- Haulover Inlet in Florida is a popular spot for experienced boaters seeking a thrill. Known for its challenging conditions and strong currents, the inlet connects the Atlantic Ocean to the Intracoastal Waterway and is famous for its rough waves and strong winds, which can make boating hazardous. Despite the risks, many boaters are drawn to the inlet's challenging conditions and the opportunity to navigate through it.

Ex professional fisherman,then 18 years Marine Rescue .Wouldn’t let most of these boat owners play with a boat in the bath.
Lol! Exactly.
I know little to nothing about boats but even I can see that many of these are just accidents waiting to happen.
amen
Where's all the life jackets?
@@terrenceodgers5866 Safely stowed …..😟
The amount of danger that some of these people put their kids in is astounding to me! High seas, no life jackets and a captain who has less brains than they do!
Do US boaters get their marine licences out of a Corn Flakes packet ???
@@allenrj1 Marine License? HAHAHAHAHAHAHHA!
I totally agree I seen a child that was less than a year old and all the kids were crying they probably won't want to go near a sprinkler after this and it looks like some of these boats are a little bit too small to be taking out there when the water is choppy and waves like that some look like they're literally going to capsize
Lmao , here in the maldives, a place surrounded by water everywhere, life jackets are srill not mendetory even when the highest deathrate is cause from travelling in rough seas ,but most drivers will insist to wear lifejackets when the driver himself think its too rough
We have different alerts, if any alerts are made, no sea vehicle is allowed to travel, the alerts are made my the goverment , sych as white alert, yellow and red alerts, these 3 alerts
I question the people who decided to take their children out , on an overloaded boat , in rough seas AND didn’t have them wearing life jackets , some great parenting there 😎
if they have a life jackedt they are fine. No excuse not to wear one though.
I don't question them. I condemn them
I can't watch this!
SICKENING, SICKENING
Its called ego...lol
Haulover inlet basically shows how hard it really is to sink or capsize or swamp a modern recreational boat. No that plenty of people don't seem to try.
Half the people at Haulover: “Hold my beer”
The amount of people that go out without a life jacket on, ESPECIALLY their children... Absolutely ASTOUNDS me. Sheer MADNESS!
Death wish for the whole family and friends.
Well said! Maybe, in Florida, it's not illegal to have children on board without life jackets on. In Illinois, kids 16 or younger must have a life jacket on and others need to have access to one or the skipper will get a ticket.😀
I can legally carry my AR via sling while walking down the street but I can't choose to wear a life vest or not........
Great logic
only in flordia, lsnd of the fucking morons.
Said the same ! Lifejacket especially on kids !
For those who watch these videos and don’t know it, always move to the rear of the boat when it’s rough.
That’s what she said
And keep life jackets on the kids at all times!
@@bloc0102 that's actually the law . Guess they missed that question on the safety certificate exam .
@@walterdavis4808 why don't law enforcement and/coast guard enforce it?
@@bloc0102 I don't know. Under 12 is required
Boat full of kids, including toddlers and no life jackets? Police need to be enforcing boating laws.
@5:50 "DAN, TURN TF AROUND!"
*Dan turns the f*** around.* 😂
Whenever I'm about to enter rough water, I make sure all passengers are in the back of the boat, I don't understand why so many boaters can't figure this out.
Because it’s very hot and humid and most if the time everything is fine and fun. Remember you only see the fails in videos not the thousands of boats with people riding the bow that make it just fine.
@@tomdavis3038the fails that you see should be a lesson to ensure the safety of your crew. Putting someone at risk for “hot, humid, fun” is highly irresponsible. Always play it safe with the ones you care about, before fun turns into a deadly trip to the ER.
Yep no shit in rough water you always!!!!! Always !!!!!! PUT EVERYONE AT THE BACK OF THE BOAT PERIOD or you are an idiot! And should not be operating a boat
@@Theorangeone21 nah they’re fine if they fall overboard in this inlet with jackets on, it’s fun
@@nick_0 you gotta be 12. Let me just let my crew mates fall into rushing water with boats zooming around and other incompetent idiots who do the same thing. You aren’t a hero for being dangerous. That’s straight up selfishness and stupidity.
It’s always a good idea to terrify your passengers. It will make them think twice before going out with a moron in the future.
BAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Best comment ever!!!!
Hopefully your boat doesn't snap in half
Providing there will be any "future"🤷
Why not ? They won't freeload on your boat anymore.
They're terrifying me just watching them.
5:51 "TURN THE F*CK AROUND!" Bro, that lady wasn't havin it😂😂😂
The Scout captain, as well as several others, should be charged with reckless endangerment.
Young kids, no life preservers, all jammed in the bow, and stuffing it. The basics are not difficult to comprehend. it's common sense.
30+++ years of boating. What these people are doing is insane
A lot of it seems nuts but I've spent roughly one day on boats; what is insane in your opinion?
@@Mr.McWatson the majority are going out in weather conditions that would normally have marine warnings-meaning except for the 50 footers plus, the boats are in serious danger. Many passengers are not wearing shoes. In these conditions having shoes with sipes on them (real deck shoes will help save your life). The passengers who choose to be on the bows are putting their lives in danger, they aren’t wearing Life jackets. So if they go overboard, it’s very hard to find them. Very low chance any have done a man overboard drill. Doing that in 6 foot waves is no joke. And a 100 lb woman becomes a 300 lb dead weight to pull up. And the captains allowing all of this, frankly could lose everything they own in a lawsuit for reckless endangerment.
@@duchessofwinward2798 The lack of life vests in this weather is hard to understand. Also the captains who take water over the bow- their solution is to slow, then power on and take more water. It looks to my untrained eye like people who randomly bought a boat and take it out twice per year.
@@Mr.McWatson most don’t like to wear life vests, but you can get really nice ones that only blow up if you hit the water. That’s what I have. And yes, a lot of these chose the wrong day to go out. I used to race sailboats,so I have been out in every kind of weather. I don’t go out in bad weather anymore. We have been “weathered in” for days at a port in order for waves and wind to calm down. And yes, it’s called being a “throttle man”. You speed up and slow down engines based on the cadence of the waves.
And the big boats just barrel on through swamping people.
How much fun is dad having while the kids are screaming and crying in terror?
At Haulover inlet, the thing to do seems to be to put your children in the bow with no PFDs on and then stuff it repeatedly as hard as you can. It's almost like some of them are trying to shed a few children from the family.
I could watch these videos all day long. So entertaining. funniest part is you know all those ladies got all dressed and made up to go on that boat and then just got SWASHED! HAHA!
Some of these are outright brutal! My back is starting to hurt just sitting on the couch watching this.
Enjoy your day, sitting on the couch having a relaxing day is more than enough!
I don't think some of these Boat owners realize how you can seriously injure someone by tossing them about like an Aircraft in turbulence. These videos make me cringe at the stupidity.
this is not turbulence, this is a freaking rodeo!
Babies. no life jackets bow- riding . They put so many people in front of the boat it can't help but go through the wave rather than over it. It's like watching those videos of skate-boarders crashing, definitely cringe worthy. I can feel it in my loins. Stupid stupid!
nobody is allowed to do this except the girls of blue top legend..
Money doesn’t buy brains.
Not to mention the damage they are doing to the hulls. The stress on the hull is something most of these “captains” do not and will never understand. All this is showing is a quick way to the ocean floor.
Props to the skippers who filled the foredeck swimming pool on the way out. Mad Skillz!
This video is truly inspirational. Seeing all these amateur boaters with such supreme boating skills. Operating these boats in such a safe manner! You would think they were all professional sailors. Amazing video
Our pleasure!
I can smellllllllll the sarcasm through the internet!!!😂😂😂😂😂
Putting the bow up and some throttle control goes a long way. What amazes me is watching all these smaller boats heading out into a sea full of white caps...
That’s when the fun begins. Used to do that a lot in 420 and 470 sailing boats, or in a 4m20 RIB from the rescue service as training.
I had genuine fear for the family in that Regal. Captain has a lot to learn
'Child abuse' springs to mind.
Regal captain is an absolute clown
@@wendydawson2053 more like child endangerment
idiots like that never learn
I think that same idiot is at it again at the 5 minute mark.
Pretty sure most of these people wouldn't know their starboard from a Starbucks.
As someone with no boating experience I was watching this video in bewildered amusement. I was constantly wondering "is this supposed to happen?"
As someone with no boating experience i start watching the video thinking, that looks fun, then quickly turns to no it doesn't.
Crazy how they are tossing children and infants around without any life jackets on them.
nuts!
It should be criminal
@@ricktweden2276 it is where I live.. 👍
Endangering another person, especially a child, is the ultimate selfish act and should include jail time.
Where I live everyone put's on a life jacket or you're not going out
Every boat owner in this video:
"What are all these stress cracks from??"
Coming from a person who almost drowned if it wasn't for a kind man, I would NEVER do this or want a family member to do this!!! I saw very few boaters wearing vests 😪
As a US Sailing certified instructor, this is what we get trained NOT to be like. I work at a club on Cape Cod and these drivers are my nightmares when I am out with my kids.
Come off it, 50% of these were total wins not fails. But thanks, Instructor Karen.
I know right!
@@GodsMistake dude relax
@@nataliabugnacka4926 Thanks Life Coach Karen.
As a fellow Cape codder, I was thinking to my self, these Floridans are on a different level lol
1st - Life jackets --especially for the Kids!!
2nd - Every to the back of the boat to get the bow up.
3rd - buy a snap-on tonneau cover for the open bow, 90% of the water goes around & out. Not swamping your boat.
Always nice to see red top legend put in an appearance, and ace-it through Haulover !
👍 🇨🇦 ✌️
*before I buy I’m going to take a course* But I’m doing research, serious question. Would lowering the trim tabs help keep the bow up. Throttling out of the waves help cut through? Seems like most of these people are trying to throttle through it in the beginning then back off throttle and that’s when it gets sketchy.
32, been water skiing and family has had motorboats as long as I can remember. Parents would still make us wear a life jacket even in a canoe.
Amazed how many people especially children don't have one on.
Just watching this video took about six months off of life. I like to add that I have been boating over 40 yrs and this is insane.
I'm a quadriplegic and have always been on boats. Never in the ocean. I don't like the ocean unless I'm on the shore. Even the big Yachts seem to have trouble navigating that
You should especially be wearing a life jacket in a canoe! because they tip over so easily. It’s seems like boats are a good way to keep a family close.
Your filming and knowledge is awesome! Thanks for doing so!
As a Canadian, its cool to see Lorne Leibel go by in the Canada Homes boat. He and his copilot Johnny Tomlinson are a hard team to beat :)
Now I'm no expert but it was beautiful to see the seadoo flip over revealing what looks to be the perfect tow point on the front of the ski lol
Glad someone pointed this out. That guy failed grade 3 physics.
This is crazy. Video came up on my recommended, and as soon as I started watching it I said wait is this in Haulover? About 10 or so years ago I was on a jet ski with my father leaving the sandbar, we were at the top of a 12 foot wave, went to the bottom, and drove through the next huge wave. Both of us got thrown off the jet ski, and I lost my flip flops, sun glasses, basically everything that wasn’t my bathing suit. Glad to know this inlet is still causing problems :D
I find that the boats carrying young children and going thru the waves, are without life jackets. That is horrifying and those boat handlers need to be fined/arrested for child endangerment.
100% agree with you.
I hate to say it but maybe the gene pool needs to be thinned?
Everyone on the boat has to have a vest on when entering the boat and the entire time it's moving .. Period. That's my rule.
@@muskiemike12 You literally just suggested the children should die because the parents are morons? WTF is wrong with you?
@@aprilbrockmiller3073 That's a good rule.
Luv the video grew up around haulover big part of my life growing up!!!!
10:01 Captain, “Boston Whaler’s are unsinkable!”
Captain sinks boat.
Much easier to put life jackets on the babies and kids before crossing the inlet rather than after your boat nearly sinks and your kids drown.
People get stupid with boats.. or is it people in general are stupid? lol..
I don't understand, is it not the law? Here in MN you will be cited for it.
@@bloc0102 should be a law..
@@bloc0102 I don't understand either because it's the law in Texas and they would cite you in a heartbeat here.
Those automatic vests are expensive you know. And old style vests are bulky and there is only so much place for beer and sunscreen in a a boat. You had to settle with only twin outboards so you sure aren't going to spend anymore money or cutting back on beer. Babies can be bought from asia these days.
I went through there on a 31' CC one morning before sunrise. Even with an experienced driver (we didn't get wet except for a bit of spray) it was still miserable.
Is it ever “ calm”? If so define calm… for example 1-3swells 10seconds?
@@scottlaulette5269 i guess he didn't know the answer 😅 maybe he dream about it
May I add a correction? On a Boat or Ship it's a "Pilot", not a Driver!
@@scottlaulette5269 26:57 looks pretty calm
taking those little boats out in all that chop is nuts.
Towing a jet ski by having the rope in the middle. Brilliant!
Having been a captain on the great lakes I would never allow crew or guests to be in danger as some of these people are by are. To allow people to be in the bow of these boats without PDFs on in those conditions is criminal and they should be held accountable for the injuries and trauma they are allowing under their command of their vessels.
@@nowakezoneforever6021 you're definitely going to be swinging as you're drowning in the rough water
that's exactly right. ty
Being a captain on the Great Lakes you'll like this story. I had to talk a coworker from attempting crossing lake Michigan with a jet ski. He was convinced him and some friends could do it. Told him the bottom was lined with shipwrecks . I took a 20' bowrider out once and felt like a cork.
yeah it seems half of these boats have people just chillin up there, I dont know very much at all about boats, but i know you dont usually hand out up front when youre under way.
Right? The least they could have done is put them in JPEG or something...
Crossing a bar without a life jacket? Sheer madness especially when children are on board
Calm down Bettie. They can always put their life jackets on after the boat starts sinking. Seriously. Did you see some people putting on jackets after they realized they might sink? ‘‘Twas funny. ✌️
@@troysparks3772 People are stupid. They are hiting their heads everywhere with those jumps. The least it might happen, you will lose a thooth hiting your mouth on your own knee.
@@troysparks3772 right .. oh wait .. boats can sink????
@@troysparks3772 Oh yes you are absolutely right, when a captain hits the waves very hard and a small child or other person gets injured or it´s unconscious, it it highly recommended to put the life vests on ! For everybody a life vest on is a must, the self inflating ones a very comfortable and you are not realizing that you got a vest on, so where is the problem to wear a vest ???
The last thing you want is passengers sitting on the bow in this situation. Especially without life jackets on.
I wonder how much You Tube channels like this actually encourage folks to go crazy …the vast majority seem to know they are being filmed ! Fun to watch
As someone that has a lot of experience boating in a lake fresh water very rarely we see waves like this I remember rolling back to shore in 6 foot waves in the middle of December Lake Erie duck hunting, first time I was actually scared coming back in
3 foot waves on Conowingo pond in a 15 foot Oldtown Pathfinder scared me plenty.
@@paulhare662 we were in a 21 foot Lund Alaskan still tossed us around
Lake Erie can get mighty fierce mighty fast. Been there, done that, and don’t care to do it again. 🌊
Lol I own and captain a tuna charter. 6’ swells are a nice day 100 miles offshore up here in eastern Canada. My Regulator 37 is a badass boat though.
Some look like just going along dipping water into boat
Great stuff! It would be cool if you could explain what the boaters are doing incorrectly for us non-boaters!
Its a combination of things, bow riders or extra weight in the front of the boat, their trim is flat, in other words their prop should be adjusted to tilt the nose of the boat up, bad timing, either too much speed or not enough. These are just a few.
No life preservers on
Taking 15 foot boats out in 15 foot waves.
I feel afraid for the poor dogs.
To many things to list. 😆
Used to go through Boynton Inlet back in the 60's-70's. Ist time was in an 18' Cobia, then boats got bigger but those waves got bigger too. I learned to scuba there and believe me it's crazy scary down there. The Barracudas swam along with us as we descended the wall down. The inlet was washed out nearly 300 feet inward when we got to 50'. I always wondered why that old iron bridge didn't fall. Guess all that changed by now.
the 2nd boat just went for it and looked way smoother than some of these other boats
1:20 the girl yelling at the boat driver is leaving me dyeing
Thanks for the work you put in for 2021, hope 22 is better for everyone....this compilation is a chance to get mad at the operators for putting kids/adults/dogs once again at risk of harm and even death, you tend to forget about how many you have seen til a compilation shows up.
That’s why we always do compilations! Cheers to more shared successes in the new year!
@@BoatZone I own a small inboard, I would never attempt navigating these swells with a fully loaded or overloaded boat. Is this just a channel where someone gets surprised by conditions or just people heading out on a day with significant chop? If it is the latter they deserve a ticket for reckless driving. One surprising thing is how well the offshore race boat hulls handle the conditions ... guess just another day on the water for them.
i gave you a thumbs up for including DOGS
@@jimw6991 yea this is stupid I’d never allow that if I was law enforcement there it’s not funny some of the things I seen just now
@boatzone what exactly do your compilations do to educate or change irresponsible behavior. Another reply includes this comment, “ thanks @boatzone for compilations which allow us a chance to get mad at boat operators…” It’s beyond laughable you take any responsibility for improving a ridiculously dangerous situation. WHERE IS HAUL INLETS LAW ENFORCEMENT? Why is this boating community not outraged ?
Only the lower unit turns? Why didn’t I think of that? Too cool, thanks for the insight!
I use to race boats, specifically PRO hydros in the APBA. I miss the adrenaline rush, I don’t miss the beating we took. Now I’m left with a bad back and bad knees. Life is good. 😂
I love how in the USA the lifejackets go on after the boat starts to sink. My lifejacket is on before I start my boat here in the UK.
Thatis how responsible people complying with rules and common sense does
These open front runabouts seem particularly unsuited to heavy swells... especially when driven too fast without care.
Boat Zone thank you for this compilation of winners and amateurs. Keep up the 3,2,1 Action for the upcoming 2022. Maybe just maybe the operators ( I know they're watching ) of some of those smaller boats will respect the waves at Haulover inlet when venturing out, especially when the boat is reached it's limits with too many persons aboard. Enjoy your day wherever you are Peace.
The one thing we all have in common is loving our lives on boats. I agree, let’s do it well and respect each other. Thanks for your wishes and happy new year!!
Make sure the bow is loaded up for making the best videos.
Lovely weather the sea is so blue over there... north sea cold and grey here
I spent many years sailing in the North Atlantic off Ireland. I don't think these people have the faintest idea how dangerous the sea can be. At 1:34, Just go fast enough to turn the front of your boat into a Jacuzzi. At 7:20, How can that thing be sea worthy? 9:40, Just take an over sized bath tub an stick an engine in it. At 10:17, I don't think these people had the slightest idea of how close they were to being swamped! At 10:43, You can see the water sloshing around, no attempt to bail water out. 23:25, Sapiens Americansus having fun! And no life jackets. At least it gives your Coast Guard something to do. Thanks for sharing this with us.
I cant see how they can get to that point, see the sea conditions even beyond the entrance is way more than their craft can handle . . and still have a crack ?? How do these people think?
Boston Whalers are unsinkable actually 😎👍🇺🇸
@@smibsid7646 that's what they said about Titanix too 😂

@@tkfisho Brain cannot be in gear
I love how the p1 offshore (2nd boat in video) literally flies and tells haulover to suck wake!! Vs. All the other normal boats dying in the waves lol
Totally awesome! And wow…That Apache!!
The only one built for this.
It's so thrilling and thrilling to watch
some quality footage for sure, great spot
I'm impressed with the boat at 3:20. with all the trouble he was in earlier he still made it back.
I'm amazed that nobody makes even an attempt to siphon some water out from the boat when they practically swim in it...
Some look like get out and turn back in right away. Are their motors messed up or just not smart
I've been in some rough stuff over the years on normal lakes but that was nothing compared to this. That little boat with the 60hp had me really concerned. Lots of Darwin award applicants going on in this video! Some of those bowriders looked like not even a pair of 1000gph bilge pumps woulda had a chance in hell.
The legend of Haulover does this with ease in a tiny boston whaler with a small motor. Its all about how you navigate and how good a skipper you are.
@@corail53 Absolutely. Unfortunately way too many boat pilots don't know how to run rough water. I even know a guy who's "unteachable" because he wants to be trimmed out and wide open all the time because he can't switch his brain out of bass tournament mode. I adjust for conditions without even thinking about it because I like a soft and dry ride. And I want the welds on my 17' 7" mod-V Tracker to last as long as possible! Some of the lakes around here can get NASTY at times and most of the boats around here are flat or mod-V because of the type of fishing we do around here.
What are you supposed to do when they boat starts bouncing on the waves like that? I know absolutely nothing about boating but am just curious.
@@corail53 yeah it’s really not hard to not die or get swamped in seas like this… you have to take a basic seamanship course or read a bit. Also I don’t know who designs these boats anymore.. the bows all point down into waves making it way too easy to stuff the bow if you don’t have experience and invariably everyone wants to sit in the bow and make it impossible not to stuff
See I know I don't know enough about running waves like this to ever try it with my little bowrider, and I'm not sorry to admit it (been jet skiing for 6 years but just bought the bowrider this year). I'm sticking to the lakes where my noob self belongs, I'd never put anyone in danger like these people do
I know nothing about operating a boat.. I’d guess bow high and slow down? What is the best way to go through this?
12:45 looks like a good designed boat,all the water spreads to the sides very nice, not like the other ones that takes too much water in.
The American obsession with bow riders is only matched by their failure to understand how to trim a boat to the conditions
This video should have been titled, "How to ensure your family will never go out with you on the boat again"
Going out from Haulover , to the ocean on pontoon boat:) . With a 50hp :))) can be tough to come back:))
K the second guy just haul assin through was awesome.
The best is watching those captains continue to bury their bows, fill their boats with tons of water, put their unjacketed passengers in jeopardy and have no clue that anything is amiss. It never even occurs to them to slow down or turn around.
Another reason not to buy a bowrider type boat.
@@12345678981441 Agreed. They are now sea boats. I call them bathtubs.
I feel like trimming up and raising the bow would help a lot of them
There no Captain...if it wasn't for birth certificates and death certificates these people wouldn't have any certificates at all.
@@MyBeastie1 Exactly, have to keep the bow up, move passengers to the rear, and add speed as needed. Yes, it will be a rough ride but better than sinking.
I would never want what i will call a "scooper" boat .... scooping up the water into the boat. Thank you for highlighting the idiots .. i hope they find their way here and read the great comments below.
These boat you speak of Sink so fast in fact if seen plenty here in Florida of those boats go down quick poor design
I love to see people and kids in boats but i.am afried when I was 16 year old we had to cross a field to get to school it had rain we couldn't walk across the field so they build a ten boat to many got on the boat the boat tilted sideways never been on another one.Nell
I'm used to watching these videos...and I literally gasped at some of these! Hope nobody died!
I grew up wakeboarding, house boating, and jet skiing. The first time I actually got to experience the ocean it DAMN near killed me. Got pounded over a reef. Was a strong swimmer but honestly didn't think I'd make it through. Was shredded to bits. Much older now, family that I'm responsible for. I won't let my children on their kayaks on a still freshwater lake without a PFD. Sure as hell wouldn't ever go out on the seas without one. I was a better swimmer in much better shape. Had to swim prob 1/4 mile to reach a kayak after being pounded by 10ft breakers and head back. I could barely pull myself up. My bother couldn't even hold onto the kayak when I got back to him. Never. Ever. Again
Lol I grew up on the coast fishing in kayaks, and we never took life jackets. Seems so stupid now, but we were also (and still are) free divers and spear fishermen, so we just had no fear of the ocean and could swim forever and hold our breath up to 2 1/2 minutes by the time we were 15.
The one problem we had was another kid who would follow us and didn’t understand the danger and blacked out. Had to drag him back to shore as dead weight. At least he didn’t go too deep and end up with the bends.
His mom went full Karen, yelling at the police to charge us 😂 The cop was like, you want us to charge them for saving your son’s life?
She tried to blame us for taking him, but he actually just followed us out.
To this day she hates me. For saving her sons life… 28 years later.
Her son and I get along great though, much to her anger.
I take them with me now, but only wear them when the boat is under power (tuna charter owner/captain and bass tournament angler).
But yeah, im shocked we’re still alive.
As others have commented:
- no life jackets
- inadequate speed
- people sitting in the front in rough conditions
- poorly designed boats with front "pools" and without sufficient bailing capacity. The Axopar seems to be one of the few that's ok, it takes in water but it flows out from the open transom immediately, no need to pump anything out.
Adults not wearing their jackets is their choice - what gets me is the most with most of these videos is the kids aren't wearing them. Your last point is not very accurate - most of the open bow boats work just fine in these conditions but because of the failure of number two and not keeping passengers it creates these problems.
👍
Boating is sooooo much fun when you are terrifying your family! When I was a kid, my parents took us and a friend of their's with their son out to,go camping on Shell Island in Pinellas. A freak thunderstorm came up fast with water spouts and everything all around us. We lost a boat full of fishing equipment, my dad almost died when he jumped in the water to cut the John boat loose that had tipped and was pulling us under. It was crazy. We were terrified to get back out on the water for years. Sometimes it just isn't worth going out.
Shell Island is baby waves compared to the gulf side of Eggmont Key!!
@@rodmacd8229 That particular day, they were not. But yes, the gulf side of Eggmont is pretty bad. I've been to Honeymoon Island when that has gotten bad too. She'll Island is usually noting. Flat and smooth until you get close to shore and the waves pick up some. You want to see a massive ripping current, go to John's Pass and watch that current rip through there. That is violent. Skyway on the 'gulf' side as we call it also gets pretty gnarly. These waves at Haulover Inlet are pretty intense. When I crewed yachts in the mid 90's we had captain's that would butch about the owners wanting to launch a tender or a jet ski to go racing ahead of the yacht. If they weren't careful, they would get themselves into real trouble and have to get the yacht to rescue them while battling giant waves and other boats, plus the occasional fisherman that thinks it would be fun to peg a rich person with a sinker or lure if they get close enough.
It’s not that people can’t drive a boat. It’s about people who can’t read the water conditions. That’s what separates a true captain of a boat and a recreational boater.
"Hey, are you going boating tomorrow?" "Nah. I was thinking of taking the family out for some sinking..."
Over the years I’ve become more and more convinced that most drivers (of boats AND cars) shouldn’t have a license.
I don't think that those folks have a boating license
I don't think those people have a brain. Why don't those morons in the boat that was ready to sink. Put a few more people in it. Just shows that you can have money to buy a boat. But the boats don't come with a brain for those idiots to know how to drive one. Jeez.
A permit slip from big brother is a tax and violation of your liberty. Not a guarantee of anything good.
Over the years, I've become more and more convinced that most people with internet access need to stop overusing hyperbole.
The problem is, you dont need a license to operate a boat, you just have to be able to afford one.
What amazes me is just how few people wear lifejackets, even after their boat is swamped.
It’s simple. Life jackets aren’t “cool”. Just like the idiots at skate parks without helmets.
Congratulations on your meeting with Count Otto Von StuffinHammer!
Exactly rough seas, back of the boat with life vests on.
Yep been there,can be a very dangerous inlet depending on who's driving.
For many of you who don't know. Those race boat's where mainly made at or near Thunder boat Ally or row. Near 186th st in North Miami Beach Florida. They fly up and down the Intercostal waterway near the William Leaman causeway near Turnberry Isle Condominiums. The Apache race boat's were made nearby as well. Most of that was started by Deceased 2 time Offshore power boat Champion Don Arronow who developed the Cigarette boat company there and several others as well as High lift Marina. I lived and worked in that area from 1980 till 1997 and helped build that bridge and Turnberry Isle.
Just like Chief Brody said in Jaws "You're gonna need a bigger boat." 😁
I've been on a boat twice in my life and seems like it should be common sense to ride towards the back when you're about to hit 8-10ft waves, and use the correct timing and throttle to keep the nose above waves
I don't understand why any captain would allow people, especially children to be at the bow while exiting or entering an Inlet, regardless of the conditions.
these people need to take safety classes prior to operating a vessel on the water.
Because...one, they are not Captain in any way, shape or form, they just people that learned how to turn on the ignition at the dealership, and that is about it in terms of knowledge when it comes to boating LOL
Can someone tell me if the grey boat at 3:29 is doing it right? It seems pretty badass how level it is and how it cuts through the waves
That Axopar has a sweet paint job! 5:33
I used to have a SeaRay down in the Meditteranean . Wouldn't have dreamed of taking it out in seas like that
23:30 I especially appreciate you giving the slow motion replay of that scared little boy freaking out! He'll have to learn to love the sea the hard way lolol..
"AHHHHHHHHHH AHHHHH" LMAO
@@bgsoundscape Unbelievable arrogant a hole for a captain
The Axopar is such a nice boat!
That Nor-tech 390 at 19:40 is beautiful
5:50 "Dan turn the fuck around, I'm not playing" is the highlight!!!
wow, i missed that 😮
Watching people freak out and come off the gas is my favorite... I work tuna boats and live on a sailboat ...most of these boats are made for lakes .......
Watching from Florida
Can't some of these captians trim the engine? Sticking the bow up? Does matter in the inlet?
“Ok, we are going to go through some of the roughest water in the USA, everybody up front, especially the kids without life jackets!!”🤪
9:20 the transition from some dude being wheeled off on a stretcher to whatever that was🤣
