Inside Miami's Luxury Boat Scene
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 тра 2021
- In this episode of Speed Daemons, we explore how Miami's natural environment and complex history led to its love affair with speedboats.
We met with the racers, manufactures, and stuntmen who are the center of Miami's speedboat obsession. Our host manages to get to the heart of the story but loses his shirt in the process.

It doesn’t get more Miami than speedboats and coke
Can confirm
AGREED.
It's literally 50% of Miami Vice
@@Shinkajo (insert "Eminence Front" here)
God bless FLORIDA
I never made the connection until now but this is exactly the same as Nacar and moonshine running
What’s Nacar?
Let me guess. As soon as you read the title in your recommended, it clicked .
Perhaps not a surprise that many NASCAR drivers and team owners live on Lake Norman, NC, minutes from where most of teams are based. And that offshore boats powered by the fruit of their engine shops that you can hear long before you see are a common sight there. 🙂
Nascar yes, moonshining no. Smuggling has been around before moonshining.
Facts
Well this was surprisingly more interesting than I expected.
Not as suprising as the fact vice has 14m subscribers
@@sammysedore That’s not a valid point at all because Vice puts outs a ton of absolute garbage tier videos these days, Old Vice brings the subscribers not the Vice we have today
It’s an interesting vice video. There’s only like two
I was just thinking the same thing
pretty sure this is an old video
Wake up Miami with that Lamborghini boat every morning
It's for sale
Miami would have to sleep for that to happen
"Drink a bunch of bud light" *Everyone pulls out bottle of liquor"
Love the storytelling ability of the creators at vice 💪🏼
Dude ikr it’s totally legit.
About as legit as your channel😂
its not VICE's content, LOL, they literally copied it from few years ago
@@dertythegrower Shane did some insane stuff, and Simon too
All there videos are greatly produced!
What story? This was the most empty video ive seen on vice. I could have learned as much only by watching an image of a speedboat..
As someone who recently went to Miami for the first time, I was baffled by the size of these boats and pure luxury I witnessed.
First time down there i get robbed.😂
@@ahzerq7296 I brought camera gear and all, once I got out and about I decided to take iphone photo's hahah was a lil sketchy but next time wont be going to miami to do a photo trip lol
@@dertythegrower how far west though
@@blake3474 North west MIAMI but south beach is even dangerous now
@@dertythegrower honestly i find this whole thing disgusting. Lavish extreme displays of wealth. Much of it ill gotten, while the honest workers are struggling. Fetishisation of wealth has no benefits for our society
Better to get slapped by a hand in the face than to get slapped in the face by waves doing 120mph...
One of the most dangerous world records to date
Anyone ever tell you are a genius for having some basic common sense ? Lol 😆 🤣
Notice that neither of them wore helmets, eye protection or life vests? Ouch.
That’s probably most certainly death
If half of the owners of these boats were investigated, oh my the stories…
I grew up and now I work in the marine industry. Grew up doing fiberglass/gelcoat repair, and now I’m working on upholstery. It’s one of my dreams to build a go fast boat like those.
Everytime I see one, I just stop and admire it
GOTTA GO FAST
@@357-swagnumultramagax9 SUPER FAST
Worked at a marina in florida for a year. Probably $100 million in yachts and speedboats never left their slips, but always needed maintenance.
Yeah, that’s pretty much the case everywhere. Most people that can blow enough money to afford overpriced centerconsoles don’t have the time to use them. (Not that centerconsoles are particularly useful for anything else than getting drunk in good weather)
If it flies, floats, or fucks, rent it.
@@TrolloTV aren't centre consoles good for fishing?
@@TheRamstoss They are, but only for day trips. You may still end up spending half a million on your fishing vessel and then discover you don’t have a toilet
Terrible investment
i love how vice always come through with some random ass topic but great video lol
This is old Vedio...they uploaded again
Facts 😂
UA-cam Gold👌🏿
The people are a little weird but I'm glad this is a thing. Subcultures like this are what makes places unique.
You mean wealthy
Subculture? It’s just a bunch of rich ppl.
Weird? You mean ballers living in a beautiful free state without democratic stupidness? Yes sir
@@ALEX.THE.RUSSIAN 🤣
@@ALEX.THE.RUSSIAN it’s one of the most corrupt and crazy states in the union; The most covid infections and deaths, tons of crime and drug abuse… yep, that’s republican stupidity and hypocrisy in a nutshell.
Growing up in South Florida I never realized that Cigarette boats were a thing that most people didn't see on the reg.
americans generally don't realize that there are other people living different lives elsewhere...
@@Ass_of_Amalek There is nothing that you saw as a child that was particular to where you lived that you assumed was normal most places? If not, I am sorry that you live somewhere that boring.
@@dertythegrower That is a good point. They increase as you get towards Miami. I saw them all the time in Pompano and Ft Lauderdale but almost never in Palm Beach County.
Most of my adult boating is in Northeastern lakes, cigarette boats just aren't that big here. The season is like 3 months long and you can't really go that fast for that far so it doesn't make sense. Besides the basic lake boats and pontoons, bass boats are probably the next most popular.
Southfloridelphia ok, florida man
Remember my uncle fliped his speedboat and luckily floated away without a scratch..but the boat sank😂
that's why the Lambo expert told the novice, "Straight, no quick moves!" while they are going over 100 mph.....
Damn
I couldn’t stop laughing🤣🤣🏁
“He’s gonna slap me if I F up!”
Kept thinking about Jerry Smith's adventures with a Talking Cat in Miami the whole time i watched this especially when they all head out to Chjeiff's Boat to party minus Jerry.
Never knew i needed a powerboat doc. Definitely shoulda made this one a little longer!
was raised around these in the Keys. Got to see and sit in the Donzi’s from the new Miami Vice while they still had shrink wrap, before it was filmed. Amazing machines they are...I’ll be proud to at least own a Spectre one day
There's a new Miami vice?
@@dertythegrower oh, that one. 15 years isn't really new though, lol
Great doc. This is a man with passion exercising crafts at the highest level. Really enjoyed this documentary, the footage and the quality of the interview! I cannot stand those "supercarblonie" videos where its just about woooow, so cooool, paid promotion presentation level. Please take this documentary as an inspiration to do your own
254mph...🤯 I’ve grew up in old school Jet Boats and 80mph was gnarly. The design and research to keep the safe solid and level is insane🔥
Reporter had the sickest time making this didn't he. It's like he's describing his best holiday ever
Guess noone was signing your footage release forms at that boat party, huh.
Public space dude.
Crockett and Tubbs.... Who wants to be my wheelman? I got the white suit jackets and pants.
I'm Crockett your tubbs
@@B.a.r.c.o.d.e.... Yeah buddy!!!
I had the powder blue jacket
This was on motherboards channel a while ago, guess i'll watch it twice
I grew up in central Florida and my grandparents lived in Sarasota Florida and when I was a kid and would visit my grandparents naturally we spent 90 percent of the time on the beach. I remember watching a lot of offshore races from Sarasota beach.
You still in Florida to this day?!
@@77D777 no I currently live about as far away as you can get in Washington state lol!
@@mike407r oh wow I'm here in Jacksonville. Washington state is nice. Your always welcomed back to the sunshine state!
I had a dream once that a buddy of mine bought a boat in Miami, so we flew their from L.A to take it to Mexico's gulf coast. Then that dream became a nightmare when we ran out of gas, beer, and coke. Thankfully i woke up right after that. True story
True story that you had a dream? What even was the point of that
@@henrylivingstone2800 he has to let us know that the dream did in fact happen
@@JudgeHoldenTudix
Yeh but the implication of saying “true story” is that usually it’s used after telling a story that might cast doubt on its truth due to the relatively outlandish nature associated with the story itself. Like telling people you caught a shark with a toothpick and a shoelace while on a date with a supermodel, the story is so outlandish but not outside the realm of possibilities so one would follow the telling of the story with “true story” to indicate that it indeed happened. But with a dream the same rule doesn’t apply because anything is plausible within a dream, so the “true story” isn’t applicable because it isn’t a true story unless the OP is referring to the fact that the dream happened then he wouldn’t have had to say “true story” because the nature of dreams as being unabated by the constraints of reality and it is implied anything and everything is possible.
Lmao my boi relax! U really got bothered over that comment? Cause i made it all up True Story!
Cortana remind me to get Henry some flowers
@@user-ej2wr5bg2v
It didn’t bother me but what’s the point of saying “true story” when referring to something that is inherently fictional, what is the expression referring to the dream or the fact that you had a dream.
It’s like saying “long story short” when in fact you’re going to ramble on and on.
I hope to genuinely love my life as much as Larry, he's a great dude
5:07
I hope we all do. Must find a passion that lasts.
This video was shot more than 4 years ago. Larry passed away in 2017.
Mad stuff, I was fascinated with a motor boat alone. This would feel rediculously enticing.
FREAKING AMAZING.
I grew up in Miami and I just don't get it. I don't want to be in my swimsuit with a bunch of drunk people in a boat in the ocean....sounds like a nightmare to me! LOL
Pros and cons to it all lol. We run a fine line between nightmare and night of a lifetime on boats
I love it lol
Because you obviously grew up on the wrong side of Miami lmao
@@robindodd1969 tell me, what side is the correct one?
@@lesabri The side where people have boats and parties ;)
Another video on this plz
Miami looks like a DREAM on the water. Might have to take a speedboat tour the next time I’m out there lol 🔥
Need more info on Ben Kramer and Apache Powerboats.
Man, good times on the water.
165 Mph 🤯 that’s impressive
Did you hear when they said they now go 240 mph......and this was filmed in 2016.....
Let’s face it. That’s very quick. Throw in booze & whatever else = hella dangerous
On something that seat 8, comfortably..
@@b-dogs1038 Reminds me of that clip from a few years ago. Guy was trying to show off with a Fountain, lost control of it, and damn near killed everyone on board. You could see the driver's face pancake off the dash, then the floor, as the passengers got tossed everywhere. Thankfully the driver was wearing a kill switch lanyard, and nobody got tossed from the boat.
We had a guy die here on Lake Norman about 8 years ago. Familiar story. New Donzi. Big power Merc blue motors in the engine bay. Out for the first time in it. Husband loses control. Both are ejected from the boat. No life jackets. No kill switch. Boat ends up spinning in a circle. Wife was saved by another boater. Husband drowned.
Unsafe boating WILL kill your ass, especially as the speeds go up...
@BWM135. Yes. I’m hearing you. 60 mph=
that’ll do thanks
Really they're all just subconsciously getting prepped for when Miami is completely underwater. 🏝🚤
*they're all! 🙂
@@bobfor4868 why can't words just spell themselves?
40 years ago they said it and yet here it is, still at same levels as before.
@@HyperXism ahh good to know! We should stop everything we are doing to preserve Florida. Thanks for the insight!
@@Maderasdesign Like what?
How to tell me you do coke without saying 🤔
Also, how to tell me you're in your recently divorced, midlife crisis.
I felt belittled when I was on a shore with thousands of yachts.
you were
@@onedone2011 wrong! All of them mortgaged!
Need to check out Michigan's boat scene. Sterling Performance in particular.
This reporter’s voice cracks cracks me up so much
He's probably done some powerboating up in the 1000 Islands eh?
@@peterwhite034 probably🤣
anybody else rewatching dexter?
New seasons coming out too
Think I saw the Slice of Life at one of the sandbar parties
Glad I'm a mechanic in this growing field
"Offshore racing"
Cool
"Drug smuggling"
Makes sense lol
Quick Miami Knowledge:
If the girl you trying to talk to post that she on a boat, you lost her already.
Why?
Damn I wish this was a 1hr long episode!
Vice finally bringing that top dog content back
This gives me anxiety looking at all the ways I would accidentally bump into another boat or yacht in the harbor or dock.
Is this a rerun? Cause I've seen it before somewhere. Unless they sharing someome else's content.
The thumbs down are from Manatees.
Manatees hang near the shoreline.
And dolphins
they're mostly in canals not in the middle of the open ocean
Not funny
@@loreleilazuli8874 exactly
Fun fact: Florida also holds the record for manatee fatalities caused by boats 😎
Fun fact manatees are dieing more from lawn fertilizers than boats!
We're screwed, too many people who only care about their own vices, nothing else.
Fun fact. Who cares?
@@thefishingfool3397 fun fact. the planet dies and so do you!
@@thefishingfool3397 fun fact your the only 1 to like your comment!
Watching this video reminded me of the scene in The Simpsons. Knightboat, the crime solving boat.
Feels like origins of Nascar but on water. Luv motor sports , contraband is cool too.
These boats go faster then nascar's
Watch the channel dedicated to these boats sinking, crashing, neck breaking. It’s called WavyBoats, it’s the same inlet (Haulover)
AMAZING !!
I see what you did. How many years have you guys dreamed of combining 'Miami' and 'Vice'?
haaa lol
04:20 you can see the 41 Apache Hammerhead in the back. Epic boat
Damn actual boat information
There’s no exit for all those boats in the intro..? How do they get out
Get out and go where? It's Florida. There's nowhere to go.
Helicopters...😏
@@jeyDsixx18 impossible! This isn't the 80s. People can't get away with frizzy hair anymore. Helicopters are too windy! LOL X3
That looks like a boat show so they will just move them out one by one once the show is done
Drawbridge style gates to prevent theft.
Nice video Vice
Is this a re-released video? I watched this months ago.
Can they make an update video?
That’s soo cool
Oh wow that's cool af ! :D
This came up on my algorithm after seeing that dude on the water crash with the girls 😂
He was a jack ass😂😂
Better check the Ozzy Man Reviews for his boat crash compilation, then. Trust me, he's a bloody legend!
WOW. I don't think a lot of you realize how fast 245MPH is on WATER. Freaking insane... 😁
well now i want one of those!
If "Let Me Drive The Boat" was a person!
Can anybody take a guess of which camera gear they’re shooting with for this documentary?
I always thought it was hilarious that in the 1980's the fast boat builder to the stars and cartels also built them for the DEA but they went a bit slower.
These guys should try the thai longtail boat
The way he mentions why they were built he says “drug smuggling” like Lamborghini literally advertises “best boat to smuggle drugs on the water with” lmfao
Anyone know the name/artist for the intro first song of the video?! Wow it’s good
Hope the young cat has SPF 5000 sunscreen. He’s almost opaque
I miss Tomas he was the best journalist
A million bucks to go as fast as a 30 year Honda Accord or a 40 year old Cessna 172....but gosh water! :D
Jealousy is a curse eh?
But can the Accord or Cessna do it on water? That's the key right...
True, my moms Kia will do 115mph as well.
And of course it’s a way different thing on the water, I just don’t get the amounts of money blown on overpriced center consoles. Spend 300k? Nice, you just earned yourself some fun every other weekend and a boat that doesn’t even have a bathroom
@@TrolloTV no bathroom? You know you’re on this thing called the ocean?
@@charliemarkovic4301 Shitting in a bucket and dumping it in the sea is exactly what i want to do when i just spent 300k on a boat, yes.
Does vice just re release videos? Ive already seen this
He was wearing shorts in the beginning...but his legs are so white they were blinding people lol 😂
Is this a re-upload?
LOL at the Mercury Racing 1650s with Lamborghini painted on the intakes. Those are not lamborghini engines at all 😂. Rad video tho! Awesome footage.
wow did not realize it went this deep
Hahahah looking at that thumbnail thinking damn how do you get out of your parking spot? Lol
That's what I really wanted to know lol
Reupload?
Good watch
We're racing......
As we both sit straight up on the edge of our seat!
I took a ride once in a lil v drive with a blower motor down a small river at 70mph....never been in a boat since.
TY 😊
I wasn't expecting to see something about Florida that didn't horrify me tbh kinda cool
Coming up next
Abandoned Boats of Miami
There is also a slow boat culture in FL you should investigate.
You have already posted this video. Ive seen this one already, years ago.
The mikey guy is like a gremlin haha lmao..
rich people interviewing rich people talking about million dollar boats ... quite the struggle lol
You went to Miami, did a video on high dollar boats, and picked the ONE boat type that has been left for dead, all because it used to have an interesting history. When people splash money on a boat these days it's on the new breed of crazy center consoles pushing over 40' with luxury yatch appointments. Midnight express, scout, sea hunter, freeman, invincible....and the list goes on. Mercury even made a special new V12 outboard for these monsters.
Don't forget the custom built Pardo and VanDutch boats. The guy that owns Lamborghini of Miami has a Lambo-designed Pardo that is insane.
Caption's wrong, he didn't lose his shirt. 😔😔😔
As someone from Miami, this was a shallow cover piece. Glazed over a lot just to get to the fancy shots.
Exactly! I hate how little effort media puts into depicting Miami correctly
@@miless3450 remeber Trevor Noah when he did the Miami daily show? Wtf was that?
I have a few stand up jetskis and a Seadoo. I love being on the water and out in the sun. I enjoy fishing on a boat and I like wakeboarding. That said, just going fast in a boat is so boring. When you watch videos of people going fast on a boat, they all look uncomfortable and nobody looks to be having fun. Boating for the sake of boating sucks.
boat demand is so high right now, a simple 17' boston whaler is preordering as late as the end of 2023 right now.
they should try racing like they do with thai river boats. those are simple and crazy.
what's the song used in the end of this video?
