BOAT FAILS: Family in Danger, Guy Drowning, Boat Sinking at Haulover Inlet | BOAT ZONE 

From Austria, Beautiful shots!

Texas

Coastal New England

from Denver, CO I've sailed I/O Haulover many times...

Australia,

Snitch

@@davidsaldivar4302how is anyone in this situation a snitch?

Good job!

Solo kayaker who doesnt know or cant do a self rescue? thats pretty risky

Good shit! I hate bad boaters with a passion!

But a police boat was on the way and would have arrived 30s later (possibly quicker, we see it only come into view when the other boat was already on the way back). But yes, the boater was definitely one the ball and did an excellent job. The only possible improvement I can spot would have been to use a boathook and/or life saver with a line to guide him to the back of the boat and have the engines disengaged much earlier.

@@realulli It was a Yamaha jetboat, no props to worry about.

No thanks to the POS subhumans on the jet ski that just passed him by....

Most of them aren't even wearing life jackets.

@@DaveGIS123 Not putting a life jacket on your child should be straight out illegal. Fucking hell that shit behaviour pisses me off.

Probably because he knows what he’s doing and not racing in!

I figure they probably include a competent captain every once in a while to boost the stupidity of all the others haha.

Rode that wave in like a boss!🌊🌊🌊

And with NO life jackets being worn! That's reckless for your family.

The peoples of south Florida are stupid in a special way. Parents actually encourage their kids to not wear seatbelts here. I see it every day here on every road, kids hanging out the windows like pets.

Yep, I'd rent a family & A boat. ROLL TIDE!

its not necessarily representative of how rough the ocean is, its where there is a narrow channel between an inner harbour and the ocean. Tides make for very fast currents and choppy waters as water rushes through the narrow channel. I remember coming out of Ft Lauderdale and it seemed like it was always like that, but just for stretch. Wear you life jackets and go slowly rolling over them rather than smashing them ..,,, or have some grace and style and get a sailboat, a keel boat just slips through that :)

Only on lake with calm waves!!!! 😢😮

one of my high school buddies died in a riptide at 55 yers old. Helping an Asian lady.

Man that's tough ,as fun as the water is its dangerous

@@williamanderson6006 just read the news today 4 people dead from riptidesin Florida. My buddy had gone out to save an elderly lady that couldnt swim ack, I dont think HE thought about it being a riptide.

And 15:17 boat driver too.

Yes, he just went right through those waves without a single bounce.

So I was wrong. Not everyone at this inlet is a moron.

Notice that the cops are wearing PFDs.

this is 'merikkka after all

Florida free dumb

Doesn’t appear to be a speed limit either 😳

Common sense goes out the window when on the water. They want to go as fast on the water as they go on land.

What was he doing in a channel in the first place? 🤪🤔

The video says he was dragged from the beach by the current ​@@Stllno

how bout the pontoon boats

Don't forget to put way more people in your boat than it is rated for!

Lots of Democrats voters would.

True. But for this place this is a calm day, not a rough one.

I have (once) and it’s absolutely miserable for everybody on board. Doesn’t matter the occasion, boat wouldn’t touch the water on a day like this.

@@bradi8548 I grew up driving small boats on popular lakes in Minnesota. If you did it wrong you could swamp it. Trim and power.

Trim, control of power and direction you mean.

@@alexcawthorne811 No, I'm not pointlessly pedantic.

​@@Vorgtothat's why you need to be on the ocean to learn how it works.

@CarlCumby - If we weren't talking about actual human lives at risk I'd laugh.

People are allowed to take their own risks, nannybois.

@@camojoe83 - And people are allowed to criticize these idiots, too. Especially when they're risking the lives of children. Oh, and BTW, why do you rednecks wear pink camo? In what environment is that a disguise? Walmart?

@@camojoe83 Except that a lot of these cases, are captains that do not inform their guests about the dangers they face by being ferried around by a lunatic with no regard for safety while wearing no pfds.

@@JosephFelix-xw7ih failure to assess risks accurately for yourself is a non survival trait.

It is not even a process at all. If you are an adult you're allowed to operate a boat period Unfortunately they let any idiot do it

@@chadbreton4951 Yep.

what license?

@@rykehuss3435 Exactly.

Remind us you know nothing about boating without telling us you know nothing about boating. There is no "boating license" LoL!

I couldn't believe my eyes. What is wrong with those people?

You referring to the JetSki or the larger blue and white boat?

3:30 min in.

7:12 min in two girls in water overturned jetski.

Today’s population is quite ignorant and selfish.

Yeah that’s expecting an awful lot from these AIMERS that have more money than sense. But yeah, basic seamanship 101

more money than brains !

Plenty of immigrants.....

Idk, I’m pretty smart, but I don’t see stupidity beyond no PFD.

well I don't see any idiots in boots in this video but that does sound like a hoot!

Like Ron Desantis?

@@Stars4Hearts tf?? looordy those of you that suffer with TDS need help! seek help!

I came to comment the same! I was so happy to see several in the next few clips after that! There *are* some smart people on those boats after all. :)

That should be a hefty fine every time...

Agreed. Where are the law enforcement dudes?

Were you and your wife wearing life vests? And why did the boat just leave you in those kind of conditions?

I live on the Long Beach Peninsula at the very west coast of Washington state. Here we would NEVER go out in the Pacific ocean with small boats and waves and currents like that! It would be a death wish!!!!

It's Florida...full of dumb idiots with more money than sense.

New Americans?

Liability. Unfortunately.b

Cant ever go wrong with a Midnight E

Not even close...the Seavee's are a much better hull and masters of the inlet. You see Midnights stuffed there quite often.

Ah yes. The midnight Expresso scoop.. never see them turn into a bathtub with that dipped bow, not even once.

awesome!! any video?

It is not due to the seats only, they have a deep V bottom that soften the impacts.

I think the Jet Skiers are not at all an exception!!! I see VERY few sensible people in these vids….

I agree completely. It should be unlawful for any vessel to not render aid when a person(s) are in the water presumably alone without assistance and especially when the person is not wearing a personal flotation device. I’m shocked at the number of boats who saw the man in the water and didn’t stop to render aid. Pathetic!

@@b.hanson406it’s a bystander effect, it’s not anyone’s specific responsibility but someone should help. Thankfully this is as busy as a pleasure boat area gets and there are ample rescue and recovery resources there. Also I promise you these are edited lowlights. Thousands of competent captains go through this inlet. I love rescuing people when I’m out I’ve helped 4 or 5 boaters in need and received help a few times.

Nevermind the PWC'ers. The captain of the first boat is the bigger jerk.. Almost sinks the boat with all those people in it...

@@b.hanson406 As a matter of fact IT IS unlawful to NOT render assistence to those in need of help!!!! I think this law is already centuries old and counts worldwide!!!

Free dumb

"Dont ride in the bow" says the guy with the boat. So everyone goes to the bow. You teach em, otherwise they don't learn.

Was looking for this comment lol

Most larger deep V hulls have no problem though it's more about the captain having knowledge of how to handle rough water. Seavee's and Nortechs also handle the inlet easily when correct throttle control, trim and direction are used.

What's the game plan, is it go faster and on an angle, or straight through? Or can you make it going super slow? I see some speed looks good, but what if you don't want to take off five feet in the air, I need to know

15:26 on.... no stress to him, his passenger, the boat....

yeah it's totally weird

Apparently trim bow up slightly and have enough speed to keep the bow raised. If you crest a big wave, turn slightly away from the direct line. Stay 5m from the break wall for minimum chop. That’s all I’ve learned watching these.

A deep V stiff hull handled such waters best, or a Rigid Inflatable Boat (RIB) which is what you'll see most emergency services use as they were specifically designed for use in such conditions. A great part, however, is also down to captain's competency. Many in these videos are totally incompetent and terrible examples of seamanship or SOLAS awareness. If they weren't so bad they wouldn't be on these videos right? Florida has a special relationship between stupidity and boating - where else globally do you see as many idiots as at Haulover and Boca inlets? A lot of (very dumb) people also say just use speed - well you can easily stuff a 40' Midnight or Viking that way. The correct way is use control of speed, trim (bow attitude) and steering. I've manufactured and sailed boats over 50 years from dinghies, 50'+ yachts to racing cats and there is nothing that's safe in the hands of a total idiot. Understand the ocean - treat it gently and leard how to co-exist. You will never beat it and it will cost you a lot if you don't respect it - not just in boat repairs but possibly your life.

these aren't big waves, at all, they are close together tho. What happens at the inlet, the ocean is "firing" right into the inlet, the waves pop up right AT the inlet, into the inlet, soooo.... you have to know.... is the water rushing OUT of the inlet or IN the inlet? Then which way am I headed? Seems juvenile I know, but a guy driving a boat is an automatic danger to himself, his passengers and everyone in the other boats around him. That statement seems weird BUT, the boat will not steer without throttle, things get sticky, boats get close togther and shyt will happen. The second you need to chop the throttle, collision avoidance or whatever, the boat no longer rides waves, steers, or does anything at all. It'll just HIT whatever it's pointed at. Collision avoidance. It won't do that. It won't turn away, it won't quickly back up especially if 3 nanoseconds before it was under power. It HAS NO BRAKES. IF IF IF you absolutely have to RIGHT NOW slam it outta Forward, into Reverse because DEATH IS NEAR, you've just knocked the props off (a bigger boat), regardless of size, it'll take, for full on-the-gas into full panic stp by reversing, it'll eat up 30-40 yards. It will hit whatever it's pointed at. Plus ALWAYS ASSUME every boat Captain is drunk, and his passengers too. It's 100000% true. Not many good decisions coming. The BEST thing to do when in a boat ...... keep the water OUT of the boat, keep the passenges IN the boat. No one wears a life jacket and no matter what you say, n one ever will. It's insane really. Take the fattest, no swimmingest grandma and she refuses to wear one, cause it ain't "cool". Soooo... THAT automatically means that ALL life preservers shall be stowed in a matter as to make them unusable. People have them, in a wad, under a seat, tangled up so tight it takes 10 minutes to get one out. As for the video, most guys are "tourist"ing around, they PLAN on dousing the kids down, part of the fun. A lot of these wave runner accidents, they are rentals, they let anyone get on. Being in the inlet is the most dangerous place on the whole water. No room for error. A boat without the throttle held down is just a log in the water, a painted upholstered log.
