Giant Barge Removes Burned Yacht out of Biscayne Bay (Tow Boat Miami)

- While filming the Chit Show at BlackPointMarina many boaters came to the boat ramps and told me a giant fire was happening in Biscayne Bay. Looks like a 50 foot yacht burned to the ocean floor and had to be refloated. The Team at Tow Boat Miami was able to resurface the sunk yacht and had Kearns Construction bring a giant barge and crane to remove it from the oceans floor.
The operation was done at Herbert Hoover Marina in Homestead Florida. The footage of them getting through the channel was simply epic.

AND yes, you are one hundred percent correct ... Tug barge ocean Operators are Legends.
Good narration and photography. These guys have skill. Thank you!
Thanks for the great video mate ,love this kind of content. Cheers from down under.
Good stuff Alfred... You should be in the Keys... Coast Guard is with a fatal boat accident... Thanks for posting
The barge captain?? I'm just flipping you some Chit, but Wow, wow, crazy, wow. Did you see the truck operater, the crane operater, the boat operater, the rope operater, just all the operaters like operating everything. Wow, wow adjustments.
they float in the water around the wreak to sop up fuel great show.
Let's get it
The want Alfred to be safe and go stand in Fort Lauderdale. WTH?
What a joke of a lift , this is a great example of how not to . Guess they have never herd of spreader bars ?
Much respect for you and how you cover the Miami scene. Also for the workers you are covering today. If it wasn’t for you Alfred, this profession would be unknown to many of us.
No problem anchoring, just drop a piling down and your anchored. Those tall pilings go up and down, so the crane is supported immediately.
An American 7225 has an 85 ton lifting capacity. It will be plenty sufficient.
Correct👍👍👍
I like the 7335 for when you really need capacity
That's a big crane. Don't worry
I don't know the geography round there, but if it is not far from Black Point Marina, I would imagine that the Manitou and Fred The Croc would not be too pleased about that. Its such a shame that a boat that size lost it's life. Thanks for showing us.
Those weren't straps to lift it, they were oil absorbers placed around the boat when it was in the water to contain any oil or diesel that spilled into water. when they lifted the boat they took the out with it. I like the long version and can fast forward as I like, thanks for the footage..
How would you expect a guy that claims to be interested in the environment, keeping the waters clean, and makes his living bla bla blaing about boats at the water's edge to know the first thing about fuel floating on water , or how these minor spills are contained ? All we gotta know is how scary a simple lift looks to him and how gigantic a standard barge appears to him. Well maybe it is also important to know that he knows nothing about the weight of the boat or the capacity of the crane, even though he directly engaged a key guy that would have been happy to inform him. Fucking drama queen.
@@deconteesawyer5758 Drama queen, you wrote a whole paragraph on why your mad. 🤣🤣
@@crip6ns Aww poor baby you got triggered. You can have a cupcake before you nap dear.
@@deconteesawyer5758 What no whole paragraph?
Really cupcake? Thats the best you got. 😂😂
@@crip6ns You left him/her/it speechless! I love it!!! He/she/ it must be a little baker offering you a cupcake!!! lol😂
Love your channel as I’m a retired 100 ton Master of Oceans. The crane is an 85 ton madel. Certainly large enough for the burnt hulk. By the way … the anchor thingys are called “spuds” as it is a spud barge. Keep them coming, as each day I”Wait for it”
The Robalo guy should give CAPT Rodney a call.
Anyone spot the Yamaha dingy motor in the burned out hull? 1:01:27
Good vid, watched it til the end. Keep up the good work. New subscriber and watch your channel all night. Cudos to the barge crew and captain.
To bad about the yacht thanks for sharing Alfred 👍👍
Dude you are all over, love ur videos, and you are funny guy too, dude keep it up, and send us more videos from the cubans demonstration in Miami. 👏🇺🇸🇺🇸
It's sad to see a boat that caught fire , but it was interesting to see the process of what goes into something like this. Awesome. Be Safe Brother.
This is a fascinating video! Yes, please do an interview with the owner of the company! I agree that these guys are really doing a great service. I suggest that people go to youtube and look up Adventures With Purpose. These guys travel the U.S. and remove vehicles from waterways but in the process they find missing people and have solved some missing persons cold cases that have been many years old. I am not trying to push another channel in this comment section, but I did not realize that all of this stuff has been going on in our water. I look at things much differently since then. Our waters are not clean and healthy and I really feel that it needs to seriously be addressed.
Great video Alfred!! Keep it up. Looking forward to coming out to Miami and doing some yachting. Hope to see you on the water.
Awesome video! I love the watch stuff like that. Thanks for taking the time
What a shame, the Schaefer Phantom 500 is a beautiful yacht. I hope that everyone made it off without injury.
i love watching your video alfred keep up the good work....greetings from Germany
The pole he dropped into mud is called a spud.
Brin - You are so wrong. A spud is a potato. (sorry. U R right.)
Those white things you thought were straps were containment collars to keep oil, diesel, etc from getting in the water. I worked in 2 marinas, hauled out 1 fire damaged boat and 3 that sank.
Make sure you have good insurance coverage no matter what type of boat you own - if it sinks your insurance will pay for the salvage operation. Otherwise it's coming out of your pocket.
Love your channel. Always busy and exciting following a day at the ramp. Keep it up. Full support from Ireland ✔️
Whole video could have been condensed to 5 to 10 mins. I fast forwarded thru most of it.
Alfred, it looks as an ENGINE FIRE, ?what do you think ?HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU AND FAMILY,& to all with your engine, 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Alfred, bet you won't be able to recover those engines... Cool to watch, but not as dangerous as you made out. This Memorial day, remember that the military is in much more hazardous positions doing their normal jobs. God bless them. 🙏🥰👍😎🇺🇲
Danny I've got a job for you, a little bigger than before but what's the issue.
Rodney got skills...... really good content King..... always hustling for your viewers!!
No problem for the crane it was not maxed out it is American made and as such it must be able to lift hold lower and brake. 1.5 times the stated load capacity by federal regulations.
I guess when it comes to a multi million dollar pay out, the insurance company spares no expense having the boat delivered directly to their investigators. By the time they are done, they will even know what everybody on board had for dinner the night before.
1st mistake they made was leaving the spill booms attached to it for them to get tangled in the wheels of the trailer
Awesome , Alfred you are the god of all things boating , I thoroughly enjoyed this video , Thankyou
The long poles that go up and down are called spuds.
Them long poles are called Spuds. To anchor and stabilize it to work Raised by on deck crane or by on board Hyd system or by cables Another Great Job thanks. Bro
Those long "anchors" are called spuds. They are on most recovery barges for securing while lifting..
Pretty sure that will buff right out.
Alfred
That is a way cool video
Captain Rodney is an Ace on the water
Heartbreaking loss for Olivia's owner
Good no one hurt
Sail on amigo
😎
When the boat dropped the first time a little to much. It was because the crane operater realsed the brake a little to much. And all the squeking was that of the brakes not fully being realsed to get the boat to be lowered very slowly.
Great job! Shame about the boat, bet it a smashing boat. Sorry for the owners. Hope the insurance covers it.
Could be the morel of the story is, if your bowl thruster gets jammed with debris, put is in neutral or switch off the electric ⚡️? Or might be the boat catches fire 🔥
Will the crane be sufficient to perform the pick? You know how the boat got on the barge, right?
I don't see a bow thruster on that boat just saying. The squeak is the brakes on the Crain cable winches like drum brakes on a car.
A very educational video! Thank you Alfred. All the people involved in this endeavor are amazing at what they do. Superstars!
It would be cool if you had a picture before the fire.
If you want see some really interesting things go to fleet boat horbor watch some barges be landed or put in toe
yea this cat doesn't know much other than chitchat. funny when he said that crane operator was good just by looking at him..
don't think its was the bow thruster, looked more like the aft ones that went up in smoke and flames. more damage in the aft than any other place.
Badass badass,boating is something you learn over years,not that easy,badass capt
I've seen the other boat ramp vids from other marinas, this one is the best and most beautiful truly, stay here please
Impressive footage Alfred, from Arizona City, Arizona
Great stuff to the salvagers and the film footage, unbelievable....this is skill! Thank you. Watching from Jersey!.
Wow, that was impressive!! Nice video Alfred 👍
They should put ladders at the end of each dock, just for people falling in
Kearns delivers all kinds of stuff....I saw telephone poles on deck
Given it's size that tug/push boat is mega powerful.
This is a great video. Thanks for staying until the end of all the activities.
Great job covering this.the salvage company absolutely experts in their field
I love how you film a variety of things,boating wise.
I've worked with this company before and still work with them every once in a while they are very good at there job for sure get KAREN'S cap your a beast always have been lol my boy Ralph front and center this is crazy watching it all lol
Alfred, I discovered you a couple of days ago, I have liked as many videos as I could have. I usually watch on my 52" TV, and there is nowhere for comments....Watching the Olivia unloading now.....WTF was up the boat that hit the Sailboat, then on another video parked itself? I love watching your videos....I am 66, grew up near the Mississippi River, in Minnesota, and saw some chit that is oh, so questionable......Take care!
Rodney
Glad you found the family Rodney
Rodney, I watch all his videos on my Computer and I left click the mouse to pause the screen and then I roll down, (with the mouse), to the comments and then read or leave my own comments that way. I then use the mouse to scroll back up to the Video that I have on pause and by using the mouse, I then un-click the video and then start watching it further.
I didn't read any comments but those big pipes on the barge are called "SPUDS" The crane operator picks them up and rigger will pull the pin holding it up so they can drop the spud into the bottom. The spuds hold the barge in place.
I lost track of how many times I said "wait for it" in the beginning of the video 🤩
Those tall steel beams or anchors are called Spud Bars.
yeah got to give it up for Rodney... dude can steer a boat!
Karen’s captain definitely gets a like for that docking. But Olivia’s captain gets a smack in the mouth!
'looks like they're going to start doing something"
They are called spuds. Most barges have two some barges have a machine on deck that operates the spuds
Not really an "epic" moment pretty basic, but your enthusiasms and comments are off the charts Uber epic!!
You may not realize this but blind and deaf people watch RUclips.Be thankful your blessed
Dear Alfred, maybe someday you took us to some boats junk yards. I wonder how many there is in Florida. It is interesting to see junked boats which some would be salvageable, others may have tons of parts that many boaters would purchase from junkyards, just like cars. For instance, this burned yacht's engine I believe is in good condition, and the propeller looks good Lool. As you suggested the idea of converting it to giant rib boat, I came with an idea that someone could make it a swimming pool Looool. I could imagine that the fees of that giant towing boat including the loading and unloading in such a case costs about $ 4 to 5 k if not more, add to that the truck's fees. Take care and enjoy your time.
It's actually a good idea !
I wanna see another tug boat episode
Bummer about the boat. Impressive seamanship and ship handling on the barge and tug! Well Done!
The white strap was to keep sea from the oil when it in the water. The fuel could have leaked.
The Coast Guard uses them, they are called "Containment Booms".
Next video: 50 foot Yacht comes back to Life!
Best Captain. All these Barge Captains have skills.
Mad respect for Captain Rodney,spins that barge like a toy
Check out the towboats on the Mississippi pushing 35 or 45 fully loaded barges in fast current.
It's amazing how you run your mouth when you have no idea what's going on.
I hope the passengers got off safely
Your assume in narration .
Nice vid though
The poles that hold the barge we call spud pools.. obviously thats not a us word
i don’t even want to know how much an hour they charged for this lift!
👍
Now waiting for the Robalo to be on that barge.
Amazing boating skills.
It was amazing thank you
Great job Alfred.
Hey Alfred, nice video man. Reminds me of my early construction career driving all sorts of cranes, earth movers etc. Driving crawlers actually helped me get my UK Offshore Skippers Certificate. As docking a 40ft twin screw Nelson came as second nature, rudder at midships and steer on the screws, also using wind and tide/flow.
Best job I had boat left was a guy built a steel canal barge in his back yard, with the permission to cross the guy next door's yard to a road. The neighbors changed and permission was lost, so he had a company cut the barge in half. The crane hire company I worked for gave the guy a special price to lift the sections out, but the operation would be filmed for a TV documentary. So the companies largest truck crane was set up in the road, assisted by my smaller mount. The sections were lifted out one by one and hauled away.
We played a joke on the next door neighbor when we started to assemble the large crane right beside his house, saying the lift would be right over his house, he was not happy with that.
The big thing with floating barge lifts is the amount the barge sinks while taking the lift, positioning the crane to gain the lost float on the barge.
An EpicVideo Once Again. Thank You So Much.!! Key West Dave
Thanks for taking the time to film this. I really enjoy watching this kind of thing. Hope you are well, sending love from Philadelphia 💚
He’s probably getting a bill for $25 grand plus 4 tow boat US for $1500 each plus another ten grand to cut it up for land fill big liability.
Alfred one hell of a Captain on that barge.
Bro, that was truly a (like a glove) docking job! Beast mode engaged 👍
So how much does a savage like this cost the boar owner?
Probably 30 grand Plus 4 two boat US at $1500 a pop. Insurance adjuster will be examining it to for any funny biz.
ALFRED hello,that car carrier ship in aGEORGIA HARBOUR, it was going out,improper ballasting, caused this capsize, , it was cut into several pieces,using a special ric using CHAINES TO CUT IT UP,the cost, of recovery has FAR EXCEEDED THE COST OF SHIP & cargo. Cheerio 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Spud barge. Spuds anchor barge in place. I work the Lower Mississippi River. Towboats pushing upwards of 48 barges with 11,900hp trips.
My job is a bit crazy. Catch them on the fly, tie off and they pull me along as I offload crew members, supplies or whatever. Night. Day. Storms. Fog. 24/7 on call. 100 ton vessel Merchant Marine Captain.
It's insane at the equipment used on this river.
Awesome footage! Couldn’t quit watching.
I’m not reading comments below till after I post mine.
Cause I gots ta say it.....
That’ll BUFF right out..... 😂
