KIDS HEAD INTO ROUGH SEAS ON SMALL BOAT | Boats at Jupiter Inlet
The last video was down at Lake Worth Inlet in west palm beach. Today we are back at Jupiter during an extremely rough weekend. The Ocean was very rough leading to very dangerous conditions. There were a few kids headed offshore in a Boston Whaler 17 Mauntauk that really should not have been out there. They were lucky their boat did not sink.
All kinds of boats in Jupiter, FL Palm Beach County transiting one of the most dangerous inlets in Florida. These boats can get themselves in trouble easily if they don't use the correct speed and choose the right lines at Jupiter Inlet. Some weekends there are more awesome boats going in and out of Jupiter Inlet than a boat show. Enjoy the video and don't forget to hit that like button to support the channel.

Where is everyone watching from? I noticed my audience has expanded from Florida.
West of Daytona beach 14 miles
Far west Texas...😎
West Virginia
Washington State, BTW... the inlets in Florida are child’s play compared to the Washington coast. Come video Cape Disappointment.

Honestly those kids only needed life jackets....otherwise they actually handled the boat quite well out there....knew how to navigate the swells, knew where to look for easier passes, and then made a good decision in heading back in. If they had their life jackets I would have said that was expert level seamanship.
Agreed. And it’s a Boston Whaler, not the best in choppy and sloppy inlet but the guy at the helm knew not to overpower and took the swells properly- unlike so many ‘go fast boats the enjoy to be pounded but the waves.
I have been boating on my own since age 13. Back in the day, I didn't always wear my lifejacket. But in those conditions? Even with an unsinkable Whaler (I have 3 Whalers)? Remember, the boat may float, but you will most likely brick the engine if you swamp it in saltwater?
I would have worn my PFD.
I have my small boat instructor certification, raced one design sailboats for over 30 seasons, have yacht experience (35' and up), and I have been a swim instructor/lifeguard much of my life.
WEAR YOUR PFD!
Even if it is a tiny kayak or stand up paddle board vest, you will get used to it, like wearing your seatbelt in the car. If you get into trouble, you have a safety net already in place. And even if you perish, your family can recover your body, have a funeral and proper closure, instead of wondering what happened to you for the rest of their lives.
Also, you are responsible for your passengers. How would your life be if harm came to them under your command?
One last thing, did you even have the kill switch attached to yourself? If you all got thrown, your boat could easily come around just to run the three of you over!
All that being said, nice job job at the helm. Looked like fun. I would totally take the Montauk out in that action.

From Australia here, the kid knew what he was doing, he was capable and I think he just took some mates out to give them a scare. We've all got mates like that
He will be a solid life long boater for sure, natural at the helm.
Glad those on the other side of the world are enjoying the video. Are there any crazy inlets over there worth visiting?
@@RoughInlets have you seen 2 small fishing boats Greymouth? If not check that out, it's the worst inlet/bar I know of
@@RoughInlets the bar at shallow inlet is pretty rough. a few people have died there I think
@@RoughInlets Enjyed this vid , that young guy was allover that, knew what he was doing.
I Oz check out Ballina bar and Noosa, Narooma and lakes entrance all have good stuff
Kids handled that better than most adults. Regardless should have had there life jackets on.
Thats being an adult, still doing dumb crap but wearing a pfd or helment depending on the activity.
I wont lie, in some situations, not having a life jacket might save you. Sometimes you fall off and the boat starts doing donuts, a life jacket slows you down and prevents you from going underwater.... its a matter of scenario
@@stegofuego1285 if you have your killswitch in that won't happen
@@nintendude1988 not all boats have kill switches, and neither do passengers.
@@stegofuego1285 all Evinrudes sure do, and all smart boat owners use them, regardless of skill
Looks like he knows what he is doing. Plus its the right boat.
Good wave knowledge and boat handling. The young skipper was never in danger. (From San Diego).
He handled it well. Hello from the other side of the US. Any crazy inlets over there?
@@RoughInlets Mission bay inlet during big winter swells, (not often). But every year a boat or two get swamped by a breaking wave.
Kid probably surfs too, he was reading the waves like a pro the entire time.
That kid driving that Whaler had great instincts.
Good at the helm for sure.
The kids in the boston whaler did well, he knew where to position the boat in the swells and was always watching what waves were coming
The so-called "kid" in the Whaler did a great job in a great boat! Bow up, weight aft - well done.
Couple of surfers on a boat? Those guys have some wave knowledge
Speaking as one of the kids on that boat wasn’t our best decision but would do it again 😂 boats for sale if anyone’s interested 1978 17” whaler with the ole 2015 90 evandude she’s taken no beaten best offer
LOL, you'll handled it well, but I personally would have stayed inside. Some of the sets coming in were big. Whats the asking price?
Hey Nick, see my comment above,
-TJ
Y’all handled that absurdly well for that size boat in those conditions 😳😳
How much u asking Lowcountrygamecock at geemale
1978 my Father was stationed at Jupiter Loran Station , he was the XO and we lived in the house facing west at the bottom of the lighthouse, I was 13 and I use to take a 16 foot Gheenoe with a 9hp out of Jupiter inlet.
That is an awesome place to live!
@@RoughInlets Yes indeed a awesome Place.
Made it to the end, the moment I saw the curved back end I knew it was a Hinkley. As for the kids in the BW, they have probably been on a boat since little, they knew what they were doing... not worried about them :-)
They did handle it well but that was a nasty day.
Kid looks like he knows how to read the waves coming in. Good for him but scary 😳
I made it to the end.
The captain of the whaler had enough sense to turn back. He seemed to know how his vessel handled and its capabilities. Youth will always make you push the envelope.
The Hinkley stumped me. I don't know enough about them.
The 2 Bahmahas saw it and said nope.
My Vote is for Sebastian Inlet
A Boston Whaler and a little bit of Common Sense will get you back to Port... PS Common Sense would include wearing flotation device LOL great stuff thanks for posting
PFDs would have helped
4:00 time mark- looks to be a hinckley! Beautiful boat!!!
I recognized the Hinkley. Beautiful boats.
Hinckley. All over Cape Cod up here.
Correct
The kid knew how to handle that boat.
That young guy driving the boat with 2 other kids sure has good sea sense and good boat skills. Full marks for having fun in a boat he knows how to handle.
Experience and common sense goes a long way....
That kid could really pilot! Hinckley had a tough time but
Florida grommets in Whalers gonna Whaler. It’s a tradition.
I was those kids wakeboarding in the loxahachee river
Nice
as soon as he said jet drive that confirmed my thought it was a Hinkley I've had the pleasure of seeing those boats up close and they are very well made.
You are correct, low draft king.
Hinkley, Lobster boat design to handle nor’easters...
@@PFLEONARDI0906 Built in Maine.
At least they were smart enough to know when enough is enough and head in
Yeah, never jumped the outside bar which was good.
I was on that 17” whaler haha shit was pretty sketchy not gonna lie but wasn’t too bad thanks for the video.
@@RoughInlets agreed
@@nicktaylor1101 nice. You all did right to come back in if you didn't feel comfortable with it
But where’s the parents
I am buying that same whaler this week. They are incredible boats
U know it’s bad when 30+’ boats are turning around... I think the chick on the jet ski was talking to her maker.. glad they had a second thought
NICE PICS! RON FROM JERSEY
Would love to see Sebastian Inlet, can't seem to find much footage and that vortex is a beast!
what is it with 17' boston whalers and inlets? it's like they have no fear
THey are poundy, but very stable vessels and short enough to run between sets. A good captain can do a lot with a 17 whaler.
BOSTON WHALER 👍 👍 the BEST.
Stable platform
They did great 👍
It's a Whaler! They are nimble and unsinkable. In 84' my step-father completely swamped a 17' Montauk in the Boynton Inlet, my step-brother and I dove for the throttle and it came up and out of the water and we dried it out in the intercoastal. Didn't fool Mom though, she was at the dock and it was dripping with seaweed!
Was that a Hinckley picnic boat?
👍👍😎
Thank You
kid handled that boat better than most 50 yr olds he prolly grew up on the water and has more time behind the wheel then most adults
some thing i would have done as a youth. as an adult you know that if something goes wrong that situation would get dangerous fast
Yeah, we all did questionable things when Young
Please hit Hillsborough inlet please!!!! I will love to see what goes on there!!!
It is a pain to get all my camera gear too, but I may have to do it.
These weren’t even like kids though, they’re all 16-17 my homies know what they’re doing
The kid in the 17 footer Boston Whaler did very good. Much better than 90% of the adults with even an bigger vessel. He read the waves and adjusted accordingly, including direction and speed of the boat.
Those Montauk whalers are the best on any seas condition , and anyone that drive them knows the legend behind them , those kids did the right decision to return, but I can say Myself I have travel to the exumas Bahamas from Miami also key west to drytortugas on my 19 whaler Montauk and won’t trade them for anything else
Super stable but they can pound.
Kid could read water and knows his boat well. Good captain, suck day.
Yeah he did run good lines
Good captain
It all depends on how they grew up. If these kids were raised on the water since they were very little they probably have better instincts and more skills than half the adults that travel that inlet.
They handled themselves well and never took on the outside bar. Should of had PFDs for transitioning the inlet.
Of course, how else will they learn to handle waves ?
Where are the Life jackets ?? @0:48
That would have been suggested for sure
I’m watching from west australia
The yacht “Attitude Indicator” with the light blue hull is a Hinkley. 😏❤️🖖🏼🇺🇸
Boca Inlet :)
Wavy boats covers that one well thats why I didn't includ it. Any of the others you are interested in?
Do ft pierce inlet next
Hinckley of course... but I like MJM 53z outboard class A ocean better. nice video
Wish I could subscribe twice to see Hillsboro 😎
ITs a tough one to get too, but I do want to do it.
Me too
Me too
This kids are having fun and better on the ocean having fun than drugs on the street acting up.
Sebastian Inlet please. It can get rough at times there big rollers
Only in a Boston Whaler Montauk.
They are a good boat for the task
u gotta go to fort pierce
I may end up there Sunday!
No. But, they handled it better than that other whaler that was nearly sunk on another channel.
That kid driving that BW has more smarts(common sense) in regards to knowing his Vessel than most Adults(idiots) I see in much bigger craft! He did nothing dangerous in regards to approaching waves (but they should be wearing PFD's!) in saying that we used to get smashed by the Surf over here in Australia when I was a young fella & never once wore one. Used to go out fishing alone when I was about 10(my Grandparents lived on the Esplanade so lived at the Beach!)
Awesome to see comments from the other side of the world!
That's a whaler no worries
Those little Montauk seem to always be tackling the hard stuff, reminds me of Wavy Boats and Black Top and Red Top Legend.
No doubt nothing like a whaler
The driver way up front means a fair chance of conquering these waves in an inflatable. Otherwise, the boat will too easily be blown back or flipped over by the wind
Big money boat those hinkey
Seems worth it!
Hinckley picnic?
Correct!
4:15 Hatteras gt45x?
My vote is for Sebastian.
Daytona..Ponce can get hairy too...
Hincley i got it!!! Vasco.
And no PDF’s.
That would have been helpful
The parents of those kids definitely didn’t know that they were going there. Second they are better then most grown adults in boats 10 times as big as what they are in!!!
They're having fun playing in the waves, not trying to head offshore where they could get into real trouble... the young skipper is well aware of his limits and how to keep his boat in trim. Of course they should be wearing PFDs, but at that age you're 10 foot tall and bulletproof. I give them a pass.
No damned PFD's on? Next time they asked for the keys to the boat I'd be telling them HELL no! Only not as politely
What would be a _BLAST_ to take out into that surf would be a Williams Jet tender.
As soon as you put up water-jet drive I was thinking Hinckley. Definitely on my "short-list" if I ever play the right numbers.
Hinckley for sure!
@@RoughInlets Any of their Talaria line would be nice, that one looked like the 43
Kids without lifejackets in a lake boat with little freeboard, in big ocean waves...what could possibly go wrong?
You need to film in 1080p60 (not just 1080p...need the 60 frames).
The boat you asked what it was is a hinkley
Those kids are better water-men the most "yachtsmen" I've seen on this channel.
Why have a boat if your not going to use it ashame all the center consoles that dont see the ocean
At least they were smart enough to turn back.
Yeah, kept me from having to call the coast guard, I think that outside bar wave would have rolled them.
palm beach
The skipper of the Whaler knew what he was doing very well in the inlet and then riding abeam of the waves.
The only thing not as seamanlike was getting too close to the wall
Yeah he handled it well, had to come in tight to avoid some breaking waves at the mouth.
I was correct it’s a Hinkley 😏🙌😹❤️✌🏼🇺🇸
Yeah, that COBIA was my 1st video on this channel.... he was lucky not to sink!
Not a good idea because if they flip they put first responders in harms way. Use your head!
Yeah, good to see the life guards have that vessel to get out there quickly as well. Would be easier if everyone stayed inside the inlet on days like this.
34' Chris craft. ??

No, I would not let my kid take a boat into the ocean by himself on any day. If only those two boys, who were swallowed up by the ocean, several years ago off Jupiter, had an adult with them. They would both be here today.
That little boat did a sacrifice for jupiter & neptune before that ride they cheating
0:58 looks ok till you see no jackets
wow how big is that etec - great motors BRP
they look like they handle the seas ok would prefer to see PFD's
Captain handled the boat well
Kids will be kids... They handled it well. Beats kids doing drugs. Maybe life jackets next time.
True
They are just playing
If they were in an intruder, yes.
Where are their parents??
A boat this small has NO BUSINESS being out in the ocean. These are lake boats PERIOD...!!!
boca grande or Gasparilla?
I wonder what the best inlet on the west coast would be to film.
@@RoughInlets Well, Little Gasparilla always amazed because of the Sea life - SAW 1ST LITTLE WHALE AND A acrobatic blue shark ON OUR VERY 1ST TRIP OUT. Boca Grande during a Tarpon Tourney we saw a potential world record get chomped in half at the boat. It still only needed 9 lbs and it would have been the new record.
The kid is good, I'll give him that. However, all 3 were pretty stupid tempting fate not wearing a PFD while playing in those waves. His luck will eventually run out. And no I would never let my kids out there!
Good lord.....how do I get back to your channel? At least I have a bit if understanding of why you need click bait to say a boat that got wiggled around a little as "DESTROYED! " .....but holy crap.....you actually repeat it here like it actually happened. As soon as you said "destroyed " I thought "yikes.....is that dame dude". Yep.
ITS A BOSTON WHALER! ITS MORE CAPABLE AND SAFE THAN 60% OF THE BOATS OUT THARE!
No pfd's on those kids on the Whaler. Pure and absolute stupidity, period.
Woul dhave made things safer.
I love the freedom of boating but sometimes I feel there should be a recreational boating license. Like a car.
You can rent,buy or borrow anything from a kayak to complex sailboat to a high powered speedboat and nobody asks if you know what you are doing.
When they finally do require a license watching these videos should be mandatory.
Most boats have a bilge pump in the back so if you can get the boat flat or moving water can be pumped from the bottom of the deepest part of the hull.
Water flooding the bow can cause the stern to raise putting the pump high and dry.
This is called going down by the bow.
It can happen slowly and without warning from a leaky thru hull.
I like three pumps. Well four.
One fore,one aft,one ready wired to alligator clips or self contained battery and hooked up to a hose and a back up.
A couple of five gallon buckets can bail.
Filling in spaces with spray expanding foam can do a lot to make a boat "unsinkable".
If you take the bimini top or spare sails and place it over a stove in hull and let water force it into the hole you may block the leak enough for the pumps to keep up.
Boats sink so fast sometimes all that's left is the ice chest. Boogie boards or float tubes on deck, wetsuits,flippers,mask all can change the outcome.
Lifejackets, you can't put them on when you are either fighting for your life or unconscious.
