FREE For Boat Owners: boaterssecretweapon.com/pages/boater-bootcamp FREE Boater Bootcamp for newer boat owners gives you insights on boat ownership basics, navigation and practical rules of the water and how to avoid, be prepared and handle emergency situations. No more not knowing what you don't know in the boating lifestyle.
My #1 rule: always assume the other person doesn't know what they are doing. This means giving way even if you shouldn't have to. It means acting as early as possible. I'd rather give way when I'm not supposed to every time than have an accident.
I agree. I am not relying on a credit card captain to give way to me.
Bigger boats will hurt me more than my boat hurting them so I just let them go.
Rule number 2 skippers always at fault 👌
On Sunday’s this is rules 1,2 and 3
As much as I agree on your point of assuming the other person doesn't know what they're doing, ColRegs also state that if you are in the position of standing on, you MUST stand on and do your best to not change your action (in a basic 90° trajectory example).
@@Darkhammer125 exactly - the irony being the original post commenting on assuming the other person not knowing what they’re doing just shows this person doesn’t know that they’re doing.
The first rule I learned with the first boat I owned was to make sure the drain plug is in. Never forgot about that one.
Something that helped me to remember channel markers is "Red Right Returning" the three R's. When coming in from offshore I must keep the reds to my right.
I love that you present this content clearly and quickly. Too many presentation try to take up as much time as possible. Like they get paid by the minute. No one has time for that.
Another safety topic that should be considered: boating near sea planes that are in operation.
As a former owner of a Cessna 172 on floats, I have some experience in this area. While on the water, aircraft must abide by the same rules as a boat. Having said that, when an aircraft is on its take off run, or landing, its maneuverability is very limited. Sea plane pilots are trained to take this into consideration. However, many boaters aren't aware of these limitations.
Please give right of way to any aircraft in these phases of flight.
3:36 I was taught on the ocean in the navy that the give way vessel sees a red running light and the right of way vessel sees green. Give way vessel comes to a stop if necessary also using vhf along the way to know intention..
I have shared your videos with a few fellow boaters, the N Ca water ways are vast and full of people...
Safety is on point!!
Nice Work!!
Thanks Matt. This is very helpful to new boaters and a good reminder for experienced boaters. Great job!
This is, hands down, the best boating Chanel on the tube! You are my go to for information. Thanks and keep up the great work sir!
This video is a great introduction to safe boating! Looking forward to the excellent course so I can operate my boat safely and easier.
Right on. My state forced us to take an online boat safety class...it was very long and absolutely stupid The most I learned from it is that UA-cam is a much better learning tool for boat safety.
If you're new and having trouble at the boat launch (Like I did when I started) apologize, and explain to other boaters who are waiting an many times they will be happy to help and offer friendly advice. If you are inconsiderate, ignore them and take a lot of time....you will piss them off. Always think in terms of safety and efficiency at the boat launches.
Great advice. Far too many people make the same mistake, not making use of an experienced captain as a crew member for the first at least three trips to learn the ropes, that way to avoid accidents that too often occur specifically when docking and trailering. Just to mention one, how many people realize that they can put their automatic transmissions into 1st gear when backing down the slipway this way they will not forget it's still in reverse and launch their vehicle's with their boats that we all know so often occurs, and so there is a long list of do's and dont's to learn from the get go by taking an experienced crewman with for the start of your boating sport/career.
With some lateral aids there are place where you are going from large water to small water where the green is on the starboard side, because the small water is a river, this river is connected to the ocean but one can not navigate the river to the ocean because of dams with no locks. The reason the greens is on the right is because if one could navigate this river from the oceans the red is on the starboard, Most lateral aids are set up based on coming from the ocean or great lakes (basically consider oceans). Hope that makes sense. My point is your note on coming from large water to small water does not always applies. Better to say coming f on ocean, with red, right, returning.
Your channel has tons of great info. Looking at purchasing a pontoon next summer. Be great to get a head start on doing things the right way👍👍👍
Good Stuff - Navigation rules don't have to be complicated. I remember the crossing rule by "Boats on the RIGHT have the RIGHT OF WAY" (Yes, I know "right of way" is not correct, but it makes it easy to remember). One detail you glossed over: The Stand-on Vessel has a RESPONSIBILITY to maintain course and speed, so the Give-Way Vessel has a chance to avoid. Many's the time I've done my course correction, only to have the Stand-on vessel turn and I have to take MORE evasive action.
Thanks for all the time and energy you put into these videos! Single Engine V-Hull.
These videos are super helpful. Thank you for all the tips especially your videos on buying used boats.
Single engine V-Hull!
Great video. So many boaters don't know basic safety rules.
I have been looking for months for something like this and I am so excited that I found you!!! I passed the boater safety course and love your videos and am getting ready to purchase your best captain on the water course!!! YAY!!! I have a question do you know if there is a waterproof/laminated boaters essential quick reference guide I can purchase that includes a with some of these important tips all in one place. And do you also rec a certain waterways guide for our specific area?
I watched the video and was very impressed. It has excellent content and very educational. I will subscribe and look forward to watch more of boating education.
“Retired couple on a pontoon, probably going slow”….Not Rod and Rebecca on our Harris Solstice 230 with a 200HP Merc Baby!!!
that a boy, happy boating
😂😂😂😂😭
We are retired with a Godfrey 22 sport tune /Yamaha vf150!
Thank you, yes, I passed the test and yes I am still confused your video is very helpful.
Great video! I'm adding a link to it on our lake association website for our members to watch. We captain a pontoon boat and a v-hull speed boat.
4:47 Recommendation? It is a rule (Rule 5 COLREGS) and obligation to maintain the proper lookout.
Twin engines (if it arrives) got to pick the color 2 weeks ago and waiting for the call to get it. Keep up the great work and tricks of the trade that is great to have in the back pocket...

“Coastal”. I just ordered a new 2022 Sportsman Masters 247. Looking forward to taking delivery of it in February
The Best Boat Captain on the Water series is very helpful! Especially when it comes to parallel docking into tight spaces! Also, I took a safe boating course from Boat US even though I am old enough that I am not required to. Its the prudent and responsible thing to do and I got alot out of the class.
Nice delivery, all boat owners should be required to educate themselves about water Safety!!
This is absolutely good advice. Now all i need is a boat.
Red, Right, Return is something that has always stuck in my brain
Great content! Thank you.
Great video but always prefer to overtake to the port especially when naving on narrow waterways as I am avoiding on coming traffic myself and need to adjust starboard. If my boat is being overtaken on my starboard, I am often surprised as I tend to use that starboard water to avoid on coming. Make sense?
Great video. A couple of points, if I may. In regard to the first segment about Right of Way, I agree in all cases except when operating on the Great Lakes or Western Rivers, where Rule 14 (Inland) very specifically identifies which vessel has the "Right of Way". Similarly, I agree with your Crossing situation explanation, except, again when operating on the Great Lakes or Western Rivers, Rule 15 (Inland) gives more specific guidance for power driven vessels.
@@BoatBuyersSecretWeapon Great!

Great video everyone with a boat needs to watch this.

Great video. Thank you!
Glad you liked it!
Every bit of information is helpful thank you.i am a new boat owner now and I'm self teaching every aspect of boating and I'm having a blast doing it saftly.
Thanks! I was curious about how to call for help when in the water was going to make a kayake with a motor
19’ Fourwinns open bow, Volvo V8
Very informative info & video. 🕺🏼💪🏽👍🏽
Really excellent. OK, can I have an extra minute?...
-- Also give way to a vessel towing another vessel (sometimes this is hard to see)
-- In a harbor or narrow channel, DON'T overtake other boats unless absolutely necessary
-- At night, if you see a boat with a RED light, you are looking at his PORT (left side). You give way. Green is his starboard, you stand on. If you see WHITE, that's probably his stern or he is at anchor.
-- Know how many people you have aboard, and make sure the count does not decrease! No climbing on the superstructure under way. Do not leave the helm while under way.
-- Make sure you have working fire extinguishers
-- If your engine stalls, do not attempt to restart it without inspecting the engine compartment for fuel spillage.
-- Know and OBEY speed restrictions (e.g. no-wake zones)
P.S. In British waters, channel markers are reversed, GREEN RIGHT RETURNING. Good grief.
Yes, these rules are for the US and Canada and I think Singapore uses them as well on the markers/bouys specifically
Great Info. Doing lots of research right now. Looking at
PONTOON and SINGLE ENGINE V- HULL
Love it very helpful
Great info. A must have
Buying a boat in 6 - 8months, live aboard and learn for 6 - 8 months then off to the loop. Need all info I can get.
Great stuff man, really enjoying your channel.
@@BoatBuyersSecretWeapon first time boat for me ,coming from PWCs.. Looking for 20ft pontoon
@@BoatBuyersSecretWeapon Wow! Thank you Matt!
Sounds like a good course. I'm moving to Florida full time next year and am hoping to pick up a 32-37 ft cat with quad outboards for blue water fishing trips and runs over to the Bahamas. I'm debating on getting my captains license.
A cat I recommend is the freeman or invincible
First time boat operator...18ft ski boat to be picked up Spring 2022- need all the help i can get! TY!!!
Ordering Best Capt today. Single Engine boater, first time boat owner.
Thanks 😊 for the education
Great info
Pontoon
single engine v hull - Great vid! Thanks!
So as I'm watching this I'm realizing I'm a pretty good boat captain. Unfortunately on my local lakes people are morons and do some of the dumbest things I've ever seen on the water. I most often times have to just back out of the throttle to let the idiots do whatever it may be they're going to do.
Great video for novice boaters to watch concerning the Navigation Rules Of The Road. Can we pass each other on the one whistle side? Roger that! One whistle understood!
@@BoatBuyersSecretWeapon YW!
Coastal
Thanks for the information!
Thanks for the great content.
Single engine v-hull.
Well explained thanks🙏
Great video!!
Great video, well done...(now, putting on my nitpicking hat) I love how in a boating safety video at 11:00 the 'captain' doesn't have the kill switch band on his wrist. It's just lying there. (said with a sense of humor)
I'm considering the purchase of a small yacht, 30' to 40', for short ocean trips mostly near shore. Can you point me to the best buying guide, ownership and safety videos? Thanks
I looked up boating accidents on UA-cam. What I found made me feel lucky for the times I've been out on the water.
I watched a video where a guy was on a jet ski or PWC. Turn to port without looking behind him and he turned into the boat not just infront of it but directly into the bow. A small fishing boat with 3 people saw a BIG boat coming directly at them. They stood up and waved their arms to no effect. All three abandoned their boat seconds before the other one just ran over theirs from stern to bow.
Personally I detest prop driven boats. So many amputations, mutilations and deaths due to props.
Why do people who won't drink and drive, drink and boat?
Great video.
Is there an approximate release date for the coastal version of the training?
With bouys to me its always. Red Right Returning . Make it easy to remember
In calif do they go by age on who has to have the boating license?
Here in Oregon if your boat has a motor over 10 hp you have to get a boaters license
Just one thing you might want to mention. The port and starboard laterals example you gave only apply in IALA B areas. The colours are reversed in most places outside of the US.
Yes, if you are sailing in Europe and I believe most of the rest of the world, the buoyage system is the reverse of America's. When entering port it is red port-side, green starboard side.
Single engine V hull.
Liked the video.
In a crossing situation: the boat on the right, has the right of way.
Good video brother 💯
Thanks 💯
Great stuff to know
Single Engine. Great video thanks
Watching your video gave good information ! 👍
Unlike a car , boats have no brakes !
To steer a boat under all conditions requires skill , especially when you are getting ready to dock somewhere !
Alcohol and other mind altering chemicals is much more prevalent on the water as most feel it’s a recreational activity that doesn’t require being responsible for some reason !
Thanks 👍
Entering contest - single engine v hull
very nice video and offer - we appreciate you
Pontoon. We will order our 26 Silverwave shortly for an expected Dec. delivery.
Simplest Rule of the Road: Red means Stop / Avoid , Green means Continue on. Where do you all think we got Red / Green traffic lights from??!
How about one for power catamarans? They _DO_ handle a little bit differently than a deep-vee or any mono-hull.
@@BoatBuyersSecretWeapon Biggest problem with that is _most_ pontoons are single engine whereas most cats are twins or even quads when you get close to 40'. In fact the only exception I know of for that is the Aspen C120 with a single diesel in one hull.
Sounds great, hope it inspires people to sign up. It really would help if people knew this stuff. Quite a few seem to think it's a free for all or something. Still, apparently, there are a significant number of people who haven't figured out that two solid objects can't occupy the same space. Not sure how if they're up to right of way. I let someone drive once, told me all that born on the water crap and he's right up on someone else's stern. Wasn't looking, doing something else. I hear "what's this guy's problem. Why you so close? Duh, it's smoother. Ask, ok, what if he loses power or somebody falls off his boat. What do you see happening? Need (can't believe I'm saying this) some stricter laws about licencing and skill and understanding demonstrated before they go out.
Yes! What we need is MORE government intervention.
Nice video. Twin Engine Coastal.
Need to include horn blasts for signaling intentions and the response.
Might be a good idea to have the operator connect the ECO Landyard to his life jacket...last few frames of the video...
Entering this contest so I can safely captain my imaginary (for now) boat.
Hi I have a twin engine can I be placed in the drawing thank you
Whatever boat I’m standing on is the stand on boat. All others are give way boats.
you never talked about in any of this meeting, overtaking , or crossing situations is that all vessels must take action to avoid collision. Even if you are the stand on vessel you still are required to to take action to avoid collision.
gotta send this to my dad we pickin up a 320 boston whaler outrage..
Do you have to have a boating certificate for a pontoon boat
@Mskathlene-pq6tw We don't offer state approved boaters certificate with any of our programs (those are government approved programs that are good) but if you want practical boater knowledge on what every boat owner needs to know, grab the Boater Bootcamp www.boaterbootcamp.com for free.

Funny how about half of these concerns and issues become non-issues simply by sailing instead of motoring. No carbon monoxide, everything with a motor generally has to give way for you, and the draft on a little 16 foot swing keel can cruise over 6-8 inches of water if you happen to wander into a place you're not supposed to be.
Only problem is you need to wait for a windy day, and that half-hour setup and takedown time at the ramp.
"Single Engine V-Hull" We just bought a new Regal LS6.
I’ll never understand why there isn’t some type of required class or licensing for boat operators. In Florida these rules don’t apply at all. It’s a free for all and everyone just does whatever they eat to. So many deaths and incursions each year.
Red Right Returning in the USA applies to returning from the Ocean or Great Lakes not from a large body of water. For example in N Idaho among the several large lakes where I live (we have a navy base here) if I am returning from Lake Coeur d'Alene and enter the channel (Spokane River) the green buoy is on my right/starboard not the red one. Why because this channel technically connects to the Ocean (even though there are dams with no locks so one cannot navigate to the Ocean). This is a common error on rules of the water/road videos
I alway knew the general “Red, Right, Retuning but also knew there we exceptions. Been boatless (last one was sailboat) for years but recently acquired another (power boat) - I’m going to have brush up on this. Thanks for the reminder that it’s not always “cut and dry”, the “red right returning” has exceptions. Cheers!
@@mikem6562 No exceptions really. Sailed on Yellowstone Lake and streams and rivers exiting this lake head east and west, so kind of connects to the ocean over several thousand miles, but two different oceans. So, on this lake they do not reference their navigation buoys to the ocean, so one could consider that an exception, but then again how would one really say which ocean its connected to. Either Pacific or Gulf of Mexico (basically an ocean).
Muscle power like kayaks, etc. have zero right-of-away. This is noted by the Coast Guard. Muscle powered water craft should never be in areas with high powerboat traffic. Of course number one rule is avoid a collision. Can't run them over.
Also Navy vessels have right away over everyone.
That's how you do a video!
