I have a small boat 19 foot and when the waves are too high I stay in the intercoastal waterway and just enjoy the day. Even the big boats cannot handle the ocean waves at times. Boating is about enjoying your time on the water.
Watching these videos has proven to me that you cant fix stupid. "Lets put the little kids up in the bow where they have nothing to hold on to. Theyll have fun."
As I said, they lack common sense because they play the god card because they have so much money and think they can do whatever they want and nothing bad will happen to them Mother Nature has a plan for that though👍👍👌😊
Dude, me and my sister and our 3 cousins would ride in my dads pickup truck missing a tailgate and I had to be maybe 5 years old (the youngest) 😂 the shit people could get away with in the 80s…My daughter was born in Philippines and they not only don’t know what baby car seats are, they literally make baby sized helmets for throwing your family of 6 on your 125cc moped that will get murked by a tour bus one day. Americans are over protective and miserable. People lose their house in a hurricane and act like it’s the end of the world, just crying…Filipinos are out swimming in the flood that literally 187’d ten thousand people laughing it off that their life was swept away in a storm, totally positive about it. It really puts things into perspective and how ridiculous we are. Yeah, should you put a life vest on your kid? Yes. Should you call the cops, get DCFS involved and humiliate someone for being an irresponsible parent 🤷♂️ I think most people, even bad parents don’t know they’re bad parents or are trying to hurt their kids. They might be from a third world country where life is cheap and short and just honestly don’t know better.
Wealth has nothing to do with bad boating skills. With the exception of inherited money, the wealthy folks I know did not get wealthy being stupid. They are dedicated to their efforts and work long hours for many years to accumulate wealth. I would argue there are wayyyyyyy more stupid poor people in this world than wealthy!
55:32 The jetskier is definitely in the wrong. Inlets and Outlets are made to go IN and OUT to reach a marina or harbor, they are basically like a two way street and you are always to remain parallel to the shore on each side. They are not made for idiots on jetskis to do donuts in. Also according to maritime regulations, the smaller vessel with more maneuverability should always give way to the bigger vessel that has less maneuverability.
thank good the uscg knows how to navigate in tough seas. my daughter worked for disney cruise lines and was a lifeboat captain . tested by the cg in all types of weather. had to know how to maintain the engine and ration food and water. she was the only other person i trusted with my boat. she had one better than me , celestial navigation , using a sextant.
Never ceases to amaze me that the driver of the little boats with passengers in the bow seating area don't slow enough to prevent passengers from getting thrown about. Incredible.
If they slowed down that much they would get swamped and sink the people on the bow should never even be there , there is actually a safety law that says ride on the bow of a boat while under normal speed operation is illegal for that very reason
also, it seems all adults think because they can swim that life jackets are not needed. the amount of people being nearly thrown out of the boat is hilarious
It never ceases to amaze me how many of these boats have kids on board without life vests (especially in choppy weather). In some situations, adults should have life vests on too and I would argue children under a certain age should wear vests). In the US, between 2003 and 2007, over 700 people were killed from being man overboard situations. It's estimated that 90% happen in calm seas under a foot (US Coastguard stats).
@@MarniTurboHoarder Yes I'm an Aussie and as a young kid, we all wore life jackets. I gave US stats as this video seemed to be from the US. Thanks for replying to my comment.
Agreed, its no good scrambling for the life vest after somethings happened. Me and my son pretty much always have our lifejackets on, after a while you forget your wearing them, its pretty well drummed into you hear in NZ.
@@objectiveobserver4278 In Florida the law is: A child under the age of 6 must wear a USCG-approved Type I, II or III personal flotation device while onboard a vessel under 26 feet in length while the vessel is underway. I find that to be way too lax. But we are talking about Florida where they don't even require these people to get boating/captains licenses. Its insane.
I've been playing around on the water for decades now. I came to the conclusion that there are basically 3 types of boater/sailors. A) Clued in. B) Clued in with money. C) Clueless and D) Clueless with lots of money. As for boats burning/sinking, add in abandoned. Saw an article from about 8 years ago, about all the boats abandoned all over Florida. Literally hundreds of them. Something goes wrong with your job and boats are the first to be ditched. Scrape off the registration, and hull number, beach it in the middle of nowhere and walk away.
Boat fires and purposeful floundering have been happening like that since before I ever left Florida (can’t wait to move back btw), in 2003. And yeah it happens on purpose….when I lived up the treasure coast I knew a lot of salvors (who are all living off lended money), who’s boats always seem to catch on fire or sink when they had a rough year. lol. So I am absolutely in the camp this is only just now being caught on camera. Maybe not all are purposefully done, but a whole lot of them are…… Great channel btw. It’s cool seeing someone capture these sharp as a marble captains at Haulover.
Totally agree with you. What’s with these cheesy sad pricks with boats that are an extension of their penis? Total idiots. Too much money to not know what to do with.
@@promisefisheries7901I don’t know about that. I think some ports are more apt to attract the type of boaters that don’t know any better like a lot of the boats in this video. Wasupfool5692 was absolutely right. A lot of these people have no business owning a boat. I saw a pontoon boat as well as a bunch of ski boats & bow riders, which were the boats with the bows that point down. The type of boater that thinks it’s a good idea to run a boat like that through that inlet is an idiot. Those kind of boats only belong in fresh water lakes. AT MY home port which is Oregon Inlet NC, you’ll never see boats like that. I’m not saying that there are never any inexperienced boaters in my waters, but mostly what you’ll see are commercial fishermen & charter boats most of which are large flybridge sport fishers. My boat, which is a Mako 236, is the smaller of the boats you’ll see out there, and my boat is offshore capable.
I have served in the navy for 76 years and have been a certified commercial cruise ship captain for 89+ years. I have owned 18 vessel's and was even a certified marine tech during my childhood. Because of this experience I can verify you are correct these people should not operate a boat
what was the endgame here? boat tows them a couple feet then crashes them back into the peir, tows them again and crashes them again and then leaves while ignoring a bigger boat that could have towed them to shore...color me confused
I always remind my passenger to let the boat protect you! Then ask them, if they think their leg or arms are gonna stop 12k lb boat that is being pushed around like a feather in the wind by the waves, from hitting anything? Don't be an amputee! : )))
In my experience in the inlets, most of these boat owners are clueless idiots, the watercraft crowd are much more-so. When they screw up, they expect a 50 ft yacht to just stop, because after all, they can.
trim and throttle are exactly what should be used in that condition given the length of the hull to extend over the short-distanced swells @@agcsragcsr
The power boat was overtaking the jet ski. He must give way. The power boat had excessive speed for the conditions and did not post a proper lookout. The fact that the jet ski is small or hard to see has nothing to do with it.
@@cristoforopassaro2219 Did my comment say that it had something to do with the jet ski being small or hard to see? The collision regulations govern the maneuverability of the vehicle. For instance, a sailboat is very difficult to maneuver under sail, but they still need to watch out for larger boats that are under power, no matter where they are. A jey ski can maneuver far quicker and easier than a boat. The boat was not making any unpredictable maneuvers which gives the jet ski ample opportunity to make way.
@@cristoforopassaro2219 The original video this clip came from shows more of the situation. The jet skiers were doing circles in the inlet hitting the wakes for airtime. General consensus on the video was that the inlet is lane of travel not a playground and the jet skiers were overstaying their welcome. I still think its hilarious how they circle the boat like a bunch of hoodlums on motorcycles 😂😂
Been watching your videos for several years now and I love them! Really enjoyed the extended version of compilations with the description/narrating and the background of the camera crews at the end. I've never been to Florida im in California but if i ever get out there im gonna make it a point to get out to Haulover thanks to your channel.
Where to begin. Fist of all, too fast, slow everything down. Second, move passengers aft. Third, no one forward of the helm during rough passage. Fourth, slow down, ride the back of the wave coming in. Going out, time the waves and take them more on the quarter.
Man, I had a 43' boat that led an easy life in a freshwater lake in central Texas with a covered slip. There is NO WAY I would touch a used boat from that area. I mean, the saltwater intrusion alone, let alone all the banging and smacking that happens to some of these boats that really weren't built for ocean conditions. Talk about old before their time!
I am originally from Michigan, and boats on the Great Lakes are in much better shape. I now living in Florida where boats take a BEATING, and buying a used boat is damn risky!
Just getting to this video today, September 2, 2024. Burned boat being towed in was absolutely awful!!!!! Dreadful!!!! Shocking!!!! Gorgeous boat to be destroyed!!!!! So, so very sad! I'm up in central Ontario, Canada, and have never seen this type of situation before. Please try to capture more of these sorry, sorry boats to hopefully shock more people. Nonetheless, as an aside, after this comment I would like to add, I do really enjoy your content. Thank you. Always entertaining and well, shocking too!
They got all upset when three of them ran up on the boat and he saw one and turned to avoid it but turned into the other because they don’t know collision avoidance procedure. Everyone turns right
Just because you bought it, doesn't mean you have the skills to captain it. The amount of people in the bow while facing strong oceans shows that the ability to buy far outweighs the ability to be a good and safe captain
45:05 anchor drops off bow (they don't notice 46:14 unattached anchor line runs through anchor mount into the sea. They don't notice. How deep is the water there?
At 6:28 the lady sticking her leg to stop the boat before it hits the dock is good way of needing total knee replacement or ACL tear, compound fracture. Do not do this again!
Thanks for the great videos. I am not even a boat guy and I really enjoy them. You have an extensively vast knowledge of the types of boats and how to tackle the inlet.
Watched so many of these, in 2023 and prior years; great to see a year end compilation. I would suggest however, that the main theme of boats that experience trouble or even just unnecessary roughness, is not the inlet itself, although that the very subject of the video. Why is the inlet the way it is? Because the conditions BEYOND THE INLET are inhospitable! You shouldn't be going out into the open water - which is what the inlet takes you to! (duh) - in those kinds of conditions! That is the common theme here. The inlet is just a symptom of what you shouldn't be headed into in the first place.
But the USCG gives bar crossing info enough to make a more educated decision. I just dont understand the cavalier attitude of Florida boaters...I guess maybe it is the water temp. And the boat designs are odd...with that drooping bow that is literally the worst possible design for a boat that has to cross that bar to go to the ocean.
The part about the burning boats I believe it’s a little bit of both of everything one you are filming more on the river and you see more damage but also I believe because of the insurance, the maintenance and the fees and payments people are doing this and there’s small percentage of Accidental fires because of the owners doesn’t know what he’s doing on the boat
IQ distribution curve? 😂😢😊 The way these boats are handled most should be wearing bike helmets sSamming into fiberglass bulkheads, with hard marine cusihons hurts.
Wow! All Fun and Games until someone gets washed overboard. When We See the mates Launching it, I can hear the sound of Broken Motor Mount bolts and Creaking of the hull. Aye . Great stuff and Merry Christmas 🌴 🎅 St. Augustine Crew.
I really enjoy your excellent videos. I like the that you provide details on each boat. Do these people realize that the sea is very unforgiving to stupidly 😮
Both Jet Skier's should be cited for reckless operation.. Look @ what the other idiot was doing after the incident 56:02. I'll get he didn't know he was being recorded and didn't know the cops were so close. Why are they doing donuts in the inlet to beging with?
The fire/rescue guy should have to go to an education class on maritime safety. The jet skier had every right to stay on that beach if they thought leaving was dangerous
Wonder how some these boats fare up structurally after all that pounding from going through that inlet ? especially the transom w/multi eng. setup, keeps those marine shops in business $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ !
Ive been to haulover many times and watched plenty videos of this but tell me, where do the boaters go when they get past the inlet? The white caps and swell out there tell me it doesn't look very pleasant
People please! Never sit on the bow when the boat is travelling, even if the seas are calm any freak wave from a passing by boat can lift you of that bow.
May I ask a silly question? Is it necessary to obtain a boat license for recreational boats in the Florida/USA? And, are all the boats shown here recreational? Is there a size at which you DO need to be a captain to operate the boat legally? Here in NZ, where we have one of the highest drowning rates in the world (mostly because we all live close to water) I was trained to never get onto a boat (as opposed to a ship, which leans out in a turn) before putting on my life jacket, and never to take it off until I got ashore. Like my Dad (a doctor) used to say, "It's the simplest and easiest thing you can ever do, to ensure you don't die drowning." He said: "It's the cold-water and/or cramps which end up drowning people without lifejackets." Just so you know.
No license required for recreational use up to a certain GVW (gross vehicle weight). Anything over that GVW or a vessel used for commercial reasons requires a license.
Not a license but anyone born on or after January 1, 1988 is required to complete a boating education course or pass a test to operate a recreational boat in Florida.
I've been boating for over fifty years and it never ceases to amaze me to see so many poor boat handling mistakes when I watch your videos. In the incident where the jet skier was hit by the boat, my HO is that the jet skis should be prevented from operating in that inlet, there's too much boat traffic there. I used to captain a 45' boat and when you're in heavy seas or waves like are common in the inlet, it is sometimes impossible to see that far ahead of the boat until the bow comes back down, especially when you're talking about a jetski that is zipping around.
You think you're an excellent swimmer until you fall into water like that, the waves smash your face, you fight to catch your breath, you get winded quick. When you're out of breath, you sink, can't even float on your back. Ask me how i know. 💯👌 Life jackets, WEAR THEM.
the coast guard only requires a captain's license if you have paying passengers but some states require you to take a boater's course but most of the time not for recreational purposes
In Canada you need a pleasure boaters license for anything 10hp or more. Unfortunately it has no limits skiff or 250f yacht same ticket. Comercial ticket is basically in tonage and starts at 5t passenger/15t fishboat and goes from there.
@@graham2631 at least we get rudimentary knowledge on channel markers,stand on/off etc.if only there was training on launching and loading.public launches are the worst for dealing with novice boaters.
It depends on the state. Here in Maryland we have to attend a multi-week training course and pass a test. My only issue with it is that anyone before before 1971 is exempt, and there's more of them than you'd think out piloting boats for the first time.
47:20 and on; From what the direction of the current looks to be, the guy actually does a perfect job with the anchor. Causing enough drag on the left side of the boat so the current doesn,t slam them into the rocks, but creates a forward motion. This is how more or less a sailing boat works.
Apparently they are. I know there's at least one story of one lasting an incredible time and distance- the Sarah Joe. 5 guys set out from Maui in 1979 and didn't come back. 10 years later, most of the boat and the remains of one of the men was found in the Marshall Islands, over 2000 miles away through the Pacific. Seeing the picture of the boat, it's kind of crazy just how much is left after 10 years of being out in the elements with zero maintenance.
Serious questions. Thrse are expensive boats of varying degrees but people beat the shit out of thrm and risk sinking thrm like it's nothing. Are they rented? Chartered?

This video proves that rich people are not necessarily smart people.
Luck factors in much more than people realize. Realistic billionaires will admit this.

They are dedicated to their efforts and work long hours for many years to accumulate wealth. I would argue there are wayyyyyyy more stupid poor people in this world than wealthy!
It proves that older dudes with money always have a younger woman with a hot ass holding on to them while boating 🤠
rather prof that rich people are cheap people , you get what you pay , bad captain, cheap captain, not educated captain equals bad sea experience.

@@keithscudder7136 LOL, I was being sarcastic on trim and throttle. I agree it is complete lack of seamanship.
trim and throttle are exactly what should be used in that condition given the length of the hull to extend over the short-distanced swells

😂😂
😮😮 Extremely surprised not more people are lost at sea! Between unsafe boat designs and stupid captains, it just seems so Dangerous.
The jet skier should be cited. If you follow the hierarchy of the collision regulations, the jet ski has more maneuverability than the larger boat.
Yup. Jet skis and waverunners never have the ROW.
The power boat was overtaking the jet ski. He must give way. The power boat had excessive speed for the conditions and did not post a proper lookout. The fact that the jet ski is small or hard to see has nothing to do with it.
@@cristoforopassaro2219 Did my comment say that it had something to do with the jet ski being small or hard to see? The collision regulations govern the maneuverability of the vehicle. For instance, a sailboat is very difficult to maneuver under sail, but they still need to watch out for larger boats that are under power, no matter where they are. A jey ski can maneuver far quicker and easier than a boat. The boat was not making any unpredictable maneuvers which gives the jet ski ample opportunity to make way.
@@cristoforopassaro2219 lol,no.
@@cristoforopassaro2219 The original video this clip came from shows more of the situation. The jet skiers were doing circles in the inlet hitting the wakes for airtime. General consensus on the video was that the inlet is lane of travel not a playground and the jet skiers were overstaying their welcome.
I still think its hilarious how they circle the boat like a bunch of hoodlums on motorcycles 😂😂
Kudos to the drone pilot!
Been watching your videos for several years now and I love them! Really enjoyed the extended version of compilations with the description/narrating and the background of the camera crews at the end. I've never been to Florida im in California but if i ever get out there im gonna make it a point to get out to Haulover thanks to your channel.
Great video..! Nosotros bajamos de Washington DC a Miami e hicimos el mismo paseo en mi 255 FSH saliendo de Key Biscayne… Keep having fun..!
Thank you for all the incredible videos!!! Merry Christmas 🎄
Our pleasure!! Same to you!
I love these boats like at 22:48, shaped like a giant spoon to scoop up the water - brilliant! :D :D
Where to begin. Fist of all, too fast, slow everything down. Second, move passengers aft. Third, no one forward of the helm during rough passage. Fourth, slow down, ride the back of the wave coming in. Going out, time the waves and take them more on the quarter.
Nah, that makes too much sense.
standing waves - different from beach waves.
Going too slow is the number one problem at haulover
Man, I had a 43' boat that led an easy life in a freshwater lake in central Texas with a covered slip. There is NO WAY I would touch a used boat from that area. I mean, the saltwater intrusion alone, let alone all the banging and smacking that happens to some of these boats that really weren't built for ocean conditions. Talk about old before their time!
Yes,, those high end boats have seen a lot of banging for sure.
I am originally from Michigan, and boats on the Great Lakes are in much better shape. I now living in Florida where boats take a BEATING, and buying a used boat is damn risky!
My spine and knees are just not built for that life. I ache just watching these 😅
Things I could watch for hours:
A bonfire
A snowfall
Boats moving through Haulover Inlet
Me, too. The sounds of the waves, and the birds. The way the sunlight reflects. The changing color of the water. Heavenly.
4:40 Batman would love that boat. Out there chasing the Penguin
Is a life jacket not mandatory??
For kids it is mandatory. In water like this, it should be mandatory for adults as well.
Just getting to this video today, September 2, 2024. Burned boat being towed in was absolutely awful!!!!! Dreadful!!!! Shocking!!!! Gorgeous boat to be destroyed!!!!! So, so very sad! I'm up in central Ontario, Canada, and have never seen this type of situation before. Please try to capture more of these sorry, sorry boats to hopefully shock more people. Nonetheless, as an aside, after this comment I would like to add, I do really enjoy your content. Thank you. Always entertaining and well, shocking too!
My poor ass watching this as if I’ll ever be able to buy a boat 😂
Its a lot of maintenance. You have to wash it often.
The best boat is a buddy's boat. Chip in for fuel, or even pay in full for fuel, and you still come out way ahead vs. owning/maintaining your own.
Too many low life's in Miami. Way other better places left unsaid.😊
Another comment said we could find a bunch of them abandoned all over Florida. You wanna go down with me and get ourselves a boat or two? Lol
At 55:30 it should be mandatory that jet skis have an orange flag on a 8ft. whip pole so boaters can see them between the waves
They got all upset when three of them ran up on the boat and he saw one and turned to avoid it but turned into the other because they don’t know collision avoidance procedure. Everyone turns right
Just because you bought it, doesn't mean you have the skills to captain it. The amount of people in the bow while facing strong oceans shows that the ability to buy far outweighs the ability to be a good and safe captain
Agreed! However I believe that the Captain's IGNORANCE far out weighs any ability he Might possess
People think that you just need to wear the soccer King Pelé's uniform to play football like him!
They should line the sides of that inlet with seating, that's better entertainment than any circus I've been to.
@@bannzai
There's always a lot of beer and lawn chairs!🍺
They should line it with rows of rubber tires and plenty of handrails for man overboard to use.
Thank goodness for the video!!! The jet skiers need a healthy ticket! 🇺🇸👍🙋♂️
5:29 she’s so proud of her purchased parts
they float!
I just love the Axopar cross cabins with pilot houses so you stay completely dry.
Can’t read and watch chaos at the same time.
45:05 anchor drops off bow (they don't notice 46:14 unattached anchor line runs through anchor mount into the sea. They don't notice.
How deep is the water there?
Loved every second of it!
I always love the people tanning on the bow…just relaxing then WHAM!
LOL!
Respect the trough boys. Respect the trough.
12:03 it is called broaching when the boat rolls over after losing control in a following sea
i love all the lifejackets on everyone! good job!
That Miami Dade Fire Rescue boat is Beautiful !!! 🥰
At 6:28 the lady sticking her leg to stop the boat before it hits the dock is good way of needing total knee replacement or ACL tear, compound fracture. Do not do this again!
Yep! Stupid is what stupid does!
Seems like half the people down there don't understand trim, weight distribution, timing, and speed...
Half is far too generous
Safety, life jackets, preparation, passenger safety.......
Mother Nature isn't fooling around out there.
Agree! Merry Christmas 👍🏻
I'm at 15:06. When, exactly, is this supposed to show the "fails"?
I have to ask, why would you go to sea in 25knot onshore winds, just so comfortable,
Thanks for the great videos. I am not even a boat guy and I really enjoy them. You have an extensively vast knowledge of the types of boats and how to tackle the inlet.
2.25 stupid move
Did devolution start in Florida or does it just gravitate there?
Ever heard of "Florida Man"?
@@AB-80X Good one!
It definitely gravitates here, mostly from Ohio and New York.
Watched so many of these, in 2023 and prior years; great to see a year end compilation. I would suggest however, that the main theme of boats that experience trouble or even just unnecessary roughness, is not the inlet itself, although that the very subject of the video. Why is the inlet the way it is? Because the conditions BEYOND THE INLET are inhospitable! You shouldn't be going out into the open water - which is what the inlet takes you to! (duh) - in those kinds of conditions! That is the common theme here. The inlet is just a symptom of what you shouldn't be headed into in the first place.
no its a bar crossing. the seas beyond are not the same conditions.
But the USCG gives bar crossing info enough to make a more educated decision. I just dont understand the cavalier attitude of Florida boaters...I guess maybe it is the water temp. And the boat designs are odd...with that drooping bow that is literally the worst possible design for a boat that has to cross that bar to go to the ocean.
Wind against tide makes for really challenging conditions in an inlet
So what's the recommended technique to get through that? Especially when the boat starts to jump?
@53:00 Why did that big beautiful Vanquish yacht sink did it hit something while moored at that construction site??
The part about the burning boats I believe it’s a little bit of both of everything one you are filming more on the river and you see more damage but also I believe because of the insurance, the maintenance and the fees and payments people are doing this and there’s small percentage of Accidental fires because of the owners doesn’t know what he’s doing on the boat
I am the captain of the HCB Suenos and admit that I had a momentary brain fade and, for a minute there, thought I was at the helm of my submarine.
Hmmm…classic case of more boat than brains…people should not be in the bow!!
Time stamp?
Всегда смотрю этот канал, весело у вас ребята. Поражаюсь храбрости и безумию некоторых капитанов.
That place is wild!
Is it always so turbulent?
Most of those boat owners have no experience and reckless on top of that. Surprisingly that life jackets are not mandatory in such weather condition.
Why are kids in most of these videos not wearing life jackets?
Because their parents are idiots.
NOBODY wears jackets! And the boat with engine failure? First thing they should have done was put on jackets! Purely stupid.
IQ distribution curve? 😂😢😊 The way these boats are handled most should be wearing bike helmets sSamming into fiberglass bulkheads, with hard marine cusihons hurts.
Parents are dumb.
Rich kids don't have to wear life jackets
The fine is only 100 dollars
Plus the parents bought life insurance policies on them
Wow! All Fun and Games until someone gets washed overboard. When We See the mates Launching it, I can hear the sound of Broken Motor Mount bolts and Creaking of the hull. Aye . Great stuff and Merry Christmas 🌴 🎅 St. Augustine Crew.
I love the safety pointers.
I really enjoy your excellent videos. I like the that you provide details on each boat. Do these people realize that the sea is very unforgiving to stupidly 😮
Both Jet Skier's should be cited for reckless operation.. Look @ what the other idiot was doing after the incident 56:02. I'll get he didn't know he was being recorded and didn't know the cops were so close. Why are they doing donuts in the inlet to beging with?
Yep. Rarely do I see people on lake lice who use common sense.
The fire/rescue guy should have to go to an education class on maritime safety. The jet skier had every right to stay on that beach if they thought leaving was dangerous
Wonder how some these boats fare up structurally after all that pounding from going through that inlet ? especially the transom w/multi eng. setup, keeps those marine shops in business $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ !
Credit card Captains, you have to love them lol.
Ive been to haulover many times and watched plenty videos of this but tell me, where do the boaters go when they get past the inlet? The white caps and swell out there tell me it doesn't look very pleasant
These may be epic fails, but that thumbnail is an epic win.
People please! Never sit on the bow when the boat is travelling, even if the seas are calm any freak wave from a passing by boat can lift you of that bow.
I see LOTS of potential Darwin Award winners.
May I ask a silly question? Is it necessary to obtain a boat license for recreational boats in the Florida/USA?
And, are all the boats shown here recreational? Is there a size at which you DO need to be a captain to operate the boat legally?
Here in NZ, where we have one of the highest drowning rates in the world (mostly because we all live close to water) I was trained to never get onto a boat (as opposed to a ship, which leans out in a turn) before putting on my life jacket, and never to take it off until I got ashore.
Like my Dad (a doctor) used to say, "It's the simplest and easiest thing you can ever do, to ensure you don't die drowning."
He said: "It's the cold-water and/or cramps which end up drowning people without lifejackets." Just so you know.
No license required for recreational use up to a certain GVW (gross vehicle weight). Anything over that GVW or a vessel used for commercial reasons requires a license.
Not a license but anyone born on or after January 1, 1988 is required to complete a boating education course or pass a test to operate a recreational boat in Florida.
Great catches
Отлично ребята!!! Классные кадры!!!
Looks like a lot of boaters have more money than sense.
looks like a painful way to enjoy a nice afternoon, and for a few days later too
46:13 Bow anchor line decides it no longer wants to be associated with such madness.
I love these boats, so beautiful
I've been boating for over fifty years and it never ceases to amaze me to see so many poor boat handling mistakes when I watch your videos. In the incident where the jet skier was hit by the boat, my HO is that the jet skis should be prevented from operating in that inlet, there's too much boat traffic there. I used to captain a 45' boat and when you're in heavy seas or waves like are common in the inlet, it is sometimes impossible to see that far ahead of the boat until the bow comes back down, especially when you're talking about a jetski that is zipping around.
great video!
Some kind of masterclass for Doorknob.
You think you're an excellent swimmer until you fall into water like that, the waves smash your face, you fight to catch your breath, you get winded quick. When you're out of breath, you sink, can't even float on your back. Ask me how i know. 💯👌 Life jackets, WEAR THEM.
This is actually quite frightening.
What kind of camera you're using?
That Apache! So sweet!
In Sweden we need a license to drive a boat….i suppose not in the states😂
the coast guard only requires a captain's license if you have paying passengers but some states require you to take a boater's course but most of the time not for recreational purposes
In Canada you need a pleasure boaters license for anything 10hp or more. Unfortunately it has no limits skiff or 250f yacht same ticket. Comercial ticket is basically in tonage and starts at 5t passenger/15t fishboat and goes from there.
@@graham2631 at least we get rudimentary knowledge on channel markers,stand on/off etc.if only there was training on launching and loading.public launches are the worst for dealing with novice boaters.
Yeah same in aussie……..
It depends on the state. Here in Maryland we have to attend a multi-week training course and pass a test. My only issue with it is that anyone before before 1971 is exempt, and there's more of them than you'd think out piloting boats for the first time.
47:20 and on; From what the direction of the current looks to be, the guy actually does a perfect job with the anchor. Causing enough drag on the left side of the boat so the current doesn,t slam them into the rocks, but creates a forward motion. This is how more or less a sailing boat works.
45:30 As they begin to drift port here, notice the bow rope... then it disappears... Likely into the prop. Game over.
Those Boston Whaler’s must be amazing boats!
Apparently they are. I know there's at least one story of one lasting an incredible time and distance- the Sarah Joe. 5 guys set out from Maui in 1979 and didn't come back. 10 years later, most of the boat and the remains of one of the men was found in the Marshall Islands, over 2000 miles away through the Pacific. Seeing the picture of the boat, it's kind of crazy just how much is left after 10 years of being out in the elements with zero maintenance.
They are, they were also well built and made good fishing platforms, good seaboat but somewhat exposed
How is a paddle boarder in that???
Serious questions. Thrse are expensive boats of varying degrees but people beat the shit out of thrm and risk sinking thrm like it's nothing. Are they rented? Chartered?
Mo money den brains
