Because We Don't Have Lakes Haulover Inlet Boats
Haulover Inlet is a man-made channel in Miami-Dade County, Florida. It connects the northern end of Biscayne Bay with the Atlantic Ocean. The inlet was cut in 1925 through a narrow point in the sand between the cities of Bal Harbour and Sunny Isles.
The inlet entrance channel is 400 feet wide and 14 feet deep. It's dangerous to navigate because it features:
Sandbars
Rock walls
Strong tide currents
Gusty onshore winds
There is no speed limit at Haulover Inlet.

That old guy on the Montauk,is living his best life 🎉🎉
Red top legend looking dapper as always.
Red Top is not close to “legend” status. The twins, Sofia and Ariana, still have that. Don’t see very much of Ariana these days.
Know this about pontoon boats. You can not sink them nor can you swamp them. Worst case is you'll get wet and/or lose some fencing but you're not going down.
No boat sink cookies birder unsikibal boats
That’s what they said about the Titanic…
No boat is unsinkable my friend. Have a good one. 👍
I seen one split into two pieces right down the center about 15yrs ago. They were from Okeechobee and tried going out the Sebastian inlet on a ripping outgoing tide with a NE wind blowing against the tide. Idiots found out quickly about FAFO!
Only problem with taking a pontoon boat through waves like this is the stress on the supporting C channels between the tubes and the deck. They get bent from hard impact and result in the decking screws breaking..which allows water to come up through the deck.
Love to see the sweet boats and some goofball skippers at Haulover! On minor correction: The Four Winns factory is in Cadillac MI, not IN. Thanks for the sun & fun video!
I live in Michigan. And when the big lakes get whitecaps, we’re very reluctant to go out on them. So I absolutely cannot understand why these people are heading out into an ocean that has whitecaps on it. What kind of enjoyment can you get out of bouncing around risking capsizing. I just don’t get it!
Open bow boats + outgoing tide = Call the Coast Guard.
We don't have lakes but imma buy a boat built for lakes anyways
Open bow, open cockpit, Puget sound okay. Haulover inlet you crazy.
Fun stuff!
Dude in that poontoon was just showing off his skills.
Great video as always. Minor correction, the Boston Whaler factory is in Edgewater FL, not Largo.
Thanks for the info! We’ll correct for the next ones. Thanks for watching!
Wrong new. Fatorey. Second play Florida key large. Around k Kokomo island
lovin that Regal at 3:00 .. recorded 2.61K today
8:10 California boat.
I thought there was a website that showed the conditions of the waves, so people could plan ahead.
In Miami, planning ahead seems to involve packing enough booze and Gold diggers for the trip.
Yeah, there’s always NOAA on marine radios but who uses them anymore?
If you hug the nort jetty you avoid those swells we use to water ski thru haulover
Do skippers not know how to trim a boat?
Many do not!
My exact thoughts…get that bow up 🧐
Four Winns made in Cadillac Michigan, not Indiana.
Half of these people have no clue what they are doing!
Half? That's great! I thought it was two-thirds 😂
somebody knows the specific type of the boat at 5:35?
Chaparral 264 Sunesta Surf/ 26'
Can someone explain to me where these people are going?
The Atlantic Ocean
Pontoon boats are like tools. Just because you could use it for something else doesn't mean you should.
I don't get why people take lake or bay boats out rough inlets, and most do not know what they are doing. Also, no life hackets on most boats, even the kids . 95% of people will be Exhausted and panic in under two minutes overboard
boston whalers are bullet proof!!!!!! the small ones always dominate
Pontoons and bow riders don't belong in those conditions! And all kids should wear life jackets !
I've never launched at any of these treacherous inlets but it seems like the authorities would come up with some type of warning system to alert, or even prevent boaters from attempting to leave the inlet in extreme conditions, especially one of those Hurricane boats with a family of 9 aboard or obvious rookie captains, at least tell them no one allowed on the bow until the boat clears the inlet. Everyone's just standing on the jetty with their cameras waiting for the inevitable disaster to unfold, waverunners standing by knowing what's about to happen
People actually pay money for one of those? You would be laughed off the boat ramp in my country.
You mean the pontoon boat? I'm not American, but I assumed they are rented for the day. And for enclosed water use.
Why do people there waste their money on little boats? Where are they going when they leave the outlet??
Fantastic question! Why would anyone want to get in a boat that they get soaked while riding in? The idea of a boat is to stay DRY while out on the water.
My question as well. Why would you take a pontoon lake putterer out into the Atlantic Ocean?
They're hoping for smaller waves, the inlet isn't always that choppy. People don't film the calm days.
I thought you were being a snob until I got to 11:33 😂😂😂
Why does the coast guard even allow pontoon boats there ???? Some vessels are not designed for this and should be barred from use in certain waters
You can usually tell if a captain{read: boat driver} is an idiot if they are in an overloaded pontoon or hurricane. trying to take one through haulover confirms it.
Pontoons: the mini-vans of water bourne craft. Both equally useless.
LOL. you're wrong, but it's still kind of funny. Pontoons are awesome in the right situations. Haulover is not that situation.
My minivan hauls more people and gets better mileage than what you probable drive.
Everybody hates on the minivans until you own one...
