I have a small boat 19 foot and when the waves are too high I stay in the intercoastal waterway and just enjoy the day. Even the big boats cannot handle the ocean waves at times. Boating is about enjoying your time on the water.
thank good the uscg knows how to navigate in tough seas. my daughter worked for disney cruise lines and was a lifeboat captain . tested by the cg in all types of weather. had to know how to maintain the engine and ration food and water. she was the only other person i trusted with my boat. she had one better than me , celestial navigation , using a sextant.
Watching these videos has proven to me that you cant fix stupid. "Lets put the little kids up in the bow where they have nothing to hold on to. Theyll have fun."
Been watching your videos for several years now and I love them! Really enjoyed the extended version of compilations with the description/narrating and the background of the camera crews at the end. I've never been to Florida im in California but if i ever get out there im gonna make it a point to get out to Haulover thanks to your channel.
Boat fires and purposeful floundering have been happening like that since before I ever left Florida (can’t wait to move back btw), in 2003. And yeah it happens on purpose….when I lived up the treasure coast I knew a lot of salvors (who are all living off lended money), who’s boats always seem to catch on fire or sink when they had a rough year. lol. So I am absolutely in the camp this is only just now being caught on camera. Maybe not all are purposefully done, but a whole lot of them are…… Great channel btw. It’s cool seeing someone capture these sharp as a marble captains at Haulover.
As I said, they lack common sense because they play the god card because they have so much money and think they can do whatever they want and nothing bad will happen to them Mother Nature has a plan for that though👍👍👌😊
Just getting to this video today, September 2, 2024. Burned boat being towed in was absolutely awful!!!!! Dreadful!!!! Shocking!!!! Gorgeous boat to be destroyed!!!!! So, so very sad! I'm up in central Ontario, Canada, and have never seen this type of situation before. Please try to capture more of these sorry, sorry boats to hopefully shock more people. Nonetheless, as an aside, after this comment I would like to add, I do really enjoy your content. Thank you. Always entertaining and well, shocking too!
Wealth has nothing to do with bad boating skills. With the exception of inherited money, the wealthy folks I know did not get wealthy being stupid. They are dedicated to their efforts and work long hours for many years to accumulate wealth. I would argue there are wayyyyyyy more stupid poor people in this world than wealthy!
Never ceases to amaze me that the driver of the little boats with passengers in the bow seating area don't slow enough to prevent passengers from getting thrown about. Incredible.
If they slowed down that much they would get swamped and sink the people on the bow should never even be there , there is actually a safety law that says ride on the bow of a boat while under normal speed operation is illegal for that very reason
also, it seems all adults think because they can swim that life jackets are not needed. the amount of people being nearly thrown out of the boat is hilarious
Dude, me and my sister and our 3 cousins would ride in my dads pickup truck missing a tailgate and I had to be maybe 5 years old (the youngest) 😂 the shit people could get away with in the 80s…My daughter was born in Philippines and they not only don’t know what baby car seats are, they literally make baby sized helmets for throwing your family of 6 on your 125cc moped that will get murked by a tour bus one day. Americans are over protective and miserable. People lose their house in a hurricane and act like it’s the end of the world, just crying…Filipinos are out swimming in the flood that literally 187’d ten thousand people laughing it off that their life was swept away in a storm, totally positive about it. It really puts things into perspective and how ridiculous we are. Yeah, should you put a life vest on your kid? Yes. Should you call the cops, get DCFS involved and humiliate someone for being an irresponsible parent 🤷♂️ I think most people, even bad parents don’t know they’re bad parents or are trying to hurt their kids. They might be from a third world country where life is cheap and short and just honestly don’t know better.
55:32 The jetskier is definitely in the wrong. Inlets and Outlets are made to go IN and OUT to reach a marina or harbor, they are basically like a two way street and you are always to remain parallel to the shore on each side. They are not made for idiots on jetskis to do donuts in. Also according to maritime regulations, the smaller vessel with more maneuverability should always give way to the bigger vessel that has less maneuverability.
Thanks for the great videos. I am not even a boat guy and I really enjoy them. You have an extensively vast knowledge of the types of boats and how to tackle the inlet.
It never ceases to amaze me how many of these boats have kids on board without life vests (especially in choppy weather). In some situations, adults should have life vests on too and I would argue children under a certain age should wear vests). In the US, between 2003 and 2007, over 700 people were killed from being man overboard situations. It's estimated that 90% happen in calm seas under a foot (US Coastguard stats).
@@MarniTurboHoarder Yes I'm an Aussie and as a young kid, we all wore life jackets. I gave US stats as this video seemed to be from the US. Thanks for replying to my comment.
Agreed, its no good scrambling for the life vest after somethings happened. Me and my son pretty much always have our lifejackets on, after a while you forget your wearing them, its pretty well drummed into you hear in NZ.
@@objectiveobserver4278 In Florida the law is: A child under the age of 6 must wear a USCG-approved Type I, II or III personal flotation device while onboard a vessel under 26 feet in length while the vessel is underway. I find that to be way too lax. But we are talking about Florida where they don't even require these people to get boating/captains licenses. Its insane.
I really enjoy your excellent videos. I like the that you provide details on each boat. Do these people realize that the sea is very unforgiving to stupidly 😮
what was the endgame here? boat tows them a couple feet then crashes them back into the peir, tows them again and crashes them again and then leaves while ignoring a bigger boat that could have towed them to shore...color me confused
I always remind my passenger to let the boat protect you! Then ask them, if they think their leg or arms are gonna stop 12k lb boat that is being pushed around like a feather in the wind by the waves, from hitting anything? Don't be an amputee! : )))
The power boat was overtaking the jet ski. He must give way. The power boat had excessive speed for the conditions and did not post a proper lookout. The fact that the jet ski is small or hard to see has nothing to do with it.
@@cristoforopassaro2219 Did my comment say that it had something to do with the jet ski being small or hard to see? The collision regulations govern the maneuverability of the vehicle. For instance, a sailboat is very difficult to maneuver under sail, but they still need to watch out for larger boats that are under power, no matter where they are. A jey ski can maneuver far quicker and easier than a boat. The boat was not making any unpredictable maneuvers which gives the jet ski ample opportunity to make way.
@@cristoforopassaro2219 The original video this clip came from shows more of the situation. The jet skiers were doing circles in the inlet hitting the wakes for airtime. General consensus on the video was that the inlet is lane of travel not a playground and the jet skiers were overstaying their welcome. I still think its hilarious how they circle the boat like a bunch of hoodlums on motorcycles 😂😂
Wow! All Fun and Games until someone gets washed overboard. When We See the mates Launching it, I can hear the sound of Broken Motor Mount bolts and Creaking of the hull. Aye . Great stuff and Merry Christmas 🌴 🎅 St. Augustine Crew.
trim and throttle are exactly what should be used in that condition given the length of the hull to extend over the short-distanced swells @@agcsragcsr
In my experience in the inlets, most of these boat owners are clueless idiots, the watercraft crowd are much more-so. When they screw up, they expect a 50 ft yacht to just stop, because after all, they can.
Man, I had a 43' boat that led an easy life in a freshwater lake in central Texas with a covered slip. There is NO WAY I would touch a used boat from that area. I mean, the saltwater intrusion alone, let alone all the banging and smacking that happens to some of these boats that really weren't built for ocean conditions. Talk about old before their time!
I am originally from Michigan, and boats on the Great Lakes are in much better shape. I now living in Florida where boats take a BEATING, and buying a used boat is damn risky!
9:47 The captain did an excellent job of exhibiting the hull’s strength. 😂. If not for the courage of the fearless crew, the DGS Monster would be lost. The DGS Monster would be lost.
Apparently they are. I know there's at least one story of one lasting an incredible time and distance- the Sarah Joe. 5 guys set out from Maui in 1979 and didn't come back. 10 years later, most of the boat and the remains of one of the men was found in the Marshall Islands, over 2000 miles away through the Pacific. Seeing the picture of the boat, it's kind of crazy just how much is left after 10 years of being out in the elements with zero maintenance.
The part about the burning boats I believe it’s a little bit of both of everything one you are filming more on the river and you see more damage but also I believe because of the insurance, the maintenance and the fees and payments people are doing this and there’s small percentage of Accidental fires because of the owners doesn’t know what he’s doing on the boat
I've been playing around on the water for decades now. I came to the conclusion that there are basically 3 types of boater/sailors. A) Clued in. B) Clued in with money. C) Clueless and D) Clueless with lots of money. As for boats burning/sinking, add in abandoned. Saw an article from about 8 years ago, about all the boats abandoned all over Florida. Literally hundreds of them. Something goes wrong with your job and boats are the first to be ditched. Scrape off the registration, and hull number, beach it in the middle of nowhere and walk away.
IQ distribution curve? 😂😢😊 The way these boats are handled most should be wearing bike helmets sSamming into fiberglass bulkheads, with hard marine cusihons hurts.
They got all upset when three of them ran up on the boat and he saw one and turned to avoid it but turned into the other because they don’t know collision avoidance procedure. Everyone turns right
Watched so many of these, in 2023 and prior years; great to see a year end compilation. I would suggest however, that the main theme of boats that experience trouble or even just unnecessary roughness, is not the inlet itself, although that the very subject of the video. Why is the inlet the way it is? Because the conditions BEYOND THE INLET are inhospitable! You shouldn't be going out into the open water - which is what the inlet takes you to! (duh) - in those kinds of conditions! That is the common theme here. The inlet is just a symptom of what you shouldn't be headed into in the first place.
But the USCG gives bar crossing info enough to make a more educated decision. I just dont understand the cavalier attitude of Florida boaters...I guess maybe it is the water temp. And the boat designs are odd...with that drooping bow that is literally the worst possible design for a boat that has to cross that bar to go to the ocean.
Just because you bought it, doesn't mean you have the skills to captain it. The amount of people in the bow while facing strong oceans shows that the ability to buy far outweighs the ability to be a good and safe captain
Wonder how some these boats fare up structurally after all that pounding from going through that inlet ? especially the transom w/multi eng. setup, keeps those marine shops in business $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ !
Where to begin. Fist of all, too fast, slow everything down. Second, move passengers aft. Third, no one forward of the helm during rough passage. Fourth, slow down, ride the back of the wave coming in. Going out, time the waves and take them more on the quarter.
I’ve been watching your videos for a while now and I almost never see any vintage Chris crafts or anything like that. Surely they’re still some around down there ?
Ive been to haulover many times and watched plenty videos of this but tell me, where do the boaters go when they get past the inlet? The white caps and swell out there tell me it doesn't look very pleasant
the coast guard only requires a captain's license if you have paying passengers but some states require you to take a boater's course but most of the time not for recreational purposes
In Canada you need a pleasure boaters license for anything 10hp or more. Unfortunately it has no limits skiff or 250f yacht same ticket. Comercial ticket is basically in tonage and starts at 5t passenger/15t fishboat and goes from there.
@@graham2631 at least we get rudimentary knowledge on channel markers,stand on/off etc.if only there was training on launching and loading.public launches are the worst for dealing with novice boaters.
It depends on the state. Here in Maryland we have to attend a multi-week training course and pass a test. My only issue with it is that anyone before before 1971 is exempt, and there's more of them than you'd think out piloting boats for the first time.
Totally agree with you. What’s with these cheesy sad pricks with boats that are an extension of their penis? Total idiots. Too much money to not know what to do with.
@@promisefisheries7901I don’t know about that. I think some ports are more apt to attract the type of boaters that don’t know any better like a lot of the boats in this video. Wasupfool5692 was absolutely right. A lot of these people have no business owning a boat. I saw a pontoon boat as well as a bunch of ski boats & bow riders, which were the boats with the bows that point down. The type of boater that thinks it’s a good idea to run a boat like that through that inlet is an idiot. Those kind of boats only belong in fresh water lakes. AT MY home port which is Oregon Inlet NC, you’ll never see boats like that. I’m not saying that there are never any inexperienced boaters in my waters, but mostly what you’ll see are commercial fishermen & charter boats most of which are large flybridge sport fishers. My boat, which is a Mako 236, is the smaller of the boats you’ll see out there, and my boat is offshore capable.
I have served in the navy for 76 years and have been a certified commercial cruise ship captain for 89+ years. I have owned 18 vessel's and was even a certified marine tech during my childhood. Because of this experience I can verify you are correct these people should not operate a boat
47:20 and on; From what the direction of the current looks to be, the guy actually does a perfect job with the anchor. Causing enough drag on the left side of the boat so the current doesn,t slam them into the rocks, but creates a forward motion. This is how more or less a sailing boat works.
About your question at the beginning of the video and the incident of the Midnight Express: itś my strong believe that this is the result that everybody in the states can ride such a boat without driving license, or experience. Itś not a matter of the type of the boat, or the prize of the motors. Greetings from Germany. I like your channel the most of all boat channels.

rather prof that rich people are cheap people , you get what you pay , bad captain, cheap captain, not educated captain equals bad sea experience.

In my experience in the inlets, most of these boat owners are clueless idiots, the watercraft crowd are much more-so. When they screw up, they expect a 50 ft yacht to just stop, because after all, they can.
Came for the boats, the Bikinis are a bonus extra.
Credit card Captains, you have to love them lol.
I just love the Axopar cross cabins with pilot houses so you stay completely dry.
Man, I had a 43' boat that led an easy life in a freshwater lake in central Texas with a covered slip. There is NO WAY I would touch a used boat from that area. I mean, the saltwater intrusion alone, let alone all the banging and smacking that happens to some of these boats that really weren't built for ocean conditions. Talk about old before their time!
Yes,, those high end boats have seen a lot of banging for sure.
I am originally from Michigan, and boats on the Great Lakes are in much better shape. I now living in Florida where boats take a BEATING, and buying a used boat is damn risky!
i love all the lifejackets on everyone! good job!
I love seeing a lot dads out with their daughters
5:29 she’s so proud of her purchased parts
they float!
I like them shes showing them to us very nice to share.
9:47 The captain did an excellent job of exhibiting the hull’s strength. 😂. If not for the courage of the fearless crew, the DGS Monster would be lost. The DGS Monster would be lost.
Those Boston Whaler’s must be amazing boats!
Apparently they are. I know there's at least one story of one lasting an incredible time and distance- the Sarah Joe. 5 guys set out from Maui in 1979 and didn't come back. 10 years later, most of the boat and the remains of one of the men was found in the Marshall Islands, over 2000 miles away through the Pacific. Seeing the picture of the boat, it's kind of crazy just how much is left after 10 years of being out in the elements with zero maintenance.
They are, they were also well built and made good fishing platforms, good seaboat but somewhat exposed
They are. I think it saved me and my buddy a few times. A lesser boat would not have brought us home.
che en miami esta prohibido usar salvavidas?
They should line the sides of that inlet with seating, that's better entertainment than any circus I've been to.
@@bannzai
There's always a lot of beer and lawn chairs!🍺
They should line it with rows of rubber tires and plenty of handrails for man overboard to use.
Can’t read and watch chaos at the same time.
Some kind of masterclass for Doorknob.
So what's the recommended technique to get through that? Especially when the boat starts to jump?
That Miami Dade Fire Rescue boat is Beautiful !!! 🥰
That manatee somehow got on board and then tore the antena off that poor boat
LMAO
The part about the burning boats I believe it’s a little bit of both of everything one you are filming more on the river and you see more damage but also I believe because of the insurance, the maintenance and the fees and payments people are doing this and there’s small percentage of Accidental fires because of the owners doesn’t know what he’s doing on the boat
Respect the trough boys. Respect the trough.
I have to ask, why would you go to sea in 25knot onshore winds, just so comfortable,
Loved every second of it!
I've been playing around on the water for decades now. I came to the conclusion that there are basically 3 types of boater/sailors. A) Clued in. B) Clued in with money. C) Clueless and D) Clueless with lots of money. As for boats burning/sinking, add in abandoned. Saw an article from about 8 years ago, about all the boats abandoned all over Florida. Literally hundreds of them. Something goes wrong with your job and boats are the first to be ditched. Scrape off the registration, and hull number, beach it in the middle of nowhere and walk away.
That's FOUR types.
Why are kids in most of these videos not wearing life jackets?
Because their parents are idiots.
NOBODY wears jackets! And the boat with engine failure? First thing they should have done was put on jackets! Purely stupid.
IQ distribution curve? 😂😢😊 The way these boats are handled most should be wearing bike helmets sSamming into fiberglass bulkheads, with hard marine cusihons hurts.
Parents are dumb.
Rich kids don't have to wear life jackets
The fine is only 100 dollars
Plus the parents bought life insurance policies on them
Midnight express broke the search light with that wave clap lol
Boston whaler is kind of badasssss!
I am the captain of the HCB Suenos and admit that I had a momentary brain fade and, for a minute there, thought I was at the helm of my submarine.
Hmmm…classic case of more boat than brains…people should not be in the bow!!
Time stamp?
At 55:30 it should be mandatory that jet skis have an orange flag on a 8ft. whip pole so boaters can see them between the waves
They got all upset when three of them ran up on the boat and he saw one and turned to avoid it but turned into the other because they don’t know collision avoidance procedure. Everyone turns right
looks like a painful way to enjoy a nice afternoon, and for a few days later too
Отлично ребята!!! Классные кадры!!!
These may be epic fails, but that thumbnail is an epic win.
Watched so many of these, in 2023 and prior years; great to see a year end compilation. I would suggest however, that the main theme of boats that experience trouble or even just unnecessary roughness, is not the inlet itself, although that the very subject of the video. Why is the inlet the way it is? Because the conditions BEYOND THE INLET are inhospitable! You shouldn't be going out into the open water - which is what the inlet takes you to! (duh) - in those kinds of conditions! That is the common theme here. The inlet is just a symptom of what you shouldn't be headed into in the first place.
no its a bar crossing. the seas beyond are not the same conditions.
But the USCG gives bar crossing info enough to make a more educated decision. I just dont understand the cavalier attitude of Florida boaters...I guess maybe it is the water temp. And the boat designs are odd...with that drooping bow that is literally the worst possible design for a boat that has to cross that bar to go to the ocean.
Wind against tide makes for really challenging conditions in an inlet
Just because you bought it, doesn't mean you have the skills to captain it. The amount of people in the bow while facing strong oceans shows that the ability to buy far outweighs the ability to be a good and safe captain
Agreed! However I believe that the Captain's IGNORANCE far out weighs any ability he Might possess
People think that you just need to wear the soccer King Pelé's uniform to play football like him!
Wonder how some these boats fare up structurally after all that pounding from going through that inlet ? especially the transom w/multi eng. setup, keeps those marine shops in business $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ !
Where to begin. Fist of all, too fast, slow everything down. Second, move passengers aft. Third, no one forward of the helm during rough passage. Fourth, slow down, ride the back of the wave coming in. Going out, time the waves and take them more on the quarter.
Nah, that makes too much sense.
standing waves - different from beach waves.
Going too slow is the number one problem at haulover
I’ve been watching your videos for a while now and I almost never see any vintage Chris crafts or anything like that. Surely they’re still some around down there ?
Ive been to haulover many times and watched plenty videos of this but tell me, where do the boaters go when they get past the inlet? The white caps and swell out there tell me it doesn't look very pleasant
In Sweden we need a license to drive a boat….i suppose not in the states😂
the coast guard only requires a captain's license if you have paying passengers but some states require you to take a boater's course but most of the time not for recreational purposes
In Canada you need a pleasure boaters license for anything 10hp or more. Unfortunately it has no limits skiff or 250f yacht same ticket. Comercial ticket is basically in tonage and starts at 5t passenger/15t fishboat and goes from there.
@@graham2631 at least we get rudimentary knowledge on channel markers,stand on/off etc.if only there was training on launching and loading.public launches are the worst for dealing with novice boaters.
Yeah same in aussie……..
It depends on the state. Here in Maryland we have to attend a multi-week training course and pass a test. My only issue with it is that anyone before before 1971 is exempt, and there's more of them than you'd think out piloting boats for the first time.
12:03 it is called broaching when the boat rolls over after losing control in a following sea
That yellow apache 69....cuttin through👍
Please show us at the end of how’s it done properly! 😊❤
I see LOTS of potential Darwin Award winners.
Did devolution start in Florida or does it just gravitate there?
Ever heard of "Florida Man"?
@@AB-80X Good one!
It definitely gravitates here, mostly from Ohio and New York.
As a 40 year commercial fisherman I can verify these people shouldnt own boats 😂. Youre responsible for everyone aboard.
Totally agree with you. What’s with these cheesy sad pricks with boats that are an extension of their penis? Total idiots. Too much money to not know what to do with.
I've only fished 28 years... I'd surmise if we filmed the major commercial ports we'd get an equal amount of hijinks.
@@promisefisheries7901I don’t know about that. I think some ports are more apt to attract the type of boaters that don’t know any better like a lot of the boats in this video. Wasupfool5692 was absolutely right. A lot of these people have no business owning a boat. I saw a pontoon boat as well as a bunch of ski boats & bow riders, which were the boats with the bows that point down. The type of boater that thinks it’s a good idea to run a boat like that through that inlet is an idiot. Those kind of boats only belong in fresh water lakes. AT MY home port which is Oregon Inlet NC, you’ll never see boats like that. I’m not saying that there are never any inexperienced boaters in my waters, but mostly what you’ll see are commercial fishermen & charter boats most of which are large flybridge sport fishers. My boat, which is a Mako 236, is the smaller of the boats you’ll see out there, and my boat is offshore capable.
I have served in the navy for 76 years and have been a certified commercial cruise ship captain for 89+ years. I have owned 18 vessel's and was even a certified marine tech during my childhood. Because of this experience I can verify you are correct these people should not operate a boat
Having never been in a boat for 60yrs...I can certify most of these idiots shouldn't be in boats either
What kind of camera you're using?
That Apache sounds amazing
47:20 and on; From what the direction of the current looks to be, the guy actually does a perfect job with the anchor. Causing enough drag on the left side of the boat so the current doesn,t slam them into the rocks, but creates a forward motion. This is how more or less a sailing boat works.
45:30 As they begin to drift port here, notice the bow rope... then it disappears... Likely into the prop. Game over.
Seems like half the people down there don't understand trim, weight distribution, timing, and speed...
Half is far too generous
Safety, life jackets, preparation, passenger safety.......
This is actually quite frightening.
That Midnight Express at the start flexed so hard.
G’day champion that’s one nice Aussie Holden R8 you have got 👍
Looks like a lot of boaters have more money than sense.
Things I could watch for hours:
A bonfire
A snowfall
Boats moving through Haulover Inlet
Me, too. The sounds of the waves, and the birds. The way the sunlight reflects. The changing color of the water. Heavenly.
4:40 Batman would love that boat. Out there chasing the Penguin
all of these boats needed dual bilge pumps
So what is the best way to maneuver the boats through this jetty?
Most of those boat owners have no experience and reckless on top of that. Surprisingly that life jackets are not mandatory in such weather condition.
About your question at the beginning of the video and the incident of the Midnight Express: itś my strong believe that this is the result that everybody in the states can ride such a boat without driving license, or experience. Itś not a matter of the type of the boat, or the prize of the motors. Greetings from Germany. I like your channel the most of all boat channels.
Lol shocker.....a Euro pleading for more laws and regulations. Govern me harder daddy lol.
What do you care if he carelessly sinkd his 2 mil boat?
Mother Nature isn't fooling around out there.
Agree! Merry Christmas 👍🏻
