ANYTIME you're swimming in the ocean, lakes or rivers, ALWAYS wear snorkeling, or scuba diving flippers on your feet. You'll be surprised how fast you can swim just by barely moving your feet AND you can EASILY swim against the current even WITHOUT really using your arms to help propel you. They work GREAT. You can torpedo through the current without usually getting tired. You can position in one location in the depths and not even use your arms to stabilize yourself to keep your head above the water to rest. 👍
The real question is what kind of boat is the boat zone crew rocking?!?
Idoits swimming near shore. With idiots in Boats near shore. Where's the restrictions!😢
Sand bank. Driver needs Glasses....Needs to. BE a responsible person....
Disgraceful how so many Boats just pass by....😮
Typical day of boating…. Captain works hard, purchases a boat, trailer, truck…sets up boat, plans outing, prepairs for outing, gets up early, last minute planning, does the entire boat launch disaster,… at last gets to shine in his happy place driving the boat 10 minutes to the sand bar, then, does the beaching disaster, worries all day about the tides, kids, being ran into, running into something, enough beer, is everyone happy, …. At last time to leave, entire process in reverse, at last… 10 minutes in his happy place. Back at the dock, the launch process in reverse except it’s 10 times more difficult. At last back at home after the weekend traffic battle (of course passengers are all napping), parks the boat, unloads, washes, flush, repairs, covers the boat, cleans and packs beach toys, ( of course passengers are showering and applying sun burn ointment. At last all done, takes a shower, drinks a beer.. family “boy that sure was fun and relaxing, let’s do it agin next weekend “.
Good lord this is the truth.. luckily my wife actually helps a good bit ( does all the food packing, towels, water, stuff we need) she also ties up the boat while I back down the ramp (I never have to get out of truck). But what I see at the lake is most women or there are completely helpless like little children NOR do they even want to learn how to help more 😢
One of the greatest comments of all time 🤣
Yep, last time we took our boat out with a crowd (14 people, all relatives), I think I was the only one who didn't have a good time. They managed to clog up both toilets twice, I had to anchor the boat myself because I couldn't get anyone to understand the up/down switch on the anchor windless, and then had my sister in law crying that a nearby thunderstorm was going to catch us and sink us (we have a 42 Bertram). I told my wife, never again.
🤣🤣🤣
That is why we have a few rules already set in place. 1) $30+/person for gas, depending on what you can afford. 2) There is always a designated First Mate who is responsible for helping the Captain all day. They meet at the Captain's house in the morning and don't leave until everything is taken care of. The First Mate job shifts between adults each trip. 3) Buddy System is always employed with group check-ins on the hour. 4) Everyone under 14 is required to wear a floatation device at all times unless their parent or guardian says otherwise. 5) Nobody leaves until the boat and boating gear have been cleaned and dried inside and out. Exceptions are occasionally made as sometimes people have to leave early but repeatedly leaving early for casual reasons will get you blacklisted. Having these rules set in place before hand makes the trip a lot more communal, safer, and generally more fun.
I rescued 3 scuba divers off Pennekamp reef some years ago. We were finishing our late afternoon dive and there was one other boat moored at the site. As I motored to go around the reef, one of my folks thought they saw something in the water some distance away. I continued in a northeasterly direction and soon saw three heads bobbing in the water. By the time we got to them they were 1/2 a mile from their boat with an injured diver. They were VERY lucky they were seen.
I lost a good friend about 7-8 yrs ago. They found his boat easily enough be he wasn't discovered till 5 days later. The investigation concluded he got complacent and went diving solo. No tanks, no snorkel which is how he liked to do it. He figured he wouldn't be under long but, when he surfaced the boat was too far away from him and the tide made it impossible to make the swim even with fins. He was less than 500' off shore and the tides completely overpowered him. Respect Mother Nature.
I’m sorry
I bave done that kind of thing a few times but got away with it
@@williamcrawford805 So have I. It gets scary when you have to swim a little faster than the boat.
@@1stcommonsense: The risk isn't worth the reward. Risking a little fun in a condition where your life depends on the current carrying you away from your boat ISN'T worth it. But IF you do, make sure your boat is anchored securely and wear diving flippers to fight the current, otherwise mother nature usually always wins and you may lose the battle.
@@glenturney4750 He was wearing flippers but he wasn't anchored. Goes to show you how strong the current is.
I am amazed at how many boaters did not go and help people in distress.
People are ignorant dummies.. me and a buddy were in a rented paddle boat and they forgot the drain plug, we made it into the middle of the lake and it started to sink, we yelled and waved at passing boaters and they went right on past, then on thier way back up the lake they saw us floating on top on the paddle boat and finally came by and said of we thought you were just kidding! Who the hell yells and waves "we are sinking" as a joke?
Yeah I thought that boaters were supposed to help people in distress if they possibly could. My 1st time out on a catamaran/ under sail. The 2 of us went to the back off the catamaran to scoop something out of the water that fell off. The catamaran flipped upside down and the mast was stuck in the sand. Luckily we we near shore and another boater helped us flip the damn thing back over. God thank him. We continued to sail like we did before but never again with a catamaran. Never had an issue with a regular sailboat before that incident or after
@@Ryan-re1rs Tom Green in 2002?
The fact that two dudes jumped into the water to help out a tired out swimmer while people on the boat calmy sip their drinks and even their backs are turned tells me all I need to know about the mentality of the people in these boats...
The fact that they jumped off and over the floating matt blows my mind.
I take it that you don't live in a city. Bewilderment is a weakness.
I agree. Also, what they could have done is let out some anchor warp to reach the drifting swimmers.
People drowning, looks like her. She was calm, not flailing around yelling help. If you don't know what to look for you wouldn't know to help her.
@@elmeradams8781 That is true. People who are drowning...don't look like they're drowning.
Thank God for the Jet skiers, did their best and saved 6 guys in trouble. Well done.
I couldn't believe how many boats cruised by without offering to help. one even left a hefty wake.
@@pennywebb867 shame on those boaters.
Why were those clowns on a single paddle board even out there? Two of the clowns had on the cheap $10 life jackets, and then all 5 grown men try to hang onto a single paddle board with a shortened paddle….. while in the vicinity of an inlet. The cheap Orange life jackets were a tell tale something was going to happen… thus whoever was filming spotted the clowns and filmed them for a long time.
One jet ski was hanging around so why didn’t he pick up some of those in the water??
@@headsupwildlife they chose the hardest way possible, would've been way easier to drop of the plus ones and start ferrying them back
We saved a guys life out there three years ago. He was being swept out and had gone under twice. We started the engines and I backed down as fast as we could and got a life ring to him and pulled him on board. He was purple and couldn't speak for 20 minutes. 100's of other boaters never even noticed the guy.
Omg.. good job
thank you for what you did, amazing what can happen when you put the phone down
People never think about the current. I grew upnear cocoa Beach and have 4 decades now as a waterman. If u don't know or aren't from Florida swim parallel to shore and not straight at it. Even Michael Phelps will not out swim that current. And yell for help. It's a good idea to have your jacket on too. Especially if u aren't on the water often or not very experienced in the ocean. Its a good idea to wear 100% of the time. I generally wear my life jacket just in case. .I've seen some dumb sht that people do and I'm stunned they thought it was a good idea trying to James bond and hydroplane across a sand bar. Maybe it would have helped that u didn't have an outboard motor? And if u lifted the motor out of the water? It ended hoe u think with minor injuries and some cuts. Mostly bruised egos though. When are people going to realize movies are fake?
Didn't notice? Or saw but didn't care.
Sure ya did

Hats off to the only 2 guys that jumped in and towed the girl in having her wrap her arms around his neck swimming against current. Awesome
That white boat that was beached had mixed outboards. I never saw that before.
Shocking not a single boater rendered aid to those people trying to be rescued by the jet-skiers.
Sums up Miami. Thank God I moved away from there. So much happier in Ponte Vedra beach.
looks like several got close and asked if they could assist. while not efficient, the jet skis got the job done and nobody was in imminent danger. relax a little
Yep.. really does sum up Miami attitude sadly…
@@drgirlfriend211: Big money, selfishness, uncaring for others, only pay attention to themselves and not strangers, millenials, etc, etc?
It's the third world there now. I've had so many boat operators (not saying captains cause they aren't) that think two feet away is a safe distance when overtaking.😮 And they scream and flip you off if you protest.
Look at those jet-skis. They had to work their engines significantly to counter the current. Current can look so inconspicuous because it just flows peacefully. But when you are in it…
Yep! The undertoe can be VERY dangerous and you can't see it from above water.
1:00, first move should have been to grab a pfd for each of the troubled swimmers. C'mon people, dangerous to approach someone struggling in the water with no flotation.
A boat bumper on a very long rope or even the required throw cushion on a very long rope instead of swimming out to get them and/or both. Many times rescuers become the victims themselves.
its always the person that can barely swim themselves that tries to rescue someone
We always trail a rope with a float or PFD on it when anchored, so that if anyone gets off the swim platform and starts to lose ground, they can grab it and just pull themselves back.
Once at a lake they had a talk on what to do if someone was in trouble They said throw something that floats to them row but NEVER go to them just you. This goes for whatever body of water your in.
I thought the point of boating was to get away from people.
Who said that
The funnest days of boating I ever had was in the Bahamas, without another boat in sight.
Most people I know are into boating so they can join this big party they perceive happening out on the water.
motorboat people, thats a category in it self
My hat's off to the two jet skiers that saved the guys on the longboard.
Owned boats of various sizes for 30 plus years. This video of the crowds reminds me why I moved on to other things.
I was thinking the same thing I got my first boat at 12 years old and sold my last one at 55, the stress is just not worth the pleasure.
Go back to boats, and keep well away from those idiots which I do (That is till we have to rescue them), don't let idiots make you move away from the things you might enjoy, other wise we wouldn't be able to do anything, because other things you move on to will have their share of idiots as well!
That dude in the rainbow speed boat with his whole family is gonna have a blast gettin that thing unbeached haha
2:38 - The boats has 300 - 400 - 300 motors? How does it work?
If anyone doesn't know this, it might save your life one day. If you EVER are caught in a rip (strong currents) and are being pulled out to sea do not swim against the current, instead focus on keeping yourself afloat and let yourself be pulled out until you escape the currents, this way you have a much better chance at making the swim to shore or a boat instead of tiring yourself out trying to fight the currents.
Thank God I knew this when I got caught in a RIP current as it saved my life. Happened to me just off a jet and close to shore. I had flippers and mask but didn't matter. Once I knew the RIP current had me I just turned over on my back and let it float me out, you can fight it. Once it let me go I was really far out the shoreline but then swam back in. Had to climb over the rocks on the other side of the jet which was the roughest part of everything. Thanks previous post for mentioning rip currents. It was important and will save your life
I think it may have been easier for the dudes on the jetski to just drop off their passengers and come back and pick up the stranded dudes. it would have been a couple of trips but would have been a lot quicker and safer.
Man those 5 people around that board had drifted way out there. Lucky someone saw them and offered a tow. A lot of these boats will just not care.
This is serious folks. If you swim off a boat, always have a line out for the swimmers to hold and pull back in. Currents and boat drift can be deadly. I swim off a sailboat frequently. Access to a line is the key to safety. Currents will pull you. Boats are not stationary.
Looks like a nice Bull Shark sweep zone.
"What happens when a boat runs aground?" You get every grandpa on the beach to pull, while the girls cheer lead!
Wow, did not know Miami has such bad weather. Never saw so many hail damaged rumps before....
@@halomaster9640 Well, not always. I have seen some older women with beautiful skin who are far past the age of 19. Also noticed sometimes the onset of Hail Damage, just like Beer Guts occurs simultaneously with the act of marriage. 😂
@@rvasquez8057, older? Far past 19? What would that be, 24?
@@jasomkovac9115 At least....
A common mistake when a boat runs aground is people try to pull it straight. You actually want to pull from an angle doesn't have to be a sharp angle just a slight angle at the start. All that does is breaks the surface tension between the sand and the boat and gets everything moving so when you start going it just keeps going. Sometimes if you pull straight into where the boat was grounded it creates a suction effect. Probably why they were pulling so hard in the beginning with no gain and then slowly it started to move.
I see what you mean but the suction effect generally doesn't occur in 'free' water surroundings. It's a symptom of the prop pulling the water away from under the boat. About the surface tension: I'm not sure if that's the main factor. It's also a lot about tilting the boat so you don't have the V of the hull pushing into the ground. The slight angle has a big effect on thr drought of a V hull boat. The reason it was easy after the boat got moving is because they 1) overcame mass inertia and 2) the boat actually got some water under the keel and started floating again. :)
what a chit show! couldn't pay me enough to hang out there!
I've lived in Florida all my life and you learn to have a healthy respect for all inlets they are no joke and they are no place to swim
Have not seen a triple powered outboard boat with one of the engines being of different horsepower, the center engine on the Chris Craft is a 400hp, while the other 2 are 300 hp.
Are those adapted? I think that boat had inboard engines originally
I would say the center one does all the work and the side ones are just waisting gas.
probably different pitch props for same thrust or they just lost the cover and got used cover from a 400.
@@BoatZone I believe so also. I saw an old 1980s Offshore Formula that had twin big blocks originally get re-powered with triple outboards. Unless you want really big power, outboards are the way to go now.
With the price of engines nowadays you get what you can afford I suppose
Need to change the name of this place to " GOOGANS ISLAND "
Second this - what irresponsible drunks. The dude in the scorpion boat would have shredded the poor guy swimming.
🤣🤣🤣
Heh funny thing is there is a island named that here in maine.. only a cpl miles away
The most concerning thing I see in all these videos is that not a single person knows how to correctly wear a life vest.. 🤯
We don't wear life vests in Florida. The law only requires kids 13 and younger to be wearing one. What country are you from? Do they make you wear life vests at all times?
I prefer this kind of video, not out of morbid curiosity, but out of interest in reality.
Don’t forget to subscribe…more coming 👍🏻
Every so often, I think about getting a boat, maybe a simple 50-footer. Then channels like Alfred Montaner and Boat Zone send me subscription notifications and I watch one or two videos and they scare me away from boats for the one millionth time...
AND down here and in SOUTH FLORIDA, it is disgusting how this is done, what am I talking about, the BOAT RAMPS, either they are not well maintained, or there are none! from homestead to keywest there are NO BOST RAMPS to speak of, and any decent ones are owned privately! There is no reason why BOAT RAMPS need to be slippery, in this day and age, no can figure out how to make them non-slippery? COME ON, we can place a man in the moon, but we cannot create a SAFE BOAT RAMP! It always gets me, THEY hook up boat, then cannot pull them out of the water, either under powered, or wheels are slipping and sliding.......WOW! [ya ya I know, being under powered is not the fault of the RAMP! there i said it.]
Oh yes the beautiful people sitting in there buddies high dollar toy boats looking cool. Oh please give me a break 😂
Great information to help any boater stay alive on any Sand Bar near an inlet! Alcohol can be deadly out there too…
👍🏻 thx for watching
I dated a girl that had been thrown from a boat when the operator was doing donuts and hit his own wake. The spinning prop hit her between her temple and ear which left a zig zag scar she was very self conscious about. She's unbelievably lucky to be alive and not hit in the face or neck. I can't wrap my head around how terrifying that had to have been. I've been thrown from boats that ran aground one time and from hitting a dock at speed another. I love the ocean but I'm done with boats.
I have a 14 footer with a 40hp Merc. I towed a jetski from one end of our lake to other (4 miles). IT TOOK HOURS!!
This is a really fun Video.. Thank U
Our pleasure!
Some people just need to stay off the water...period!
Not sure if we needed the entire 12 minutes of slowly towing a family on a surfboard to get the gist
I just don't understand the logic. Pay BIG $$$$$$$$ for a boat and then beach it and sit there all day.???????????? Why buy the damn boat??
The gas is too damn high! Better turn off these engines for a while, speaking by myself too lol
$5.50 a gallon gas and 1 mpg!
18:14 looks like a set from "Waterworld" 19:04 You'll notice that raccoons walk just like bears: both legs on one side move at the same time. 19:49 The grocery boat that I ran at Memphis carrying groceries, supplies & crew members to passing riverboats looked a lot like that boat. Shoebox shaped steel hull was definitely not built for running fast. The water pump on the rescue boat can turn it around if aimed to the side.
Great video!
I will stay on dry ground. Thanks from St. Paul Minnesota.
Cool of those guys with jet skis, to help the stranded swimmers with their board
I think the drone makes a lot of difference with different kind of positions very awesome 👍😎 great video God bless
Just came across your channel, love the informative comments! Having watched other boating videos and being on the water for 40 years I am shocked at the lack of understanding and respect new boat owners have for what a boat can and can not do. Even worse the lack of safety for their crew and others. As it relates to life jackets on children, most don't think its a requirement but when they do they put an adult life jacket on them. The reality is as an experience captain you need to watch out more and more for idiots than ever. Boats are not cars, if it breaks down you just can't pull over to the curb, there are no road signs or lines and in bad weather you better know what to do!
Many many of the issues leading up to such simple accidents can be attributed to (according to one KZheadr's interesting words) new "credit card captains." They just take out an easy loan for a shiny new boat and hit the water immediately. Most of them think "This is NOTHING! A baby can do this!" And lo and behold, they can't even back the trailer into the loading dock! Have seen plenty of videos on Alfred Montaner's channel where people are so bad at getting boats into the water that they forget tiny things such as um, setting the truck's parking brake. And there goes the $35,000 pickup - straight into the water. We really needs to force people to take a 2 hour class on boating basics and pass a written exam that should take no longer than 20-30 minutes.
@@largol33t1 you guys don't need to pass a written and practical exam to drive a boat?
@@largol33t1: "2 hours"? No, make it an 8 HOUR (MINIMUM) safety AND HANDLING course. They should ALSO learn the boating rules and laws, watch videos of boating accidents and deaths from other beginner 'know-it-alls' who think they have what it takes to operate a craft capable of killing other boaters, skiers, swimmers and divers. Let them see what the dead bodies look like and learn what the consequences are for those who HAVE killed others by accident.
I was working on the river at Memphis & a young woman was run over by the ski boat & her arm was cut off. We got her on my towboat, wrapped up as best we could,even recovering her arm & ran her to the marina where a helicopter ambulance was waiting for her. Somebody stole the cooler that her severed body part was in but was soon caught & charged with arm robbery.
Was he the one armed bandit ?
it's good that those jet skis were trying to help, because no one else was, but they chose what could've possible been the hardest way to do it
Yeah what they should have done was attached some line to the inflatable paddle board and given a good gap distance between the jet and the people in the water so that they weren't getting thrashed
Ok referring to the thumb nail picture… kudos to the man in the water with the sunglasses on great positioning brother!👍😄
I was always told that nobody on the bow when the boat was underway, and that went for bowriders too. Don’t know if it’s an actual rule or just the people I grew up with just being safe.
That’s a good rule and common sense. Unfortunately common sense is not so common anymore
That's a safe general rule to follow, but of course it really depends on the size of the boat and the speed you're moving and the choppiness of the water. Sometimes there's isn't enough seating in the back for everyone. If the water is relatively flat, there's not really much danger.
What's up with the beached cabin cruiser with 3 outboards, it had 2 300's and 1 400hp, is that a thing?
I am shocked and amazed nobody - NOBODY - has a PFD or throwable cushion or life ring. How can it be no one realizes people struggling to stay afloat can really, really use a flotation device?
We don't wear life jackets in Florida. Only kids 13 and younger are required to wear a life jacket while on a boat... but all boats ARE required to have a throwable PFD on board as well as a life jacket for every person on board (but 14 and older do not have to actually be wearing them). Outside the boat, there is no requirement.
Best thing to do usually when your boat runs around and is Stuck on the bar or in the mud it might take a while but wait for the tide to lift you up
Unless you beach it at high tide LOL.
Gread video. Can you make a soecial episode about your filming gear?
It's incredible the number of people who pilot their boats in a stupid and irresponsible way, putting not only passengers but everyone around them at risk. Likewise, it is also frightening to see that bathers and jet ski pilots ignore other larger vessels as if it were possible to brake and dodge them easily.
No wonder so many deaths Drunks ,no life jackets , no idea on boating safety at all , the list keeps going on and on !
I knew of the short bus but I didn't know there's also a short BOAT.
I saw Darwin circling in the water looking for his next victim.
What is that random song clip I keep hearing in the background?
So many terrible boaters out there!!! I cant believe how long that jet ski struggled to get those guys in! Cheers to them. And screw everyone else that didn't help. That's not how its supposed to work on the water.
All those terrible boaters jump behind the steering wheel of their cars and act the same way. You can’t fix stupid.
As a “lifeguard”, going in the water to assist/rescue someone, should be absolute last resort…
Nice that the girl in the kayak thought to bring glass bottles on the water😡
If you get tired when swimming: SWIM ON YOUR BACK
The best way for any one that goes on or in the water is educate themselves and those with them a safety talk/chat is easer then a eulogy at a church or tell the family
Wouldn't it be handy if they had something like a boat to get those two girls. 😲 Edit, it got worse. When two people need help you don't just rescue one and stop.
I love being on the water, i love boating, but i have no time or desire for crowds or nonsense.
I go out of Hillsboro Inlet and Lake BOCA frequently but my other boaters tell me to avoid Hallover inlet 😎
How do they get the water to the rescue boat? I didn't think they made hoses that long.
After watching a few of your videos it doesn't Suprise me there would be "accident's" at Haulover with the way people fly in and out of that inlet.
That's why I only boat in the middle of the week.
It's interesting to see that most people on the Regal are taking no notice of the ladies in difficulty in the warer.
Four dudes on a paddle board . Looks like a lot of fun 🤣
Good afternoon my fellow boaters hope you are all doing well
Good afternoon Corey!
It’s nice to see people enjoying themselves at the beach. I don’t think that I saw one person on their cell phones
Do boats like SUP boards not require a throw line?
How do you avoid grounding on a sandbar? 1. Consult your chart of the area. 2. Know what the draft is on your vessel. 3. Stop drinking, it's costing you a fortune in repairs.
Very nice place 👌
Why the natives avoid Haulover and Beercan Island like the plague.
Just love how those guys jumped in with flotation devices to help keep those gals and themsevles afloat while rescuing those gals! OH WAIT....
This is why I stick with going to the nearby nude beach.
Had an great weekend got the boat out, went to the beach and parked it along with dozens more. It was just like a tail gate party at the game.
Makes sense, less They like to eat BBQ while looking at Females an Males that should not be in g-strings.
A lot of these stranded boats look like they were either anchored too close to the beach, or in shallow water over a sand bar, during a falling tide, rather than being _powered_ onto the sand.
It's best to bring the floatation device with you so you all don't drown together...btw!
It is good for the economy that these people spend their dough on having what they consider to be a good time.
Tie a bumper to a line and it trails down current as a helper.
The chasm between boating experience and new owners just winging it blindly is reprehensible. And the stupidity rate appears to climb daily. Such a shame. Paradise nearly lost.
WOW, and that comment reminds me of a boating accident by some very stupid youngsters! what did they do may you ask, well, it was this. TAKE a high powered boat, give it to youngsters, and add a sea wall, add alot of speed, add trying to make a turn when you didn't allow enough room, WHAT YA GOT! alot of fiber glass splinters, and dead humans, and alot of blood! That is one that I will never forget, it was terrible!
Spent years boating on South Shore of Long Island never anchor and jump off your boat if there is a outgoing tide you will be swept away if you don’t anchor the boat it will drift with you. Also make sure you have a swim ladder to get back on your boat you will not be able to pull yourself up. Learn the tide swings if you are anchoring near a island is it incoming tide or out going place boat anchor accordingly
Fire Rescue training should include target practice on raccoons!
So me being and avid boater in Australia, and seeing all of this from this channel. The biggest problem to me is that there is no real regulation and accountability etc for boaters. They seem to hammer thru the area that should be less than 4 knots etc. Why are there so many derelict and stupid boaters in Florida? I mean this would NEVER happen in Australia.....
Florida is a special state for a lot of stupidity in general.
It’s not Florida, it’s Miami.
Definitely looks like a ton of boaters and swimmers with novice experience.
Ништяк 😊
I could think of a hundred better ways to spend my days and money.
2 jet ski people should just go drop their buddies on the beach then go pick the stranded people 2 at a time on the skis and bring them to the beach, a hell of a lot faster than that dumb plan of towing.
Are there no cleats on a Sea Doo? And yea, one hangs with them, other drops off the passenger etc…Towing while holding onto the rope is somewhat optimistic.
People underestimate currents, they’re much more powerful than most think
People love to bad mouth Jet Skiers, Personal Watercraft operators for being loud, reckless....but when someone on the water in need...who are always the first there...respect to all on the water, that actually pay attn. to everything going on around them...ps., I live on an island that an international sailing destination and fishing port...I see ppl on the water, watch out for each other
If the first people only had some type of big floating device, they could have let out to the swimmers.
I have never seen anything like 2:24... OMG!!!
