Wavy Boats is the Hungarian guy, right? Nice guy! 10k subscribers in a week? With this video you should be at 100k by March if you promote it a little. Good luck!
@@dahveed284 many times you can share this video into boating groups and it creates a frenzy. You may already know that. But some (Boat Owners United) will not allow it as I have tried sharing them.
That guy was so clueless. Not only not going out on that rough day, but he has no skills in controlling a boat, and then to top it all off, he’s doing it at slow idle speed. Sitting here watching it, saying give it some gas and get out of there.
I said it before and I'll say it again, " Just because you can afford a boat doesn't mean you should own a boat." This guy is right out of the book of what not to do in rough seas, Holy shit!
how to handle "rough seas" has nothing to do with it. The point is that you dont cross bars in certain conditions period...unless its a life saving trip. the fact he was going as slow as was probably saved the boat.
As a boat owner, im yelling at my screen for him to gun it out of there. Id rather be in my well worn-beat to hell center consule that brings my passengers home alive rather than a rich pompous fool in a brand new sport Fisher too stupid to captain in safely.
I just love this footage.... I use it in my maritime training classes to demonstrate to students of the pitfalls of bar crossings and inlet transits... keep them coming matey!
Almost 600,000 dead and y’all key on the masks as being the problem. And you think they’re the ones brainwashed? I’ve known several people who have died from this shit, Not just old people either. And none of them were democrats. So I have yet to figure out what politics has to do with it other that one side decided not to believe it was real or decided not to believe the scientists. And only made things worse. But then, these guys wearing masks is what you key in on here? Talk about obsessed and brainwashed.
I think you should retitle this video to “boat in big waves” or something other than the click bait you currently have. The boat clearly is not destroyed.
@@RoughInlets A couple points...First is I don't get why this dude was even going out...seas suck, and they weren't fishing, so not sure what the motivation was. Second, that boat is 300k or more...and he doesn't know what he is doing, so I am thinking it's a rental. Probably forked out the 2500 bucks to rent it for the day so was committed to going out.
This guy was definitely trying to sink his boat for insurance fraud. He definitely did everything he possibly could to sink this boat while still having plausible deniability. Cobias immaculate engineering saved this boat today. This could be an ad for Cobia "it wont sink even when you want it to"
I was just sitting here thinking, Cobia really ought to use this footage in their advertisements. Even an idiot who apparently cannot find the throttle can't sink it.
@@bradleyland Guess what, all engines were swamped by the sea, stalled, and they were lucky to get one restarted, although it took some time cranking the hell out of it. Probably engine damage beyond repair too
Glad the bilge pump was working and it was working overtime! It seems like the only time you find your bilge pump isn't working is when you need it most. That's why I installed two on separate power lines and fuses!
And since you mentioned it.. manufacturer’s have a history (recently) of not supplying enough bilge pumps or battery power to power them where it would have made much difference.
That dude needs to sell the boat immediately. He’s a risk to himself and the crew. Clueless how to operate that monster. He had all the best equipment and tons of power and got pounded for no reason.
@@snewogj throttle up into the waves, 90 degrees to the wave when returning or youre over, try it in a kayak, your getting wet. Think of a surfer with no power, he goes accross the wave and in front of it. do that in a boat or kayak and you surf until the sea gets bored of you then it flips you round and over like this idiot nearly did. Give it the beans and you get through.
Me and I retired a near coastal Masters license I held from 1983 until 2018. Back in about 1995 as I was making a turn right up for the entrance I caught a wave that literally turned a 61 ft steel hull crew boat into a surfboard that was moving faster than I I could at full throttle wave pressure locked my rudders. Missed the entrance bouy I mean by inches. Surfed that near 30 ft wave a mile into the entrance of Apra Harbor Guam over mile couldn't turn to starboard and managed to put the pressure on my hydraulic steering give me a little bit of rudder to Port and that's how I broke out of the wave into clean water inside the breakwater. Took every bit of skill and knowledge that I learned as a Coast Guard Boatswains Mate that day. That was the pilot boat, for the tug company. Had come back from about month-long vacation and for some reason the port engineer had dropped the engine from 2,225 RPM down to 1800 the vessels would not get up on plane, could only do 11 knots compared to the 16 knots it would do at the higher setting, which would have given a 1300 shaft horsepower out of those two 12v 71 twin turbocharged intercooled Detroit diesels in the engine room.
The COBIA did NOT get “destroyed”, as your title states. This is a very strong, safe and trustworthy boat. The three occupants (no qualified captain) were very lucky (they did not wear life jackets). Jupiter inlet risks demand that all occupants have life jackets. Some boat operators think it isn’t “cool” to have a life jacket.
I didn’t take “destroyed” as in the boat was destroyed. I took “destroyed” to mean the trip was destroyed, the ego’s were destroyed, Jupiter destroyed that attempt! Which it did and then they limped home lol And I totally agree that there was no qualified captain. No qualified captain would risk everyone’s lives, especially for nothing.
I think they meant "destroyed" in the sense of "We got destroyed last night" when discussing a wild night and equally shitty hangover. The boats don't really shatter anymore when they hit the waves. Though watching hydroplanes explode when hitting waves can be interesting. Offshore racers still do it as well. Almost get blown apart.
IDK, it was close - they nearly lost the boat and possibly a whole lot more. Water breaking over the bow, not much time between the rollers - did you see the water coming out on the way back??? Those bilge pumps were working WAY OVER TIME. If he engines were flooded or lost power, that boat would not be toast - it would be at the bottom of inlet!
I'm a landlubber and even I know 1) never approach a wave broadside, 2) if you're gonna go, go! and 3) you follow a wave in riding its backside, you don't try to surf down the front.
@@saschaganser9671 I could see that big set forming up on the visible horizon and the guy behind the wheel (not a captain) was just sitting there puttering waiting to get pounded. Just because you can afford to buy a great boat does not mean you are capable of piloting that great boat. Some people have no business being allowed into a bathtub without a life preserver, and that dude is one of them.
It was literally as if it was the guys first day ever at the helm of a boat. Sooo many mistakes in just one short trip. How does that happen in such an expensive boat? I wonder if he realizes how lucky he was.
i work in an industry where alot of these boat guys are also my clientele. The motorsport im involved in takes alot of skill and coordination. Let me say it is exceptionally rare that someone has BOTH the talent and skill to amass enough Wealth to afford these vehicles AND have the Skill and Talent it takes to operate them. They are 2 very different and completely unrelated skill sets. The chance you have both is nearly zero. The chance you have one and THINK you have the other is nearly 100%. Its some wild shit to witness.
Was he worried about getting broadsided, waited until he had 3 or 4 Perfect Storm type waves, and then tried to turn around in the worst possible place and generally got insanely lucky this entire outing?
He did try to turn right on top of the bar. Just keep on trucking and turn in calm water. But that’s what people who suffer from Mass Formation Psychosis do when they’re scared all the time.
It's a proven psychological phenomenon where realtively weak-minded, insecure 'sheeple' "follow the crowd" (which may be an astroturfed 'bot' army on social media) rather than follow their own moral compass, intuition or just plain common sense. Elon tried to rid twatter of the zillions of fake bot accounts but was 'fragged' by the anti-democratic forces embedded in the twatter/X platform and every other social media platform. Tic-Toc is a perfect example of a weaponized social media platform whose objective is to create and steer 'public opinion'.
"Skipper" had NOOO idea what he was doing trying to troll through rough ocean white water....lol. I mean wow. Too slow and too indecisive. Despite boating courses/licenses being mandatory in most states the stupidity on the water will never end.
You don't need a captain's license in Ga. I am a relatively new boater, just bought a grady white 22' last year. Needs a little work but I have enough sense to know not to do what this idiot did.
After losing hubby and son 2 years ago, I've dreamt of an altered retirement desire to aquire a 40' boat and live on the west coast waters. Then I discovered your channel. Then another. And another. Hmmm. I've decided to look for a houseboat on Lake Mead as the market price falls with the drought. Low n slow.
It's all about training and humility. There's a woman who is a regular boater on one of these channels who goes out by herself in a relatively tiny boat in some really harsh conditions. I don't know her background (IE if she took classes, or grew up boating) but the point is her experience is what matters. Most of these problem videos are 1) tourists in a rental who have literally never captained a boat before, or 2) people who spend half a million dollars (or more) on a boat and think it's indestructible. If boating is something you're interested in, you can do it!
I live on the north shore of Oahu, where life guards go in and out of swells way bigger than this. There is a time to punch the throttle, and a time to let off. This guy could have easily made it out through those waves if he had punched it up to each wave and then as he hit it, back off enough to not launch in the air, only enough to get up through each wave. If you abort mission, and turn around in the surf, then you have to punch the throttle to get out from under the next wave that is going to roll the boat. If you keep going slow as the next wave hits you while you are going slow on a 45 degree angle, the wave is going to hit you, roll the boat and cause what is called a broch. Right before the broch happens you have to hit the throttle and head towards shore before the wave has a chance to roll you into a broch. The strakes on the hull upon punching the throttle take over and stabilize the boat in a turn. These techniques enable you to out race the given wave back towards shore. Of all places, the captain's of these boats should study these techniques and practice them.
He had more than a minute with no breaking waves where he could have easily cleared the bar but he kept on chugging his way out. Such a shame, wish I could afford a beautiful boat like that!
IDK, he was putting the bow under the rollers. His timing was horrible at best. Lucky he did not have to swim back with this buddies ... though if he swimming is as bad as his piloting, the coast guard may have needed to recover the boat and the bodies.
At best he may have been steering, definitely had no capability of piloting that boat. If he would have used the power, it probably would have just been over sooner LOL. Good to see that they made it though and probably learned a good lesson, mabey
nope that's not how you cross a bar like that. He would have certainly turned the boat over. If you were in the cockpit in those conditions the waves would look 4 times what they are on camera and short intervals with no time to escape. The point is that he should have never left the harbor period.
I’ve gone out the Jupiter inlet like this in a 13’ 1965 Boston whaler. 25 gallon custom tank under the front seat and a 25hp motor kept it well balanced. Scary as hell, but my dad was nuts back then. We turned right at the end of the rocks to the right, came back in from the north east. I sure won’t forget that experience 😂
i believe it. i used to go out in boynton inlet steady plow with good throttle control in a 22 foot center console in 8 foot waves easy with a 150 4 stroke yamaha...the inlet fail videos are mind blowing but i swear i learn something from every googan
I have been out in conditions like that but I was in a 47' MLB with survival gear and a fully trained Surfman, not like this. Glad they made it in ok and you didn't have to call us to save them.
Just because you can afford a nice piece of kit like this doesn’t make you a captain. Years of experience and a few seamanship skills make a captain. It’s an earnt role. POWER is the only way to deal with a seaway like this. No power, no steering! Not rocket science. Talk to the locals before going out in a serious situation like this! No locals? There’s a reason for that..... it’s too frikken dangerous!!
There should be a "rough inlet simulator" where these boat captains (?) can try their hand at navigating these conditions before actually putting their lives and their passenger's lives at peril.
When I passed the boat license the instructor told us a sentence that I remember every time I want to take the sea : The sea doesn’t like the audacious. Don’t joke with strenght that can destroy a city with one wave
Why is he not using the engines heading out? Or coming back in (until the very end)? I do not even think I saw the engines being turned. Qualified Captain!
Of course he used the engines or the there would be zero directional control. The boat is amazing, and could have enough buoyancy to be unsinkable, but it is not immune from being flipped, so, at the minimum, they were setting an example that could lead others to go out and die trying to do what they did.
I'm just here to read the comments from all the certified professional top-of-the-line operators telling us all how it should have been done. When it should have been as easy as, "hey there's no other boats in the inlet today" 🤔
He could have made it out pretty easy, but he was loitering in the impact zone and then turned toward a narly set. Definitely wasn't his boat - looked like some juvie taking his dad's boat
😮I’ve been there in my 52 foot Hatteras Sport Fish with a tower and got caught in a huge incoming wave. We turned on difficult angle and my guests went from port to starboard on the bridge in seconds. I got control before anyone was hurt or damage to my boat. Jupiter Inlet is one of the most dangerous inlets on the east coast. My marina is only 20 miles away but I refuse to use the inlet unless all conditions are in my favor. Never would I come in the inlet on a incoming tide. The waters to the north are 8:00 shallow. Also to the south you must be careful until your a good distance from the entrance. It can be very, very dangerous. Gerald P. Rothman Captian
A lot of crazy bars around, lucky ones get dredged with rockwalls for an easy trip out .... that place might need to be upgraded because it seems busy and expensive boats
@@jaysefmacmanus8858 Cobia should use this to sell along with their boats a course on how to operate a boat. Obviously some people have more money than they have sense.
@@mjbowhunter yeah the captain obviously has no sea time and is very inexperienced , i have been out in worse conditions than that in a much much smaller boat (21ft Quintrex offshore) and i have never had issues like this guy did ! 👍✌️
Question: I'm trying to understand why boats cannot control broaching. I'm thinking that when this captain decides to head back in, and turns to port, that he should do a hard turn and gun the motors briefly to return to a perpendicular orientation to the waves. Is it because propellers lose thrust when overwhelmed by white water? I know that in high-diving they introduce air into the water where the diver enters to reduce impact. Maybe these captains ARE gunning their motors but the props are just spinning in 50% air. What do you think. I have successfully fought broaching in a Catalina 22 sailboat on the coast of Maine when heading back into port, but the waves were nothing like this.
He was between a rock and a very hard place with the length of that boat and the distance between the sets of crazy waves in a really shit spot where they break ..... I think it was run out tide against bastard large wind chop waves. Yes, try to hard turn fast between the sets of waves and not get caught beam on (side on), but he copped the wave from two directions as it divided (they do that/washing machine shit) they were breaking (watch at 7:15), the ass of his boat is picked up with a breaking wave/ nose is down then cops it in the side LOL ..... how it never rolled is amazing ...... try to sit on the back of the wave in front of you coming in, trim the nose up so if the stern gets picked up and the boat gets accelerated the bow doesn't dive down.... go with the speed of the waves, sit on the wave in front. After a while you get used to it, just keep the trim button thumb ready and throttle.... do not get caught with a breaker on ya ass .... if need be throttle up to get further ahead of it. It's nasty bar crossing but pick ya days and tides for a place like that.
@@RoughInlets He should have taken a smaller boat, and just stayed inside. Tooling around the loxahatchee, hit the sand bar or something. Why go outside except to dive or fish? Especially when it's rough! Most guys I know won't even try going outside until April.
Whew, got my heart pumping. Two unsolicited comments; one, when operating in heavy sea with short wave periods you must be super quick on the steering wheel, this guy was letting the boat drive itself, wind and waves overpowered him. Second, These new multi- engined outboards are inherently top heavy (especially on deep-vee’s) so try not to get parallel to big waves, it will roll over. Looks like what saved him was the water in the bilge he took on earlier, note bilge pump stream, which gave him some added weight to offset the outboards. Or...better yet, stay in port.
Good point about the water in the hull. He's lucky it didn't fully broach. It's all about timing in those conditions. He was off the throttle too much IMHO. Just seemed to be bobbing out there making no head way. The longer you spend in that mess the more likely you'll get sideways.
Though walk round boat designs not good .They need scuppers to let the water out fast.I thought him not using all that power was wise,it could have been a lot worse.
yea the lesson is not the shoulda coulda woulda in short interval 12 ft waves...the lesson is never cross a bar in terrible conditions for any reason other than a life saving mission. The fact he didnt slam the throttle probably saved them.
Took a Coast Guard class , on the second day I told the Instructor I really learned alot from the first day. Asked what I have learned...I learned that I did not want a boat...so your quitting the class...no I replied I finishing the course....I need my Certificate to remind me NOT to Buy a Boat..😂
Dude! The throttle control is there for a reason. If your gonna go, go! You cant hesitate in conditions like that. This was like watching someone creep into a busy street expecting the speeding traffic to stop for him.
Ive been in a 21ft bass boat in the Mississippi river with waves close to that and thanks to our awesome captain we felt 100% safe, all because he knew how to use the throttle (hot foot pedal). Years later i was reminding him of that trip and he said, "yeah i would never do that crazy shit again" lmao
Local knowledge here; (1) wear a life jacket! Odds of these guys dying was really high if they landed in the water. The outgoing current is ripping, who is going to find you in that mess before you drown and/or the current washes you away? (2) don't go out Jupiter on a day like this, (3) if you do go out and it's rough, make a hard left or right as soon as you clear the rocks. The middle where these guys went is the worst. Beware the occasional sandbar that can build a couple hundred yards off the beach on the south outside the inlet, it can get shallow (hit it in a 16' boat as a teenager once). Coming back in, the north side gets a lot of shoal, stay towards the middle and away from the north side rocks. The waves get steep and soupy, random and from every angle and the current is ripping at tide changes. Very very easy to stuff the bow in that inlet, especially with following waves. If you're in the ocean and the weather turns and the inlet looks like this on the way back in, go south to Palm Beach inlet. It's a lot wider and deeper and not as bad, worth the trip. Lots of lives lost in Jupiter inlet.
Most boat owners have no idea that a boat will only steer if water is moving over their rudder or lower unit. Stay perpendicular to the waves whether going out or in. When going out, don't "jump" the wave because the bow may go below the wave and get swamped. When coming in, don't allow your boat to become a surfboard, because it isn't! Your boat has to be going faster than the wave to steer and maintain the perpendicular position.
I don't know much about boating, but when I watch your videos I always wonder if the boats that end up in trouble (Or causing trouble) are captained by poorly trained individuals. Could a good captain have made it out safely, or would a good captain not attempted to make it out?
Obviously that's unique for every situation. Here, I think a skilled captain could operate safely, but you'd be at the limits of the boat, and then the question becomes why do you want to go out? You're not going to have any fun or do any fishing, but if you need to get from point A to B you'd probably be fine. Me personally I stay home even when the conditions are much better than this. It's just not fun.
@@The93Nats they’re right next to each other, so masks are not useless. They’re understandable. But no life jackets, especially through a rough pass during a rough day during a small craft advisory to boot, bow that’s true idiocy. At least put on the autoinflating kind!!
The kind of people that would wear face masks to try to stop a reported 60 nanometer pathogen are the same kind of people that would cover their computer with a chain link fence to keep dust off of it. They shouldn't be driving cars, for that matter. They don't have any brain cells that have the capacity to critically analyze anything
@@myotheraccount5947 the same kind of people who put up a security sign without the security system. The same kind of people who have unprotected sex with strangers but feel the need to sterilize their groceries

28 years part time Jupiter inlet, 1985 stand up 550 jets ski and searay 22'. Not an inlet to mess with, reef left going out forms waves right into inlet. Jet ski was easy small ride tops, I was a kid 15-18 doing it. Now live and snow ski Colorado mountains. Some things never die, still alive!
When the waves are passing you up, you know you're going too slow. Just because you can afford a boat, doesn't mean you're a boater. He is more like a Captain's " log "
When I was a kid, I used to fish Jupiter inlet with my dad. He would tell me how dangerous that water was when the tide was going in or out. One day I saw a football end up in the water when the tide was going out. In under a minute the ball was so far out to sea you couldn't see it. That made me believe my dad.
The problem isn't the inlet, it's the boat owners! I love the RADAR mast going like the clappers. It's a clear day. Is he checking the scope for that tanker? I think these dudes need to spend some of their hard earned cash on some training. I wonder if they comprehended how close they were to drowning?
This guy should get a 10/10 for doing everything wrong. I can get my 16ft tinny out in conditions like this with no more than a 25 on the back without an issue. It's all about reading the waves.
A little physics lesson. Boats float because they weigh less than the water that it displaces. When water is white with all those air bubbles, it is less dense. If you get too many bubbles under a boat it will sink. Is it likely to happen from a single wave, probably not. If get enough water over the bow, too many bubbles under you and you are turned sideways, you are not going to have a good day.
