Florida needs to require boater education to operate all power craft on the water. It's unbelievable how many operators show utter incompetence and allow unsafe practices by passengers.
FL has a law that you have to pass a test and get a license to pilot watercraft. Even the jet skis. Doesn’t mean they are competent after passing the test though.
@@kevinandersen25 Kevin, yes it was a mistake, you see he was going in straight with the waves, the length of the wave was exactly as long as his Boston Whaler, when I was in the Coast Guard, I was taught to angle the boat therefore keeping the Bow dry. No big thing as he wasn't dealing with Big waves. Captain Keith, Tight Lines
If I thought it calm enough to take a dog, I would still have it wear a PFD. Any dog could get dangerously exhausted swimming in a strong current and waves. They would likely ingest a liot of water too. Plus dog PFDs typically have a handle to grab them out of the water.
Respect to the Cigarette pilot (the blue one) at 20:20, only he seems to care about speed limit (I am guessing there must be one) and the possibility of someone being in need of rescue. When I see these 5 or 6 outboards going full blast in and out, I understand for them it is the best way to stay above the waves but I am surprised no one was killed. At this speed facing the sun and the reverb on the water you would not be able to spot someone in the water and there seems to be a lot of people falling in the water especially off jetskis.
The lady on that green jetski. Even though they both went over the side, she was still living her best life, loving the adventure, laughing her head off and up for more. Just wonderful.
Dead in the water and getting pushed to shore, drop the anchor off of the bow. Also there was not enought anchor line to get a good set. If it had set with a stern anchor, those waves could have been braking over the transom and flooding / sinking the boat.
It is truly amazing to see how many expensive boats are owned and or operated by people who have no clue of: Rules of the Road, passenger or vessel safety, etiquette, or simple boat handling!! A course should be mandated before any boat is sold! A pontoon boat trying to go into the ocean... really?? This kind of boating, when confronted by a boat with good boating skills; makes it look like the boat with good skills has no clue because the majority of other boats are consistently and uniformly wrong which makes good boat handler look incompetent because they are the only one who is compliant with rules and regs.
5:17 that boat "captain" needs lessons from someone that knows what they are doing. A boat that size shouldn't be struggling like that in those waves. 26:30 Now that is an experienced captain that knows exactly what is going on and how to deal with the chop.
1:17 I'm just making a wild guess here, but I think it was intentional. It looked like he wanted to have a little fun and cool down a bit. ;) He does not even flinch, but keeps chewing his gum. LOL Classy.
@@johnnys8822 we have a boat on the Mississippi in Minnesota. MN law- "All children under ten are required to wear an approved life jacket when the boat is underway"
In Florida: 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. "Underway" is defined as anytime except when the vessel is anchored, moored, made fast to the shore or aground. Now...going through one of Florida's East Coast inlets...I always put children in vests, no matter the age.
I've seen videos where women are holding on to babies that are mere months old. Absolutely insane given they don't make life jackets small enough for them, and wet babies are impossible to get hold of. Just a horrible situation waiting to happen!
"EEZY DUZ IT" Yes not having the child smash her head into the hull is way more important than holding that Corona, but to be fair the kid did have a floatation top on.
4:45 you are correct about boat etiquette and showing some respect to the boat owner..as a former boat owner I was occasionally flabbergasted by what seemingly normal people turn into once they board your vessel.
I've watched a lot of these videos, can't believe how many pax are on some of them. Where do the boaters go outside the estury? Is there a popular beach?
The captain of that yacht deserves a huge fine for cruising right through the active diving area like that. He was going pretty fast too. The single boat flying the diver down flag probably wasn't enough visual warning for such a busy location.
22:14 When they are flying through the inlet like that, how do they really know that nobody is in the water? Like the guy here 16:56 who drifted pretty far from his sea-doo?
She acting that way cause her phone is probably in that compartment maybe her license is too and doesn’t want that little compartment door to pop open. My guess.
The jet ski being towed upside down. The boat operator should have exercised proper towing operation rather than just "dragging" that jet ski in that manner. I felt for the lady as I'm sure her valuables were lost even damaged.
I've been around boats my whole life and common sense is common sense. Start with safety and go from there riding in the bow going through a rough inlet is having no sense. You see kids under 12 with no PFD on , boaters that are green or just reckless. Use your head and stop taking safety for granted
Boat owners should educate their guests, not the other way around. If people aboard aren’t told in advance the Captain rules it’s a little too late when the ship has sailed.
30:42 - Are there signs showing the height of the bridge so the idiots can tell that their boat won’t fit under it? Ya gotta wonder about these “Captains” not knowing the height of their mast, not to mention any bridge they are going under.
That girl on the jet ski (1:26) is having way too much fun 😂 - The girl getting her jet ski towed back (3:56) is having a meltdown because she just lost her boyfriends Fentanyl stash that was IN his jet ski! - Looks like the 'Cigarette' boat at (20:12) is having engine problems (overheating?).
It fits so perfectly…. 🤨 I just finished watching „Idiocracy“ again and now am watching almost 40 minutes of people being dumb as hell… 😲 As I said in another comment a few weeks before: Let rain some brain 🫣🙄
The Double Trouble captain was an idiot. It is not relevant the warning light has fallen down. Besides, it was likely knocked down by the Double Trouble. The Virginia Sea captain overlooked it because no "ordinary person" would expect divers to be out around the bridge (or at least I wouldn't). They should have posted a harbor patrol boat, border patrol or police boat with lights. In my never to be humbled, 1A protected opinion.
too many people, too fast, bad distribution of passengers, too fast, too high angles its all more of the same. steady, slow but not too slow, most people in midships or stern, hold on, tight, and thatll be it.

I really wish this state would.
You guys would complain the government is infringing on your rights 😂

yes lets tie the anchor to the blunt end
@@AZPatriot76clearly not..
Even Legends can make mistakes. But that dude on the Boston Whaler knows what he's doing. Time and time again
He just read the water wrong that time. It can happen to anyone.
The Legend didn't make a mistake. He wanted that to happen. The only explanation.

Yea I have often found that jumpimg up and down waving your hands and holding the top of your head and shrieking really helps the situation.
Ever tow a jet ski by the handlebars.
Use the D ring under the hull.
Can't a PWC carry a collapsible paddle?
My man at 8:40 is driving better drunk than the majority of these people sober😂😂😂😂.
If I thought it calm enough to take a dog, I would still have it wear a PFD. Any dog could get dangerously exhausted swimming in a strong current and waves. They would likely ingest a liot of water too. Plus dog PFDs typically have a handle to grab them out of the water.
Love the show you guys
12:20 Jetski's are fun, until you get our nose and mouth blown full of sea water... LOL
4:02. Shout out to the older guy on the Nimbus. He is JACKED. 🤦♂

There isn’t a speed limit in the inlet but there is under the bridge. That captain just knows how to ride the wave.
The Captian of Double Trouble was in Triple Trouble
This was a wild episode full of captain mistakes and boat fails at Haulover Inlet. Let us know where you're watching from today? 🌎
Australia, all the money and all the toys.
Germany🇩🇪🇺🇲
Maryland just after the Annapolis boat show
Tennessee.
Finland 🇫🇮
You could've named this video. " Is boating really for you, watch before getting into the hobby "
most people can't drive cars - even fewer can adequately capn a boat
The lady on that green jetski. Even though they both went over the side, she was still living her best life, loving the adventure, laughing her head off and up for more. Just wonderful.
Water. The solvent that exposes stupidity in just minutes!
Water just washes away common sense.
You forgot about another solvent that exposes stupidity in minutes, and the user don't even have to get off his bar stool.
Best comment!
Dead in the water and getting pushed to shore, drop the anchor off of the bow. Also there was not enought anchor line to get a good set. If it had set with a stern anchor, those waves could have been braking over the transom and flooding / sinking the boat.
At least that one captain wasn't too proud or too cheap to call for a tow relatively quick.
There are so many children in boats without life jackets!
6:51 Whats that line from Roy Scheider in Jaws? "Your gonna need a bigger boat."
It is truly amazing to see how many expensive boats are owned and or operated by people who have no clue of: Rules of the Road, passenger or vessel safety, etiquette, or simple boat handling!!

bloody scary when it gets right down to it.
7:26 captain did right passenger was not ready for haulover

That Man that you are accusing of been drinking , all I see is a cool Man handling a beautiful boat nicely !
LOVE Boston Whalers! magnificent hulls
Amazing how many young kids with out life jackets. Isn't there a law?
Agreed!!

Thanks for telling about the boats
Fantasy vs reality: the length of cigarette boats vs the length of the captain's cigarette. 🤣
Nobody ever said you gotta have brains to buy a boat.
"EEZY DUZ IT" Yes not having the child smash her head into the hull is way more important than holding that Corona, but to be fair the kid did have a floatation top on.
stupid as can be.. Kind of Pisses me off.. Child endangerment..🐒
All the ladies look like they've had some major renovations
4:45 you are correct about boat etiquette and showing some respect to the boat owner..as a former boat owner I was occasionally flabbergasted by what seemingly normal people turn into once they board your vessel.
Im watching from Pennsylvania
1:39 That was hilarious.😂😮😅
All that ballast on the bow, yeah... that's the ticket ! LOL
Wow “legend” made a mistake, we all have off days he still the legend!!!
Wow. Crazy one!!!
26:16 Thought that Sea Ray captain rode the waves admirably. Looked to have caught some of the worst of the tide with the height of those waves too.
6:28 =
Chasing 50 cheeseburgers all day long
At least she not wearing a thong.
At 3:49, she is just reacting to the Seadoo being dragged up side down.
That's what you get - tow rope around steering wheel...😂
@@SPotter1973 Yeah, either her iphone or Android, which to a girl it's like their Diary. Captain Keith, Tight lines
Why would you tow a jet ski like that ? 4:20
No brains.
Low IQ?
awesome job , captain doofus !
Why?? Why do they always pull a jet ski by the handle bars?? Is there not a tow eye on the front?
"Credit Card Captains" !!!!!
Nothing worse than having kids up forward, especially when there's no LIFE JACKETS on or even available. !!!!!
Watching from Port Angeles, WA! As far away as you can get and still be on the continent.
What no atlas to look at? Alaska?
Like Forrest Gump said "stupid is as stupid does"
Vodka tonic...lemon.
EPIC FAIL @ 18:20
The front of boat is always the roughest back of boat smoothest
Always check wind mph good rule is don't go out if exceeds 15mph
Boat #48 looks like a 22' Velocity designed by Steve Stepp.
Not how you tow a jet ski!
I've watched a lot of these videos, can't believe how many pax are on some of them. Where do the boaters go outside the estury? Is there a popular beach?
Galveston.
The captain of that yacht deserves a huge fine for cruising right through the active diving area like that. He was going pretty fast too.
The single boat flying the diver down flag probably wasn't enough visual warning for such a busy location.
Nice boats, not so skilled captains !
I would love to see that girl at 8:20 fly off. 😂
Mechanical fault = captain fault. The skipper is responsible for checking that the boat is mechanically sound, just like an aircraft.
That Cigarette at 20:40 sounded sick as, engine cover part open and a big chunk missing out of the side of it.
22:14 When they are flying through the inlet like that, how do they really know that nobody is in the water? Like the guy here 16:56 who drifted pretty far from his sea-doo?
Button up your life jacket love ~
Water by nature tends to teach people respect if it isn't being given^^ At best some bruises. At worst a Darwin award...
Your drug running mystery boat is the cornholio
She acting that way cause her phone is probably in that compartment maybe her license is too and doesn’t want that little compartment door to pop open. My guess.
The jet ski being towed upside down. The boat operator should have exercised proper towing operation rather than just "dragging" that jet ski in that manner. I felt for the lady as I'm sure her valuables were lost even damaged.
@71 her phone car/house keys/fob, vape pen, and purse were in the storage compartment and probably gone forever.
Not sure about the Mystery boat but Cornholio was the captain!
I've been around boats my whole life and common sense is common sense. Start with safety and go from there riding in the bow going through a rough inlet is having no sense.

32:30 Flex-tape?
Boat owners should educate their guests, not the other way around. If people aboard aren’t told in advance the Captain rules it’s a little too late when the ship has sailed.
Having money does not make you smart!
“Why is she reacting this way?”
This is the way she ALWAYS reacts to adversity - Hysterically.
It’s always the end of the world.
Probably lost her lifeline - her phone.
nothing cuts n skims quite like those midnight express
I the BABE factor
No shame for green jetski guy, he's tapping into something unbelievable later that night, and every other night........
Respect the ocean or it will hurt you !
Dropping anchor of the stern, with what looks like 2:1 scope... predictable outcome?
4:17 What is she crying about?
6:27 Seriously?...........a whale is the last thing you want on the bow.
12:46 Cornholio
Cry = Dropped Phone.
7:05 Well I am sure at least of two of the girls each has two flotation devices permanently attached to their chest. So maybe those would help.
#67.. Smart captain NOT going fast enough to bary the bow with that whale
And she's likely a much nicer person than most of the skanks on the other boats.
Sea-Doo- take out once then to the repair shop 😢
I think the mystery boat was an 18ft SO haines hunter with a 225 merc?
I like the Cig boats but them Midnight Ex boats they flex so much they look like they will snap in half
5:03 This is way too slow for this chop in this size boat.
30:42 - Are there signs showing the height of the bridge so the idiots can tell that their boat won’t fit under it? Ya gotta wonder about these “Captains” not knowing the height of their mast, not to mention any bridge they are going under.
Tell me you dont know what your doing without telling me you dont know what your doing
Law's will never cure stupid.
I'm sure the local hospital is kept busy with some of these fools.
Consuming alcohol while underway in any state .. as far as I know.. is illegal
What’s the name of the song at the beginning of the video???
That girl on the jet ski (1:26) is having way too much fun 😂 - The girl getting her jet ski towed back (3:56) is having a meltdown because she just lost her boyfriends Fentanyl stash that was IN his jet ski! - Looks like the 'Cigarette' boat at (20:12) is having engine problems (overheating?).
It fits so perfectly…. 🤨
I just finished watching „Idiocracy“ again and now am watching almost 40 minutes of people being dumb as hell… 😲
As I said in another comment a few weeks before: Let rain some brain 🫣🙄
Him: When did you start shaving?
Driving a car is bad practice for driving a boat
what is the number of deaths recorded at Haul over, anyone know?

Some say "God favors drunks and fools." Evolution differs. Let them sort it out.
just cant believe how irresponsible these boaters are getting thrown around like rag dolls in such rough water
