BOAT CRASH INTO 2 PEOPLE AT HAULOVER INLET !! | WAVY BOATS
Haulover Inlet was slammed on 4th of July weekend! The south jetty was closed for the fireworks show so we filmed from the north jetty. Stuffings and accidents in this one. Enjoy the video!

Who is at fault in this accident? The Boat or the PWC?
Definitely the PWC operator. That move was like going down the interstate in the left lane and deciding to make a right turn across traffic without looking. Glad nobody got hurt. That had to leave a stain.
PWC has a death wish
Boat not looking - and on top of that didn’t bother to stop. Punk move
And that was without a drop of rum 👍🏻
Both have a duty to avoid collisions but it looks like the boat is the stand on vessel in this case. I see a lot of PWCs on the water and I swear a lot of them don't have a clue
This is a classic crossing situation according to the rules of the road. The jet ski was the give way vessel, the other was the stand on vessel. When there is a collision on the water it is very rarely 100% a single vessel's fault. In this case it is probably 90% jet ski's fault, 10% the other vessel. This is coming from a retired U.S. Coast Guard Coxswain (small boat captain), deck watch officer, and currently licensed captain.
Exactly. And to simplify, I look at it as what colour bow light does each boat see? The jetshit sees The Port RED LIGHT. The other boat sees the Starboard GREEN LIGHT. Just like traffic signals.
Yup I agree
Thank you for the explanation-it was good to hear it from someone who knows the rules and has so much experience in this situation!
I agree with your assessment but would like to mention that the boat operator should have checked on the jet skiers. Wondering so if street rules regarding accidents apply to the water also? In this case the boat operator left the scene of an accident.
@@tomrogers9467 I'm sure your comment is well intentioned but, unfortunately, lights do not help in the daytime. 😉 You're not even required to turn them on until 30 minutes after sunrise in 30 minutes before sunset. Next jet skis do not have running lights (correction) because they are not allowed on the water until 30 minutes after sunrise until 30 minutes before sunset...my bad. And I knew that I've only owned jet skis for 20 years now. I guess I was just digging deep into the rules. Which apply for small boats not "aqua planers".
Adding the drone footage and getting 2 perspectives is next level. Great job.
You got some really great shots!
You have to be the only channel that puts the subject of the title of your videos right at the beginning instead of hiding it somewhere near the end. Great videos!
Under US Coast Guard maritime law the vessel over taking or turning around in a channel is fully responsible to do so in a safe manner… ie you can’t turn into the path of an on coming boat while turning around in the channel and especially an inlet. This is why boaters hate jet skis so much because they do this all the time.
I am sure they are hard to see too.
Doesn’t matter the fact that it’s in a channel or inlet
@@jamesweitinger2366 as a legal matter it may not, but as a practical one it does.
Yup they are playing whilst others are making passage.
Your talking about Miami here LOL .. 95% of these owners have NO clue. Might as well be pissing into the wind quoting chapter and verse. The only rules around Haulover inlet and the ones boat drivers make up themselves ..
Love the drone footage. I feel the jet ski was more at fault. They were going horizontally across the inlet and across the flow of traffic.
Same. At first I was like they didn't even stop then replay each time I was like oh
I wonder if the ski was even seen. The swells looked pretty high. Maybe high enough to hide a jet ski?
@@omgdbwhatadb5586 PWC took a right turn w/o looking behind him. You can see his travel path wake at 00:34 . Clearly the PWC fault. The boat captain could've looked away or at his gauges for a second, then looked up & it was too late to avoid the PWC. But.. he should've stopped, turned around to see if they were okay.
@@jeffrandolf5673 thoughts and prayers for the victims...nah, fuk it! I dont really give a shite
@@dubes5594 🤙👌👍
Jetski was at fault there, crossing the channel as boats are leaving
Agreed, classic case of "look both ways before you cross the road"
PWC is definitely but not only because it's crossing the channel. PWCs are required to give way to all other vessels except for OTHER PWCs
@@chrisgreenman5350 they are a powered vessel and must obey all rules as such. So, if a standard powerboat would have been “stand-on” in a given situation, so would a PWC in that situation. That said , in the video the PWC was the “give-way” vessel to that larger powerboat, not because the PWC was a PWC, but because of the crossing situation. I will admit though, that I would not mind if we could make PWC operators think that they are required to give way to the rest of us! 😃 however, the official NavRules do not contain that requirement, so it won’t happen. 😀 BTW, I’d be happy if they just obeyed Rule #5, that ALL vessels must at all times maintain a proper lookout! Look before you leap?
@@nobskafriend not always. Some states require PWCs to remain more than 50ft from other vessels making them the give way vessel in all situations unless the other vessel is also a PWC.
The PWC operator should be charged and have his vessel confiscated and he should be banned from the water for the rest of his life and then some....
As an owner/operator of waverunners, the motto for me and mine is it’s our responsibility to stay out of the way of any boat, and never expect right of way. Main reason is that there’s no telling who knows the rules and who’s a credit card captain. Head on a swivel!
Yes, that is basically rule #2 and keep it in mind...
great motto Lisa.......the tonnage rule, those with the most tonnage have right of way when it comes to small craft
Flying a drone backwards can be nerve racking, luckily you are out in the open and you have line of sight on it. Great flying my man.
It is not an issue if you are watching the drone and setting it to track an object.
Drone shots are fantastic, overall camera work is exemplary.
Drone shots are always cool gives the viewer a differnt perspective of what's going something from the ground may look a lot different from the air drones rule
I like seeing the boats, love the drone shots, like seeing the big waves, love watching this channel.... all from the comfort of my home...... miles from any water. I don't think I would enjoy that boating experience on calm day. I grew up on a lake in the summer time..... The thought of getting out on a boat now..... No thanks, I'll just keep watching, enjoying the views from right here.... Great shots today, thank you!
Love the sound of that inboard V8. Nothing else sounds like it.
Jet ski operator at fault 100%. Look before you hook.
Do we know that's what happened? Can't see what led up to the collision in the video.
U dont have to look before u hook he came from behind
You are obviously a landlubber as you have absolutely no idea about the rules of the road. If you did you would understand that in a maritime accident, there is no such thing as being 100% anything under Rule #2. or as my instructor used to say some 23 years ago, "it is the don't do anything stupid rule." This means if you have to break a rule to avoid a collision you do so. Rule 2 (Responsibility) (a) Nothing in these Rules shall exonerate any vessel, or the owner, master or crew thereof, from the consequences of any neglect to comply with these Rules or of the neglect of any precautions which may be required by the ordinary practice of seamen, or by the special circumstances of the case. (b) In construing and complying with these Rules due regard shall be had to all dangers of navigation and collision and to any special circumstances, including the limitations of the vessels involved, which may make a departure from these Rules necessary to avoid immediate danger.
@0:33 *If you pause at 35 seconds.. the ski was at full power, the wheel was straight, and the driver was looking directly at the boat. He was going for it! (100% ski fault)*
Exactly right as I also just said. An intentional conflict by insurance scammers or bribery.
Drone shots add a nice touch. Even the folks on the boat don't get the advantage of seeing the boat from the oncoming angle. Keep up the great work.
Love the drone shots most - especially ahead quarterly looking down and aft at the boat - great shots of the swell 👍
Jet Ski is at fault. What the hell were they thinking?
They weren't thinking, like a lot of jet operators. Many are not educated about maritime rules let alone just being courteous.
They were thinking about how much they paid to rent the Jet Ski.
The Sea-Doo ran into the boat.
@Jt Lewis The boat that struck the PWC rider had another boat to his starboard. If he swerved he could have hit that boat.
@@phillipneill7315 my thoughts exactly
The jet sky was at fault. Boats have a split bow light that is red on its port side. If this was at night, then the red portion of the bow light is seen by the jet sky and acts as a traffic signal. Same works in vehicle traffic. The car on the right has the right of way. In boat traffic, the boat on the right has the right of way. However, it is also taught that if an accident can be avoided, then it should be avoided regardless of who's faulted it would have been. Experienced boaters a abide by the unwritten rule that if the boat is bigger than you, then it has the right of way due to the likelihood of bodily injury.
Excellent write-up!
Precisely. In addition, larger boats have less maneuverability and if on collision course should be yielded to no matter who may have had right of way. This is also the reason sail boats under sail are the stand on vessel vs motor boats. The oldest rule of great seamanship is to never allow yourself to get into situations that require great seamanship.
Agreed.
They would have the ROW due to RAM, Restricted Ability to Manuever per Maritime Navigation Rule 3(g).
I believe it's because it takes longer for a larger vessel to change course , therefore the smaller vessel is required to change it's course .
Your filming is epic! I admire it so much that I sit through the commercials to help. :)
Beautiful drone coverage. Wish you could share your equipment specifications!
Technically the jet ski is at fault, the blue boat was the stand on vessel in this crossing situation. That said, the boat had plenty of time and opportunity to change course or speed to avoid collision but the jet ski is still at fault. But the boat just keeps right on plowing through the pass??? Pretty sure you should stick around to make sure everyone is accounted for or not injured after a collision. One of the three best weekends to stay off the water.
waves probably prevented boater from seeing skiers......
The boat really couldn't have done very much to avoid the collision because he had another boat very close on his starboard side.
Just for your reference- The guy in the boat says in spanish “you okay? You guys okay?” After the collision with the jet ski; you’ll hear him when it switches to the drone shot
@@joshg195 spook is a derogatory term for black people, inbred fuck.

Leaving the steering console in a rough inlet? What could go wrong? lol How about standing on the starboard gunnel ?
A Midnight Express is ALWAYS the winner. Damn, that boat is gorgreous!
The camera and drone work is really outstanding on this channel.

The winner of the best boat of the year, the HUGE flag boat. Awesome guys
The V8 at the end sounded sweet. .
PWC’s duty is to give way to any and all other vessels, aside from other PWC’s. Beyond that, the boat on the right has the right of way and the boys on the PWC were haphazardly crossing the mouth of one of the busiest and speediest inlets to be found…not wise. Awesome video, Wavy…keep up the great work. It looked like one helluva fun weekend out there.
I (kind of) had the same thing happen to me July 1. Opening of crab season on Puget Sound, I had dumped a pot, moved off a ways, and dropped anchor with a crab ring over the side. Having a nice day while reading a book. I came out of my funk to find a 22 foot sport fisherman just 20 feet up wind of me (I am in a ten foot inflatable pontoon boat) and coming down fast, no crew in sight. Too late to pull anchor or trap, but I got an oar ready and pushed off of them as they slid into me. Kept them at a three foot distance. They started bellowing at me for hitting their boat with my oar and screaming I should have kept my distance from them as they were on the right side AND less maneuverable..... Stunningly ignorant. So I asked them 'Just how am I supposed to get out of your way with TWO anchors over the side? I have right of way because i am ANCHORED!". Unbelievable how stupid some people are. I watched a Carver that was around 30 feet move through the somewhat scattered crowd. Beautiful boat and the person piloting knew what they were doing. They made sure to go dead slow and told people which buoy's they were headed for. They were quite a show off the park where everyone launched their paddle boards, kayaks, rafts, and cast top boats. Glad someone knew what they were doing. They had some words for the sport fisher that came so close to me. He had identified me as not moving and passed nearly 50 feet away.. at dead slow. Nice.
Plenty of idiots in MA11. Seen multiple almost collisions and a few hits.
Yeppirs......have had similar incidents...always 38-48 year olds in 20-26 foot cc.
Technically, it appears you should be considered a “vessel fishing” and thus most power vessels and sail vessels must give way to you while you are doing so. Well, that and as you point out, pretty hard to move while anchored! Might be different if you are in a navigation channel, but it did not seem you were?
@@nobskafriend Not 150 yards from shore in 30 feet of water.... With the nearest deep water channel the entrance to Everett, Wa port over a mile away.... Nice question, though, as there are a few idiots that drop their crab traps right in the path of the ferry approach a mile away.... They damage the ferry boats every year. Nope. I was in the middle of the 'flotilla' of crabbers on the opener. People were saying they had never seen it so crowded, which was why were watching the Carver so closely. Big boat in a crowded area and handled beautifully. I don't know about the 'fishing vessel'. After taking the boater safety course to get my operator's safety card, the one that sticks for me is that an anchored boat has right of way over a maneuvering vessel that is not in a restrictive channel. Unfortunately, I had the same thing happen to me three years ago near Edmunds, and was actually struck off the Shilshoal marina in Seattle 10 years ago. All three times, I have been anchored and sounding my emergency noise makers (they are LOUD!). 99.9% of people are operating carefully. It's that .1% that are a hazard (and, usually, drunk).
Did you get an apology?
These videos are addictive and to some degree, instructive. We're looking to acquire a boat for our canal community and the ICW. We don't plan to take it to sea, we don't fish, but we do need the boat to be able to handle large wakes. Getting lots of ideas from this site. Thanks!
The best advice is to Learn your boat and what it can handle. The people in these videos that sinks, stuff the bow etc don’t know what their boat can handle and even more so are very inexperienced boaters.
If you’ve never been a boater, take a boating safety course. We used to boat in Maryland on the Chesapeake Bay. We went to a US Power Squadrons course that was great.
Thank you for the footage, great drone shots, and the ground shots as well cus it was from a diferent angle, good work 👌
The drone footage is awesome! Keep up the good work.
Midnight Express is a sweet looking boat! Le@ving the steering unattended in a rough seems stupid, but I’m guessing that captain made a calculated guess that he could do what he needed to and get back before any danger would present itself. However, if he would have got knocked out or worse when he hit the deck, then what?
He had not a clue on the trim of the motors.
@@jagserdigalltid motors were trimmed fine
Back in the day all Florida boat registrations expired on June 30th. The cops could practically make their yearly budget handing out tickets on the July 4th weekend. Vessel on the right has the right of way in a crossing but it's best to not count on the average Joe knowing this to proceed with extreme caution.
love the drone shots, love seeing the drones flying around getting the shots.
Always loved the Fountain hulls, can more than handle a rough lake.. just a beautiful shape that sets them apart
Love the channel and drone footage! Beautiful boats! How many wakeboard boats do you get through there?
A few every weekend. Lots of "sun deck bow rider" boats.
I like the drone footage too but I think he's a bit too close. I'd be annoyed to have some unidentified drone tracking my family while out boating.
@@Gyppor we rarely ever get a negative reaction. Most people who use this inlet are familiar with Wavy Boats and are excited to be filmed, in hopes of seeing themselves on KZhead.
You gotta have ballsac to take that zodiac 40 out
@@WavyBoats Fair enough! I suppose being a recluse I sometimes forget that a lot of people like to be filmed and become "famous" :)
Love the drone shots. Dude hanging on the side of that yacht was dumber than the two kids pulling out in front of the other two boats.
Loving the drone shots because you're getting right in on the action! Much appreciated. P.S. It seems like the jetski was at fault for not moving out of the trajectory path of the boat.
Drone shots are great, and clear enough to see facial expressions.
Regarding the question about stuffing at the 2:11 mark, the top of the bow didn't go below the waterline although there was a ton of spray caused by how deep the bow did go, but it didn't go under water enough to classify or designate it a stuff per se, just my 2 cents.
I don't get excited unless I see solid green water.
I have a crazy question, what is "stuffing"? Thanks
@@robbieblakley9952 When the bow is submerged , it's a stuffing.
Every time I watch (and I do a lot, now that I am not "boating" myself anymore) I'm asking myself: Is there not a speed limit in the inlet? Are there no rules for navigating the inlet? Is there no maritime weather forecast giving wind and sea forces? Though in Miami tides are not very high, I suppose consulting a tides table would help avoiding the roughest moments at high tide. And finally, instead of having 10 different maritime (but mostly invisible) authorities wouldn't it be better to improve the level of preparation before delivering the navigation license? Just asking...
You want MORE regulation to be able to use a boat just because this inlet is rough? Are people just dying like flies here or something? No. So you’re just asking for more government regulation because of a perceived danger. Freedom is not safe. Safety is not free. You need to decide which world you want to live in. There are plenty of safe countries out there. There’s only one that’s free. If you can’t handle some dangerous freedom, maybe take your votes elsewhere.
@@alphazuluz A stupid, irresponsible answer... A captain or a skipper when taking the helm are assuming the responsibility of their vessel, crew and passangers. First rule being "common sense" - of which you show a total lack, alike all the clowns appearing in these series of videos... and they are many! A pleasance boat is not a Navy battleship and the inlet is not a battlefield. In over 30 years of "boating" I saw more reciprocal respect among boat owners than you'll ever see on the road... Accidents and casualties in US waters are about 5 times more than in the Med for the same period of time... Not because there are more rules, but because people are more responsible and are respecting the existing rules. Unlike on land, at sea the regulation is practically the same all over the world. Like in the air... At sea people are carrying for each other... I wish, the day you'll be in trouble at see - we all can be! - they'll let you sink free... as that's the selfish world in which you choose to be...
Personally I think it's a great question. And I feel that there should be a speed limit in that inlet, especially considering the crowds and the strong waves in that area. And I also think that people should be more concerned about safety and being responsible while boating. Just as they should while they are in cars, on planes or trains etc. And while I do understand wanting to enjoy more freedom and not liking government over reach, people should have respect and compassion for their fellow man, and not want to risk harming themselves or others in the name of having fun. Nothing wrong with having fun, but we have to have a moral code of ethics, without such, society would completely break down! Just saying.
@@amyholley4331 And you are perfectly right! More regulation is necessary only when common sense and non respect of the existing rules are not sufficient to protect the public interest. I am definitely opposed to more administrative regulation, but in over 30 years of "boating" I didn't see many changes to maritime rules. The ones newly enforced were necessary considered the growing number of vessels, the appearance of jet skis and the rental industry allowing inexperienced people to man powerful units (even a jetski is a powerful unit against a human skull!). The idiots racing on their jetskis in the middle of swimmers near a beach should be put on trial for attempted homicide... or at least for reckless driving... and the same goes for "Sunday only" captains who take to the sea their stress of the week or their excess of testosterone.
@@alphazuluz well said!!!
The drone shots are absolutely brill! Keep em coming
Favorite yacht? I’m a simple man, therefore I’ll take the 92’ Viking Sport Fish😉
Buddy of mine had a similar situation with a jetskier crossing his bow at marine stadium. The jetskier died, my friend was considered not at fault after the investigation. Smaller vessels should always yield to larger ones because they are more maneuverable
that is all around terrible.
I'm not sure if you can consider the black boat a stuffing but the one after it sure was.
uhhh😂
The PWC was at fault. The boat was in main line at speed, he crossed into its path. The boat should have stopped immediately to check to make sur they were okay.
The drone shots are the best. Need more.
According to boating laws in most states the Jet Ski would be at fault. It is also apparent that the person driving the boat was NOT paying attention and could had easily avoided the collison.
Yeah, I mean, he could have either dodged to his right and collided with the other boat or to his left where a competent jet skier would have ended up to avoid the collision. Instead he put the throttle in neutral, properly waited for the engine to idle so he doesn't blow the transmission up and disable his boat in a dangerous inlet, and put it in reverse to stop. The driver of the boat was standing, paying full attention, and reacted pretty quickly.
@@mtnman1984 No he didn't. The captain of the blue boat would not have collided with the other boat. He only had to move a few feet. He may have been standing up, but that doesn't mean he was paying attention.
@@mikel9567 You're just completely wrong. Gobless.
The PWC was at fault. They were traveling perpendicular to the natural flow of traffic. I understand they are trying to have fun in the waves, but it is still their responsibility to operate in a safe manner.
Enjoyable !! From the pier obviously 🤠
Absolutely love the drone shots
Jetski is at fault. The boat to his right (the one he ran into) had the right of way.
But the boat should have stopped to make sure the PIW is rescued.
It's the PWC operators fault. Crossing from the left, the boat has right of way. Also, rookie move on forgetting that power is needed to steer.
You can just say jetski you know
@@alexking3153 A jet ski has people standing up. They're on a Waverunner BTW Mr Hairsplitter
I love the drones filming,just wondering how long they last with all the salt in the air ?,it must do some damage to the electronics.
I think one thing you can count on for sure. No jet skier is going to have a clue as to what the rules of the road on the water are. Most of them figure the same rules apply as when your driving around in a parking lot.
The jet ski is at fault, it looks like they don't have a clue.
Drone shots are cool. That metal shark looked very cool!
Drone shots are the best..!!!!!!!! Keep doing..!!!!!!
I'd like to add; the last operator with a chance to avoid collision bears some responsibility. The boat certainly was not proceeding with much caution in any event, and to think that right of way is an absolute can get people injured or killed. Use your damn head for something besides a hat rest
Absolutely correct! Plus the boat operator didn't even stop to render possible aid to the person in the water. Wonder what the Coast Guard would have done if they witnessed this incident? Check to see if alcohol was at all involved. Regardless of age, I think every boat owner should be required to take a boat safety education course.
Yes of course drone shots are absolutely incredible 👍
Drone shots are the best. The best I tell ya!
The Jet-ski is at fault, he was crossing while not just the Blue boat was exiting but the white/red boat was to the right of the blue. What was the Jet-Ski thinking he either wasn't paying attention, didn't time it right or worst he thought he could beat both boats to the crossing! Glad everyone is ok though.
They are both guilty! First, the guy with deck boat at haulover. And then, taking a jet ski to haulover when it’s your first time on a jet ski??
that midnight express is a beast of a boat. very jealous indeed.
The drone footage is the best. I really like it. Keep it up, gives whole new perspective. ❤wavy boats!!
I disagree with the people that say the boat was the stand-on vessel. The pwc was being overtaken; therfore, it was the stand-on vessel, but it had a duty to maintain its course until after the boat passed. Both captains had a duty to avoid collision, but the boat was careless passing so closely between two other vessels.
No
The jet ski was not being overtaken, it was crossing. In a crossing situation, the starboard vessel is the stand-on vessel and the port side vessel must give way.
@@gijoecam Look at the ski's wake. That blue boat was passing a within couple feet of the ski's starboard side. The ski only moved to the right one or two feet and was already off the throttle.
@@jawnboatfishn1136 I missed the wake the first time I watched it. After rewatching it, I agree, he was being overtaken. I'm guessing that the jet ski was cruising out, slowed, and took a hard right at the same time the yelling started. Gotta have your head on a swivel, check around and behind before changing directions. Doesn't matter if you're on a ski or a boat.
The people on the boat - "some jerks on a jet ski cut us off." The people on the jet ski - "some jerks on a boat cut us off."
Wow this new drone footage is REVOLUTIONARY
That Metal Shark is dope!
As a jet ski owner, I have to say that it does look like the jet ski is at fault. HOWEVER, that boater did nobody any favors. He clearly should have seen the potential for a collision given there was another boat to his starboard…he should have reduced throttle. Imo, he wanted to “show the cockroach jet ski” who’s boss. Proven by the fact they just kept going. Wrong attitude on the water! Also, keep in mind that jet skis do occasionally have to maneuver through rough inlets. We can’t always just press straight ahead. Bottom line, jet ski wasn’t paying attention but the boater wasn’t either, or intentionally made the close pass to prove a point.
You don’t know which direction the pwc was traveling until it came into frame going in front of the boat.
I agree that I wish he did something but he did have a boat on his starboard side that was fairly close. At least it looks that way to me. Any sudden swerve could have caused a bigger issue.
so you think the boat should have expected the pwc to cross in front of him when he had the right of way and then put his boat in danger from rough water and other traffic?thats the only problem with pwc riders too many put themselves in bad situations then want every one else to avoid them
@@randomoldguy3967 You know, I went back and watched. You’re right. That jet ski looks like it may have been crossing perpendicular to traffic (DUMB). However, I still hold that the boater should have exercised a little more caution coming through the inlet. Especially when you see a jet ski in the middle. I totally get that jet skis have a reputation (well deserved in many cases). I wish they weren’t so easy to rent or buy and operate with zero requirement for a boater safety course. I never hesitate to call them out when they are being dumb. Just try not to lump us all in the same…boat 😉. On the flip side, I also cringe when I see boaters flying through an inlet…throttle hammered down (more than necessary to stay on plane and cut through the waves). That’s equally as dumb in my book.
@@boatdave4404 agree that he shouldn’t swerve. I mentioned the other boat. His only option was to reduce throttle and slow down.
I’ve boated both sail & power boats for 25 yrs. Watching these videos it AMAZES me how the majority of power boaters CONTINUE to SLAM their boats in the inlet waves.. I would HATE to think what the majority of these drivers/captains DO NOT have a clue regarding rules on the water and boat SAFETY.. Especially, watching a majority speed through NO WAKE zones and SLAM through the inlets…. Scary Boating in Miami…. And, it appears the the captain of the boat hitting the jet ski really didn’t care, even thou the jet ski was in the wrong..
What does this have to do with a no wake zone? It's not a no wake zone.
done shots are amazing! and I love the "very loud inboard" 🤣
The Aguz…captain allowing passenger to stand outside the cabin in the gunnel. What a maroon.
Any outgoing or incoming vessel into a channel has the right of way,the jetski was crossing at a right angle which is correct but he has to yield.also the less maneuverable vessel has right of way which is usually the larger boat
3:46...never, ever leave the helm unattended while underway.
JUST LOVE THOSE MIDNIGHT EXPRESS BOATS, I BELIEVE THE HULL DESIGN IS PATENTED ! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
The drone shots are unique!!!!!!!
The boat. "You must alter your course with ample time to safely avoid a collision, even if you are the stand-on vessel." .. but the jet ski operator was playing in a high traffic area. The jet ski created the situation, the boat operator should have been in control of his vessel and altered course.
I wonder how many of these "captains " really know the rules of the road as they operate these very expensive craft.
@@peterfahey3045 Dunno, but I'm sure it's less after they visit beer can island 😂
The boat is definitely at fault
This is why I only boat on weekdays, and only in the morning.
They were transiting an inlet, while the waverunner considered it a play ground. The Coast Guard has to do something about regulations in inlets!!!!
Fun to watch content! Drone shots are awesome! :D
Loving the Drone shots!!!!
I enjoy the drone filming it almost puts us in the boat’s
Kids on the jet ski did a good job getting outta there safe.

The lady in the Carrera noticed the PFD that flew out an apparently unsecured forward hatch. She was smart to keep her grip and not attempt to grab it. I can't blame her for wanting to save it, but I commend her decision to not let go.
Love the drone footage!

Drone shots were awesome.

The little bowrider @2:22 has two .50-cal guns in the nose. Great way to deal with a crowded boat ramp area!
Always look behind you before turning!
