You did the best thing for their safety and yours. No one trying to get jacked on the water. They didn't want coast guard??? Wonder why....awesome vacation captain 👍👍👍
Yes I agree with you a 100% it's better to be safe out there and of course we want to help others but in a Safeway thanks for your great comment captain👍
Captain you did the right thing. You did all you could do. You cant take the risk of letting them on your boat. These days it’s far too risky. This should be a lesson for everyone in this situation. You dont know for sure that they were even broke down. They Could have been trying to steal someones boat. You did the wise thing.
Thank you Dean and I agree with you a 100% we do not know today people's intentions a 100% so we have to be careful and still try to help on a Safeway thank you for watching captain and for your great comment
Thank you Paul and yes we have to handle this situation when you alone in the middle of the ocean very carefully because we don't know the other boaters intentions they could be good but they could be bad👍🛥
Capitán you made the right call ,these four men out with no radio and let me jump on your boat for Rite back???? Hell no my friend I small smugglers , let the coast guard do their job and get home safe!! Saludos mi Capitán chingon!! Un millón de Likes , you're the best brother!!!
I agree with all the comments captain. They definitely weren’t prepared and you have to wonder why they didn’t want Coast Guard to come help him. Safety first on the water always
Yes I agree Michael once they have ass ask for help I have to give him some help but not calling the Coast Guard isnot acceptable to me, I had to make sure they get help👍⚓
Excellent job assisting the distressed boat and not letting them aboard. Wise move, always keep a distance and staying safe. Very nice of your First Mate with the meal fit for a Captain.
Thank you Jeffrey and definitely I'll tell my wife you're great comment and yes we need to be safe out there especially when you're alone at sea thank you for your great comment and for watching captain👍👍☕⚓
Heads up ! Lobster brought back have to be netted, can not be shot with polespear. Recent changes to US law. Big fines if brought back speared. Be safe.
Mrs. Reef is such a doll. You’re a fortunate Captain, Captain. Smart man trusting your instincts out on the water. Those dudes may have been straight up good guys, but you just can’t take that chance. Who goes 40 miles offshore with no VHF?!? SMH.
Thank you for your awesome Comment captain and Yes I am very lucky to have a wife Awesome that she is, And yes I agree with you they could have been great guys but we don't know that so we have to keep our distance especially out there by myself and like to say no VHF That's a little questionable, And thanks for coming along my trip captain😉🛥👍⚓☕
Very good to know captain in wow $5000 that is a lot of money But you're doing a service so if people are not prepared they should pay the price Thanks for your comment and also for watching captain
As a child, I looked forward to Saturdays because of cartoons.... As an adult, I look forward to Mondays for new "Out On The Reef" adventures.... Great Video. I agree with your philosophy on Sea tow. One tow will pay for it. Looking forward to the next adventure.
Thank you for your awesome comment that really means a lot to me captain really motivates me on keep making my videos and thank you for being awesome viewer of my channel Michael and I remember those days of the cartoons you're a 100% right that were awesome on Saturday morning👍👍⚓🛥☕
Former towboat US capt here - prices for tows START at $360/hr and we start billing the moment the boat leaves the dock, and we don't stop billing until we get back to OUR dock. His tow would easily break $3000.
You did the right thing buddy,you don’t want someone on your boat that you don’t know…just like you said…bad things can happen.Great video captain…cannot wait for the next one.
Great video and great trip! I enjoyed it immensely. Captain your wife is such a sweetheart! 🛥 🦞 ❤️ and you handled that situation perfectly! Props to the Coastguard too
@@OutOnTheReef yes you don’t know if they just had the engine off on purpose and the fact that they did not want to call the coast guard, they asked for a more then a 22 mile tow and on top of that to board your boat. That Automatically had my Spidey sense tingling
@@MiamiLiving305 Yes I agree I was trying to help bu at the same time I had my Pat my brain wandering all these questions myself that's why I stay away as far as possible and try to help at the same time is very Complicated things to do
You have a great wife keep her I had one for 17 yrs never found and other one like her . These woman now days can’t boil a egg 🥚 wanna be in the streets she’s a keeper 💪💪❤️🍎.
Thanks buddy and yes you right about that all most of ladies out there All they think about is Instagram and they're makeup. Thanks for watching my video captain😉👍
hey man its Rico from the ramp in port Canaveral I met you this past wed.. nice meeting you . love your vids great job very informative.....stay safe..👍👍👍
Awesome buddy i made sure Coast Guard got to you sorry that i couldn't stick around cap. And thanks for letting me know . You guys are lucky that I usually look everywhere you guys were close to a mile but I saw your flare but most people ignore it but to me is life-and-death for somebody else so it's a mandatory to stop for me to help my fellow boater⚓👍
That is true driver but don't let that stop you just be prepared for those situations and try not to get close to people that you don't know on the water just to be safe and you'll be fine captain thanks for watching my trip👍☕🛥⚓
There was two native young guys from Great harbour Cay that went fishing and their motor went out. They drifted almost to West Palm Beach, a boat that was so happens to be going to Great Harbour Cay from Florida saw them drifting and did nothing because how they looked, I heard they told some of the locals when they reach to GHC and they were blasted for leaving them without calling for help by the locals. So cap thank you for keeping yourself safe and calling for help.
As humans we need to treat our human voters with respect and dignity Even though we don't know them in their intentions if we can help even by calling for help it's awesome so agree with you captain never leave somebody stranded out there with no communication is that human thing to do👍👍👍⚓🛥
George is good to help others but you always have to be careful out there when you're by yourself because we cannot get help right away if something goes down wrong And thanks for watching captain
You did exactly the correct thing not boarding them in your vessel!!!! Also it was great that you kept your distance from them and didn't tie up to them!!!! "If" they were legit in distress it's on them for setting out in a boat without their proper equipment!!!! Had a similar situation myself years ago back in Culebra, PR assisting a boater!!!! Different outcome but non the less dealt with an irresponsible boater with a woman and small child on the boat!!!
Yes Wayne thank you so much buddy and yes the bacon was awesome it's awesome in the morning and yes it is better to be safe out there thanks for watching captain
Great video, Capt. I’m like the rest of the followers here. I feel you did exactly the proper thing. Made sure all persons were safe, called the Coast Guard and gave them the information. Then to get home, and the Mrs could okey your dinner? Most excellent. Anxiously awaiting the next adventure my friend.
Thank you one for your awesome support And yes I agree with you a 100% being safe is most important so I can make it home And thanks for watching my channel captain😉👍👍⚓🛥
you made the correct decision by not taking the other crew in distress onboard. as their vessel in good shape to wait for the coastguard and they have food and water. and you Relayed their distress call to the officials. good call captain. stay safe
I broke down two seasons ago on the Hudson river when my outboard started smoking. I called Sea tow and they towed me back the 3 miles back to my launch site. They charged me $1300. My homeowners insurance actually paid for it or my car insurance one or the other. But now I am a Sea tow member for like 135 a year. I can’t imagine what Sea tow would charge for a non member 40 mile tow.
Wow that's a lot of money so 40 miles I will be probably $3000 that is a lot of money And yes I can't believe that some people navigate without it Especially with one engine😔
I agree captain we don't know out there being alone all the vessels intentioned sometimes are good but sometimes you do not know so it's better to be safe than sorry
Great Video and my BS antennae went up with them not wanting the CG and wanting to come aboard your boat. However the highlight was the awesome meal at the end. Now I'm hungry!
Thank you buddy and yes I agree with you a 100% it was a little fishy but I stayed my distance I had a good feeling feeling to stay my distance just for safety not saying that they were bad people but you never know these days captain who's out there and thank you for watching my trip captain👍😉
I admire the way you fixed that boat to live aboard. Wish I had watched your channel before spending way more to modify the Carver for similar trips. Takes me 10 hours to make the same crossing you do in 2 or 3. Good call about the other boat. I would have done exactly the same. Good rule about swimming vs not swimming rescue.
But your boat is Much comfortable that is a great size cruiser captain and yes having people on board from another vessel it's very dangerous you don't know the circumstances of the people and legalities And thank you for your great comment captain navigate safe🛥👍⚓
I agree Gary we don't know who we encounter out there and what their motives are they could have been just great people but at the same time we don't know that so we have to be aware and keep our distance just to be safe I agree with you a 100% captain thanks for watching👍⚓
Buddy it was what came to my mind right there the moment it's just to get it them help it's the safest thing I could do And thank you for watching my trip captain
@@nagjrcjasonbower Well sorry to hear that captain and definitely you need to take a break soon Instead of the ice cream a cold corona 🍺 🍻 🍺. Have a great night captain
Cap, I come for your adventures on the water, I stay for the meals. Ever time you (or your wife) cook something on video, I’m suddenly starving to death. Keep the meals coming.
Great trip buddy!! Looks like you won't be sleeping in the crooked pilot house after all!!! I'm preparing for my annual trip to Carrebelle FL now. Leaving in 2 days. Can't wait!!!
Great trip again cap! Glad you had fun. Interesting situation in the gulf on the way back. Definitely don’t allow anyone on board - you handled it well. Better to be cautious!
You did the right thing capin..you did your part contacting the CC for all you know that could have been a set up to rob you..great call on that if vessel was sinking thats a different they didn't ask for or water nothing..that didn't seem right to me seemed FISHY get it fishy...but great job capin love ya brother!!!
Thanks buddy for your awesome feedback And yes I think that was the correct decision to stay safe out there but there's no fast help and thank you for watching my channel captain nice to hear from you again
Smart!... Never take a passenger from a stranded boat. Especially these days. You did correct thing. I would not tow either unless they were family or friend. 40 miles tow to Miami..... $$$$$$$$$$$$.
Tus videos siempre tan llenos de vida. Soy fíel seguidor y no me pierdo uno. Deberías hacer un juego donde el ganador te pueda acompañar. Jajajajaj gracias .
Brother you did the right thing you never know if those people was up to something maybe they wasn’t but you have to cover your butt how about they bring something on your boat or they thro you off your boat you never know people are crazy no better safe than sorry you get pull over now you done foh you gotta get back to your family. God bless you your boy from the Bronx N.Y. 🍎🇵🇷👀💧💧💦dam it’s expensive 1100 a trip Jesus but the journey is priceless 💪💪💪💪💪. SHAZZAM
Nice to hear from you captain and yes you're so right There's a lot of good people out there but there's also bad people and we don't know how to distinguish who they are And yes definitely I need to get back to my family And I felt good because I didn't help in some way👍👍⚓ Shazam, suludos de Florida cap.🛥⚓👋
Excellent series, Cap't! I always look forward to your videos and I'm excited to be moving to Florida next year on the Gulf Coast side Sanibel Island/Cape Coral area. I will show this video to my lady so I can have a great dinner when I arrive from sea, too! ;)
Another good video, you did the right thing OOTR, that was far to risky… Everyone should to be properly prepared, when they are that far out in the ocean. 👍🏻
another great video,captain....thanks for that,I really miss being on the sea.but right now I don't have the choice.that's the way it is.anyway,I've got your videos to watch,so it will do for the moment.stay safe,Cap'n.cheers from Mauritius Island,Indian Ocean!!!!!
I had an incident. 10miles off miami beach..were a boat with 2 guys flagged me down..they wanted me 2 jump on there boat n fix it..i stayed 50feet from them..The wind lifted the shirt of 1 of the guys n i saw a black semi auto piston..behind his back...Be careful out there folks
wow Alex that is scary and yes you did the right thing too stay away wile you helping is the best thing to do , remember we are alone out there, thanks for watching cap. 👍⚓😉
Watched another complete series; very entertaining. This video did leave me wondering if you had given serious thought to installing a kicker on your stern. Thoughts?
Thank you so much Jack for watching another series of my channel and I have thought about adding a kicker motor but if if I did that I cannot have the minkota Trolling motor because that would be too much weight so I had to choose from one of them and the minkota was the best choice because I can still move the boat at at 3 to 4 miles per hour on good conditions
I agree with you captain as much as I don't like to leave people stranded this is not the time to risk and toast somebody in the middle of nowhere I think coast guard can do a better job of helping Thank you for watching my trip captain👍⚓☕
Friend of mine blew one motor going out. It cost him 800.00 to be towed 2 miles back to the ramp. The next day he got a sea tow membership. The next year he was 10 miles off shore and both motors stopped working. Cost him no t hing to be towed back. I would have done the same, not allow them to board my boat. Except would have stayed near by till coast guard or towing company showed up.
Great idea captain and yes I feel bad that i left them Behind but I had other things scheduled that day that I cannot let pass that's why I left them behind but I make sure coast guard handled the problem thanks for your great comment👍⚓
You did the best thing for their safety and yours. No one trying to get jacked on the water. They didn't want coast guard??? Wonder why....awesome vacation captain 👍👍👍

@@fairwind8222 I agree captain it's a must👍⚓
Probably a smart move on not to take any of those men on board. Being in the ocean without the proper radios is questionable.
I agree captain we don't know out there being alone all the vessels intentioned sometimes are good but sometimes you do not know so it's better to be safe than sorry
They probably stole that boat from Florida and was heading to the Bahamas to sell it.
I’m shocked the coast guard did not request you stay in vicinity until help came.
as a Crooked PilotHouse Captain John i have more flexibility on navigations 👍👍⚓👨✈️
Great Video and my BS antennae went up with them not wanting the CG and wanting to come aboard your boat. However the highlight was the awesome meal at the end. Now I'm hungry!

☕☕☕☕
You 100% did the right thing.
Yes cap. I helped and we all stayed safe, and is my duty as a captain to report this th US coast guard, thanks for watching 👍
Great video captain! you did what you could, being out there single engine and no radio! woow
Buddy it was what came to my mind right there the moment it's just to get it them help it's the safest thing I could do And thank you for watching my trip captain
Thanks for the sea wisdom! Great video!
Thanks buddy thank you for watching my channel
@@OutOnTheReef You bet! Sorry I have been gone lately... Work has been like an ice cream cone... Excessive nuts on crazy brain freeze!!! 😫
@@nagjrcjasonbower Well sorry to hear that captain and definitely you need to take a break soon Instead of the ice cream a cold corona 🍺 🍻 🍺.
Have a great night captain
Better safe than sorry
Real sketchy, that far out - NO radio??!
Yes I agree Paul it was a sketchy situation🏝⚓
Wow, You never know this days. It could range from smugglers to pirates. good job!. Next time bring the wife with an BB Gun just in case.. lol
Lol captain that's not a bad idea😁👍
When I get back to land My wife asks “What are you picking up for dinner on the way home”!!
Jajaja That's because they lost their confidence on we fishing a good catch lol😁👍
You did the correct thing- 🙏
Thanks cap.😉
Cap, I come for your adventures on the water, I stay for the meals. Ever time you (or your wife) cook something on video, I’m suddenly starving to death. Keep the meals coming.
Thanks Paul for being awesome viewer of my channel and keep that appetite going because there's more food coming in the future lol😁👍
Hello Capt,
That is great advice about picking up people that require a ride into some port or city that you don’t know. Thank you Capt
Right on Randell thanks cap. i agree and thanks for watching my trip cap👍⚓
Great trip buddy!! Looks like you won't be sleeping in the crooked pilot house after all!!! I'm preparing for my annual trip to Carrebelle FL now. Leaving in 2 days. Can't wait!!!
Yup I got to sleep inside the house JC and and have an awesome time at Florida and hopefully I'll see you out there in the water captain👍🛥⚓
Good job wao tremendo yo e aprendido mucho con tigo pa no me pierdo ni un vídeo tengo un bote también 24’ nice 👍
Si me Recuedo de ti Ramon gracias por comentar y por ser un fiel sequidor de my cannal. Saludos👋⚓
Great trip again cap! Glad you had fun. Interesting situation in the gulf on the way back. Definitely don’t allow anyone on board - you handled it well. Better to be cautious!
Thank you Alex and yes being out there alone by yourself you have to be extra careful for your own safety thanks for watching captain👍😉
Very smart for you to not tow or allow boarding!!!!!!!
Thanks buddy I agree with you a 100% it was the safest thing to do and the great thing is they found help thanks for watching captain
You guys are a great pair!!! Love the videos!
Thanks so much!!🤗👍👍
You did the right thing capin..you did your part contacting the CC for all you know that could have been a set up to rob you..great call on that if vessel was sinking thats a different they didn't ask for or water nothing..that didn't seem right to me seemed FISHY get it fishy...but great job capin love ya brother!!!
Thanks buddy for your awesome feedback And yes I think that was the correct decision to stay safe out there but there's no fast help and thank you for watching my channel captain nice to hear from you again
Usted hizo lo correcto capitan, yo hubiese hecho lo mismo. Uno no sabe las intenciones pero los ayudo de la forma correcta.
Muchas gracias Boriken y si es peligroso ayudar a alguien que no conocemos alla afuera, saludos capitan👋👍
Smart!... Never take a passenger from a stranded boat. Especially these days. You did correct thing. I would not tow either unless they were family or friend. 40 miles tow to Miami..... $$$$$$$$$$$$.
I agree cap. A tow like that i herd os about $4000. And is very dangerous especially wen im alone cap.
Thanks for watching 👍
Tus videos siempre tan llenos de vida. Soy fíel seguidor y no me pierdo uno. Deberías hacer un juego donde el ganador te pueda acompañar. Jajajajaj gracias .
Gracias Alejandro por ser tremendo mirador de mi cannal y si me gusta tu idea😁😉👍👍👍
Good work brother
Thanks buddy😉👍⚓
That was sure a long boating vacation in the Bahamas. I got a tell ya, I’m exhausted 😏
Lol captain I'm exhausting myself I need a vacation after my vacation😁👍👍☕
Brother you did the right thing you never know if those people was up to something maybe they wasn’t but you have to cover your butt how about they bring something on your boat or they thro you off your boat you never know people are crazy no better safe than sorry you get pull over now you done foh you gotta get back to your family. God bless you your boy from the Bronx N.Y. 🍎🇵🇷👀💧💧💦dam it’s expensive 1100 a trip Jesus but the journey is priceless 💪💪💪💪💪. SHAZZAM
Nice to hear from you captain and yes you're so right There's a lot of good people out there but there's also bad people and we don't know how to distinguish who they are And yes definitely I need to get back to my family And I felt good because I didn't help in some way👍👍⚓
Shazam, suludos de Florida cap.🛥⚓👋
Great video
Thanks buddy👍😉
Good Job Capt!
Thank you Randy and also thank you for watching my trip⚓👍
Excellent series, Cap't! I always look forward to your videos and I'm excited to be moving to Florida next year on the Gulf Coast side Sanibel Island/Cape Coral area. I will show this video to my lady so I can have a great dinner when I arrive from sea, too! ;)
That would be awesome captain that area of senebel island is beautiful and hopefully I will see you out there on the water one day captain
Can’t wait for another video love your channel
Thank you Mike for being a awesome viewer of my channel captain to the next video😉👍⚓🛥
Another good video, you did the right thing OOTR, that was far to risky… Everyone should to be properly prepared, when they are that far out in the ocean. 👍🏻
Thank you Andy and yes I agree with you a 100% people need to be prepared👍🛥
Love your videos and jealous I can’t do that a few times a year!
Thanks for watching Jeremy but hopefully in the future you'll be able to do it more often captain and hopefully I'll see you out there in the water⚓👍
dale a foxi lobster jajajjajajaj
Si eso se me olvido pero a ella le gusta mas la pasta 😁😋
another great video,captain....thanks for that,I really miss being on the sea.but right now I don't have the choice.that's the way it is.anyway,I've got your videos to watch,so it will do for the moment.stay safe,Cap'n.cheers from Mauritius Island,Indian Ocean!!!!!
Wow captain thank you so much for watching so far from the USA and hopefully hopefully you will be out there on the water again soon captain👍👍⚓
I had an incident. 10miles off miami beach..were a boat with 2 guys flagged me down..they wanted me 2 jump on there boat n fix it..i stayed 50feet from them..The wind lifted the shirt of 1 of the guys n i saw a black semi auto piston..behind his back...Be careful out there folks
wow Alex that is scary and yes you did the right thing too stay away wile you helping is the best thing to do , remember we are alone out there, thanks for watching cap. 👍⚓😉
Watched another complete series; very entertaining. This video did leave me wondering if you had given serious thought to installing a kicker on your stern. Thoughts?
Thank you so much Jack for watching another series of my channel and I have thought about adding a kicker motor but if if I did that I cannot have the minkota Trolling motor because that would be too much weight so I had to choose from one of them and the minkota was the best choice because I can still move the boat at at 3 to 4 miles per hour on good conditions
Enjoy your videos and totally agree with not letting them on your boat or towing them. You’d have to be out of your mind to do that
I agree with you captain as much as I don't like to leave people stranded this is not the time to risk and toast somebody in the middle of nowhere I think coast guard can do a better job of helping Thank you for watching my trip captain👍⚓☕
That’s why I’m a firm believer in twin engines at least to go offshore.
Very tru cap. But some of us dont have the money to purchase a boat with twin engines but i see your point
Friend of mine blew one motor going out. It cost him 800.00 to be towed 2 miles back to the ramp. The next day he got a sea tow membership. The next year he was 10 miles off shore and both motors stopped working. Cost him no t hing to be towed back. I would have done the same, not allow them to board my boat. Except would have stayed near by till coast guard or towing company showed up.
Great idea captain and yes I feel bad that i left them Behind but I had other things scheduled that day that I cannot let pass that's why I left them behind but I make sure coast guard handled the problem thanks for your great comment👍⚓
