A lot of parents should be getting jail time to doing that shit with their kids without life jackets. Adults can be responsible for the own stupid action but to endanger the children is criminal.
It's not just kids, what about the adults like the chick that went over the side. They probably have zero boating experience and trust the skipper, who clearly has zero boating experience or skills.
@@WavyBoats Yeah I know, freedom and stuff but there really needs to be a regulation in the US similar to here in OZ where when crossing a nominated bar PFDs are required for all. There shouldn't be a need but like here, people "hazz teh dumb" and obviously don't have the sense to take such precautions without being forced to. There also needs to be stricter regulation of existing statutes, create a wake at Black Point and you are toast but do whatever you like on the bars.
I am absolutely SHOOK @ the ignorance of not only the Captain’s but the parents letting anyone, but most importantly small children ride in these vessels with no life protection!! Should be criminal!!
It'll get you a decent fine here in Michigan at the least, and that's just on lakes. People more concerned with how they look and overestimating their abilities don't want to wear a vest because it isn't 'cool' or whatever.
8:30 is just ridiculous. They know someone has fallen overboard, they can't see where he is, and they are powering over the waves and smacking down potentially right on top of him. No way they could have seen him if he was right in front of them. Gave me chills just watching it.
Highly advised for anyone navigating Haulover to watch that. Rule #1: keep your bow above the water, especially if you have an open bow. Rule #2: make sure your boat is suitable for the current conditions. Bigger waves = bigger boat. Rule #3: "lake boats" aren't made for the ocean. Lake boats have shallow draft and downturned bows. Stay in the harbor with lake boats. Rule #4: if you take even one wave over the bow, turn around and go back in. With each wave you're getting heavier and sinking deeper, which means the next wave will dump even more water inside your boat. It's a downward spiral, then it's too late. Rule #5: secure all passengers before entering rough water. Rule #6: no passengers in open bow in rough water (judgement call, based on size of vessel vs size of waves). Rule #7: wearing floatation devices in rough water highly advised, kids especially. At the very least have them handy, and in sufficient numbers for all passengers.
Handy isn’t good enough in turbulent waters. As you know disaster can happen in a second, and then it’s too late. Especially when you have kids with you. If they land in rough water even with a PFD they still need an adult in there with them.
35 year's coastguard This still gives me the shivers and a bit of anger to see such fools putting their friends and family's lives in dangerous situations why can't we learn 😢
100% correct. Lunacy powring out at speed, lunacy allowing a passenger to lay on the foredeck in those waves and dare I say it not a sign of anyone wearing any firm of buoyancy aid or life jacket. I'm will to be no "kill cord" either...
Absolutely! Some of these are straight up annoying! Let's go out at max capacity, little experience, let people ride in the front during this rough travel the list of ignorance is crazy!
Close to losing their life? She appears to be quite capable and comfortable in the water and doesn't seem to be in any trouble at all, just like swimming in a fast river it looks way worse than it is if you are comfortable in water and a decent swimmer you know that all you need to do is relax, float, and go with it, if i fell into water holding my phone I'd also be trying to stop it getting destroyed, unless I needed to ditch the phone to swim harder of course, which is probably exactly what that girl was thinking too.
I’m on the ocean every day for around 40 years now ( with some time off for good behavior) but I’ve never seen such incompetence in boat handling in my life. No life jackets are asking to drown as well and once overboard the other boats can’t see a swimmer if they are lucky enough to be able to swim after some of these washovers.
Thats probably becuase you're around your own, Sailors. Lots of these cats drive down south rent a boat for the weekend, invite friends and without any regard to the "Rules of the Road", let alone the respect for the power the Ocean has.
@@CMarkem you’re right about that I think. I know I went to the Caribbean a few times and rented a 40 foot catamaran and took off with my family on it. They didn’t have any idea how much I know about Boat handling fortunately since that’s what I do everything was fine, but I could’ve been a rank amateur and they would not have known. It’s amazing to have half $1 million worth of boat in your hands just on a signature. there’s trust, and then there’s just plain crazy. I think it falls in the latter category
Oh my!!! The one boat who turned around!!!! I thought he was going to slam on top of the man overboard!!! He should have stopped and waited to spot the man before moving the boat.
They are also breaking Florida law. There's the registration number and the video. Time for a ticket! In Florida, passengers 6 years of age and under are required to wear a Coast Guard-approved, Type I, II or III life jacket while on board any boat that is under 26 feet in length, while the boat is underway.
@@gowithgid3274 It's 12 here in Australia and on a crossing of a nominated bar (of which there are about 30 in the country) every soul on board is required to wear one. That wasn't done lightly, we had a couple of tragedies in the 80s with multiple deaths from idiots in small boats on bars. In reality tho it should simply be common sense. I own an auto inflating PFD that weighs almost nothing, is so small you don't know you have it on and cost me under 80 bucks. I wear it almost all the time on small craft.
I have grown on the water. The way these captains have everyone in the front of the boat and trimmed with the bow already nearly in the water is so upsetting, especially on some of the smaller boats. Those little boston whalers and carolina skiffs can do some amazing things, but you have to know what you are doing and somewhere like this is the wrong place to learn
I'm new to boating. I've taken boater safety courses but nothing really discusses much about what to do in situations like these. I'm trying to watch these videos for educational purposes. Could you please explain, aside from not having that much weight in the front of the boat, what could be done to prevent or mitigate this from happening?
What to do in these situations: 1. Get the bow up! Move passengers to the stern. 2. Use the power from engine to lift the bow. 3. Tilt the engines and adjust trimflaps to get more bow lift. And the most important, USE LIFEJACKETS AT OPEN SEA
Check the weather first: better to not to go out if it's not good weather. Ensure that everyone has jacket Ensure that everyone is NOT standing when such waves are crossed and that everyone has solid grip to hold If your boat is too small, don't go out, what's the fun in such roller coaster? Boat is a joy, not a pain!
5:08 Boston whaler owner here. if this ever happens in a boston whaler you can just pull the drain plugs and keep driving, since the hull is sandwiched with high strength foam, its buoyant enough to self-bilge.
In my experience, the time to put life preservers on small children is not at the dock but wait until you're in heavy waves and the bow of the boat is submarining thru the waves. Make sure all of the adults have had a few beers and just for fun overload the vessel and plow into the waves as fast as you can to insure the maximum amount of water washes over the bow.
I grew up around the ocean and having almost drowned on 2 occasions, once as a kid and second caught in a rip tide, I have the greatest respect for water, especially waves and inlets. Even as a stronger swimmer you have to respect the ocean. Being in a boat and having no respect for the ocean is a recipe for disaster.
I was caught in a rip tide once. Thought it was the end and luckily as a strong swimmer knew to let it take me where it would and swim with it. Wound up other side of the sand bar hundreds of yards away....in the mud flats and sand spurs....and made it back to where I started out. The ocean is nothing to mess with. Was 17 at the time and am 58 today. IF I go to the beach I check the tides and make my trips based on that. Period.
@@sevinnine6348 I was in an almost identical situation many years ago when I was 15 - 16, surfing off the coast of Cornwall, UK I was caught in a rip tide just off the Camel estuary and ended up the other side of a large sandbar so called the "Doombar" by locals as it was regularly the doom of many vessels through the centuries. Eventually I got back to where I started but man was it scary.
To be fair I was a vastly stronger swimmer in my youth than I am now. I can't believe they took their dog on the boat without a life vest... freaking monsters
@@rtr8296 I vastly could care less. Just because 99% of millennial "adults" now never had a life doesn't mean the rest of us didn't. The things I did during my life.. youd try to ban. I'm glad I got to live my life. Just because my parents don't or didn't sit me down infront of cable TV, doesn't mean all of us had that fate. You're destroying (destroyed, there's no coming back for them) your own kids because your parents never let you grow up and have fun.. keep trying, not all of us had loser parents, I'm sorry to inform you. I had been cliff diving and swimming in our oceans so much that my parents never worried about my ability to swim. If I said no life jacket they knew. If I said life jacket they knew and trusted me. Because my parents didn't sit me down infront of a TV to "learn".. If for a second You're a parent, I feel horrible for your kids because everyone knows you don't let them do anything. But you're super awesome parent who let's your kid play 'fortnite' lmfao you ain't helping or teaching your kid anything
I've spent years as an ocean tour guide in large rigid hull inflatables on the coast. It amazes me that some of these boats are clearly expensive, and yet the operators don't know how to run them and are clearly put their passengers lives at risk. Either they don't have to take a safe boating course or are too arrogant to take one. It's not just the risk of swamping or having a passenger in the water without a life jacket, it's the damage you can do to someone especially if they are on the bow of the boat when a wave tosses them into the air. There are plenty of hard things to land on, like handlebars and the deck itself, or even landing hard on your tailbone or back. To put anyone in the front section of a small boat in high frequency waves is incredibly irresponsible... you can see the slingshot coming from a mile away. Also the happy faces turn to fear very quickly after the first dunking. Amazing video and very educational. Anyone travelling through that canal to the open sea should have to watch this video before being allowed to do so.
One of the constants in life that I have noticed is that the more money a person has, the less common sense they have. I think it has to do with being hyper focused on whatever made them successful, and that ego transferring to things they don't know as well. Plus, money equals power and a twisted sort of respect from others, leading to "yes man" syndrome. They in effect never think they are wrong about anything, ever.
I grew up boating with my parents and I love it. But all of college I never went out with friends. I didn’t want to be trapped on a boat with an unsafe driver. This vid is exactly why.
Same, grew up boating with my parents and even had my own boat by the time I was 12! (A little flat bottom boat for going crabbing in the marshlands). I went out on a lake once with friends who rented a boat. I almost had a heart attack with all the ignorant and DANGEROUS things they were doing. Never again.
I'll never understand how people can be smart enough to be able to make the kind of money to afford this stuff, yet be so totally stupid when it comes to things like safety.
making money doesn't always mean that you're smart. They could have married well or been given a token position that has no responsibility just because they know the owner of the company.
Most of these idiots don't realize that you've got to keep the bow of the boat pointed toward the sky in these Rough Waters you can't just idle through the big waves! You've got to use the boats power properly and take each wave as it comes.
Having been in boats and on the water(North Atlantic) in small boats most of my life I'm appalled at the incompetence, lack of respect of the water, and uncaring attitude for passengers, on the part of the skippers. If they insist on showing how bad they are at boat handling they should at least put on a PFD. even if they are drunk.
Especially if they're drunk. If you smoke pot instead, you might get there slower but it's not nearly as bad as alcohol in many ways. Alcohol really screws up the mind, vision and balance way more than marijuana. (Assuming you don't overdo it.)
Totally agree but when you can get a boat licence for $34.95 in Florida, with all the questions and answers given and have unlimited attempts at getting the answers right online(when you can get a mate to answer the questions) you have a recipe for ignorance and disaster. The Licence requirements are a total joke.
@@EnglishLawyer Online "questionaires" regarding to licenses is so stupid. It only really weeds out the mentally-subnormal because anyone with half a brain would cheat.
@@mbd6054 idiocracy is upon us these people are complete morons raising morons I own a closed bow racing boat and no one is allowed on it without a life jacket no exceptions
Take one open bow boat, trim the outboard nose down, add lots of people without life vests to the nose and then just go for it. If you get into trouble, circle in the worst waves. Great recipe.
@@avigator Especial considering they’re all children and one adult, the driver of the boat KNOWS what’s likely to happen when they hit the waves, he doesn’t insist of PDFs for the kids, and even when the kids are screaming and crying he continues to go for it even though the father/adult is telling him to stop and someone else calls him a son-of-a-bitch. The guy doesn’t have a clue what he’s doing and someone else should deck him and take over. Even someone who’s never operated a boat before could do better! What a moron!
Grew up on a beach. could swim when I was three, surf when I was five, learned to drive a boat when I was 14. I was junior surf lifesaver, a surf life saver, a state champion surf lifesaver. By the time I wa 16 I was training to driving rigid hull inflatable surf rescue boats, at 18 I was racing them in Surf Lifesaving competition at a national level. There's a difference between living by the sea and and living in it I guess.
11:24 LOL After having witnessed the captain do every possible thing wrong and completely filling the boat with water, the passenger decides to take action 🤣
It's unbelievable. PFDs are a must. Can't believe almost no one was wearing them. I don't care if you're Michael Phelps or Poseidon himself, wear a PFD. Pretty hard to swim if you are unconscious, have broken ribs, or anything else, much less is such gnarly water.
In my home state, you would be facing heavy fines for anyone under 18 not wearing a PFD on a boat, and there’s always a patrol boat checking to make sure they do!
I wonder arent life jackets mandatory in the US (guess they aren't, judging by the video). Here you can get a hefty fine for sailing out without a life jacket on...
@@eesti919 Yes, Life Jackets are mandatory in the U.S.,,, They will FINE you butt if they catch you in a boat with No Life Jackets to Match the Amount of people on board.......
A totally great video on what not to do on a boat. Recently seen a body recovery from the beach side there. People don't realize that when the bow is stuffed, you have a barrels worth of water coming at you about 20. A barrel weighs 550 pounds and while I can set one up by myself, I ain't going to do a good job stopping one rolling down the hill.
and bailing with a 12 - 16oz cup wont do shit the "captain" didn't even have Bilge pump on, not until recovery got there. a bit more speed would have helped in all cases
@@madmax4191 Bilge pumps are always mounted in the aft end of a boat. . Sinking from the head is most dangerous because water can't reach the sump or bilge, naturally. Common sense.
It actually hurt's to see so much bad seamanship, not only the wrongdooers but you often see big yachts going in at high speed pushing up big waves and don"t care what they do to the other boats!
Half drowning people are worried if they'll capture it in focus it for Facebook or IM: "LoL! Look at me off the boat in a highly trafficked water way, I'm just so clumsy funny like that!" *painful roll eyes at people on/off boats*
I know this video is from two years ago but as I sit here...attempting to eat, I realized I stopped my fork half-way to yell at the 2nd boat..WHERE ARE YOU LIFE JACKETS...and then...OH NOW, you want to put on life jackets. This is insane!!!!! Then I read the comments...confidence in humans has been restored!!!!!
All perfect examples of just because you can buy a boat doesn't mean you should. I think it would be a great idea for ALL of those boat pilots, and no I don't call them Captains, should take some boating courses before trying that again.
I was just thinking similar like, You maybe can buy a boat w\4 engines but you can not buy common sense or experience.... .....well you can hire experience !
Guy driving the NorTech is a perfect example of more money than brains. That boat was capable of handling albeit tough conditions but he literally shat the bed
It’s wild to see the girl holding her phone out of the water even though she can barely breath, and then giving her phone first and nearly missing her chance to get on the jet ski
@@ChuckD59 It might bother the jet ski, but there were other boats in the area. If you tied the throwsack to a jet ski and it fouled another boat's prop.... Hope someone has a knife handy.
@@ChuckD59 the last thing you want is a floating line around a jetski in any rough water.. it will suck it up quicker than you think. Next minute the ski is on the rocks. A boat hook on the other hand....
I've never had a saltwater boat, but even on my lake runabouts, the first modification I made was to add multiple upgraded bilge pumps. You can never get rid of water too quickly!
Working as a crew member for the Swedish Sea Rescue Society (SSRS) , a volounteer organisation with 2200 crew members and more than 700 vessels around the Swedish coast , i am amazed how few people have a life jacket on ....... I could see in some of the videos they start grabbing the life jacket and even drop them in the water. Scary!
Your right, panic set in and that's all she wrote but some of the quad Mercury 450s and so on were mostly inexperienced boaters not knowing when to hit the fucking throttle and how to navigate because while rough waters prevail it wasn't impossible. People will never learn especially when IG, Twitter, Facebook applies trying to get that one viral shot so they can quit work and be a youtube content maker.
I’m so shocked about the behaviours and skills of these skippers. They all should get withdrawn the license to ride any boat. No life jackets, no understanding at all of the sea, waves and the dynamic, not even basic skills to ride a boat at all… but the worst thing is how some of them handle kids… they really belong in jail for being so in responsible
I have a boat and love to hear all the “experts” telling, more throttle, less throttle, take the waves at an angle. My experience is when the waves are huge and don’t match your boats pitch whatever you might be screwed. I’ve practiced on big waves and sometimes you just never know. One thing you can control is wearing a life jacket.
That’s true but the best advice I could give would be if you have a lake boat play with it on the lake instead of trying to go offshore boats are designed with different environments in mind
@@johnbumpus7138 what makes a "lake boat" my I/O bowrider has a better deadrise than about 1/4 the center consoles out there and a decent flare that keeps fairly dry.
I've lived in Calabash, NC and currently live in Panama City Beach, FL, and have fished and owned boats in both places, I know how rough inlet mouths can get, and I can tell you this: The problem is not the boats but the captains. If you're too ignorant, too drunk, too full of pride, or just too bloody stupid to realize that, when you're in a small boat - especially an open boat - and the head seas get that bad it's time to make a change of plans and stay in the bay, ESPECIALLY when you're hauling kids, you have no business with a boat. BONUS POINTS FOR STUPIDITY: If you're going to try it anyway, be sure and don't insist everyone put on life jackets and warn them to get a good grip FIRST before hitting the rough water. What the **** were these people thinking! Oh, they weren't, were they?
Nothing more worrying than seeing a boat full of kids/family...........clearly taking on water & some idiot trying to scoop water out with his hands. No lifejackets. No pump. Not even a bloody bucket!
10:02 ..like that's gonna get the water out in a hurry 10:29 11:18...that captain needs to go on a weight loss plan yesterday...that boat's about to become a submarine 11:39 imagine if they said they voted for Biden, would of become a sinker for sure
In an infamous passage the lack of lifejackets is insane! You think they'd have their kids in life jackets before they went out at the very least! At 9:55 when he opened the locker and the life jackets were all swept over the side, except one he grabbed for himself, maybe, just maybe, he'll remember next time to put them on before heading out!
Watching from Australia. These videos always blow my mind. The incredible amount of money here is insane. But what stands out the most is the sheer stupidity. Don't get me wrong, we have plenty of stupid people as well, but that mix of dollars and no sense is truly remarkable.
I’m stunned by the judgement of these “captains”. No matter who is on board, the captain is responsible for the life and safety of everyone in their charge.
i may be wrong, but i would just pull the throttle all the way back. kick it in gear to keep position as to not take one broadside , but just let the current do the job. seems like it hauls ass through there. i never understand why people think full throttle is the answer to a panic-driven situation. the skippers dont like seeing their other crewmembers get airborn and immediately think "gotta get away from the dangerous chop" lol just sloooowwwww down.
Every adult can figure out that big waves and small boats dont work. If youre stupid enough to go out its on you. The only ones i feel sorry for are the kids and the 1 dog
The first person in the video that fell in the water cared more about her phone than her actual life. It honestly looked like the parents didn’t even notice she fell in those dangerous waters or even cared for her. Too much ignorance in one video.
I'm an open water swimmer ( sport of swimming in the sea , damns ) , and just for looking I can see that many of those people in the boats cannot swim, or not used to swim in the sea or rough waters. No life jackets, nothing. This is irresponsible from the captain/ boat owner.
@@slothmarathonpromotions2470 No. Where I swim the waters don't have aggressive sharks, just sand sharks (the biggest living near the ocean floor) and small ones. You should be more worried about jellyfish.
@@NoTengoIlusiones Yes born and raised in Newfoundland and learned to swim in the sea, we just worried about the jellyfish especially the dark purple and red ones and the people in these videos are idiots !
I think the first girl who fell over was at the very least very comfortable in rough waters. She held her composure and seemed to have no difficulty controlling her breathe.
Yeah! When you ask the women (sitting in the bow holding a glass of champagne): It's all HIS fault. If he (my husband) would just drive the boat nicely, nothing would have happened...
Happy to see that young girl in the first clip was rescued. You always see her falling off the boat, but I never knew what happened. That has got to be one of the most terrifying things ever.
It's always interesting to see the passengers faces go from smiles to total terror when the boats start taking on massive amounts of water and the clueless pilots keep plowing ahead.
@@Mr.McWatson lift up the front of the boat by moving people to the stern and accelerate while adjusting the trim to get the bow higher while accelerating. don’t stop moving
@@mach275 so like essentially 'wheelie' the front over the waves? Wouldn't that cause the boat to launch almost vertical when hitting some bigger waves?
@@Mr.McWatson then give it less gas if it gets to vertical which idk i’d definitely see the wave coming so i can ease off the throttle as your peaking up the wave. but with the trim angle + acceleration the bow should stay up high. always check the forecast before heading out. slow down if it gets to choppy or if the boat starts to slam back down too much and quickly find a line in between the waves where you can give it gas and book it straight or sideways with the waves/chops into calmer water. if there is any lol. i’m more experienced on the river then ocean. the one time i took out the river boat into ocean i slowed down too fast and a wave came in crashing over the top of boat and filled up the boat with gallons of water. the automatic bilge pump kicked in and we all freaked out and eased back to the bay.
I grew up in a fishing village and my father was a nuclear submarine captain. Friends fathers went out to sea and never returned. My dad had a little prayer on the mantel in our living room: "Oh, God, thy sea is so great and my boat is so small."
Oh shit, If you don't mind me asking, where did this happen ? And after witnessing what your friends went through with their parents missing at sea, I'm sure you were a nervous wreck when your dad worked on his sub. How long would he stay gone for?
We love watching your videos. My wife and I can't believe how people don't wear life jackets especially in those conditions. Even the kids, I always made my kids wear life jackets.
What makes a great captain? Its knowing the limitation of your vessel, current conditions, your skill set, and safety of all on board. Amazed no one was seriously injured, but happy to see rescue vessels nearby. That would be a personal red flag for me to see emergency vessels hanging out in an area that looks ominous. Definitely a good starting video for any boater safety coarse. Fun day is going out and coming back with everything you left with (people, vessel, equipment, and of coarse all trash to be disposed of on land).
I love how some of the people just keep doing the same thing after they turn their boats into submarines. They seem determined to keep plunging harder into every subsequent swell.
How can these people have such beautiful expensive boats and not know how to operate them its insane. I hope nobody was seriously injured in this video.
Well it's very easy to understand that although you make a lot of money and you might be book smart you still can be dumber than a tree stop when it comes to common sense
My pops was a quartermaster in the navy, spent tons of times in boats with him, never really understood why or how good he was at navigating waves like this till I watched this channel lol 😅😂
After watching people do dumb things at haulover, I have come to the following conclusion. There is quite a few people with a lot more money than brains.
How foolish can people be by putting families, friends, kids and pets in such danger. There’s always tomorrow or the following weekend. I’m surprised the guy that went overboard could make it to the rocks. I’m glad everyone was able to get out of these situations okay. Hi from Oregon 🤚🏻
What you fail to realize, sir, IS THAT this is opulence at its most idiotic. To call any of these operators Captain,.. is a total disrespect for the term. These are simply people with too much money and no idea of how the Natural Universe works. In my humble opinion, Nature is thinning them out.... HA!
I'm from Florida and boat, I'm sure a lot of people that aren't from down here and aren't used to this type of thing are probably pretty freaked out. I promise you everybody that I go to disappearing island with or go out an inlet with is more than comfortable being in the water for a few minutes. But this captain does suck.
For all those that think you just gotta speed up, you're just as daft as these fools in the video. Boat length, engine capabilities, wave height and distance between troughs all need to be considered continuously. Slowing down can be the answer in many cases. Know your boats capabilities, how to trim and when, and know when to stay in port.
Hit those waves at an angle and let the boat roll a little. If you notice, when they get to the turn, they stuff much less. It's those head on fools that keep sinking them.
I live near the mouth of the Columbia. I have seen everything imaginable trying to cross the bar into the pacific. Only difference is, here, the water is about 40 to 50 deg most of the year. People as a whole are stupid....
Never stay in port! The rougher it is, the more fun and challenging it is..... but you have to be sober and know what the hell you are doing. Know when to accelerate and when not to. Know when to put the weight towards the back and not all at the front, especially the big fat people. And that little 100gph bilge pump just isn't gonna pump out that 100 gallons of water before the next 100 and then the next 100. That old dude didn't want to put his beer down long enough to pick his wife up off the deck did he lol.
Totally, And some days you're just gonna eat it No matter what you do. My inlet is Ponce nowhere near this rough. But we have disappearing island which is different type of hazzard People just want to get drunk and get in a fight and then all of the sudden a day at the beach will break out.( Terrifying)
Also is there a better spot in the channel to cross. You think they would find the point of least resistance. It’s like all the dummies trying to prove how little they know about boating and the ocean. I see plenty of people with expensive boats with no knowledge of how to operate them.
i don't know anything about boating but this damn near made me cry. those are little children. if they do get washed overboard - and i can't believe they aren't frightened anyway - isn't there some danger of them being got by the qroqellor? (key not working. it's the other way round!)
This makes me feel like the only captain that requires everyone to wear, at a minimum, an inflatable PFD. Its cheap and those are your kids shooting out like pop-tarts!
This is florida... people don't think down here lol. Whether they are boating, driving cars, or flying their planes... the brains aren't working at full capacity here
Irresponsible parenting for sure!! All it takes is for one of those kids to cracked her skull open and they could go under the water and die without being found.
While I enjoyed this video, it was so frustrating to see children in the bow of the boats without any life jackets on! One wrong move and the kid goes overboard. As others have said already, such carelessness should be criminal.
I love these channels, but honestly I usually avoid this compilation, because I view some of those as child endangerment (and passenger endangerment 😉) more than entertainment. And several of these folks are receiving occult spinal injuries as well. Still a loyal fan of the channel but very frustrating to safe boaters.
Not just thrown overboard, but violently smacked around in the process. If a child (or an adult for that fact) gets knocked unconcious from a hitting their head while being tossed out, they could easily drown before help could get to them.
You never see anyone in a PFD in these videos, not even the kids. I’ve watched 100s of them and could count on two fingers how many times I’ve seen a child in a PFD. And they love to send the kids up front every time, at the worst time. Sadly, it’ll probably take the death of a kid before anything changes. I live on the ocean and you’d NEVER see kids without one on, and if you did everyone around would say something.
You can trim to bring up the bow if you're going slow. But absolutely no one should be in the bow. Not to mention it's so unpleasant in chop. Bumpy and water in your face. Bowriders are not for that type of water. Some of those boats were over capacity
@@stuffylamb3420you can feather the throttle so that at the peak of the waves your bow isn’t pointing down ready to stuff it when the boat hits the bottom of the trough of the wave.

A lot of parents should be getting jail time to doing that shit with their kids without life jackets. Adults can be responsible for the own stupid action but to endanger the children is criminal.
We agree with you Tom. We see too many kids put in dangerous scenarios unfortunately.
It's not just kids, what about the adults like the chick that went over the side. They probably have zero boating experience and trust the skipper, who clearly has zero boating experience or skills.
I think who ever is operating the boat and letting children ride in the bow in those type of seas should be taken out and horse whipped.
@@WavyBoats Yeah I know, freedom and stuff but there really needs to be a regulation in the US similar to here in OZ where when crossing a nominated bar PFDs are required for all.
There shouldn't be a need but like here, people "hazz teh dumb" and obviously don't have the sense to take such precautions without being forced to. There also needs to be stricter regulation of existing statutes, create a wake at Black Point and you are toast but do whatever you like on the bars.
Totally agree, worlds most dangerous inlet and not one life jacket? Unbelievable
I am absolutely SHOOK @ the ignorance of not only the Captain’s but the parents letting anyone, but most importantly small children ride in these vessels with no life protection!! Should be criminal!!
It'll get you a decent fine here in Michigan at the least, and that's just on lakes. People more concerned with how they look and overestimating their abilities don't want to wear a vest because it isn't 'cool' or whatever.
Im in Australia and it is the law to where a pfd when crossing a bar

8:30 is just ridiculous. They know someone has fallen overboard, they can't see where he is, and they are powering over the waves and smacking down potentially right on top of him. No way they could have seen him if he was right in front of them. Gave me chills just watching it.
That is probably the most dangerously stupid video of all the ones in this - it was a high bar already, and they went well over it.
ironically wearing an 'ocean rescue' shirt
These are the worst friends you can have. Didn't even care he went overboard without any flotation
I don't remember the outcome to take but you never see the camera focus on the swimmer. May have drowned.
Also 5:47 the f’ng idiots have an unsecured large dog in the boat 😡
Highly advised for anyone navigating Haulover to watch that.
Rule #1: keep your bow above the water, especially if you have an open bow.
Rule #2: make sure your boat is suitable for the current conditions. Bigger waves = bigger boat.
Rule #3: "lake boats" aren't made for the ocean. Lake boats have shallow draft and downturned bows. Stay in the harbor with lake boats.
Rule #4: if you take even one wave over the bow, turn around and go back in. With each wave you're getting heavier and sinking deeper, which means the next wave will dump even more water inside your boat. It's a downward spiral, then it's too late.
Rule #5: secure all passengers before entering rough water.
Rule #6: no passengers in open bow in rough water (judgement call, based on size of vessel vs size of waves).
Rule #7: wearing floatation devices in rough water highly advised, kids especially. At the very least have them handy, and in sufficient numbers for all passengers.
Excellent boating advice
Rule #8 Don't overload your vessel.
Just because 10 people want in the boat does not mean the boat is suitable for.10 people.
Sounds reasonable. The thing is that most people aren't.
SO THE BLACK PEOPLE HAD A LAKE BOAT! LET'S KEEP IT REAL!!! LOL
Handy isn’t good enough in turbulent waters. As you know disaster can happen in a second, and then it’s too late. Especially when you have kids with you. If they land in rough water even with a PFD they still need an adult in there with them.
35 year's coastguard
This still gives me the shivers
and a bit of anger to see such fools putting their friends and family's lives in dangerous situations why can't we learn 😢
I was thinking the same
Looks like we got 5 foot swells... get up on the bow!
100% correct. Lunacy powring out at speed, lunacy allowing a passenger to lay on the foredeck in those waves and dare I say it not a sign of anyone wearing any firm of buoyancy aid or life jacket. I'm will to be no "kill cord" either...
ooo my god yes im watching this and thinking the same thing are they stupid there putting the kids and family in such danger
Absolutely! Some of these are straight up annoying! Let's go out at max capacity, little experience, let people ride in the front during this rough travel the list of ignorance is crazy!

@@keith1958able Perfect style and grace 💃

That's right, something are way to more important
I love how people who are close to losing their life are more worried about their phone getting wet. SMH
yep yep WTF
RIGHT?!?! concur with WTF?!
pelado boton
Close to losing their life? She appears to be quite capable and comfortable in the water and doesn't seem to be in any trouble at all, just like swimming in a fast river it looks way worse than it is if you are comfortable in water and a decent swimmer you know that all you need to do is relax, float, and go with it, if i fell into water holding my phone I'd also be trying to stop it getting destroyed, unless I needed to ditch the phone to swim harder of course, which is probably exactly what that girl was thinking too.
I think the same. Like they can’t buy another phone……yeah that’s what I said.
I’m on the ocean every day for around 40 years now ( with some time off for good behavior) but I’ve never seen such incompetence in boat handling in my life. No life jackets are asking to drown as well and once overboard the other boats can’t see a swimmer if they are lucky enough to be able to swim after some of these washovers.
Thats probably becuase you're around your own, Sailors.
Lots of these cats drive down south rent a boat for the weekend, invite friends and without any regard to the "Rules of the Road", let alone the respect for the power the Ocean has.
@@CMarkem you’re right about that I think. I know I went to the Caribbean a few times and rented a 40 foot catamaran and took off with my family on it. They didn’t have any idea how much I know about Boat handling fortunately since that’s what I do everything was fine, but I could’ve been a rank amateur and they would not have known. It’s amazing to have half $1 million worth of boat in your hands just on a signature. there’s trust, and then there’s just plain crazy. I think it falls in the latter category
Oh my!!! The one boat who turned around!!!! I thought he was going to slam on top of the man overboard!!! He should have stopped and waited to spot the man before moving the boat.
Yeah but their tans will be ruined🤣

"Forget me save my phone for the love of god just save my phone" 🤣
It's appalling to see so many children without life preservers on . They wouldn't stand a chance if they went overboard .
They are also breaking Florida law. There's the registration number and the video. Time for a ticket! In Florida, passengers 6 years of age and under are required to wear a Coast Guard-approved, Type I, II or III life jacket while on board any boat that is under 26 feet in length, while the boat is underway.
Most the adults wouldn't stand a chance either, especially wearing normal clothes and shoes.
I see this as a day they should have all of the water resource police boats out there issuing tickets.
@@MikeK2100 They could never issue citations fast enough to keep up with the law breakers. It's appalling how woefully inept many boat owners are.
@@gowithgid3274 It's 12 here in Australia and on a crossing of a nominated bar (of which there are about 30 in the country) every soul on board is required to wear one.
That wasn't done lightly, we had a couple of tragedies in the 80s with multiple deaths from idiots in small boats on bars. In reality tho it should simply be common sense. I own an auto inflating PFD that weighs almost nothing, is so small you don't know you have it on and cost me under 80 bucks. I wear it almost all the time on small craft.
I have grown on the water. The way these captains have everyone in the front of the boat and trimmed with the bow already nearly in the water is so upsetting, especially on some of the smaller boats. Those little boston whalers and carolina skiffs can do some amazing things, but you have to know what you are doing and somewhere like this is the wrong place to learn
Yeah it’s definitely uncomfortable to sit through these things
I can’t believe how long it takes for them to do anything about it!!The props will be out of the water and they all are just standing there
HA!
Yeah im a boat kid too
I'm new to boating. I've taken boater safety courses but nothing really discusses much about what to do in situations like these. I'm trying to watch these videos for educational purposes. Could you please explain, aside from not having that much weight in the front of the boat, what could be done to prevent or mitigate this from happening?
What to do in these situations:
1. Get the bow up! Move passengers to the stern.
2. Use the power from engine to lift the bow.
3. Tilt the engines and adjust trimflaps to get more bow lift.
And the most important, USE LIFEJACKETS AT OPEN SEA
Yeah.....but only if you want to.....react!?
He could have foreseen the upcoming adverse conditions and changed course.
Captain(s) Oblivion!!
Check the conditions before you head out! First mistake.
@@ocvegasproperty 😂😂👍
Don't go nose first against the waves maybe?
Check the weather first: better to not to go out if it's not good weather.
Ensure that everyone has jacket
Ensure that everyone is NOT standing when such waves are crossed and that everyone has solid grip to hold
If your boat is too small, don't go out, what's the fun in such roller coaster? Boat is a joy, not a pain!
5:08 Boston whaler owner here. if this ever happens in a boston whaler you can just pull the drain plugs and keep driving, since the hull is sandwiched with high strength foam, its buoyant enough to self-bilge.
In my experience, the time to put life preservers on small children is not at the dock but wait until you're in heavy waves and the bow of the boat is submarining thru the waves. Make sure all of the adults have had a few beers and just for fun overload the vessel and plow into the waves as fast as you can to insure the maximum amount of water washes over the bow.
he he he he....ahhhhhh shit, right!.........ffs
Sounds like a great day out with kids !
And make sure you are the beneficiary on your passengers life insurance.
Absolutely, I don't know what these people were thinking!
😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I grew up around the ocean and having almost drowned on 2 occasions, once as a kid and second caught in a rip tide, I have the greatest respect for water, especially waves and inlets. Even as a stronger swimmer you have to respect the ocean. Being in a boat and having no respect for the ocean is a recipe for disaster.
I was caught in a rip tide once. Thought it was the end and luckily as a strong swimmer knew to let it take me where it would and swim with it. Wound up other side of the sand bar hundreds of yards away....in the mud flats and sand spurs....and made it back to where I started out. The ocean is nothing to mess with. Was 17 at the time and am 58 today. IF I go to the beach I check the tides and make my trips based on that. Period.
A friend of mine from Maine was killed in a rip tide. Best swimmer I knew.
@@sevinnine6348 I don’t go to the beach.
Have respect.. do not be afraid.
@@sevinnine6348 I was in an almost identical situation many years ago when I was 15 - 16, surfing off the coast of Cornwall, UK I was caught in a rip tide just off the Camel estuary and ended up the other side of a large sandbar so called the "Doombar" by locals as it was regularly the doom of many vessels through the centuries. Eventually I got back to where I started but man was it scary.
So nice and refreshing to see everybody keeping it nice and safe and everybody wearing their life preservers
And not overloading the boat at all.
Nothing like a relaxing day on the water.
The fact that adults allow children on the bows without life preserves is simply amazing.
To be fair I was a vastly stronger swimmer in my youth than I am now. I can't believe they took their dog on the boat without a life vest... freaking monsters
Amazingly stupid.
@@jlo7770you vastly make me sick worrying more about a dogs safety than children's
My thoughts exactly. Everyone in every part of the boat should be wearing one in these conditions.
@@rtr8296 I vastly could care less. Just because 99% of millennial "adults" now never had a life doesn't mean the rest of us didn't. The things I did during my life.. youd try to ban.

I had been cliff diving and swimming in our oceans so much that my parents never worried about my ability to swim. If I said no life jacket they knew. If I said life jacket they knew and trusted me. Because my parents didn't sit me down infront of a TV to "learn"..

I've spent years as an ocean tour guide in large rigid hull inflatables on the coast. It amazes me that some of these boats are clearly expensive, and yet the operators don't know how to run them and are clearly put their passengers lives at risk. Either they don't have to take a safe boating course or are too arrogant to take one. It's not just the risk of swamping or having a passenger in the water without a life jacket, it's the damage you can do to someone especially if they are on the bow of the boat when a wave tosses them into the air. There are plenty of hard things to land on, like handlebars and the deck itself, or even landing hard on your tailbone or back. To put anyone in the front section of a small boat in high frequency waves is incredibly irresponsible... you can see the slingshot coming from a mile away. Also the happy faces turn to fear very quickly after the first dunking. Amazing video and very educational. Anyone travelling through that canal to the open sea should have to watch this video before being allowed to do so.
+1 to your comment. it's a more money than brains/ more pride than sense scenario.
One of the constants in life that I have noticed is that the more money a person has, the less common sense they have. I think it has to do with being hyper focused on whatever made them successful, and that ego transferring to things they don't know as well. Plus, money equals power and a twisted sort of respect from others, leading to "yes man" syndrome. They in effect never think they are wrong about anything, ever.
Alcohol is a major issue too
A couple rough waves won't take down these boats carrying 3x350s

I grew up boating with my parents and I love it. But all of college I never went out with friends. I didn’t want to be trapped on a boat with an unsafe driver. This vid is exactly why.
Same, grew up boating with my parents and even had my own boat by the time I was 12! (A little flat bottom boat for going crabbing in the marshlands).

Most of these idiots don't realize that you've got to keep the bow of the boat pointed toward the sky in these Rough Waters you can't just idle through the big waves! You've got to use the boats power properly and take each wave as it comes.
Having been in boats and on the water(North Atlantic) in small boats most of my life I'm appalled at the incompetence, lack of respect of the water, and uncaring attitude for passengers, on the part of the skippers. If they insist on showing how bad they are at boat handling they should at least put on a PFD. even if they are drunk.
Especially if they're drunk.
If you smoke pot instead, you might get there slower but it's not nearly as bad as alcohol in many ways.
Alcohol really screws up the mind, vision and balance way more than marijuana. (Assuming you don't overdo it.)

Its a Florida thing.. common sense goes out the water, most of these boat owners don't have a clue nor any training on forecast/weather or tides.
I have a boat and love to hear all the “experts” telling, more throttle, less throttle, take the waves at an angle. My experience is when the waves are huge and don’t match your boats pitch whatever you might be screwed. I’ve practiced on big waves and sometimes you just never know. One thing you can control is wearing a life jacket.
That’s true but the best advice I could give would be if you have a lake boat play with it on the lake instead of trying to go offshore boats are designed with different environments in mind
And if there is ever any doubt of the water conditions, keep the boat well under the weight capacity. Heck, keep it under capacity anyway!

@@johnbumpus7138 what makes a "lake boat" my I/O bowrider has a better deadrise than about 1/4 the center consoles out there and a decent flare that keeps fairly dry.
Absolutely correct. What does it take to put a life jacket on BEFORE a disaster? Nothing but 99.99% of these people are just muppets.
The vanishing of humtydumtu!!!...lol!!🤣🤣🤣
I've lived in Calabash, NC and currently live in Panama City Beach, FL, and have fished and owned boats in both places, I know how rough inlet mouths can get, and I can tell you this: The problem is not the boats but the captains. If you're too ignorant, too drunk, too full of pride, or just too bloody stupid to realize that, when you're in a small boat - especially an open boat - and the head seas get that bad it's time to make a change of plans and stay in the bay, ESPECIALLY when you're hauling kids, you have no business with a boat. BONUS POINTS FOR STUPIDITY: If you're going to try it anyway, be sure and don't insist everyone put on life jackets and warn them to get a good grip FIRST before hitting the rough water. What the **** were these people thinking! Oh, they weren't, were they?
Nothing more worrying than seeing a boat full of kids/family...........clearly taking on water & some idiot trying to scoop water out with his hands.
No lifejackets. No pump.
Not even a bloody bucket!

In an infamous passage the lack of lifejackets is insane! You think they'd have their kids in life jackets before they went out at the very least! At 9:55 when he opened the locker and the life jackets were all swept over the side, except one he grabbed for himself, maybe, just maybe, he'll remember next time to put them on before heading out!
Watching from Australia. These videos always blow my mind. The incredible amount of money here is insane. But what stands out the most is the sheer stupidity. Don't get me wrong, we have plenty of stupid people as well, but that mix of dollars and no sense is truly remarkable.

Yep I watch shit like this and the first thought is always “has to be American” 😂
You don't have to be smart to make money in America. It creates stupid rich people.
In Australia you have to wear life jackets .
I can’t believe the number of people in this vid. NOT wearing a life jacket!

@@woodandwheels Hello, I saw your post. My in-laws could have read your post, my husband Peter not so much. Can you send translated to English?
Really makes you wonder how all those people have made it that far in life.
Makes you wonder how they work a job that allows them to afford these things.
They may not be making it much further- lots of over confident fools!
Oh lol I’m sorry this comment made me laugh so hard 😂
Because of hospitals they live longer lol
Born rich😂
Oh the irony when you see empty lifejackets floating away from a sinking boat
I’m stunned by the judgement of these “captains”. No matter who is on board, the captain is responsible for the life and safety of everyone in their charge.
I'm watching this is awe and in complete wonderment on judgment calls here.
i may be wrong, but i would just pull the throttle all the way back. kick it in gear to keep position as to not take one broadside , but just let the current do the job. seems like it hauls ass through there. i never understand why people think full throttle is the answer to a panic-driven situation. the skippers dont like seeing their other crewmembers get airborn and immediately think "gotta get away from the dangerous chop" lol just sloooowwwww down.
@@SeanCulver1 and you sir will never be a RUclips “star”!!!
Every adult can figure out that big waves and small boats dont work. If youre stupid enough to go out its on you. The only ones i feel sorry for are the kids and the 1 dog
@@deaninchina01 sarcasm? hope so lol
Captain yells out all kids, young chicks and Grandma to the bow of the boat ! Nah you don't need a life preservers until we sink.
The first person in the video that fell in the water cared more about her phone than her actual life. It honestly looked like the parents didn’t even notice she fell in those dangerous waters or even cared for her. Too much ignorance in one video.
Hi how r u percy.
On the other hand, she seem pretty calm and in control of the situation.
She wasnt in danger lol
I can tell you've never fell off a boat in your life LOL
I was wishing that guy on the jet ski saved that airheads precious cell phone and took off actually. Clown ass.
I'm an open water swimmer ( sport of swimming in the sea , damns ) , and just for looking I can see that many of those people in the boats cannot swim, or not used to swim in the sea or rough waters. No life jackets, nothing. This is irresponsible from the captain/ boat owner.
Are you ever concerned about sharks when swimming in open water?
@@slothmarathonpromotions2470 No. Where I swim the waters don't have aggressive sharks, just sand sharks (the biggest living near the ocean floor) and small ones. You should be more worried about jellyfish.
@@NoTengoIlusiones Yes born and raised in Newfoundland and learned to swim in the sea, we just worried about the jellyfish especially the dark purple and red ones and the people in these videos are idiots !
I think the first girl who fell over was at the very least very comfortable in rough waters. She held her composure and seemed to have no difficulty controlling her breathe.
What causes this ? Is it speed or they just the vessel being too small for rough seas.
It's always helpful when a woman screams as loud as she can repeatedly, makes the kids at ease and makes the captains job much easier.
👍 😄
Yeah! When you ask the women (sitting in the bow holding a glass of champagne): It's all HIS fault. If he (my husband) would just drive the boat nicely, nothing would have happened...
When there is a disaster. Why do they say women and children go first? So the men can have some peace and quiet to think of a answer.🤔😏
I had read your comment before getting to that spot and thought I had missed her….. until I heard her 😅😂
The Husband, the wife, the kids and the boat should be at home.
The fact anyone goes there is amazing especially in a small boat
Happy to see that young girl in the first clip was rescued. You always see her falling off the boat, but I never knew what happened. That has got to be one of the most terrifying things ever.
Great to see her priorities were to get her phone to the rescuer, before her.
@@rakov1 ohhh haha yes i just came to the comments to point that as well.
no your wrong she wanted to make sure she did not loose her cell signal ,, LOL@@JohnDoe-du3vq
@@rakov1 It's quite obvious she is a very strong swimmer and quite comfortable being in the water. I wouldn't worry about what her priorities were

It's always interesting to see the passengers faces go from smiles to total terror when the boats start taking on massive amounts of water and the clueless pilots keep plowing ahead.
Good observation. And it happens fast
I'm not a boat person. What should the pilot do when it takes water or it gets rough?
@@Mr.McWatson lift up the front of the boat by moving people to the stern and accelerate while adjusting the trim to get the bow higher while accelerating. don’t stop moving
@@mach275 so like essentially 'wheelie' the front over the waves? Wouldn't that cause the boat to launch almost vertical when hitting some bigger waves?
@@Mr.McWatson then give it less gas if it gets to vertical which idk i’d definitely see the wave coming so i can ease off the throttle as your peaking up the wave. but with the trim angle + acceleration the bow should stay up high. always check the forecast before heading out. slow down if it gets to choppy or if the boat starts to slam back down too much and quickly find a line in between the waves where you can give it gas and book it straight or sideways with the waves/chops into calmer water. if there is any lol. i’m more experienced on the river then ocean. the one time i took out the river boat into ocean i slowed down too fast and a wave came in crashing over the top of boat and filled up the boat with gallons of water. the automatic bilge pump kicked in and we all freaked out and eased back to the bay.
I grew up in a fishing village and my father was a nuclear submarine captain. Friends fathers went out to sea and never returned. My dad had a little prayer on the mantel in our living room: "Oh, God, thy sea is so great and my boat is so small."
Oh shit, If you don't mind me asking, where did this happen ? And after witnessing what your friends went through with their parents missing at sea, I'm sure you were a nervous wreck when your dad worked on his sub.
How long would he stay gone for?
I grew up in Mystic, CT and the sub base was nearby in Groton.@@jenniferwilliams9548
How in he'll nature adept a submin so far velocity. Nstire
Great content !
We love watching your videos. My wife and I can't believe how people don't wear life jackets especially in those conditions. Even the kids, I always made my kids wear life jackets.

I guess like gun laws...
@@Vool2go Yep!
Master chef dud n I t. But snar when use kufe hack bad we atger
What makes a great captain? Its knowing the limitation of your vessel, current conditions, your skill set, and safety of all on board. Amazed no one was seriously injured, but happy to see rescue vessels nearby. That would be a personal red flag for me to see emergency vessels hanging out in an area that looks ominous. Definitely a good starting video for any boater safety coarse. Fun day is going out and coming back with everything you left with (people, vessel, equipment, and of coarse all trash to be disposed of on land).
and who is holding on to the poor dog?
& recycled. Can't forget about recycling to save the oceans.
14:15.... those screams are brutal. Someone got hurt bad on that one
I love the guy trying with one cup to get the water out 🤣🤣
11:14 he put on that life jacket like 3 times already 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
I love how some of the people just keep doing the same thing after they turn their boats into submarines. They seem determined to keep plunging harder into every subsequent swell.
How can these people have such beautiful expensive boats and not know how to operate them its insane. I hope nobody was seriously injured in this video.
Well it's very easy to understand that although you make a lot of money and you might be book smart you still can be dumber than a tree stop when it comes to common sense
Easy bank loans
More money than intelligence.. It happens
More money than brains!
Lit
My pops was a quartermaster in the navy, spent tons of times in boats with him, never really understood why or how good he was at navigating waves like this till I watched this channel lol 😅😂
A little less of an attitude that seems to want to defeat the weather conditions.
Mistake after mistake. Amazing.
After watching people do dumb things at haulover, I have come to the following conclusion. There is quite a few people with a lot more money than brains.
If these "captains" had 14 cents they would still have more money than brains.
Moar dollars than sense!
That is the core of the problem. You nailed it!
Money was never a sign of brains... it can actually trend the other way around...
yeah and the lowly suffers....... :((
How foolish can people be by putting families, friends, kids and pets in such danger. There’s always tomorrow or the following weekend. I’m surprised the guy that went overboard could make it to the rocks. I’m glad everyone was able to get out of these situations okay. Hi from Oregon 🤚🏻
I even saw a dog in one of the clips 5:05. That has to constitute animal abuse or at least neglect.
What you fail to realize, sir, IS THAT this is opulence at its most idiotic. To call any of these operators Captain,.. is a total disrespect for the term. These are simply people with too much money and no idea of how the Natural Universe works. In my humble opinion, Nature is thinning them out.... HA!
That girl that fell in the water had the, I'd rather drown than lose my phone mentality.
I like how the people she was with were like "Screw her! She belongs to waves now" and just sailed off
She was obviously very comfortable in water and a excellent swimmer. Only phone was in danger.
Tbh l think she was using so they could see her .🤷
I'm from Florida and boat, I'm sure a lot of people that aren't from down here and aren't used to this type of thing are probably pretty freaked out. I promise you everybody that I go to disappearing island with or go out an inlet with is more than comfortable being in the water for a few minutes. But this captain does suck.
she was in the water taking a selfie!
Not the stupidest video I have ever watched. No wait, I changed my mind at the 11:50 mark.
I’ve never driven a boat in my life and still my first reaction to this video was “Do these people have no respect for the sea??” 🤯
Quite obvious isn't it ?
@@RandySeverino stg im 13 and could have done something smarter. Not go out in a 4 ft chop lol
”What could the captain done differently?”
Stayed at home.
Shoved his money up his ass instead of buying a boat
For all those that think you just gotta speed up, you're just as daft as these fools in the video. Boat length, engine capabilities, wave height and distance between troughs all need to be considered continuously. Slowing down can be the answer in many cases. Know your boats capabilities, how to trim and when, and know when to stay in port.
Hit those waves at an angle and let the boat roll a little. If you notice, when they get to the turn, they stuff much less. It's those head on fools that keep sinking them.
I live near the mouth of the Columbia. I have seen everything imaginable trying to cross the bar into the pacific. Only difference is, here, the water is about 40 to 50 deg most of the year. People as a whole are stupid....
Never stay in port! The rougher it is, the more fun and challenging it is..... but you have to be sober and know what the hell you are doing. Know when to accelerate and when not to. Know when to put the weight towards the back and not all at the front, especially the big fat people. And that little 100gph bilge pump just isn't gonna pump out that 100 gallons of water before the next 100 and then the next 100.
That old dude didn't want to put his beer down long enough to pick his wife up off the deck did he lol.
Totally, And some days you're just gonna eat it No matter what you do. My inlet is Ponce nowhere near this rough. But we have disappearing island which is different type of hazzard People just want to get drunk and get in a fight and then all of the sudden a day at the beach will break out.( Terrifying)
Also is there a better spot in the channel to cross. You think they would find the point of least resistance. It’s like all the dummies trying to prove how little they know about boating and the ocean. I see plenty of people with expensive boats with no knowledge of how to operate them.
Boat will be taking on water, but still headed out to sea lmao! Then start looking for jackets, and cup the water out
In my entire life of boating I have never seen such fools driving boats. It’s unbelievable not only in inlets like this but in all boating areas.
I didn't know the Darwin Awards was holding open competitions, lol!
From Florida. The bigger the wallet .....the bigger the boat. Semanshit not required😉⛵
i don't know anything about boating but this damn near made me cry. those are little children. if they do get washed overboard - and i can't believe they aren't frightened anyway - isn't there some danger of them being got by the qroqellor? (key not working. it's the other way round!)
You should see what it looks like in Long Island when it’s really crowded in the summer time.
The lake boats curve down in the front. Not the rig you want in this washing machine.

The incompetence of alot of these captains is appalling when you have a boat load of people in a small boat.
blacks are not very bright ppl
I see these are all very responsible and Experienced boat captains.
This makes me feel like the only captain that requires everyone to wear, at a minimum, an inflatable PFD. Its cheap and those are your kids shooting out like pop-tarts!
I know it drives me insane watching this. I always say if the worst happens it's easier to get them from the top of the ocean than the bottom
This is florida... people don't think down here lol. Whether they are boating, driving cars, or flying their planes... the brains aren't working at full capacity here
Pop Tarts! I agree and thanks for the chuckle to break me out of the sheer frustration!
@1:27 That driver should be taken out of the gene pool. What a moron
Irresponsible parenting for sure!! All it takes is for one of those kids to cracked her skull open and they could go under the water and die without being found.
While I enjoyed this video, it was so frustrating to see children in the bow of the boats without any life jackets on! One wrong move and the kid goes overboard. As others have said already, such carelessness should be criminal.
I love these channels, but honestly I usually avoid this compilation, because I view some of those as child endangerment (and passenger endangerment 😉) more than entertainment.
And several of these folks are receiving occult spinal injuries as well.
Still a loyal fan of the channel but very frustrating to safe boaters.
Not just thrown overboard, but violently smacked around in the process. If a child (or an adult for that fact) gets knocked unconcious from a hitting their head while being tossed out, they could easily drown before help could get to them.
@@markdonnelly1913 amen.
I believe it is, I never see fwc or sheriff's unit around.
You never see anyone in a PFD in these videos, not even the kids. I’ve watched 100s of them and could count on two fingers how many times I’ve seen a child in a PFD. And they love to send the kids up front every time, at the worst time. Sadly, it’ll probably take the death of a kid before anything changes. I live on the ocean and you’d NEVER see kids without one on, and if you did everyone around would say something.
The amount of anger I have for these situations. 90% of these would be easily addressed throttle control and weight displacement.
Its hilarious how many of them do the exact wrong thing at the exact right moments
How would you throttle? Idk but am curious
@@stuffylamb3420 More throttle - bow comes up. Less, it comes down. Balancing the throttle and speed is key here.
You can trim to bring up the bow if you're going slow. But absolutely no one should be in the bow. Not to mention it's so unpleasant in chop. Bumpy and water in your face. Bowriders are not for that type of water. Some of those boats were over capacity
@@stuffylamb3420you can feather the throttle so that at the peak of the waves your bow isn’t pointing down ready to stuff it when the boat hits the bottom of the trough of the wave.
