CHAOS AT HAULOVER WHEN CAPTAIN PUTS FAMILY IN DANGER !! | HAULOVER BOATS | WAVY BOATS 

It doesn't take much to find yourself in a world of trouble at Haulover Inlet. Let us know your thoughts on this one? Also, where is everyone watching from today? 🌎

Don't you just love how the life jackets are strapped to the covers poles and not strapped onto the kids. Some people are just clueless.

I have 50+ years experience in boating and I have a Master’s License with the Coast Guard. And… I own a 28 ft. pontoon boat with a 350 hp Mercury Verado. Pontoon boats are not designed for open water, they do not belong there, they should only be in protected waters. The problem with pontoon boats is that they dive, the bow dives in turbulent waters and sometimes in perfectly calm waters if the boat is not loaded and handled correctly. One of the reasons they so easily dive is because they are notoriously under powered. Not enough weight and power on the stern. The 350 hp on my boat enables me to keep the bow up because of its power and weight. And the tilt of the motor must be adjusted properly to keep the bow up. I don’t have had a problem with my boat diving because of the reasons stated. This gives me a lot more flexibility in turbulent waters which gives onlookers who are having difficulty confused looks on their faces. I recently captained a boat for a group of 12 in an under powered pontoon boat the same size as mine in a coastal bay. The 15 knot winds out of the east practically turned that boat into a submarine. I can be in the same conditions with my boat and not have a problem because of more weight and power on the stern of the boat. My advice for those who want to be a little more adventurous, get a boat no less than 25’ in length or more, and put the biggest motor the boat is rated for. And stay out of open waters.

Hauliver is no place for a pontoon boat.

Dad should be cited for child endangerment !!!!!!!!!!

That Italian boat looks very similar to a WW2 PT boat. I LIKE IT !!!

That pontoon boat has no business being at Haulover Inlet and those kids should all have life jackets on!!! Bad on ya cap for putting your passengers in harms way.

Man.. In my state all children must have life jackets on at all times. Glad they made it out

None of the young kids had a PFD on. That is just wreckless.

@1:17 based on this video as evidence, this kid frantically screaming with no vest should automatically get this guy fined and licensed revoked !!!

That Baglitetto is nice.. it looks like it's the perfect boat for Haulover.. Captian seemed to know what he was doing, it was the smoothest ride in the video!

Water cop could have scored big time with that pontoon boat! Gives a new meaning to "rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic"! LOL. Even with the Hatteras, people on board had to hold their drinks.

remember kids, when the water gets rough make sure your boat is wearing a life jacket even if its yours.

The kids are smarter than the dad!

Wrong boat in the wrong place with an incompetent captain and too many occupants. Scary.

That Baglietto MV13 @ 4:33 is a sweet looking boat...kinda reminds me of an updated boat for McHale's Navy

What is it that people do not understand about needing the weight off the bow and in the back of the boat? You don’t need to be a seasoned seafarer to figure it out.

Hull flagged boat looked like a PT boat

When I was a kid in the 1980's and we went on a boat ride with my grandparents, us kids always had to wear lifejackets 100% of the time, even if we didn't like the way they felt on us.

Runnin’ with fenders out is at least one demerit 😂

Crazy how complete strangers often care more about a child's safety than their own parents.

Newbies taking a pontoon into the ocean reminds me of seals leaving the island while sharks are patrolling the beach just waiting for a meal

Boat is overloaded. Amazing the amount of times I see people with a boat being careless and hazardous to their passengers and others.

Seven kids? They’ll never miss a couple. No big deal.

Pontoon: let me count the ways this driver (not captain) puts these kids in danger. Baglietto: grate looking boat.... this guy is a real captain. Nice and smooth.

The pontoon gave me Duck Tour vibes- death by negligence... Pull down any side shades/screens and you've got yourself a perfect deathtrap. The captain really should be cited...

That Baglietto looks so cool. It reminds me of a PT Boat.

On first video it's obvious the "captain" is not the sharpest knife in the kitchen...

Smartest object in that video was the lifejacket wearing pontoon boat!

Here on the left coast, California, it's anyone under 13 years old is required to wear a PFD (life jacket). I like anyone under 16 years old, or anyone who isn't a strong swimmer. Anyone who asks for a PFD gets one. There's always a Type IV throwable PFD available. I operate in sheltered waters. Boating is supposed to be fun, not lethal.

The Baglietto ist the perfect A-Team-Tool, looks more like a Navy speed boat than a recreational yacht!

Those kids should definitely wear the life jackets the whole time

Answer to your captain question @ 2:20 = yes take the family to the park and toss a frisbee instead

Should be charged with criminal negligence, putting those kids lives at risk

That footage should be able to get the captain ticketed.

I just watched a stork with baby storks video…now it all makes sense when watching Haulover videos.

Lovin’ me that “Killa Whala”!

the baglietto looks like a ww2 motor torpedo boat and seems to handle well lol

Baglietto MV13 looks like the Italian version of a boating world 'Humvee'.

The Baglietos hull and deck look very similar to a WWII U.S. PT boat.

The Baglietto MV13 @ 4:33 shows the lineage of Italian boat design stretches way way back... you know, to Roman times.... and that particular boat appears to have great sea keeping abilities as well as looking "military" cool....

That gray boat captain knew how to ride the waves instead of fighting them.

The Baglietto hull reminds me of a U-Boat design.

He is not a captain! He is just someone driving the boat! Stop calling these people captains! It takes years of training and documentation to become a certified USCG Captain!

Last time I checked, even pontoon boats have trim. Wow.

Fenders hanging off the side of the boat while running is always the first sign

I know I must have mentioned this a bunch already but I love watching these vids. I used to go out here too often and it can be scary for even some seasoned captains.

Pontoon boats have no business at haulover except for on the calm points during the day.

Where was the life jacket for that little one?

Authodox massive stepping out in the pontoon. Respect, crewed like a well oiled machine. Although a tad fool hardy they pulled it back, hats, head scarfs and floating people carrier all intact. Happy days

1:22 Parents: 7 children are too much. Let’s do some boating in the Haulover with the kids 😄

when the baby is smarter than the parents..........

This Larson Escape is actually coastal rated...but that means intracoastal, lagoons, bays... not rough passes. It also assumes you know what you're doing.

The Hatteras is the best hull design in this video… if you want to stay high and dry in larger swells. That foredeck doesn’t even get misted with water!!!! That’s a classic hull design meant for these inlet conditions. Slow and boring, but sturdy and strong.

His most serious mistake was getting that ridiculous pontoon boat :DDD

No parent should put their children in a boat without a life jacket. How could they have saved the 7 children if they had taken on enough water to sink the boat? Impossible!! 😱

As always thank you 🫡🤩

Whaler captain knew what he was doing

4:50 - looks like a baby PT boat, and the captain handles it well. Surf don’t stuff!

800 horsepower doesn't seem like enough in the Baglietto, it looks like it could handle double that. Anyway, that thing has a serious PT boat look to it, pretty cool.

The main theme in every video... dont underestimate Haulover inlet. 😊

The Captain ? Glad the pontoon boat returned to where they came from

I’m guessing , they’re hanging out at the Haulover sand bar, and the kids are like” hey Dad, let’s head out the inlet and get on Wavyboats” and Dad’s like, “ Ok, we’ll just do a U-turn when we get out there.

I always click "like" before I even watch the video. And I've never been disappointed!

Love the Hatteras.... Classic beauty !

That’s crazy in Arkansas the law is anyone under 16 on a boat has to have a life jacket on at all times or you get a big ticket

Boating reminds ne of racing motocross.. its about timing and rhythm.....

Why these videos are so addictive?

I nominate this captain for a Darwin Award

At least the boat itself will be safe because it is wearing 6 life jackets😔

Italian boat looks like some military boat, love it!

Very lucky it was a calm day

I’m always amazed that when people are in some type of difficulty boats like this boat, sinking or fires or plane crashes they’re more worried about cell phones, purses, and water bottles then saving their lives

The fact that this is my principal is crazy

A buddy is a commercial diver near there. He make $20,000 to $30,000 a year for the 1 or 2 times he is called to recover bodies from that area. Its nice side hustle for only a few hours or work.

Darwin award contender videos

in the UK , we have a saying Mutton dressed up as lamb ref boat one

The amount of people without life jackets is insane

Need to make people go through a real boat safety course when buying a boat, not the bullshit capt course online.

Note how the pontoon rode sublimely over the waves on the way back into the inlet when the passenger weight was taken off the bow lounge area and placed where it should be...at the rear?

Pontoon boat should have a warning about large swell at the helm... No matter how many times you see it , they don't seem to learn

That Baglietto reminds me of a US WWII PT Boat.

Italian boat look like a PT boat 👍🏻

Pontoon captain probably thought with the reasonably calm waters he'd be fine but just goes to show even calm conditions at this inlet is too much for a pontoon to handle.

A salty mariner always has fenders out while underway in rough waters. When the boat sinks fenders and coolers will be the only flotation available.

What was he thinking even trying to bring that boat out as a minimum.

That one boat just looked like a recommissioned PT boat.

Baglitto is built like an old navy combat boat , solid design , looks heavy? I would like a little more sea board than the Baglitto shows

Treat these conditions like a jet ski - life jackets ON.

Maroons driving with fenders out. Mark of a dip stick !

How does no one ever say "let's get the weight to the back of the boat"? Just drive the bow down, it's fun 😅

glad they made it ok. the best intentioned family thing, somebody should have told them.

Wow that was scary.

The 1st clip is an easy answer, trim the motor out to raise the bow.

That pontoon boat owner got lucky. Pontoon boats are for calm smaller bodies of water. That Captain jeopardized everyone on board with attempting to go out that channel. He should have to attend training classes. I’ll bet that bilge pump was maxxed out.

At least the Bimini would survive if the boat went down!

Nice

What dis you do on Sunday? I took the family out to the water and scared the crap out of them😂

I'm so angry those kids did not have on lifevests. And what in the heck is a pontoon doing out there?

1:57 What the need to do is right there in the name of the boat.
