Best BOAT Scenes | Miami Vice 

Unusually for an American TV series, the show was shot on location in Miami, despite threats to move the production from the city later in the show's run due to the high costs it entailed. The realism this location shooting brought about, with an emphasis on the art deco design prevalent in the buildings of the city, helped the show stand out from contemporary police series. High production values also helped embellish this unique visual style, with cinematography that rivalled that of many movies, atypical of other 1980s television series. Each episode cost around $1.3 million to make, some 30% more than most other police series at the time. The series was one of the first to be broadcast in stereophonic sound, new to TV in the 1980s, which brought out the music and sound effects in a way rarely seen at the time.

It’s safe to say Jan Hammer really knew how to score a boat scene 😎

This is honestly one of the greatest shows ever created.

You left out one of my favorites. Where Crocket is on the Miami River at night in the Scarab, and The Who’s Eminence Front is the background music. It was just a cool feeling scene.

The best views of Miami. Sad Stiltsville are no longer building them and only a few exist. I live in Miami and the boating life is amazing. Thank You Miami Vice

I miss the 80's and early 90's really bad and am not kidding either. Something is very wrong with the world today and cannot for the life of me figure out what it is. This show was something very happy to look forward to. I don't remember life being so complicated like 2000 until now.

Don Johnson actually became a professional boat racer and entered a few races.

Friday nights 10:00 pm…..basically everyone was glued to the magic of Miami Vice……folks, the best of times with the best show on TV…..we just didn’t know how good we had it, till it was gone…..Miami Vice the pinnacle of entertainment.

What's better than having a fast car? Having a fast speed boat ⛵ and Miami Vice had by the shed load.

Best iconic tv show of all time … the fashion! The fast cars! Boats this is the 80’s so glad I as a kid of the 80’s and experienced Miami vice

Those guys personified cool in the 80s

You forgot about season 4 episodes "god's work", "baseballs of death" and season 5 episode "líne of fire"

You got to love filming a fight scene on a speeding boat, with the actual actors in it.

Awesome video and quality. My favorite boat scenes from Miami Vice are from the pilot, Calderone's Return's Part 2, Out where the Buses Don't Run and Payback

You forgot the one from "Baseballs of Death", speedboat vs. seaplane

And the boat scene was the only good part of that awful movie remake haha.

You forgot the boat chase scene at the beginning of "Lend me an Ear".

Missed the most important Scarab scene of the entire series. The start of killshot. Tisk tisk

Beautiful, just beautiful!

The Irony that the boat chase at 3:06 goes directly past the place where #MichaelWesten #BurnedSpy happened to stay AND the place in #TwoFastTwoFurious where Their houseboat is

Man, I miss the 80's. At least I have Miami Vice on Blu Ray to remind me how great it really was.

Merry xmas and a Happy New Year 2022 🎀🎅⛄🎄☃️💟 Miami Vice💟☃️🎄⛄🎅🎀😃

A huge fan of all things Miami Vice!

While those boats are pathetically slow by today's standards, they certainly were iconic at the time and gave me my first love of powerboating.

Great TV show!

Miami is the city it’s nothing better than Miami.👌🏾

Lots of fun memories watching Miami Vice and getting to ride and drive several 27ft power boats!

The greatest TV show ever, well at least the first 2,5 Seasons.

Where is Caldarones return Part 2 boat scene?

Another great video!!

The Best Series,I love DonJohnson

Bringing back so many memories!

Left some great boat scenes in the episode Yankee Dollar, and this one ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-JvDXFdRT0Vw.html

Phenomenal show

Funny thing about that 390 stinger it only did 65 mph that was fast back then

Chris Craft Stinger 390 never gets any love.

Ahh yes....the Cary 50. Those boats moved more coke than McDonalds.

The one where Tubbs stole the boat in the pilot episode and introduced himself was epic. But my favorite was when Crockett and Tubbs go down to the Caribbean in Calderons return was just classic.

In which episode is the the first clip from??

Director Harry Mastrogeorge, (we were colleague in a feature film year ,99’ - my key grip time) Harry is legend - he directed “BUDDIES” episode, early M’V’ production years; Mr Mastrogeorge - gentleman!!

The boat they kicked Frank Zappa off of used to reside up in the Port Clinton/Catawba, Ohio area. I got to see it a couple times, and talked to the guy who owned it. You could still see where they had the camera rig mounted in front of the cockpit of the boat. I guess some guy back in Miami has it now, unless he sold it too.

This is Florida. More likely the cops would be chasing crooks in the swamp.

I seem to remember an episode where during a boat chase in a narrow canal along a road the boat jumps out of the water.

Jan Hammer can't agree on terms, so be it.

Omuaomua

The "nobody is immortal" episode has an amazing boat scene.

Mia i vice UANM! ✌🏻 TONY ✌🏻

People don’t really realize how inboard boat engines are very powerful auto engines that are built heavy duty because they remain at full throttle most of the time

Don Johnson used to race cigarette boats in real life.

Always preferred the Stinger over the Scarab.

Love the music and the show never missed an episode ❤

This is the most 80s show in the history of 80s shows. I was still a kid and wasn't allowed to watch something so violent. I knew my dad videotaped the show so I watched it in secret.

You forgot to mention the scene Sonny gets a call to hes fancy phone (much fancier than the new ones these days), n answers: Yeah? Crockett

The sound effects when they were shooting the rockets or whatever that was at the boat 😅. I love the 80s

Love the helmets!!!

I was 8 or 9 when this show was huge and I would watch just to see the boats and cars.

Die beste Serie aller Zeiten 👍🏼😎🤘🏼

I want a Cary 50 like what's initially shown around the 0:17 area.

my favorite scene was the very last one where says no we can throw him in i love that boat with a passion

I love miami vice need a free place to watch full episodes NBC discontinued theirs. Any suggestions anyone?

M.V was and still the best 80s T.V show of its times....miss the everything about the 80s..

Yahoo 100 comments!!!
