So far, this has been one of the worst days we’ve seen at Haulover Inlet in 2022 (Nerve-Wracking) You will love this video!
Wow BZ team you guys are definitely the best! So sad you can’t fix stupid with all these boat drivers showing off maritime ignorance and negligence with speed and thinking they can beat tough and rough waves while endangering passengers with their lack of boating skills…and yes the driver is FULLY responsible for the damages their passengers suffer when displaying this sort of stupidity!
It was wild yesterday. Thanks for catching our Baja! We got rocked but she took it like a pro
@DAMNED SHARP KNIVES she handled it!
What causes this area to be so rough?
@DAMNED SHARP KNIVES Ahh, ok. Makes sense now. I know about tides - I live in Vancouver, BC, Canada which is on the Pacific Ocean. I'm not familiar with the location of these videos and didn't realize it was actually a river coming out of there. I can never get over how rarely you see someone wearing a life jacket there. Not even the kids most of the time. I'm a strong swimmer but no way would I pass through that without one on. All it takes is a second to get sucked under if you're thrown overboard. Crazy people owning boats there! Thanks for the explanation, btw!
Sea Hunt guy handles his boat like a boss!
As an orthopedic spine surgeon…I absolutely love watching this footage.
Hats off to the guy at 25:00 in the little Sea Hunt.he manovered his way through with out getting tossed around.Handeled it like a pro.
He got beat to shit on the way out tho at 8:00 lol
Boat name checks out
@@brandonturner383 Never stuffed it though 😎
8:02 I thought that was rhino liner on the hull. Then I saw 25:12 and realized the hull was just dirty.
@@brandonturner383he might’ve got beat to shit but I don’t think he took on a drop of water other than spray
That Miami Dade fire rescue boat is an absolute tank.
When I was ten I got my first boat. When I was 14 I drove it into the mangroves at 35 MPH. That's when I took up sailing. I never had a boat with an engine ever again for the next 45 years.
Trying to spot a lifejacket in the video is like trying to find Waldo.
As a drone guy, I have to compliment both your editing skills and the pilot themselves. The aerial view gives a MUCH better idea of the wave frequency and height looking at it from above. Your videos have used this new media to great effect. Bravo!
Wow, thanks!
@@BoatZone yes and its a huge risk too, if it goes down......... well its going deep! LOL
But what kind of drone are they using that's what I want to know
@@ToddtheLoneDroner I'm betting a DJI. Further, I'm thinking it's like a Mavic because it can handle it a pretty good wind. Any of that line. Perhaps a Phantom 4 Pro, that's another solid video bird as well.
@@BoatZone I'm another broadcast video pro and was impressed by both the drone operation but also how stable it is in the wind. So spill it! Which whose drone are you using? :)
I love it load the front of an open bow boat with a bunch of people and then head directly into waves
Orthopedic spine surgeons have got to be very busy in the Miami area.
My favorite thing about these videos is being able to instantly tell whos got sealegs and whos got a deep pocket🤣🤣
31' Contender twin 250's @ 11:12 & 17:50 . Me and my girls on a really rough day at Houlovers inlet. Love your videos.
Call me jealous, because I am. There’s something satisfying about seeing the richer types getting soaked 😂 quality film 🎥 thanxx 😂 👍
I guess that makes two of us!
Me too fuckin love it
All the money (or financing in 99% of these cases) does not buy one lick of sense.
I love it too! Even better when they fuck up their boats showing off 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Well said!
12:54 probably one of the smartest driver I've seen on this channel so far
24:53 This captain and his boat have seen some stuff. Well done sir
That was impressive!
That's how you do it. Pay attention to the waves, steer and control your throttle, ride the waves... Pretty amazing to see that most people don't seem to get this and just try to plow through. 🤦
Green cop boat at 24:00 killed it the best. Perhaps everyone needs to get a green cop boat. Props to the small Sea Hunt that followed, that guy knows what he is doing. He has to or he's going down 😆
Great sumptouous takes! I am amazed nobody wear safety vests.
Magnum 50 breaking through the waves very good, you can feel the weight that gives the comfort
For everyone watching... When there is heavy chop with onshore sets, you don't have to run out at 40 mph.
You know you're in for it when the drone pops up in front of you!🤣🤣🤣😝
That Magnum 50 was the finest looking boat I've seen to date.
It amazes me how many captains allow their passengers to ride on the bow.
Drone shots are breathtaking!
Glad you like them!
Yes!! Stuffing from the drone POV. Best video ever.
More to come!
It’s absolutely baffling to see the drivers just not changing anything. Trim the bow up. Get it up on plane, ride the crest. And half these boats should have stayed on the lake 😂😂
You can't ride the crest when the waves are coming head-on against you.
We’re here in the bloody desert southwest, the heat and lack of bodies of water makes this almost dreamlike. My buddy retired and is a tourist boat captain at the U.S. Virgin Islands, he too has some experience in large waves and knowing when to not challenge Mother Nature or fate. TS/T/D, Hurricanes and electrical storms, strong winds /Gales etc…
Epic Haulover! Over all everyone did pretty well, even the decisions to turn around were good. My favorites are the big yachts plowing through the breakers and large rollers.
These people must have strong stomachs to ride these waves in boats like that not for people who get seasick
Same here. I love seeing the big ones smashing the waves. But its funny how these boats that look massive at the dock still get banged around just like the little ones. But then I have been on massive cruise ships that were thrown around and tilted on their side so no vessel is ever really big enough to handle everything. If I could custom order a video it would be a series of power cat yachts 40'-70' taking on the waves. My dreamboat is the Aquilla 54 Powercat but I have never seen it in rough seas. Its almost like watching a crash test of a new car before you decide to buy one.
The litle inflate was the best lol
The power of nature, the strength of fiberglass.
1:01 My goodness, is this a painting? Unreal colors! I've never been to Florida and I watch these videos and generally drool over the beauty, but this shot is UNREAL.
You're killing it ! The drone footage is unbelievable. Great work.
Thx
I like watching these videos because the rough water kills any dreams I have of owning a boat.
Love watching these cowboys. Not a floatation device in sight. Brilliant.
Everyone that ever gets a Ticket while on the water should always have to watch an additional 10 hours of these videos over and above any fines imposed. Great training for Captains of ALL ages and genders!
You’re one of those gender affirming people huh?… you might as well have said and people of different hair colors, height, ear lobe length, eye color, food taste preferences, movie choices, level of constipation they experience while pooping, and etc..
im a transgender witch and i just cursed you@@migmigmigmig3776
I cannot believe what i am seeing no one is wearing a LIFE JACKET
It's a game of who's gonna be the first pussy to put one on.
Lmao 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣
People will probably get funny about you saying that, but I agree. Imagine you bash your head then fall in!!!
Stacks of cash in their pocket keeps them afloat..
Merica.....
I can’t get over the quality of the drone footage. So sharp and rich. 👍🏻
That WaterDream was juicy!
Wow. What a day! No surprise to me that the sheer size of the HCB gave it the win both directions. The Streamline was great, and the Invincible was top notch as well.
Indeed
Either my life completely sucks and I watch hours of this shit for nothing..... or this stuff is incredibly relaxing and addictive. Haven't figured it out yet but keep making these things and I'll sadly keep watching them. Lol. Great video this upload!!!
What an honor for us to have you
I watched a lot of these right after covid hit & everyone was locked down. They're very relaxing like ASMR. But it just makes me want a boat even more.
@@CarieSaad totally agree with you on the ASMR thing!! Love the fact BZ doesn't play annoying music. I do own a boat. Nothing like the sound of hearing your boat hull hit waves. You hear it plain as day in BZ's videos. Fell screen on my 32" curved monitor with headphones.... feels like I'm there. Add a good buzz and it's even better. Haha. Cheers y'all!
@@CarieSaad these videos make me NOT want a boat! 😉
@@jannywanny2201 But big oil companies need to sell that gas! Boats use soooo much of it.
I will agree with other comments the drone shots are killer...really puts everything into perspective!
The instinct to head out to the ocean is very strong in Miami.
Not so bad once you get out the inlet
You would think 99% of Miamians floating on a raft made of few old mattresses surrounded by not enough leaky plastic barrels after 6 days to hopefully land on a beach in Miami would think twice about leaving an inlet that leads to a 5 knot northern current into a notorious liquid triangle that thousands of people have disappeared from with no land for thousands of miles. I would do it with little thought but a lot of preparation.
Those people in Bayliners and Tahoe's... da fuq are you thinking?.. planning on making an artificial reef at Haulover?
One of the best boat videos I've seen. The green water reminds me of St. Patrick's day
Thx
Congratulations for the drone perspective. Thanks!
Lacking trim for these conditions the nose goes into the oncoming sea. If trimmed properly the bow stays up and the stern goes up and down the waves .
White Cap days always seem like a fun smart day to go out boating.
Have to say this is the best so far. You have seemed to have got the noises and also the best of the best drone footage. Loving the drone footage keep it up. 💯
Thanks 👍
The Haulover u-turn, this inlet has ended more days early than mechanical failures ever could.
The Waterdeam has such sweet classic motor yacht lines. Absolutely love it 😍
As always, extremely enjoyable to watch. I must say, the ‘Waterdream 52’ for being such a large day yacht, does not do well with dispersing larger waves; just a huge soaking for all passengers.
That boat is the result of styling, not marine architecture. The nearly vertical stem and little or no bow flare harkens to the age of dreadnoughts and looks kind of cool, but the hull shape was originally intended for displacement hulls, not planing hulls. That hull form is totally disproven by the likes of nearly any NC Outer Banks design. Just a fad.
@@jbj27406 The tumble home bow on the Axopar planing hulls do really well. But this design here was for looking pretty.
@@Eluderatnight I had to go look at the Axopar boats to see what you were talking about. They seem to plane with so much bow out of the water that the bow doesn't really seem to play a role unless you're running at displacement speeds. I've never heard the term "tumble home" used to describe a bow shape and I'm not sure it applies here. Tumble home refers to the shape of a stern or transom whose vertical lines turn back toward the center of the boat--that is, they tumble home. I'm not sure that can apply to a bow unless it is a sort of pram-type bow. The Axopar boats do seem to incorporate that to some extent, but there's not enough width to the transverse vertical section of the bow to allow true tumble home. In any case, all the pics I could find of Axopar's were planed off in relatively quiet waters, not working through seas of any size. I suspect relatively calm waters are their natural domain. There's so much bow out of the water that the water strikes the boat bottom far aft of the "stem" you might say. The run kind of like a canoe that's got enough power to plane. So the bow and any lack of bow flare (reverse tumble home?) seems kind of like a moot point. But back to the dreadnought style of the Waterdream, the bow does break the water since even on plane some of the hard stem/forefoot and vertical bow are in the water practically at all times. Without even a hint of bow flare, it's inevitable that the boat will have a wet ride. They do have a unique, if not pretty, shape and I guess that appeals to some people. But of all the boats that stay dockside during "Bertram weather", I'd say the Waterdream would be one of the first. Thanks for the commentary. Take a look at this: kzhead.info/sun/eqqidpGua4VmpZE/bejne.html
And such a beautiful boat too!
Not exactly built for haulover, it’s more about flat water cruising and handjobs.
Where is this please! Brings back memories of years past in a 24' Christ Craft Off Shore Center Console. Single Inboard Engine what a beautiful boat with a beautiful sound of the Chevrolet V-8.
Wow. That is really rough!! Even the bigger boats are taking a pounding. Glad I’m just watching. Thanks. 🥳
Out of curiosity, why isn’t there a break wall out in deeper water at this inlet? Here on the West coast, every harbor has them. If they didn’t, every one would look like this.
The amount of eple facing the waves with the motor fully tucked in just amazes me.. Basic skills!
I love how the felicity hit one wave and said NOPE
You can definitely tell the experienced from the inexperienced coming through this inlet !!!
What a crazy rough inlet. It’s a marvel of nature how an inlet can be so rough on such beautiful days without a storm in sight! I’m in Virginia Beach and for Rudee inlet or Oregon Inlet down in the Outer Banks to get this rough it takes a storm
It's man made. Big surge of water exiting the cut with changing tides.
That black convertible boat, Sucked at flaring water away! No Carolina Flair and haul had no shims to break water lol. Excellent Drone videography catching that yacht going through the channel with 10 or people on the bow.. 🏁
Beautiful ❤️ I'm remember how the Longport Inlet dividing Ocean City N.J. and Longport N.J. inlet could be so rough going out further in the ocean for BLUE FISH trolling with the outriggers. So much fun miss those days with my father back in the 1980's. Love those center console boats. 🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟
As a land-locked mid-westerner, I am surprised at how many folks go without life preservers.
They are the same people who refused to wear a musk. They're special.
I wear my mask AND a life preserver at the beach! You never know when a tsunami might hit!
Shark fishermen want all speed restrictions removed.
Don't they know there's sharks!?
I scrolled for this comment. I thought I was just a land lover being silly.
When you see the drone shots and learn the edges of the channel can be quite smooth, then it is quite a surprise to learn that most of these folks are doing these wave runs for fun and not necessarily just to get out of the channel.
I just think they don’t know any better. 🙁
Some sizable rocks have fallen into the inlet. It’d be a nightmare to hit one of them, or loose power and drift into them or the rock face
Tanks for opportunity and to see this monster boat from Tuscany😍
Here in the Mid-Atlantic we have a deli chain named Capriotti’s. Started in DE. Their most famous is fresh roasted turkey, gravy, cranberry sauce and STUFFING!
This is more fun watching then being on the water when waves are this angry lol. When you are the one getting bounced around it’s not really all that exciting as one wrong move and it can turn very bad.
Loved the speedracer MTI boat. I don't get sea sick, but a ride in the smaller boats here would do it!!
You and me both!
yeah that was really cool.
Yes the nose is just like the car. There's never been a more perfect theme, paint scheme for that boat.
I haven’t watched your channel for a bit, the drone is a great addition to the channel.
90% of them don't know what moon phase, tide phase, and wind direction mean. Great video though!
That Contender with the seafoam colors was on the Florida sportsman channel project dreamboat. nice to see it in action!
I love the hull form of the fire rescue boat, easily twice as capable in heavy seas from how that looked.
Also skippered by a professional rather than cashed-up tossers ;)
24:05
When people ask me about my years on a crab boat in Alaska, I explain that there's one element that TV shows can't capture, one thing that spectators can't appreciate. Boats are constantly in motion, constantly moving... Side-to-side, and up-and-down, especially when moving perpendicular to the swell (aka 'bucking the trough'). It's an all-out assault on the human body that has to be experienced or you can't understand it... But it is something the people in these boats are all too familiar with.
Man that cigarette ate it up!
You rarely see Magnum boats any more. The 50 beast is an amazing yacht.
That boat, as old as it is, is still one of the best handing boats on this video. Not by accident....superb hull design
It’s crazy how fast some of those smaller boats are hitting those waves. And that huge boat should not have allowed people up front while going through those. Great drone video, that’s bad ass to see from above.
Thanks
I am amazed at how many people are loaded into the front of these boats, like they haven't ever seen Haulover before?? These can't all be new boaters? Can they?
@@JeffJackson86 every single time.
Spot on comment, nobody should have been on that foredeck. At all. And the stupidity of the - skipper ? - for allowing it with not a life jacket in sight just beggars belief.
Time 28:09 The Ritz-Carlton Bal Harbour and to the right Haulover Park with a great view of Collins Ave state road A1A
The second boat was built for this. Displacement hull slices through the waves. The skipper handled it well too. He knew exactly when to slow down and power up. Like a boss.
I think this may be one of your very best videos. The Inlet was very angry that day my friends. Loved the sound of those big diesels on an unseen incoming boat @13:26. Excellent drone and overall views. Glad to c Knot Stirred back ok.
That's some good old fashioned wave crashing 😎 and excellent drone work 👏 really enjoyed it
Thanks
Advice for people boating in areas like this Lift your out drive up just so your bow is up Keep your boat at 2500 or 3000rpm You won’t have issues bouncing or to much water in the boat
Is there no other way to get out to the ocean here? These videos are nuts.
Its just incredible to me that ppl arent using life vests in waves this big? Not even kids?
not to mention they bring dogs with them, poor animals don't stand a chance if they fall over.
One can only imagine how those waves shorten the life of the boats.
And the spines of the people in them.
@@khattemoat I would be going to the chiropractor once the boat is docked. But then again, my friends and I know how to operate boats in tough weather conditions and that wouldn't happen.
Can’t believe that Waterdream 52 has a captain at the helm. He is driving it like a rental boat.
Back Surgeons Boat Bounced Before Beginning.
Nice to see the open collar classes having a laugh. Beautiful boats!
Until I started seeing KZhead videos of that area, I had no idea how rough the sea and inlet can get there. It is interesting to see how the various boat designs handle those conditions and some of them are totally unsuitable aren't they? After watching how incompetent some boat helmsmen are at Black Point Marina, it makes me wonder how many people have drowned at the inlet.
How some of these passengers get tossed around, surprised no injuries or concussions. And NO LIFEJACKETS even on kids. At least a few small boats had the sense to turn around. Great footage, it's addictive! Haulover Inlet is wicked
Thumbs up for the amazing video quality.
I'm a boater, but from the air it seems way calmer out to the sides than sending it down the middle. I understand give yourself as much room as possible incase something goes wrong but seems easier out to the sides
The north end of the inlet is the sweet spot. Kinda shallow though.
Coming back in shouldn't be too much an issue. Ride a good sized roller in. It's not like you can get on much of a plane there.
I’ve traversed many channels with fast flowing currents and have always made a point of watching and studying other boats movements and “State of the Sea” before entering. Edges are ALWAYS better. You NEED to know what’s under the water though.
Personally have been there and some of the rocks on the edge have fallen into the way and gif forbid something happens and you loose power close to the rocks it’s over so it’s only so possible to get so close to them
Having that wait and sea attitude is so much better than just rushing in. Some times Haulover is pretty quiet and then other times the current is against the waves and hell breaks loose as you get standing waves in the inlet. Have a nice Day.
Loving the drone shots
Really liking the drone footage!
Let's just take a moment to appreciate the Grady White's amazing ride at the 23:35 mark. What a gorgeous boat!!
Good boats they are built about an hour and a half from me
Agreed!
Gradys are built very very well
No life jacket laws?.......I'd wear one anyway
I have ridden my waverunner through here many times, it's the best!
👍 that drone footage was incredible and makes watching these videos so much more interesting.
How many boats suffer hull damage from these waves?
Great video! Excellent drone shots! Cheers from the Finger Lakes!
Glad you enjoyed it
Spirit captures ! Impressive video and extraordinary work ! Huge thanks dear Wizard for Your golden hands !
Many thanks
@@BoatZone Likewise dear Friend ! I appreciate Your attention and friendly feedback ! My heartfelt thanks our Wellbeing : I didn't think twice. * * * √Let this day smile at You ! √Let even water become wine when guests come to Your house 🏡 ! My friendly embrace!
Damn that dude feathered that throttle on that gold cigarette perfect
after a lifetime in the water, my instinct is always to approach large waves on the quarter, not head on. And headway speed is critical, only experience can tell you how much speed to carry. Speedracer did it properly for his boat, not too fast, not too slow.
Spot on Brian, I live in the North East of the UK, on the River Tyne. I always keep the Waves on my quarter when it is a bit rough coming in between the Piers. With having a Transom stern on my boat, the waves tend to pick you up as you cross the Bar and you surf in. Picking the right speed is the key to it. Safe journeys.
I've been on going out in boats of all kinds and rough weather like that the late can be nicer to gets caught up between the piers the more people plow through there the more the waves get worse the Riders can be a lot better after you get out of the
