Which Tow Boat Captain had the rights to this salvage considering no contracts with either? Also let us know where you are watching from? 🌎
Virginia
Itow did more of the work.tus mostly just talked on his cell phone. So I concur with the triumphant 💪 ... Bet he left scuff marks on that 'spensive yacht
I'm in Alaska and used to skipper a long line halibut fishing boat. Hate to jump to conclusions without all the information but it did look like the green boat was giving actual service by removing water from the yacht. By what the video shows the red boats did little more than show up. Unless there is more to it i say the win goes itowboats and of course the Sunny Isle P.D. for getting passengers safely to shore.
From Madrid Spain hello everyone!!
Red
ITowboats earned it by taking immediate action.
I agree, he showed up and immediately went to work trying to save the boat. The other guy just wanted to get paid to drag it back in, no interest in anything other than getting paid!
That’s not how it works. Towboatusa was on the scene first.
@J technically with no contract would it not matter?
@@rare_name420 technically it doesn’t matter you could have 20 boats pull up and fight for it lol it’s about respect and etiquette tho
@@GrabbaBeer fair enough, makes sense.
iTowboats arrived on scene and took action like a boss to save the vessel from going down.
I'm sure both companies are good at what they do but the winner was the Captain taking immediate action...the man with a plan!
💯💯💯✌️
He also didn't almost drive through the yachts front window.
And the PD ferried the passengers. Heroes.
@@droneon3194 just a bump to test bouyancy of the craft
I agree, showed up and went straight into action and started getting stuff done immediately. He knew his job, and done it perfectly. Huge props to that guy IMO.
The red boat was there 1st, but didn't do squat (other than ram the boat). The green one started the process of water removal to save the boat (& passengers by stopping the boat from full sinking), he also dove under the boat to check the problem. While "showing up is half the battle", you have to participate to win! The green boat gets paid.
The red boat was SS Californian. The green boat was RMS Carpathia.
Green tow cap take quick action
LOL🤣 seriously, that idiot needs to get fired, he was supposed to arrive from behind the Deanm boat to load people onboard. he could have loaded everyone in less than 5 minutes.
You paid for a membership. you are not going To let another towing do the job.
Great video. I am a retired salvage master with 40 years experience, I owed a fleet of salvage boats. Every boat I owned had pumps on them. All my captains were skilled boat mechanics as well as skilled operators with extensive salvage and hazmat training. The Boat US services were lacking in any meaningful assistance. Clearly the vessel pumped the vessel dry saved it from sinking. And owned the senior tights to a salvage claim. But the other vessels that responded were just as much restricted in their ability to respond to other work as the one that was pumping the vessel and as such also have a legal claim. The fifth district court of appeals made that into law many years ago. So they all have a claim just not equal ones.
People don;t know that doing a great job on a salvage is only half the battle the rest is fighting for payment from the insurance companies. Salvors have a right to a percentage of what they save but getting that takes a legal battle that many can't afford and the insurance companies know that and take advantage of it.
Of note is that all boats are supposed to have a sea cock on all though hulls. As such the crew of the vessel should have been able to stabilize the intrusion without the help of a salvage service other than a tow. That said most boaters lack many basic skills. A simple trick to stop water is with the use of a toilet bowl wax ring. Just cram the wax into the hose or fitting, works great.
That wax ring trick is genius. , its saved my ass before. (I work on a fishing trawler in eastern canada, and I'm the unofficial mechanic) honestly I just work really well under pressure lol
This is a great comment. Do you recommend salvors to record during this whole process? Would recording help them get their claim easier or possibly a larger percentage? FYI I am just an uniformed midwesterner, honestly curious.
@@theoriginalkeysto did you have a wax ring on hand or did you have to uninstall the toilet in an emergency? lol
@@biggabenne you don't want to know.
Seacocks were the first thing I though when they said the hose was blown. Knowing where every through hull is and how to close it is just as important as knowing where the fire extinguishers are.
Itowboats 100% earned that. The other captain came in way too hot, rammed the customers multimillion dollar vessel and then stood around while another company swooped in to take over 🤣 I know I definitely would've rathered give my money to the person that went straight to work without giving the situation any time to get worse 🙏
It's a POS SeaRay.
@@jeffrandolf5673 Got something better, do you?
@@jeffrandolf5673 show us your boat.
@@lostinlox 2017 Hatteras GT70.
@@jeffrandolf5673 Mate, that boat of yours is so lame. I bet you catch your fish at Walmart.
TowboatUS cap rolled up first, but didn’t do anything except bounce off the port side. Second cap rolls up, has the pump and starts getting to work. He who gets to work first gets the worm IMO
Second mouse gets the cheese! 😂
This seems to be the popular sentiment in the comments. Can't say I disagree. 👍
^^This^^
maritime rules.. whichever towboat gets a line on first , can claim.
@@markcarter3552 I understand the logic behind this but, a towboat with a rope and no pump, is useless. A towboat with a rope and a pump, with a million dollar boat sinking?? Fvck your logic and your rules, I want my boat pumped as fast as humanly fvcking possible. A gun without a bullet is just a paper weight.
iTow is BOSS! As an owner who has experienced a heartbreak like this...I would have LOVED to have had iTow available! Those timely reflexes can save an owner from years of heartache and millions in loss. He had every right to FLEX! ..........MY MAN! 😝💪
Loved the He-Man pose off the back deck claiming victory!
CLASSIC!!! A little over the top but I'm sure is was a great stress reducer.
Humor is the best medicine as they say!
Hahaha loved the big flex at the end! He earned that tow for sure. I’d be pissed if a tow boat hit my yacht.
His company should rename itself to “iShowboat” after that display!
;That was pure incompetence. He rammed a porthole with his bow. That could easily have caused damage at the speed he hit it. Pure Jackass.
It's up to the owner of the disabled yacht who tows him in.
As far as who's more competent, I'd go with the second boat that arrived, he took immediate action getting a pump on board, and he jumped in and inspected the hull.
The other guy was a Clown bumping into the boar several times.
What's he think whoever tags it first has it ?
Yes, completely unprofessional. And you don't own a yacht so...
@@olbuck It’s a rhib, not gonna cause damage from a little bump. Adults cry way too easily
TowboatUS looked like they showed up to watch it sink! The itowboats guy was there to work!
They think they can get more money that way. We at iTowBoats want to save the people and the vessel as soon as possible. Lives first money later
Yeah that was really bizarre. Literally just showed up and then sat there 😂 and the police kicked them out of the way for being useless
@@biscaynesalvage - After having been in business for nearly four decades myself doing independent contract work - I can say with confidence that, after watching this, I know who I would call if my rig starts taking green water in the Eff El Ay area. Well done, and great work ethic. That’s how to get it done… and get paid. Cheers.
TowBoatUS looked like they showed to try to expedite sinking.
@@biscaynesalvage smart to hand over the hose. I was upset that almost all the passengers believed they could walk on the water; Sarcasim for no PFD's when they threw the women overboard at the start.
Same thing happened to me on my schooner. The hose to the engine water pump came off and I didn't notice it until the boat started feeling "sluggish" and I felt little air puffs coming up through the floorboards. I checked the bilge and it was a bit over half-full of seawater, so that sent me on a manic sprint to the engine room. Luckily, the water was still far below the diesel, so I fixed the hose and helped the "overwhelmed" electric bilge pump with the manual Whale "Gusher 30" (30 gpm manual lever diaphragm pump). Didn't take long to get things working right again. After that, I installed a float switch buzzer alarm about half-way up the bilge pocket so I'd have an 'early' warning next time something like that happens.
good idea; *i had that wired to the horn when the boat stayed at the marinas...*
Great idea thanks so much
I'm "downsizing" from the 53-foot steel schooner to a 25-foot Westerly Centaur that I sailed about 12-15 years ago. It's been in my barnyard as a "project" ever since and now I'm working out how I want to refit it. It's a 48 year old boat and I'm a 68 year old sailor, so we'll be "age compatable," I guess. I plan to install one or two electric bilge pumps, but will also have a Whale Gusher 30 or a Gusher 10 fitted and plumbed through a cockpit locker to the bilge so that it can be operated by me from the helm if I have to dewater the boat while still sailing if some kind of accident or disaster happens that the electric pumps won't work. I'll also have a 36-inch (stroke) West Marine style bilge pump as well. @@dimitriacrosse2468
If it wasn’t for itowboats that yacht would be at the bottom of the ocean right now lol
What an EPIC episode! Great job filming it. That 800mm shot was ROCK SOLID!
yeah... *EPIC* bruh.
Gotta agree there, very steady for such a long lens.
@@marvindebot3264Tripods doing the heavy lifting on that steadiness
😅
@@AmeriMutt76 Mate on that long a shot even on a tripod it can be difficult. But yeah, obviously not hand held.
I just wanna know what kind of camera it is. That is pretty good if its just on the stock lens.
800mm zoom shot was amazing!
Thank you for a great video. I agree with most of the other viewers. I cannot add anything different. Great rescue. I am a ex Navy guy and a boat owner in my younger years. I can sympathize with the people involved in this rescue. Thank you again and keep them coming.
ITowBoats FTW. He immediately got a pump hose up. HE saved that boat. He even went so far as to go under and see if he could find the problem.
I don’t know what the protocol is, but that first guy seemed to have no idea what to do. The second guy got right to it with pumping out the boat and finding out what the problem was. He seemed to have a much better grasp of the situation and saved the boat. I’m going to go with the second tow boat. Glad no one was hurt. ☮️
I wonder if the second guy had floatation airbags and swam under to see if they were needed. The more experienced TowboatsUS captains do carry them, but in this case it seemed that the first one was panicking.
@@alancoldicott391 floatation airbags would not have saved this boat, stopping the leak and the pump prevented it from sinking, lucky they were close to shore, just goes to show how an intake hose rupture could put this huge vessel at risk like this, the crew need to do some research so they can quickly repair something like this themselves
@@geoffh4578----- Wrong :----flotation airbags could certain;y have saved it. You need enough of them, that's all---and an air pump of course.
The first, but clueless guy, showed up only to make a claim.
Maybe they will give hin $200 just to go away!
Hmmmmm.....then again, maybe not!!!
"I tagged it first!"
"I started doing something about the problem first!"
That yacht Capt had more common sense than the cap' of the Costa Concordia.
underrated comment
The lowest bar in the world.
The term Captain is a stretch in both cases.
He still in jail?
That ship has been renamed , it’s the Costa Lotta Money now 😎
TowboatUS came in hot, didn't go into action very quick. He saw a sinking ship and still nothing. Itowboats came in second but that pump was hooked up in a minute pumping out water. He went straight into action. I thought TowboatUS would have put in a second pump but I didn't see it happen. I don't see this being salved. Easy fix if it can get to a lift. Great video as always.
Itowboats definitely gets this one. He showed up with purpose and got the boat dewatering very quickly!
Good to see the crew of the yacht keeping calm and having control over the situation. Didn't look like people were in a panic.
However, that TowBoatUS guy was pathetic. He didn't jump in to do anything, and then gets upset that the other company comes along and takes over? It didn't even look like the guy on the yacht wanted his help.
Good on Itowboats. Didn't hesitate at all.
Well, between the two, I know who I'd contract with...
@@dmsasser Yeah seriously.
On another note, would be really cool if these companies did a RUclips channel and we got to see their days. Must be an interesting, exciting and competitive job.
I think the black part on the side is a window? he almost crashed into it
Great job by most
My thoughts exactly !! First, Towboats rammed into vessel. If i was the standing captain/owner, i would be pissed, sinking or not. Itowboats plp put a plan in instantly resulting yacht returning under it's own power with water pumping assist. And footage was super !! And viewing from my comfy mancave/shop from northern MN expecting 8-15" snow in next couple days.
I tow was smart enough to pump it out,inspect and find the problem and deserves this tow.Kid who was first on scene had no idea how to save this boat! Usually first on scene gets the tow,but ya gotta b ready to prevent boat from sinking if u can,or nobody will b towing b cuz the boat Will sink! Thank God the stocky kid showed up,he saved that boat!
Yep, he acted fast as can be. Minimized water damage and also prevented sinking.
In all fairness, TowBoatUS got right on his phone to ask his boss what he should do….🤣
I'd say the green boat. That Captain took control, had a plan and swiftly went into action pumping the water out of the distressed yacht. Like a boss!
We're blessed to live in a country with resources when we need help. The courage of first responders. Put their life on the line to save others.
I Tow boats earned this, im watching from the Caribbean, Good job to the Guy that runs that tow boat, Thats a real Boss right there .
First one to help (IE start pumping flooding water out) gets the save.
At least the TowBoatUS captain got a free lesson out of the deal. I hope he eventually took notes..and then went and practiced his approaches.
The boat pumping the water out is keeping it afloat 💯👍🏼
Love watching these fun boat videos
Thank you for the great video work as always Wavy! I'm loving the comments thanks for all the support ❤️ I'm the captain for iTow thankfully everyone involved was on top of it and made sure everyone was safe! I can't comment to much on the TBUS guy nothing personal
Great job as usual Capt. Bret! Your experience was really on display here and I can tell the Captain appreciated it. Thanks for the support of the channel and keep up the good work man! 🙌
Well alright Cap! Smooth and efficient. She was going quick, and you turned it around in a hurry.
Loved the flex, you earned by swooping in and TAKING ACTION, not making calls immediately!
Got you give you big Kudos Captain Bret! You got there, you had a PLAN and you executed on the plan! You saved the vessel. Well done and I really hope you got the rights to it! The other guy was just there doing nothing ...
Give that guy a raise!
The guy who took action and not on the phone with instruction on how to do the rescue, to me wins the tow! He rolled up immediately tied to the boat, got out the hose and started the pump to save the vessel. . . . WINNER>>>>>
This is one of the few channels that I have subscribed to. Your camera work, equipment, editing, and clarity, are all fantastic. Great work.
On the towboat discussion, Itowboats may have gotten there after, but he proved himself from the moment they both arrived, that he was much more competent. I’m also surprised by the number of things these little towboats and captains can do. I do didn’t look like he was in great shape at first, but then, when you see what he does for a living, and how physical the job is, he is in far better shape than most of us. haha!
Is not a race about who come first or late. You pay for a membership. I know pumping water is extra charge but less than whole job.
Thank goodness it was a calm day
Must see video. Danger, drama, conflict, and comedy (itow captain) on the high seas, with outstanding ground/air coverage; and the best boat won! Enjoyed from couch by LI Sound in CT.
Thanks for the awesome feedback! Glad you enjoyed it! 😂🙌
Pretty lucky that it was almost a dead calm day.
Itowboats FTW! Towboatus ramming the client vessel is inexcusable.
Awesome video. The dude pumping water clearly wins. God bless him
Drain plug mafia’s targets are getting larger😂😂😂
Bronco would appreciate this comment. 😂🙌
Itow getting a bigger commish from the insurance company for not allowing another oops I forgot to happen
The guy in the green tow boat came in hot with an immediate plan and parked like a boss while the red boats were still talking about whats going on after nearly going through the side of the boat 😂
Probably mentioned but the lack of anyone putting on a life jacket after calling an emergency is just astonishing to watch. Especially loading that child to travel in that tiny boat through the hazardous inlet. Father Neptune must have a far greater tolerance for the folks in their prestige boats off the Florida coast than elsewhere. He is probably just resigned to being perpetually ignored and signs of any seamanship a faint hope.
❤❤family. And. Friends. Come. First. Thank. God. For. Emergency. Response. It's. Nice too. Happy. Ended. God. Bless. Everyone. Out. There.
My dad had a similar problem on our boat when I was 17 (edit:1970). We were out fishing and as we were motoring from drop to drop the engine suddenly started to run rough and the boat was obviously taking water. We had no radio but there were dozens of boats all around us. I was blasting my emergency horn and not one single boat would stop to help us. We actually had one 40' cabin cruiser pull up along side and I told him we were taking on water and had no propulsion. I thought he would help us get to shore but his wife yelled at him to keep going and he motored off. Finally my dad, a great fixer of anything, opened up the engine compartment, examined the situation, found the intake hose that has broken off of it's fitting and with some rags shoved it back in place and held it so that I could pilot our little 19' doubled ended lapstrake converted 1940 USN launch safely to port. Hoses matter, and so do thru-hulls. Kudos to that responder who immediately tossed in the pump hose and prevented the yacht from sinking.
"...But his wife yelled at him to keep going and he motored off." I guess there was no shortage of willfully gutless weenie men terrified of upsetting their wives back then either! Glad your dad didn't fall into that category and got after it, like dads should!
Haha a $30 dollar hose almost sinks a million dollar boat
What does thru hull mean??
@@sfar3297His boat wasnt a million dollar boat tho...the one in the video yes.
Out on the ocean with no radio?! Madness.
ITowboats is fkn boss! He should have a channel of his own. He's definitely got personality as he showed in the end.
agreed!
Great coverage! As a yacht captain who has been shipwrecked in the Bahamas, I get the story. Its not first on the scene, but the first to give aid. Additionally, if a towboat shows up and you set your troubled vessel on a sandbar to keep it from going to the bottom, then its a salvage and not a tow. In this case, had the boat just lost power, it would be a tow. But, since it was taking on water and had to be evacuated, then it became a salvage. If you ever loose power, drop anchor and call for help. DO NOT put you vessel on the beach unless you have a way of fixing it and getting it back into the water. Sigh.
I'm sure the captain just paid them for the tow and pumping the water out.
So a salvage crew can get the rights to your boat in a situation like this??
Captain of the black and green boat, he was ON IT
Well, since the yacht had not been abandonned, I’d guess that “salvage rights” were not yet in effect so it was up to the captain to determine who got the work of pumping and towing. As the first “rescuer” did nothing and apparently had no pumping gear with him, he had zero claims.
Yeah, it wasn't a salvage, but I bet the yacht owner gets a $5k bill - which he will gladly pay!! I had TowboatUS insurance when I had a boat, would not have cost me anything.
@@bretlyons5855 I do not understand WHY $5K was charged by TBUS. Was that for damage when the yatch ran into the front of his boat?
If the yacht cptn PHONED TBUS, then some compensation was due. The 2nd TB boat was probably the boss to insure payment. Who else would the first TB guy be on the phone with
Dont boats of this size have at least two large bilge pumps? I didn't see any water pumping out on the sides
@@maddierosemusic I always have TowBoat US. The "Unlimited Gold" plan. It's saved me a LOT of money and given me a lot of peace of mind.
Of course it's not a salvage. Also they pump the bilge not the lower unit! The yacht owner gets to decide who gets his money.
Bumping the yacht his way of saying "Tag! Your mine!" 😂😂
Very impressed with that little Williams.
Nice to see such a quick response.
Would have loved to hear the discussion between the tow vessel skippers! 😂
Bumper boat boy: I was here first it's ours
Man with a plan: Yeah you were sittin here jerkin' yer noodle waiting for it to sink you idiot
BBB: I'm no idiot!
MWAP: We're already pumping water out and have the situation under control. Better like next time. All right then, bye bye now.
BBB: Im gonna call my boss!
MWAP: *ignores*
plot switch : they were cursing at each other in Portuguese
Finest production so far. Well done on all aspects of editing the drama and video quality.
Nice job getting it through Haulover Cut!
Women and children first. I love it. Thank you men and crew for being heroic. I honor you.
It’s jaw dropping to see how quickly this happens and for such mundane things. A hose sinks a million dollar boat.
Make sure you have good valves on your go throughs.
@@andvil01 You wouldn't believe how many yacht and sailboat captains dock their vessels for weeks and months and don't even bother to close the raw water valves. It's mind boggling. And they'll do this with 10 year old dry rotted hoses single clamped on the seacocks too.
It was astonishing and a little bit scary how low in the water the yacht got until itow started pumping it out.
@@whousley I was shocked when the boat headed back to harbor how low it was before
More these carts are really capts anyone can buy a boat but if not trained 😂😂😂
That victory flex @09:22 is everything 🤣🤣
That is some seriously high quality drone operation
Usually you’re supposed to wear a Coast Guard approved PFD when the boat starts taking on water, no matter the amount. Water does things to boats and causes things to fail, this should always be in the mind of a good and well trained captain. While white smoke does not mean fire, it is still the best thing to wear a PFD just in case anything else occurs that could injure or risk the safety of any who are aboard the vessel.
So in an emergency. Why wasn't everybody issued a life vest.
Clothes are pfd today 21 centry
And the tender was overloaded.
pfft - lifevest? I have a drink in my hand, don't bother me!!
Because it wasn’t yet an emergency.
@@Steve-jq4st Oh, so now we're armchair quarterbacking the tender capacity LMAO.... First its no life vests (the horror!!), then its thank Jesus we're getting the women and children off first (wiping tears.. very emotional - 1/2 mile offshore in near flat calm seas in sunny FL), and NOW how dare they exceed the capacity of the tender... Dear God folks, y'all need to get a life... Should we start an independent commission to research if the flares on-board the tender were expired?? Or perhaps that tender wasn't properly registered? (Sigh).....
Itowboat saved the day. The red tow boat slammed into the boat twice.
The boat captain who knew how to operate a boat, not run into one, and who also had his pump ready to go, period. Professionalism and behavior is worth a lot.
Bruh even though my boats sinking, I’m not letting anyone bump my boat like that😂
Damn, that Miami Dade Rescue boat was so far up plane it looked like it wanted to launch. :) That's some serious horsepower there.
trim is just an option
great footage
White smoke and the boat is sinking and I still do not see anyone with a life vest on. WTF? Ok steam from water getting on something hot like the exhaust manifold. It boggles my mind that people are arguing with me that "I" think if a boat is sinking people should put PFDs on.
Boat didn't sink. White smoke doesn't mean fire. I'd imagine everyone without a vest on probably can swim. Seriously?? Fn armchair quarterbacks at it again...
Captain should have had them put on the PFD's immediately - like minutes before the video started.
White smoke was probably steam from water gettin on the motor
What a baby you are
MY RIGHTS!!!!!!! 🤣😂🤣🤣🤣
Good job by the Capt using the tender to evac vulnerable passengers. Would have been even better if they all had PFD’s. Great camera coverage Wavy
Men with beer bellys don't need PFDs. If they have them, they don't close them.
@@andvil01 maybe not, but mom's carrying infants do need them. Especially on a boat transfer. One slip or trip and the infant ends up in the water.
@@sailorgabbie I was rather sarcastic. It's typical some men that think they don't need a pfd.
They are a mans man. But when they end up in the water, they are first to drown.
I wonder how the "modern women" feel about evacuating first. 🤔🤔😂😂😂🎯
@@skizztrizz4453 probably thankful that they’re no longer on a sinking boat 😐
Itowboat capt is a G. Dude got to work.
Mario Brothers bump sound ⭐💯
TowBoatUS just stood around and watched. ITowBoats landed and got right to work to save the vessel. TowBoatUS should have had the pump going by the time ITowBoats got there. ITowBoats FTW
He actually did more, he rammed--right in the window.
he showed up with no pump thats why he stood on his boat with his thumb up his ass talking to his boss on the phone "whut I do now boss?"
Wow 😮 beautiful Yaht good 👍👏👏👏👏
A rare sight. That one woman is wearing a life vest!
1:59 My man rolled up way too hot for any good purpose. Look how hard he gets jostled against the console when he hit. He was on the radio, not paying attention to running the boat. He could have broke that window… then proceeded to do nothing.
Well the ladies got their luggage and personal effects. Did I see PFDs??

Insane how much water that rescue boat pumped out. That thing has a bitching pump. Killer victory flex as well lol.
I've just arrived here after watching the Boca Inlet boat crash. There, the salvage company was charging $6,000 to tow the boat, but the owner declined their offer.
I'm not really sure how the salvage system works, but maybe (just maybe) the first captain (TowboatUS) had given the owner a price and was awaiting the answer. The second captain (iTowboats) perhaps just started without formal approval (I think) That's probably why he is celebrating at the end. He was 2nd to arrive, but won the job.
As a matter of interest, what sort of price would that job be worth .. underwater inspection, pump out and assist with the journey back to base.
Regards from the UK
Note to self: make sure the bilge pumps are working and are powerful enough. Also, don’t bring 25 people along for the ride.
Just make sure you get your annuals and have all of your thru-hulls and raw water hoses thoroughly inspected. His bilge pumps are likely the right size but they can only keep up with so much intrusion.
I am watching from Naples,Florida.I have experienced the Haulover Inlet in on a bad day on a 36' Chriscraft and went straight to the beach bar as soon as we docked.I think the towboat that first took decusive action by pumping the water out of the lower unit would deserve the Salvage rights.
Incredible how they were able to save it from going under, never knew that was possible
the captain could have saved the boat by himself but he was not qualified.
had no idea how complex the 'save the boat' biz is.
green boat captain was based af. Great job!
That tender looked surprisingly fast and stable with all those people onboard
The guys who shoot these videos are total pros!!
Boy hit ‘em with the flex 💪
My guess- the boat blew a raw water intake hose, got an overheat alarm at the wheelhouse and the captain shut down both engines. That was the steam we saw in the beginning. The itow captain probably discovered this after pumping the water down and probably just closed the valve to that engine. Then he was able to restart the 2nd engine which was probably fine. He saved the day for sure. I’m a bit surprised that the captain of that yacht didn’t make any attempt to identify and close the valve. He may have been too focused on getting everyone off. Those people all seemed so relaxed. None of them seemed to interested in finding the cause of the flooding either. None of them were probably boaters or mechanical. Great footage !
Exactly right. You hit all the key points. Itowboats and the police knew what they needed to do, yacht crew and TowboatUS seemed lost.
Sounds exactly right based on what I observed. Captain could have saved himself a lot of money by acting to save his own yacht.
enough money to buy a yacht doesnt make you a sailor.
Engine room camera is worth it in a yacht this expensive to give a heads up....
Of course if you know what to do.....
Ding,ding,ding The winner !
Likely shut off the sea cock to the ruptured line after pump down.
you might be shocked how little some boat owners know..
Love the predation here lol reminds me of how tow truck drivers fight over a tow except there's a time restriction.
Let's call them "Land Sharks" from now on !
Wow! great lens work!
Oh I would love one of those Sunseeker yachts.
Normally it’s the first vessel on the scene, which is probably why the red boat bumped first. But I believe technically it’s the first vessel to offer assistance, that would be the green boat. But ultimately I believe as long as life is not in jeopardy, it’s up to the captain of the distressed vessel, unless of course the coast guard intervenes. Just my thoughts
I believe the subject boat would have to be farther out to sea for typical no cure no pay salvage rules to be apply
Sure would have been nice to hear their conversation !
I'm sure the yacht cap can give us a word for word summary from memory!
0:46 Boat is going down, big dude is going back for snacks
1:20 Karen chooses the tote bag over a kid still on board
They must do this often
I caught that, too. "Oh, where's my purse? It's got all my make up in it, and my phone. You and your kid can get the next ride." She didn't even think of herself! (No life jacket.)
LOL saw that too. Like a shit show how many people came crawling out of that. I always wonder if there are actually people in boats lol.
I noticed that too had to rewind to make sure I saw what I was seeing. He took food alright 🙃
I saw the chunky dude in the blue shirt. Goes back in for more charcuterie
Brilliant was loving it, but laughing at the same time.
The way he rammed the yacht was nuts.
Owner was pissed off😂
Captain the best❤
4:50 How fortunate that all this happened with the yacht at a perfect camera angle for you from the jetty and close enough to shore for drone shots!
Very well done. To anyone in that situation. Immediately put Life jackets on everyone. The second tow captain was well equipped and prepared. If the TowUS had a pump and deployed it he’d have a good case to keep the salvage. You can’t tow it if it’s on the bottom.
Put as many life jackets on passangers as you have, I guess.
They can draw straws to see who gets one!
Impressive save. Well done.
Nice save by the lil boat equiped whit a pump 🙌
When the boat is sinking but not even kids wear life jackets when getting on the lifeboat!
Exactly. You and I are the only ones commenting about this. That should have been FIRST on the list of safety.
Oh believe me I ranted on the idiot Captain Idiot and his PFD-less passengers aboard a seriously loaded tender headed straight for you-know-where. I’m goddamn certain there were intoxicated crew judging from the utter lack of coordination on their part.
Towboatus captain is just talk, bumps into the vessel and watches it to sink not even rescuing passengers. Meanwhile Itowboat captian is getting to work immediatly, pumping water and inspecting the damage from under the vessel like a pro.
and flexing at the end for good measure, boat chad
He may have been trying to plug the skin fitting the burst hose was attached to. Why the seacock couldn't be closed who knows.
ITowboats for the win!! They saved the vessel and was right on it from the second they got their. They get it hands down.
