preservers in these rough seas; yeah right,,,,,,,😡! Am I missing something here, what compels anyone owning a boat less than 35' to venture out into these type seas? Is there a Big Clambake everyone got invited to in Lauderdale? Free beer? What then? We do things a lil'different up here on Cape Cod. Rough water, small craft warning goes up; boats normally under 25' stay in the harbor.
Do people take this stretch of water on a challenge? The outsides look a lot calmer with less risk of killing someone or damaging or sinking your boat.
It’s crazy how fast some of those smaller boats are hitting those waves. And that huge boat should not have allowed people up front while going through those. Great drone video, that’s bad ass to see from above.
I am amazed at how many people are loaded into the front of these boats, like they haven't ever seen Haulover before?? These can't all be new boaters? Can they?
Spot on comment, nobody should have been on that foredeck. At all. And the stupidity of the - skipper ? - for allowing it with not a life jacket in sight just beggars belief.
it would appear that a large majority of the boat drivers down there have no idea how to use the trim on their engines or even bother checking the tide tables before attempting to exit the inlet....
I notice quite a few boats - usually more expensive ones - are flying dutch flags. How is that? Some incentive for Floridians to register in somewhere like Curaçao or something?
after a lifetime in the water, my instinct is always to approach large waves on the quarter, not head on. And headway speed is critical, only experience can tell you how much speed to carry. Speedracer did it properly for his boat, not too fast, not too slow.
Spot on Brian, I live in the North East of the UK, on the River Tyne. I always keep the Waves on my quarter when it is a bit rough coming in between the Piers. With having a Transom stern on my boat, the waves tend to pick you up as you cross the Bar and you surf in. Picking the right speed is the key to it. Safe journeys.
I've been on going out in boats of all kinds and rough weather like that the late can be nicer to gets caught up between the piers the more people plow through there the more the waves get worse the Riders can be a lot better after you get out of the
Until I started seeing RUclips videos of that area, I had no idea how rough the sea and inlet can get there. It is interesting to see how the various boat designs handle those conditions and some of them are totally unsuitable aren't they? After watching how incompetent some boat helmsmen are at Black Point Marina, it makes me wonder how many people have drowned at the inlet.
I’ve traversed many channels with fast flowing currents and have always made a point of watching and studying other boats movements and “State of the Sea” before entering. Edges are ALWAYS better. You NEED to know what’s under the water though.
Personally have been there and some of the rocks on the edge have fallen into the way and gif forbid something happens and you loose power close to the rocks it’s over so it’s only so possible to get so close to them
Having that wait and sea attitude is so much better than just rushing in. Some times Haulover is pretty quiet and then other times the current is against the waves and hell breaks loose as you get standing waves in the inlet. Have a nice Day.
This is more fun watching then being on the water when waves are this angry lol. When you are the one getting bounced around it’s not really all that exciting as one wrong move and it can turn very bad.
Advice for people boating in areas like this Lift your out drive up just so your bow is up Keep your boat at 2500 or 3000rpm You won’t have issues bouncing or to much water in the boat
@@khattemoat I would be going to the chiropractor once the boat is docked. But then again, my friends and I know how to operate boats in tough weather conditions and that wouldn't happen.
I don't see anyone wearing a flotation device. things can happen very quickly on boats. i always wear a life jacket when running at high speed. If you hit a deadhead you have seconds to abandon ship.
When people ask me about my years on a crab boat in Alaska, I explain that there's one element that TV shows can't capture, one thing that spectators can't appreciate. Boats are constantly in motion, constantly moving... Side-to-side, and up-and-down, especially when moving perpendicular to the swell (aka 'bucking the trough'). It's an all-out assault on the human body that has to be experienced or you can't understand it... But it is something the people in these boats are all too familiar with.
As always, extremely enjoyable to watch. I must say, the ‘Waterdream 52’ for being such a large day yacht, does not do well with dispersing larger waves; just a huge soaking for all passengers. I think other ‘European’ styled boats such as Axopar, Van Dutch or Pardo do a better job. None of them will do what a super-flair CC can do, however it was a really extreme day at Haulover for sure.
I'd add either CCHNC (center console, head, no cabin) or CCSC (center console small cabin)...to each their own, but vessels with beam to beam cabins forward of the cockpit are simply more seaworthy
There is a reason why you find a drier ride in a vessel having topside flair in the bow area. Many recent, contemporary designs with plumb bows and high volume interiors, are often created by product designers who have little to no experience aboard a vessel to understand the physics of a vessel underway in irregular seas. Sadly the market is drenched in examples of these, many of which were never envisioned to leave the dock let alone take on head seas in an inlet such as this.
@@earlalfaro3347 In the 60's and early 70's my family had a few boats with substantial cabins. The most sea kindly were moderately heavy semi displacement hulls that were very comfortable cutting through 15-20 knot chop at 15 knots or better. Let's see how comfortable those million dollar plus center consoles are in slop. The answer is, not at all comfortable because you have to be holding on tight to not get tossed.
So far, this has been one of the worst days we’ve seen at Haulover Inlet in 2022 (Nerve-Wracking) You will love this video!
Wow BZ team you guys are definitely the best!

You can't ride the crest when the waves are coming head-on against you.

Drone shots are breathtaking!
Glad you like them!
I like watching these videos because the rough water kills any dreams I have of owning a boat.
The instinct to head out to the ocean is very strong in Miami.

I'm pretty sure that large boat at 2:45 is a Princess y78, didn't see it in the description anywhere. I work there, based in Plymouth, UK.
I will agree with other comments the drone shots are killer...really puts everything into perspective!
It amazes me how many captains allow their passengers to ride on the bow.

They are the same people who refused to wear a musk. They're special.

Shark fishermen want all speed restrictions removed.

Thanks 👍
I think I have finally figured out how to navigate this inlet, buy a 70’ yacht.
I love the hull form of the fire rescue boat, easily twice as capable in heavy seas from how that looked.
Also skippered by a professional rather than cashed-up tossers ;)

@@jannywanny2201 But big oil companies need to sell that gas! Boats use soooo much of it.
Lacking trim for these conditions the nose goes into the oncoming sea. If trimmed properly the bow stays up and the stern goes up and down the waves .

The north end of the inlet is the sweet spot. Kinda shallow though.
Coming back in shouldn't be too much an issue. Ride a good sized roller in. It's not like you can get on much of a plane there.
Wait what?? The very first boat…Texas Killer/r35…? That’s the dude with the fastest street Skyline there is. He drives a red Slyline and he’s all over the web…1320 videos, TRC etc. That’s crazy he’s on here too. So he IS rich. Lol. Damn.
Loved the speedracer MTI boat. I don't get sea sick, but a ride in the smaller boats here would do it!!
You and me both!
yeah that was really cool.
Yes the nose is just like the car. There's never been a more perfect theme, paint scheme for that boat.
That black convertible boat, Sucked at flaring water away! No Carolina Flair and haul had no shims to break water lol. Excellent Drone videography catching that yacht going through the channel with 10 or people on the bow.. 🏁
Out of curiosity, why isn’t there a break wall out in deeper water at this inlet? Here on the West coast, every harbor has them. If they didn’t, every one would look like this.
At least every ones wearing life jackets/preservers in these rough seas; yeah right,,,,,,,😡! Am I missing something here, what compels anyone owning a boat less than 35' to venture out into these type seas? Is there a Big Clambake everyone got invited to in Lauderdale? Free beer? What then? We do things a lil'different up here on Cape Cod. Rough water, small craft warning goes up; boats normally under 25' stay in the harbor.
Trying to spot a lifejacket in the video is like trying to find Waldo.
Call me jealous, because I am. There’s something satisfying about seeing the richer types getting soaked 😂 quality film 🎥 thanxx 😂 👍
You rarely see Magnum boats any more. The 50 beast is an amazing yacht.
That boat, as old as it is, is still one of the best handing boats on this video. Not by accident....superb hull design
Do people take this stretch of water on a challenge?
The outsides look a lot calmer with less risk of killing someone or damaging or sinking your boat.
Let's just take a moment to appreciate the Grady White's amazing ride at the 23:35 mark. What a gorgeous boat!!
Good boats they are built about an hour and a half from me
Agreed!
Gradys are built very very well
That Miami Dade boat handled those waves like a champ. That dude on the back of the Liquor Box certainly held the boat up to its name, he's boxed up.
Hard to understand naming your million dollar boat Liquor Box.
@@danferguson2724 If the shoe fits
How many boats suffer hull damage from these waves?
Congratulations for the drone perspective. Thanks!
You can definitely tell the experienced from the inexperienced coming through this inlet !!!
Time 28:09 The Ritz-Carlton Bal Harbour and to the right Haulover Park with a great view of Collins Ave state road A1A
It’s crazy how fast some of those smaller boats are hitting those waves. And that huge boat should not have allowed people up front while going through those. Great drone video, that’s bad ass to see from above.
Thanks
I am amazed at how many people are loaded into the front of these boats, like they haven't ever seen Haulover before?? These can't all be new boaters? Can they?
@@JeffJackson86 every single time.
Spot on comment, nobody should have been on that foredeck. At all. And the stupidity of the - skipper ? - for allowing it with not a life jacket in sight just beggars belief.
it would appear that a large majority of the boat drivers down there have no idea how to use the trim on their engines or even bother checking the tide tables before attempting to exit the inlet....
Its just incredible to me that ppl arent using life vests in waves this big? Not even kids?
not to mention they bring dogs with them, poor animals don't stand a chance if they fall over.
I notice quite a few boats - usually more expensive ones - are flying dutch flags. How is that? Some incentive for Floridians to register in somewhere like Curaçao or something?
after a lifetime in the water, my instinct is always to approach large waves on the quarter, not head on. And headway speed is critical, only experience can tell you how much speed to carry. Speedracer did it properly for his boat, not too fast, not too slow.
Spot on Brian, I live in the North East of the UK, on the River Tyne. I always keep the Waves on my quarter when it is a bit rough coming in between the Piers. With having a Transom stern on my boat, the waves tend to pick you up as you cross the Bar and you surf in. Picking the right speed is the key to it.
Safe journeys.
I've been on going out in boats of all kinds and rough weather like that the late can be nicer to gets caught up between the piers the more people plow through there the more the waves get worse the Riders can be a lot better after you get out of the
Guy on the Sea Hunt with barnacles at 24:55.....legend. Easy man, my GF is on this app.
Until I started seeing RUclips videos of that area, I had no idea how rough the sea and inlet can get there. It is interesting to see how the various boat designs handle those conditions and some of them are totally unsuitable aren't they? After watching how incompetent some boat helmsmen are at Black Point Marina, it makes me wonder how many people have drowned at the inlet.
That WaterDream was juicy!
I’ve traversed many channels with fast flowing currents and have always made a point of watching and studying other boats movements and “State of the Sea” before entering. Edges are ALWAYS better. You NEED to know what’s under the water though.
Personally have been there and some of the rocks on the edge have fallen into the way and gif forbid something happens and you loose power close to the rocks it’s over so it’s only so possible to get so close to them
Having that wait and sea attitude is so much better than just rushing in. Some times Haulover is pretty quiet and then other times the current is against the waves and hell breaks loose as you get standing waves in the inlet. Have a nice Day.
That Magnum 50 is throwing a lot of black smoke. Why????
This is more fun watching then being on the water when waves are this angry lol. When you are the one getting bounced around it’s not really all that exciting as one wrong move and it can turn very bad.
That drones makes the whole difference
That Contender with the seafoam colors was on the Florida sportsman channel project dreamboat. nice to see it in action!
I'm sure enhanced structural hull integrity isn't a byproduct of increased acceleration.
Moral of the story is they don’t believe in wearing life jackets but they will one day
Advice for people boating in areas like this
Lift your out drive up just so your bow is up
Keep your boat at 2500 or 3000rpm
You won’t have issues bouncing or to much water in the boat
You really see the range of boat handling skills, from people going too fast and too slow, to people who get it right.
Ain't too many that get it right. 🤣
@@johnryan296
Shitloads of Credit-Card-Captains down Miami way, no doubt.
And a lot of boats that aren't designed for that either.
I have ridden my waverunner through here many times, it's the best!
Nice to see the open collar classes having a laugh. Beautiful boats!
Looks like wild rides to me
One can only imagine how those waves shorten the life of the boats.
And the spines of the people in them.
@@khattemoat I would be going to the chiropractor once the boat is docked. But then again, my friends and I know how to operate boats in tough weather conditions and that wouldn't happen.
I don't see anyone wearing a flotation device. things can happen very quickly on boats. i always wear a life jacket when running at high speed. If you hit a deadhead you have seconds to abandon ship.
When people ask me about my years on a crab boat in Alaska, I explain that there's one element that TV shows can't capture, one thing that spectators can't appreciate. Boats are constantly in motion, constantly moving... Side-to-side, and up-and-down, especially when moving perpendicular to the swell (aka 'bucking the trough'). It's an all-out assault on the human body that has to be experienced or you can't understand it... But it is something the people in these boats are all too familiar with.
That's some good old fashioned wave crashing 😎 and excellent drone work 👏 really enjoyed it
Thanks
The litle inflate was the best lol
As always, extremely enjoyable to watch. I must say, the ‘Waterdream 52’ for being such a large day yacht, does not do well with dispersing larger waves; just a huge soaking for all passengers. I think other ‘European’ styled boats such as Axopar, Van Dutch or Pardo do a better job. None of them will do what a super-flair CC can do, however it was a really extreme day at Haulover for sure.
I'd add either CCHNC (center console, head, no cabin) or CCSC (center console small cabin)...to each their own, but vessels with beam to beam cabins forward of the cockpit are simply more seaworthy
There is a reason why you find a drier ride in a vessel having topside flair in the bow area. Many recent, contemporary designs with plumb bows and high volume interiors, are often created by product designers who have little to no experience aboard a vessel to understand the physics of a vessel underway in irregular seas. Sadly the market is drenched in examples of these, many of which were never envisioned to leave the dock let alone take on head seas in an inlet such as this.
@@earlalfaro3347 In the 60's and early 70's my family had a few boats with substantial cabins. The most sea kindly were moderately heavy semi displacement hulls that were very comfortable cutting through 15-20 knot chop at 15 knots or better. Let's see how comfortable those million dollar plus center consoles are in slop. The answer is, not at all comfortable because you have to be holding on tight to not get tossed.
It's fkn ugly
The shoebox. Laughable design
