BOAT ALMOST SINKS DUE TO CAPTAIN's MISTAKE | HAULOVER INLET BOATS | BOAT ZONE
Вставка
- Опубліковано 8 лют 2025
- The Boynton Beach Inlet, commonly referred to as the South Lake Worth Inlet, is one such danger zone. With a fixed bridge with an 18-foot clearance, swift currents and shifting sandbars, this is arguably one of the state's most dangerous inlets. This passage was not intended for navigation and was originally created by the Army Corps of Engineers to flush the Lake Worth Lagoon with fresh ocean water. To lament the fact that this inlet requires extreme caution, the jetties aren’t even marked with lights and there are no channel markers!

Taking that small Bayliner out in those waves is asking for trouble. Besides, they get tangled in the fishing rod. What do you think about this situation?
I have been caught in 5' seas with my 18' Bayliner Capri and it did alright, I had screws all over the floor the next day when I clean it and my back was killing me, but damn if that 90hp Force didn't get me home.
Is that place ever not a nightmare? It look like miserable boating, even once you make it out .
Is that an old Chrysler outboard engine ?? Edit: No, it is not.
Bayliner is nothing but junk,buy a real boat!!
@@paulkersey2179 I share in your surprised comment about how well that Bayliner stayed safe and dry, even with that old Force/Chrysler motor that supplied power when it was needed the most in spite of the conditions.
I'll offer a tip. If it's white capping as far as you can see and your boat is less than 30' just turn around it's not going to be any fun!!!
Is the correct answer 💯
You can take any sized boat in anything if you know what your doing. A 30ft even a 60ft boat will never compensate for stupidity.
I'd say 50'
I’ll offer a further tip, if you don’t have at least a thirty footer, don’t use Haulover.
And anytime you are out in those conditions make sure everyone is wearing a PFD.
Fishing line won’t damage the prop but it can damage the lower end seal and let sea water into the lower unit of the outboard.
the only thing crazier than going out in those conditions is going out in those conditions in a bayliner....
If you don’t have a 30+ foot boat or or if you don’t have 10+ years experience on the water… avoid the peak of an outgoing tide, especially with 10+ knot winds out of the east. Also, stay out of the middle of the channel and put all passengers in the middle or rear of the boat.
1:49 dude on the jet ski shaking his head at the guys in what appears to be a 14' early 1980's Bayliner
In a following sea, it's important to keep the boat's speed above that of the overtaking waves. Throttle control and weight distribution are key factors as well. All of the captains featured herein failed to navigate the inlet properly and safely.
I find it amazing more people don't lose their lives in that inlet, particularly the ones who have absolutely no business being there in the first place.
Speaking as someone that used to own a 16 foot boat, there in no way I would take something that small in waves like that.
Every time I see one of your uploads, it makes me want to go get my boat out uncover it, polish it all up... and then put the cover back on.
Except when you see the guy with seven girls in his boat! ;
That girl in the red bathing suit at the end is more dangerous than all of the stuff we just watched...lol
lol
SNOOKY.....SOUNDS LIKE MY KIND OF WOMAN..
I was a member of a tuna trip that got cancelled 3 times. The guy that made the reservations got pissy and wanted to switch to another boat. Problem was, there were few openings.
On the 4 date, the charter captain said to call at midnight, and he'd let us know whether to make the drive or not. The call was that it was rough, if you want to make the drive, come on down, but the final decision would be made @4:00AM.
The guy that made the reservations was overheard bad mouthing the captain, and that set the captain off. Load up boy, you're in for a ride. Three hours in 6-8 foot seas to go had everybody but the captain, the mate and me. Mr Big Mouth chummed for over an hour.
Wasted trip, no refund, no rescheduled trip, thanks to Mr Big Mouth.
The captain knew there was no way Big Mouth was going to be satisfied, so he learned the hard way. If there's 3-4 foot rollers in the inlet, chances are it's going to get worse 40 miles off the coast.
When it comes to boating skills, “When the fenders are out be in doubt”.
The conditions at the inlets are sometime worse than open water. Out going current with incoming swell causes rough waves at the inlet, but once you get out far enough it usually calms down. I would guess that is what the charter Captain's are counting on. In Washington state we have that problem at the Columbia River Bar where the Columbia River meets the Pacific Ocean. We have outgoing current pushing west with I believe a cross current pushing North, couple that with incoming swell we easily get 20+Foot waves. As well as shifting sandbars.
water depth and distance between the waves are a huge factor as well. shallower water will create choppier conditions. also, the waves maybe very similar sizes far out and near the coast, but in open water, there will be much much more distance between the peaks of each wave. creating a slow, up and down motion similar to hills in a car. when the distance between peaks is shorter than the length of the boat, you risk shoving the boat or roughly "jumping" the waves risking injury to passengers.
Yup the wave period is a huge consideration, although there seems to be a lot white caps out there so not for me…
One of the best episodes I have ever seen, perfectly edited and captioned.
Thank you, sir. I appreciate it. It takes a lot of time to search for and add information. I don't always get it right, but I hope to provide entertaining and educational content in my videos.
@@BoatZone your sense of timing as to when to end clip is astounding, I can't imagine how hard that must be.
Wow, a vintage Chrysler engine on the Bayliner. A survivor in salt water!
The Jet-skier shaking his head at 1:50. LoL.
Bayliner is perfect for a pond!🎉🎉
Have to keep the speed up in a followng sea so that the boat is going faster than the wave. Otherwise the wave will push the stern of the boat anyway it wants.
No...the best way to cross a bar into an inlet is to stay on the back of a wave with the bow near the crest (match the wave's speed) all the way across the bar.
Hey Bayliner, the ocean is not a trashcan.
Look at the sea in the background - lots of chop and no pleasure boats. Take a hint and find a nice tiki bar somewhere, especially you small-boaters.
Yeah, it was rough out there. Looks like the conditions aren't very ideal for pleasure boating.
The little baddie at the end was magnificent.
I would not be out in those seas in that little boat. 😮🤯 NO I would not go out in these conditions.
me neither !!
I've watched some video's on launching, docking and retrieving a boat back onto the trailer maybe in the same area of Florida.....if these are the same people, not surprised they went out in that small boat.
Q. Are these people not required to obtain a boat licence?
If tour operators in Australia went out in those conditions, Maritime Australia and the Water Police would cancel their operators licence.
Creates a talking point though..thanks for the video.
@@TA-wg9oino they wouldn’t, stop making crap up. It’s whale watching season here on the east coast of Australia right now. The local operators go out in twin 350hp IRBs in up to 3m swells if it’s not too windy, way bigger than the conditions in this video. Small swells like those in this video they are out on the water unless it’s really windy.
I know this because we are out there with them in sea kayaks in those conditions. We even chat to the local water police who are out there on occasion. They are perfectly happy for us to be there, 4km to 8km offshore, but if we didn’t have the right gear I’m sure they would give us a rightly deserved serve.
That guy really didn't need to bail. That boat looked like it was bailing on it's own just fine. He probably just freaked out.
I’ve never seen a Bayliner capri that small! I didn’t know they still sold parts for those Chrysler/ Force outboards? 😮
5/20/23 -Trophy ! What happened to youre Bilge Pump? Half of these people don't know how to handle a boat in rough seas?
He was in the back bailing
These people should never be in a boat in a pond,let alone haulover inler
@@edwardranno7119 - Most of the waterway is virtually a pond with a big shallow sandbar just around the corner from here where everyone hangs out. Now and then, someone decides to go throw his boat around at the riverbar for a bit. There are quite a few people who know what they're doing, but a lot are just out for a little thrill before going back to the sandbar. Didja notice that everything connected to boats in Miami is called a bar? That's a clue right there.
The lack of basic seamanship and common sense never ceases to amaze me, grew up in south Fla., and always checked sea conditions before a day of Gulf Stream fishing
I’m from the Bahamas and I also do the same, my Dad always said you never play with the ocean
Been out of the Boynton Inlet a bunch of times or the past 25 years.. A few when it was that rough. Some of those trips on the Loggerhead seen in the video.
They've reworked the jetty a few times, extending it further out and curving towards the south across the opening. The onshore currents and surf typically move sand to the south. Depending on the direction of the winds and speed the surf gets crossed up just outside the mouth. Add a sand bar that runs south from the tip of the jetty that will stand the swells up into the breakers you see here. Worse as the tide drops. Once you cut in behind the longer north jetty the waves will calm down. Then you only have to deal with the whirlpool at the end of the south jetty and the currents running through the inlet depending on whether it is a rising or falling tide.
The charter captains have extensive experience running this inlet. Some making two or three trips a day. But occasionally one will get caught and either flipped or pushed into the wall along the inlet.
When the tide is low the captains need to get the stern with the prop and rudder up to clear the sand bar. If it's not too crazy they'll try to ride the back of a wave balancing just shy of falling over the front. When the winds and speed of the waves pick up the boat can't keep up and the next wave will come up under the stern either pushing it bow first into the back of the first wave or spinning around like happened in the video.
That was a close one!
I have been diving on days similar to this and it is not fun. Dangereous getting back on the boat.
You beat me to it!
How can anyone find going out in water like this fun and or enjoyable?!? One big surprise I saw was at around 2:40 where that little Bayliner and the little Chrysler outboard, that captain obviously knew his stuff and the little boat stayed safe and dry, considering the 6-8ft waves. I'm impressed... Not that means anything in the grand scheme of things but I'm sharing my opinion with our boating friends. Be safe everyone as going out in this water is something I personally would not do but hey, what I feel means nothing to anyone else.
@@tonyarsenault4256 not sure on that either Tony, not sure if Force by Mercury has interchangeable parts with Chrysler outboards. If not when that breaks down again that's probably the end of that motor.
I know NOTHING about captaining (?) a small boat, or Seamanship - but it does become very clear and obvious, is that *'SIDE-ON'* to any wave/swell is a definite NO-NO - even to a devout Landlubber like myself . . . . . am i right ?
There's a REAL skill to picking the waves, swells, timing and gaps to make any progress here
These people DON'T have it
The lack of safety-vests and buoyancy aids is frightening !
I've dove in conditions worse than those shown above in a very similar sporty down in Grand Caman. I didn't want to go out given the conditions but out we went. Newlyweds on board were projectile hurling and so were ordered to enter the water first. Thank goodness they did. Timing entry off the back of a boat that's see-sawing four to five feet is no joke. We held onto the anchor line until the only divemaster (the skipper) entered the water as well. We were flapping on the anchor line like flags 20 feet down!
It’s amazing how many of these people go out in these conditions. Ignorance is bliss until someone gets hurt and/or the boat sinks.
Ha, that 1st boat w blue canopy. ..it's engine sounded like oh-no, oh-no, 0h-no !!
bad news, the net can wrap around the prop shaft and damage the seal the lower unit will leak oil and water will get in many $$$ repairs.
properly maintained boat with working bilge pump
they ought to be able to refund some when conditions out way the risks
I can believe people volunteered to go out in those waters with the small boats
we caught a few fishing lines in our day, we just stop, put the engine in neutral to protect the propeller and cut the line
The way that Trophy is sitting heavy in the water, and the way my man is back there bailing…. I think what they could have done to avoid is put the drain plug into the boat. Hope the bilge pump was helping him on the other side
I still can’t believe people take boats made for rivers and lakes to the sea!
9:00 Someone with a decent bailing scoop! Let me file that with my collection of hen's teeth. ;)
boat owners in south florida drive boats like people in NY CT MA drive cars
let's hope boat owners everywhere start channeling their inner Captain Slow and take it easy on the water. It's all about having fun while staying safe
Some of those boats are made for lakes and rivers. I would never take them into the ocean.
The telephoto lens compresses the choppy seas... But why would you venture out there in a 20 ft boat?... Sunday?....
All trouble comes from taking small craft out in conditions that are "small craft advisories". That dive boat isn't a small craft. The Bayliner totally is and has no business being out there.
The guy that is scooping out water by hand, is that considered a manual bildge pump?
Some of these so called "Charter Captains" need their licences revoked...
Now 11:20pm❤❤❤
Is there a video tha explains the mapping of the inlet and the reason for such crazy waves?
Probably not, but it's not that complicated. This is an inlet passing through a barrier island, a chain of which runs for a longs ways up the coast. The inland side is a sheltered channel. The current from rivers emptying into the inland channel flows out through the inlet, but it varies depending on things like rainfall and wind. It also dumps sand just outside the inlet (river) mouth, which makes the water shallow and causes waves to rear up and break. The tide comes in or goes out, and both conditions cause currents that either add to the river current or run into it and create washing machine turbulence. Wind from the North causes the water level in the channel to rise and increases the outward current, wind from the East pushes the ocean water up and causes current up the channel, and the whole thing ends up being chaotic and sometimes unpredictable. Boat wakes also bounce off the walls and reinforce each other and all the other craziness.
You're right. It needs a video.
I would probably go out with the jet ski. Not the boat. Wouldn’t diving be cloudy given how churned up the water is? I remember watching a guy be scared to death in barnegat inlet. Was just going in circles, coasties came out to try to help him. They ended up showing him how to get through the inlet backwards.the coxswain of the 47 footer had so much patience with the guy.
I'll never understand the need to go out in the snot!!! ....especially down south where you have 12 months of good fishing and boating, as opposed to the northeast where you have 6 or 7 months of decent weather!!
Just like it says, Bayliner.. should be captained in a bay, not open seas.
These people don’t understand how difficult it is to swim in these conditions and that drowning is permanent.
What is that Bayliner even thinking??????? OMG.. Credit Card Captain!!!
Dear Sir, Thank you indeed for the wonderful tubes you made, as well as for the essential information you provide. Enjoy your time and Take Care. John Jack Kaplanian
Thanks for watching John
I think the drain plug Mafia got him
Arizona registration in Florida?
Fishing nets and lines damaging a hull? Well, I guess so if I tie a weight to the end and make the hull a target there gonna be damage 😮. See, damage can be averted if we pick up our debris and don't come up fishing on an anchored fishing boat.
The boat taking on water needs to work on his bilge pump. It was hardly pumping any water at all.
Is it just me or does that Yamaha on that Sea King have a worn impeller?
They not read the weather
Obviously not 🤣🤣🤣
I go boating for fun none of this looks like fun o don’t understand why people go out on this
When the charter boats are struggling, it's time to stick to the intracoastal.
Amazing how it takes people so long to realize that they’re in trouble before turning around.
I would be spewing in those conditions.
Scooping out water? How about bailing?
At least the two guys on Trophy know that there is no reason to put on PFDs. Just a little water, so shouldn’t be a problem, even if one gets pitched overboard. Of course, if both go over, that might present more of a problem.
Where are people actually going in those conditions?
Two Best Days in a Boaters Life the Day they Buy it and the Day they Sell it
As far as the $ goes, I think there's a difference if the client cancels and the captain cancels. that might be why the captain went out in the weather and waited for the client to beg him to go back in.
taint no way hozay when the waves are bigger that your boat 🚤 its too rough.
There is no way I would deploy divers in that sea. I've lost sight of my divers once in a lesser sea - it's really not fun. (Found them - they were fine - just hard to see in the waves) Good call to come back. (Underwater might be OK - doubt the vis would be great - but waiting time on the boat wouldn't be fun, and getting back onboard in that swell is at least exciting...)
These people need redundant powerful bilge pumps or self drying plugs, so if the boat takes on water, they can help drain it by getting up on plane. Stopping is bad.
Just a suggestion... maybe the rule should be that the boat is ALWAYS bigger than the waves?..... imho
But the seas are not rough at all, less than 1m to 1.5m swells. It’s only a bit bouncy on the bar crossing, like they always are. 400m out from where most of the boats are filmed it’s fine. Here in Australia you would have crews of people heading out on surf skis to play in those sorts of conditions. Lots would prefer it to be a bit bigger for even better runners.
The problem is any sort of conditions can be dangerous for people who have no idea what they are doing.
You can Tell the Beginners when the Leave their Fenders out..
I lived in Boca and wanted nothing to do with Boynton Inlet. Boca was bad enough.
Some of those girls gonna burst their booties 😂
Video are great, but I don't know why the captain of these small vessels will not make the passengers wear their life vests. They Will Save Your Life.. you wear your seat belt in your vehicle but not your life vest..Irresponsible boat owners.
Yeah, I totally agree with you! It's just common sense to wear life vests on small boats. Let's hope more people get the message and start prioritizing their safety out on the water!
To me this looks like small craft conditions and all but the most experienced boaters with capable boats should not go out. Plus there is a strong outgoing tide with opposite onshore wind - very tough conditions in just about any inlet.
Nothing smaller than a sixty footer on a day like that. And only then if I was trying to impress the babes. 😂😊
Chrysler outboard, haven't seen one in years.
Well… better luck next time …. 😜
Charters almost never cancel because they can get the customer to cancel first.
Poor Captain'-íng from the first guy, too reckless into swell and he should have pulled those girls back to the console so they can ride it more safely.
So glad I'm on the west coast.
10:35 I'd prefer my money returned or trip rescheduled. But, terms dictate. . .
Would you rather lose your money...or your lunch? Except for a few die-hard old salts, this can't be fun.
Bay liners have a dipped bow. No business in those conditions.
How can you have a boat as big as the Trophy and not have a working bilge pump SMH
When in an Inlet that's already a dangerous place due to traffic & weather(wind/surf), CuT the Lines/Net obstruction before it
turns into something else altogether...... OR don't & gamble on the day? peace & be safe out there !!
Good shape 11:21 👌😍
That boat is waaay too small to be there .. if it’s stopped jn. It’s tracks from a fishing line … it needs to be in a pond instead
That guy with the bowrider have balls to take it to the ocean specially when is so rough, crazy stupid.
Look at all the sargassum. It’s a real thing.
Idiots in boats
The only thing big waves are good for is surfing. This ain't no relaxing ride.
👍👍
rookie mistake, on a rough day sit in back of boat....or just stay home and wax boat...
