BOAT CRASHES INTO JET SKI AT HAULOVER INLET !! EPIC RAGE! | WAVY BOATS 

Boat crashes into Jet Ski! Who is at fault here?

These jet ski idiots were doing circles in the inlet jumping boat wakes it is a high-volume channel not a playground and they shouldn't be obstructing the inlet like this and are totally at fault for circling right in front of the boat.

I was there watching the 4th of July boating per routine, front row seats watching this happen. It was (per usual) the jet skiers fault. They were messing around in the north side of the inlet inside the entrance doing tricks and jumping over wakes absolutely ignoring traffic rules. The boat was coming in on the right side of the inlet, as he’s supposed to, had multiple boats close behind him and multiple jet skiers crossing in front of his path and messing around him. The jet skier crossed into his path last second and tried to make a turn to portside but couldn’t get out of the way on time. Also, what you don’t see on the video is that the captain had another jet sky and rocks nearby on his starboard side and couldn’t make a big turn to dodge (although you can see last second he did try to avoid once he noticed the jet sky being a total idiot and actually get in his path last second). But I don’t think he actually got hit, might have just been the boats wake, but maybe just grazed him. What’s fucked up is that the lame jet skiers posse ganged up on the boater and when the police got there it was multiple jet skiers words against the captain’s. Bottom line: it’s the larger vessels right of way, he’s on the right side of the inlet, he can’t stop or reduce speed to quickly cause he has multiple large vessels behind him also at cruising speed, also jet sky is on port side of vessel so he has red light (not that it really matters in this situation, but a nice detail) and the jet skiers where fucking around in the inlet where they shouldn’t. Sad that this guy’s 4th of July had to be ruined by typical jet skiers behavior

As both a boater first, and someone who enjoys a blast on the jet ski it always infuriates me to see jet skis playing in a busy channel. That’s like doing donuts on the interstate and wondering why you got hit… but to be fair the boat could probably have shed a few knots ahead of coming into a busy inlet.

Jet skis should be banned inside the inlet unless entering or leaving. No playing in or within 500 yards of the inlet. Jet skiers are a menace.

Jet ski was absolutely in the wrong. Dude did a 360 in a matter of seconds and expecting a big boat to stop within that amount of time?

The Jetski driver and the captain seemed to have a a rather normal conversation, but the jetski driver's friend was yelling and escalating the whole situation, I think. In general, I think the Jetskis were at fault here. You can see that they are moving out of the way, which means they 1. Saw the big boat approaching, 2. they were in the middle of the Inlet, doing idk what, 3. the Jetski that got hit basically turned into the big boat. You can clearly see that he jetski oversteers and then it hits.

At least the cops got there quick.

I love how the jetskier was fine but hammed up the injuries once the police arrived. I mean, I suspected he was injured, a head injury being a dangerous possibility, but man, his demeanour changed from a tough guy to a sick kid with his momma when he was being inspected for injuries.

The incoming vessel definitely had the right of way.

Jet skis and the clowns that own them are a hazard !!

The Jet Skiers in this video continue to just bump into the sides of boats like boat owners don't care about their boats getting scratched.

Maniacs, absolutley PWC fault. Cant believe this shit goes on. These people need to be schooled first of all on safety, secondly on respect. Big boat, under power, give way. Big Egos, 80 mph sleds on the water this is what happens

I like how the Jet ski punks circle the vessel and try to splash him with wake... Captain should have tested his hull on the rest of them.

Looks like the jet ski which got hit was playing about in the surf in the inlet. Really stupid idea, the boat had little chance of seeing it in among the waves

Those darn jet ski riders have no respect their always trying to launch off the wake from big boats it's a wonder they let jet ski riders even play around in the mouth at haul over inlet just for safety reasons

This guy has a sick set up on that boat 😎

Love the view at 0.13

🛑🛑 Jetskis screwing around in the Inlet is a bad idea. They were like that in Ocean City Maryland when we ran out of there. The Jetskis run a unpredicted course and make navigating the inlet even more dangerous. 💯🤷‍♂️

I know absolutely nothing about boats/jet skis but love watching this channel here in Wales & my question regarding this is…surely it’s not a safe place for jet skis to be zipping around at the mouth of an entrance to a harbour?

Waverunner was at fault but the boat certainly could've reduced speed somewhat being that the inlet was congested.

That's like playing a game of pickleball on the interstate.

Jet skiers: the cyclists of the sea. Nothing is ever their fault

0:11 Dat focus pull...

The big boat still had an insane speed … but yeah get those jet skis outta the inlet???

Shits more dangerous than drunk boaters, how are jetskis allowed to play at an inlet, insanity. Dudes lucky to be alive

The first jet ski was on the wrong side of the channel forcing the boat more into the middle. Plus the jet skis as usual were mucking around. By saying that the boat captain should have slowed down because of the congestion.

Jet skiers. They are on a little speedster that is WAY more agile than a boat, jumping wakes, not looking before turning... this particular instance is their fault.

big boys are playing with muscles.

Boat size does not determine right of way at all. The boat coming from the right has right of way when two boats are maintaining a steady course. It appears though that the jetskis were largely at fault if they were spinning and doing tricks, but at the time the boat hit the jest ski, it looked as if he was going in the same direction as the boat, in which case the overtaking vessel must give way, so the boat would be at fault if the jetskis was on a steady course. The boat skipper is at fault for barrelling through too fast in an unsafe manner with no regard for their safety when he must have seen them ahead of him. He should have slowed down and given a long blast on his horn to warn them. Then there would have been no collision.

I get the whole jet skis being in the inlet. But this was 100% on the boat captain!

What camera are you using? The quality is amazing!

Jumping waves going back and forth across the inlet. Smart

no matter how good of a captain you are, boats can' stop on a dime

The jetskiers always have the responsibility not to be riding too close to larger vessels and not to get under foot, which that jetskier clearly failed to do.

I would expect this to be a daily occurrence

Boats trying to enter the harbor. Jet skis playing in the entrance. Get the hell out of the way

I find it interesting how slow they’re coming in, with the police boat behind them all….

The inlet is a passageway not a playground for jetskis

That is not even a question to ask. Rules on water are crystal clear, less maneuverable, bigger boat have right of way

Incoming boat had right of way,

Motor boat had right of way. He is the less maneuverable boat. Jet skis were hot dogging in in the middle of a channel

Jet ski was definitely to blame.

Bigger boat heavier Boat has the right of way

I’ve seen a few videos now about Haulover Inlet. Could someone explain what it is about this particular inlet that makes it so dangerous and why there are so many things going wrong?

1:01 he tried to splash a boat 😅

In The Netherlands (EUROPE..) the basics of all rules is that each ship with the MOST possibilities to move (considering depth, space/wind/current etc.) has to GIVE way. ALLWAYS. Looks simple to me.

I hope they will finally set a minimum speed limit, like 20 nm per hour or more, in that inlet and push boats to go as fast as they can. And please, add more drunk captains mic’d up! 😂

Человек на гидроцикле полностью не прав!!! Большой катер идет против течения против волны, он по-любому идет на высоких оборотах, нос судна задран вверх, видимость ограничена! Идет он по правой стороне + у него преимущество в движении. Остановить или изменить курс судна весом 3-4 тонны сложнее, это не легкий гидроцикл повернуть. Молодец мужик на катере, отстоял свои права и защитил семью! И смешно что второй начал крутиться вокруг, что он хотел этим показать? Свою тупость? Это все равно что выйти на железнодорожные рельсы и кричать поезду поворачивай)))

smaller crafts are supposed to make way for bigger crafts. Also you don't simply cross into another crafts path, especially sit and do circles in the craft. Boater is coming in a little hot but jetskier is ultimately at fault as he shouldn't have even been in the way in the first place. For him to even think he is not at fault is kinda scary as people like that shouldn't be on the water.

Larger less maneuverable boat has right of way. First rule is Avoid Collision. They need to give way in the inlet. I Remember the guys on the party charter boat in lauderdale used to throw big lead sinkers at them when they got too close.

Bigger boat always has the right of way. Dipsh*ts shouldn’t have been playing in waves large enough to hide them from view of large boats.

Jetskiers are like BMW drivers

The boat offcourse

Someone commented law of tonnage has the right of way. I agree. That being said and not having ever been to haul over. I'd say they need a no wake zone or at least a defined in and out. Markers. Also make it a felony to ride jet skis in the inlet. Personally, that's like having a motorcyclist doing donuts in an intersection.

Florida man whips out gun and shoots POS jet ski rider, that's the headline that should have been posted.

Always yield to the larger craft. Especially in a transitioning zone.

Sea maggots are at fault. That is too busy of an inlet for jet skis to be playing around.

If you own a jetski and want to do donuts, go out at sea, do not do them in the inlet, drive straight to and fro in outlets.

8 knts limit in crowded waterways.. unbelievable you see Magnums doeing 40+ knts down the channel... must be the 2nd amendmenT right in the USA.. SURPRISED THEY DIDN'T PULL OUT THEIR CONCEALED WEAPONS!

is the haulover always this rough?

I don't care too much for the jet skis or motorcycles but all of them including boats have safety rules.

What make and model was the big white boat?

The jet skier was at fault.

I'd be like trolling multiple fishing lines with giant lures tipped with ultrasharp oversized treble hooks.😂 "Tight Lines" 🤙

I have owned and Jet skis for over 25 years,. I am always looking out for boats and do my best to stay clear of them. In Miami Jet Skiers always think that they have the right of way.

A vessel being overtaken has to maintain speed and course. The boat did just that.

The jet skis are a problem on every lake trying to jump the boats wake. Should have never stopped.

doesn't matter who was the stand on and give way vessel. Rule 2. Both parties are at fault.

Def, Jet Ski fault here. They are driving around like crazy at that inlet. I don't know what the laws are in USA, but here larger boats always have right way vs Jet Skis. Jets are supposed to be aware of their surroundings.

Blind spot.., 😮

If there is red and/or green buoys anywhere around, it’s the wave runners own fault.

there are crazy people everywhere

Because... Floridah

The lake i boat in lots of jet skiers have no respect for boats and frequently cut in front of me. I’ve learned to be super cautious. Hopefully both the boat captain and the ski operator smoothed it out and next time both be careful.

Port whine

The boat was going way too fast for the conditions.

No speed limit at the inlet til the bridge right if that is so smaller vessels know how boats come into the inlet some do it for momentum to make it some to flex so the ski show be alert just like motorcycle with cars or in this case 18 wheeler

There's no speed limit when entering a river in Florida? In USA? In Europe, if you enter this kind of place at that speed( 5knts max), it cost you a ticket of 1500$ and licence out.

Jet Ski's.....murder hornets! Yes, definitely the jet skier's fault.

Honestly, if the boat was spinning around in circles in the middle of a dangerous, inlet the captain would probably be arrested!the jet skis are not supposed to be doing that crap in the inlet

The Jetskiers are at fault, The one that knows they're at fault becomes the biggest loudmouth.

Wild guess, but I think the same type of folks who ride unlicensed quads/dirtbikes on the street.

like kindergarten! NO respect from nobody. no one can go back on step....big kids.

Good chance the driver was drunk too..

It's a no brainer. An overtaking vessel is always the give-way vessel. The powerboat moron is 100% at fault, and should have been charged.

jetskis are like bicyclists in the city. its never their fault and they always are raging.

Was wild in Florida for the fourth such a blast

It’s egress. No doing figure eights between the jetties.

Jet skis at fault. You cant just block an inlet flying in circles not looking around. Are all the boats supposed to just line up and wait for them to stop screwing around?

So where is the first part? Why cut to just the hit.

Boats have the right of way, as jet skies are more manuverable. The people on the jet skies need to realize that they are hard to see

The boat has the right of way, Hialeah / Opelika does not have the right to yet sky and play in the inlet

Looking at the slow motion shot, the idiot on the jet ski made a sudden hard left right into the side of that boat.

You mean "JET SKI CRASHES INTO BOAT..."

Jet ski dude should have been watching where he was going. Bigger craft has less manoeuvrability.

I was under the impression that the larger vessel had the right of way. And PWC riders tend to forget that when they're close to a larger boat they are completely invisible

We could lose our shit over jet skis and bicycles. Operating vehicles is like dancing with a petite woman.

Don't know why they don't have rules against any marine doing anything other than going in or out of the inlet and within 500 yards of the inlet. ..

As a jet ski rider myself I like to stay away from the bigger boats. Me vs a boat ain’t good for me. These are bad riders playing chicken with a big boy.
