Matador Charters transiting Oregon Inlet, N.C. on an especially rough winter day with big breaking waves on board the 42' Ray Davis Charter boat "Matador". There's no turning back as huge seas show us why Oregon Inlet is a very dangerous place to boaters. Capt. Jake Hiles and Capt. Robert Mudgett are professionals. Like several other dangerous and rough inlets in the United States, (Haulover Inlet, Florida and Columbia River, Washington come to mind) Oregon Inlet can be a VERY ROUGH INLET to boaters! The Outer Banks of North Carolina are known as "The Graveyard of the Atlantic" because of these dangerous seas! DONT TRY THIS AT HOME!

My buddy and I just came in the OI two days ago at 5am from heavy seas after sailing from Yorktown VA thru the night on a Beneteau Evasion 32 with a 4.7 draft. It was hairy as hell. Seasoned captians at the fishermans center called us stupid straight to our faces multiple times, not "be careful doing that" or "wow, you guys are lucky"....just "you guys are stupid" and we are not little wimpy guys... my buddy goes 325 6'4 and I'm 6'1 220 and kinda mean look'in. These guys were just being sincere and apparently that's was the most appropriate way to address what we did. We really didn't get offended either. Nobody sails through the OI with a draft like that. Apparetly noone sails through the OI at all. Never again.

Horrific, we had a similar passage last year. My mouth went bone dry. I just focused on each wave at a time. Never ever again. Go ahead and call me a coward but I love my boat, and my life. Not to mention my girlfriend and our pets. Respect to you guys. Well done.

Back in 82 to 85 while I was in the Coast Guard I was at the old CG station on the Pea Island side. The channel was always constantly changing. Had a permanent Army Corp dredge there to clear out channel.Was there for the F/V Lois Joyce. Some pretty hectic cases at that inlet.

great video, looks like a rough ride. i love all the people who commented how thats nothing and they been through worse but none responded to lets see the video. so many people have to one up everyone instead of just enjoying the video. STAY SAFE!!!! I was shocked that it was only 8ft to 12ft i think i saw on one of your posts. how far out till it starts getting ocean deep. i have only been out in the ocean once we went 9 miles out leaving San Diego on a whale watching boat. that was a rough ride. so i dont know anything about what you were in but it looked and sounded like u guys were taking a pretty good beating to your boat. STAY SAFE!!!!

@FlatlandMando 6 лет назад

I would go out on this person's boat. It is hairy, where they are going but the guy is throttled way back, keeping steerage & bow into the waves one by one by one, watching each one for additional dangerous crests etc. They sound weirded- out ( which I would be) but they sound SOBER. Well done.

@daveinindy 6 лет назад

The varied angles of the waves in the inlet were the major problem, not wave height. You see the boat get pushed a bit to the port side by one angled wave, where it meets the next wave at an angle and rolls a bit. This is the action that is so problematic at places like this.

@dannyboy9817 6 лет назад

Great job of crossing that bar sir with skill, care and thought for the comfort and safety of your crew and the integrity of your boat. Plenty of keyboard "experts" on here as usual who clearly don't understand why standing waves occur and have clearly never bottomed their boat out in the shallows beneath them. I'd go to sea with you over them any day.

@carolinagoldbug983 3 года назад

GREAT job. In those conditions, I don't see a 42' boat doing it any 'gentler'. Had just the right speed. Perhaps, Captain, you should tell the skeptics here that Oregon Inlet ALSO has notoriously fickle and ever-changing shoals. Which a LOT of boats.....even driven by experienced skippers........manage to 'snag' in rougher conditions. That's, perhaps the most dangerous part of Oregon Inlet. Kudos, sir. (p.s. I'm just an amateur driving a 21' Carolina Skiff. No old sea-dog tales to tell.......lol).

@MrStukid 6 лет назад

Wow, what a ride! I'm curious, when you got to the area where the waves were breaking, is that because it got shallower? What is the depth? What was tide, incoming with on shore wind to create such heavy surf? The worst I've ever done was Ponce Inlet near Daytona Fl, and it was hairy, but nowhere near as bad as what you went through.

@CharterFishing 6 лет назад

Stuart Kidder it's the mouth of a small inlet with a large bay behind it. Tide was coming out of the bay and the waves are breaking on the shoals outside inlet.

@deemiller943 5 лет назад

many years ago we were exiting a bar at Jones Beach , piloting a Chriscraft . My Dad timed it poorly , and we took 2 huge breakers that broke on the forward deck and came over the windshield. luckily the scuppers handled the first wave pretty well. By the second wave , we were nearly swamped and barely made the 3rd wave of the set. A truly scary situation as we would have been dead in the water with subsequent waves beating the small vessel to bits. Inlets and bars are places to exercise extreme caution...

@Ymmij1976 5 лет назад

Be through that inlet many of times and it's never a dull moment. That inlet is no joke, I have watched a 30 some ft boat get completely swamped as they where following us out. That place can get balls deep in a matter of seconds. This video really does not give the real feel of actually crossing that bar!! 😥😥😲😲

@ashton150 7 лет назад

nice video but when o was a little kid it was the Stuart inlet in Florida bigger waves and a smaller boat keep up the good work

@michaeldady8022 2 года назад

When they call for marine forecast to be around 2ft and turns out to be 25 knt and kicks it up to 4 to 6 thru the inlet, with seas following then from port rear quarter. Throttle behind a breaking swell and throttle back or have even backed down to miss the breaking wave, be blown to the beach lose sight of the channel markers in a 20 ft cc was at or past my peak of years of experience in the marine industry. Can’t imagine being in a deeper draft snaking the bottom in a trough and lose power steering or knock the shaft out the hull and sink. Beautiful day fishing can be scary 20 min getting back in

When the boat gets to the whitewater @ 1:26, how deep is the white water there compared to the darker water before it, and after it?

@CharterFishing 2 года назад

At no point in this video is the water deeper than 15 feet. This is a very shallow area and it's made even more dangerous because of the shallowness.

@bdr5150 2 года назад

@@CharterFishing it looks shallow and im sure its the reason for the waves and currents also. So the deeper water is around 15’ or so. Then how deep is it at the whitewater there? It looks even shallower! Its gotta be intense when it is windy!

@cliffbooth7075 5 лет назад

Whole crap that would’ve been nerve racking. The rise and fall between the sets was up there. The skip knew exactly what he was doing by taking it easy and pointing straight at the waves as that’s the safest way. If he went to fast it’d be a serious calculated danger and that is not water I’d want to try & stay afloat in for longer than 1 minute.

@jamesatkins1802 6 лет назад

Oh please. When I was stationed aboard the Point Brown, an 82 foot Coast Guard cutter at Oregon Inlet in the 80's we would go across the bar to 15-25 foot seas during a storm.

@CharterFishing 3 года назад

This is after a winter storm, the inlet has changed since the 1980s, and it's not an 82' boat.

@CharterFishing 3 года назад

And also, coast guard station oregon inlet is nestled away just beside the oregon inlet fishing center, and does not, and has never had a berthing for a cutter. I doubt a United states coast guard cutter has entered the oregon inlet in the last 40 years, but if you say so.
