Miami's Watson Island has Huge Problems. (Abandoned Boats/Partying) 

Awesome , We used to launch out of Watson island headed to Bimini , Very good info Alfred Thanks . ps my wife says I talk in my sleep , but I’m skeptical as no one at work has ever mentioned it 😀

Hey, Mr. Montaner-good to put a face with the voice! Really enjoy your videos.

Does abandoned boats similar to the one in California. Local government does not want to take responsibility for removing those boats because it will be up to them to have them destroyed or recycled and they don't want that cost. They keep going back and forth as to who should remove them. I think they should just run the registration numbers and fine the owners of the boat until they have them removed

That’s what’s up 👍🏻great job Alfred love the different Chit Show areas.

Alfred, my recollection is the ship channel is open to recreational vessels as long as there are no more that two cruise ships in Port. You must stay 200 yards off the ships. I haven't run through there in a while but thats what I remember. As far as illegal charter boats. It's a problem in Miami. For every one boat they take out you have two new ones the following week. They (illegal ones) are a real nuisance and most have no idea what they are doing. Things should taper down now that the government stopped paying people to not work.

I was born and raised in Miami... Brings back a lot of memories... Some good, some not so good.. But, I do miss it.. Cheers from South Carolina..

The water is public property. This is the side effect of buying a house on the water.

Dude, love the content! Definitely helps to get my H2O fix when I can’t be on my boat.

It's amazing how Alfred's camera can catch cellulite textures on a lot of these women considering how he's not close to them at all 🤣

WAITTTTTTTTTTTTT FOR IT ALFRED IS OUT HERE MAKING A SCENE!!!!!!!

Alfred! Your vids are getting better all the time! We never miss one!🤗

Just because someone can afford a 40 million dollar house doesn’t mean they own the water. If they want privacy, they should have bought an island somewhere

Was following along on Google maps, spinning the view for a perspective on where you were. Cool little tour!

Man you do a great job. Love watching keep go in. Always wanted to see how it happens when a car goes in!!!

Passing through about a month ago I stayed the night at the anchorage by Rickenbacker marina and the rusty pelican. Huge mistake! It was a Thursday night and people were playing Hispanic music as loud as it would go until 3am. Beautiful views but it doesn’t come with peace and quite. In addition, one of the many jet skis racing around hit a boat. It’s a real chit show over there.

Dam i would so snag one of those abandoned vessels

About the derelict boats. I started in 2005 as dispatcher for FWC law enforcement. We worked on this problem since then. Will need legislative effort. Boat sinks. Owner files insurance claim, Just like a car, the boat is totaled by insurance company. Owner signs the boat over to ins. company and they both just walk away leaving it to government to remove. Fla. has spent $millions of off budget money on this. Needs to change! Either owner or ins. company needs handle removal.

The parting is on Flagler Monument Island. They even make adult movies there. I heard that the cities of Miami and Miami Beach have been trying to clean it up ever since

Been to Miami one time and you had me reminiscing with this video. You are totally right, i dont like gambling, vegas pools are pretty fun, but miami has a better night life, because of the lack of gambling.

I used to love seeing the sea plans from Chalks taking off and landing.

It’s nice to put a face to the voice. And a nice face at that! I thoroughly enjoyed this one- informative and great camera work. Question: if those boats are abandoned, can anyone salvage one? I mean are they for the taking?

same here in Vancouver you will get a bill after 5 years though if its registered. plus with the defund the police and lack of tourists/cruises might be hitting the government check book

WELCOME TO THE CHIT SHOW!

Yes Alfred, Miami is unique ! 🏝️⛵🏖️⛵🏝️⛵🏖️⛵🏝️⛵

Good to see you busting out videos you the man Alford

Thanks great video , new perspective 👍 Why haven't the derelict boats been removed? I'd think between the rich people and environmentalists it would get done quickly 🌴😎

I’m pretty sure I remember an old Florida Sportsman article about how good the fishing is on cruise ship row.

I love this chit..... another cool video

nice video man!

I lived on Belle Isle in the 90's when I was in my 20's. Talk about making a scene. Is Jimbo's still there on Virginia key? THAT was the Sunday scene.

Love it!

this video is all over the place I live here and know the area very well and you got me dizzy

You get your chit fixed yet ? Probably my favorite youtube channel , top 3 At least

Back in the day you could watch the Chaulk’s sea planes land in Government cut and the terminal was on Watson Island.

I've sailed out of that port. It was beautiful.

Awesome footage. What camera are you using?

That Sea Plane used to hang out all the time at picnic island

Chit show all over Miami!

It could be that the area rich have acquired a mini sub and are sinking the party boats. Blub blub blub

Alfredito i need parts from that wellcraft to fix mine. 🤣🤣

That shot at 3:30 looks just like a lot of our islands here in the Bahamas 🇧🇸. Including the derelict boats 🚤 ha ha.

People want to defund the police. So now patrols are limited or completely canceled in specific areas.

So, what are the laws like with the derelict boats? At what point are they considered derelict & do they have a recovery contractor for cleaning them up?

see here in Tampa there is a ramp Williams Park. has over 15 boats sunk and abandoned. Its a on going thing. No one wants to do anything because they dont get paid for it and its ruining our waters.

Those boats in the water, with oil, fuel and God knows what getting into that water. 'Nuff said!!!...

They are only letting boat traffic going north under the dodge island bridge. All traffic going south now have to go on the north side of dodge island with the cruise ships. I think it’s because they are extending the cruise ship terminal.

What kind of gear do you use to get that kind of quality?

Hey Alfred I have a question only you can answer, do they in Miami have a NOISE LAW as far as music on my boat?.

At min 1:30 that boat dock looks like the place the Duck boat tour… lol u just mentioned it.

Wait for it...

Was that a batter powered bike, I saw, at the ramp, in the beginning ? PRAYERS/BLESSINGS

Same thing by pelican on 79st. A couple first 48 episodes based on the anchored boats. Police call it water world.

Good content but I still want to see the verrado make a scene on the flat cat. Rich people don't own water or waterways. It's a shame those boats are abandoned there because they just create underwater hazards and look gross. Sure the city has plenty of money from taxes to extricate those vessels. They can also make city ordinances too. Lmao but I'm no politician.

Chit choe for life!

used to fish behind Miami Herald.

Hey I'm interested in see how much cost to recovery one 'and if possible to get registered to another state

The graveyard for boats next summer and beef make someone BC is one like that too

Alfred that is the worst boat ramp, all the F jet ski rental co. take up all the parking while there waiting on customers w jet skies still on trailer or they leave a car with no vessel over night to save parking.

8:25 That's Al Pacino's House bro.🤙 He scaled down a little bit because of the economy.

Can you keep the boats? What if no one claims it or picks it up??

Sad end to that V-20 Steplift at 3:00 or so.

u need fred hats

Some locations will get the boats registration info then track the owner down . They will slap You with fees and levees etc. on salvage removal etc.

Cruise ship at 10:15 is in dire need of some maintenance.

SO WHERE IS THE SAND BAR THAT PEOPLE PARTY ON AT LOW TIDE?? MANY BOATERS GO HERE TO PARTY AND THE FRESCO CHANNEL PARTYING WITH THEM ALSO !! HERE IN MAINE THAT'S DRINKING N DRIVING WHEN OPERATING OF A BOAT

Could be a nice Well Craft to restore.

how many of the free anchorage boats use a pump out service?? Not many.

Really liked this one, thank you. I’m mostly land locked here in the southwest desert but have always dreamed of a coastal life. Thank you for taking me there, even if the derelict boats stain it a little. They’ll get them outta there hopefully sooner than later.

Dear Alfred, I guess the reason there were no police presence in the area beside cruise ships because if you notice beyond where those fishing men there are a post with multiple PTZ cameras overlooking at the sea area, so that the police stay offshore in comfort watching and recording for any evidence before interfering. Alfred, I do really missed your walking tours specially on SO beach, Brickell, Coconut Groove or elsewhere to show what activity going on, but I know that the weather is unforgiving at this time. Enjoy Your Heaven.

Dated a Cubana who’s parents lived on Star Island. Unbelievable wealth there 😳

Why didn't you go to hibiscus island we could see those beautiful houses!!

Wait four it. 🥺

A lot of boats were left after Irma hit there and damaged boats.

Alfred i do not understand why you hate PWCs so much have you ever rode one of the newer ones ? they are phenominal as far as acceleration and they stop and they are super easy to dock . Seadoo has even came out with a PWC inspired pontoon boat called the switch .

Some are fixable !!!!

Is so far it's been different scenery

I have the same old murder hornet that the guy in the end....

I'll take one of them abandoned boat

3:40 - the Orca...

Acere mándame ese casquito paca 😢

Acere mándame ese bote paca aunque sea el casquito 😢

Seams like those rich people made a bad investment. I guess they could buy the water. I don't feel bad for them.

I never say anything negative about the coast guard or environmental police, in MA they're amazing, but where the hell are they?! Those sunken boats are hazards to navigation not to mention environmental hazards from leaking fluids.

😉 👍

No Fred here?

So can someone pick up those abandoned boats , rebuilding and keep them?

Wow if only I got a $ for every time I hear “BRO”

Ok

Oh no there's sunken chit in my view. My entitled butt don't like it. There's nothing I can do about it. But complain.

Actually the best place to party in Florida is Pensacola

FIX YOUR COLLAR FOOOOL!!!❤LOL

Anything Worth salvage rights?

Alf anyway a guy could get a boat from Florida like the one in your thumb nail

their homes

Those boats are free for the taking… many homeless people live on them

Interesting all those waterfront homes, no boats. Same thing here. Multi multi million dollar homes and no boats. In the one harbor area I'm speaking of it's mostly Asians buying in and I guess they're not into boating. Strange to see on the water homes with slips and no boats. Newport harbor with bazillion dollar homes is loaded with boats. Use to have sucked boats everywhere because of seals and a law you can't disturb them. More Frick end seal than seagulls. The people got together and used environmental groups against each other stating the seals sinking boats is polluting the waters and they should all be removed at the owners expenses. Done. Half if not most belonged to people nolonger alive.

The police was watching for terrorism when there was hundreds of passengers there. If the boats are not operating, then the resources would be used somewhere else. Just a thought. 😎

Because stupid you just can’t fix……

I thought you were going to tell us some juicy story??
