BOAT FAILS: Family in Danger, Guy Drowning, Boat Sinking at Haulover Inlet | BOAT ZONE
Haulover Inlet in Florida is a popular spot for experienced boaters seeking a thrill. Known for its challenging conditions and strong currents, the inlet connects the Atlantic Ocean to the Intracoastal Waterway and is famous for its rough waves and strong winds, which can make boating hazardous. Despite the risks, many boaters are drawn to the inlet's challenging conditions and the opportunity to navigate through it.

From Austria, Beautiful shots!
Texas
Coastal New England
from Denver, CO I've sailed I/O Haulover many times...
Australia,
Never would I risk my family’s life by taking a boat out in those waves
And with NO life jackets being worn! That's reckless for your family.
The peoples of south Florida are stupid in a special way. Parents actually encourage their kids to not wear seatbelts here. I see it every day here on every road, kids hanging out the windows like pets.
Yep, I'd rent a family & A boat. ROLL TIDE!
Its simply AMAZING to me that anyone would venture into the ocean when the chop is as big as it was without a flotation device- COMMON SENSE goes a long way
Notice that the cops are wearing PFDs.
this is 'merikkka after all
Florida free dumb
Doesn’t appear to be a speed limit either 😳
Common sense goes out the window when on the water. They want to go as fast on the water as they go on land.
I witnessed a man in a kayak being overwhelmed by a boat wake last year. Rental boat way overloaded including two very elderly women, at least six kids (ages @3 to early teens) and four adults going too fast thru a no-wake zone. Not a single PFD on anyone. The kayaker flipped over and even though he was wearing a vest, was struggling but the boat operator laughed and kept going into the marina w/o slowing. We pulled over and helped the swamped kayaker. He lost most of his tackle, phone and was furious. He asked us to take to that marina. Turns out, he was a sheriff’s deputy. He borrowed my phone, called for backup and we dropped him off at the boat rental. Heard later the boat operator was arrested for BWI, failure to provide PFD to the children, failure to follow no wake, failure to have valid drivers license or ID and outstanding felony warrant. His wife was arrested for impeding an officer, outstanding warrants and refusing to ID.
The magical inlet where clowns go to remind everyone that acquiring a boating license should be a way more involved process than it actually is.
It is not even a process at all. If you are an adult you're allowed to operate a boat period Unfortunately they let any idiot do it
@@chadbreton4951 Yep.
15:29 Nicely helmed boat....... Captain traversing the inlet with no drama or stress to himself, his passenger or the boat...
Probably because he knows what he’s doing and not racing in!
15:50 FL7264PD - congratulations to the man, finally someone who actually knows how to drive a boat! Kudos!
And 15:17 boat driver too.
Yes, he just went right through those waves without a single bounce.
THE swimmer caught in the rip tide , glad someone finally helped .
one of my high school buddies died in a riptide at 55 yers old. Helping an Asian lady.
One of my favorite things to do on the Internet is watching idiots in Boots. I love the channel
that dude swimming is one lucky man he was seconds away from disaster
What was he doing in a channel in the first place? 🤪🤔
The video says he was dragged from the beach by the current @@Stllno
Most people in Florida think a PFD is a sandwich at the deli.
@CarlCumby - If we weren't talking about actual human lives at risk I'd laugh.
This is natural selection at work here.
And it’s always astounding to see that these little boats designed mostly for lakes and flat waters are trying to exit inlets on rough days.
how bout the pontoon boats
I've never boated in conditions like this but some of these people driving the boats seem less than clueless how to use them. Trim and power people. TRIM AND POWER.
I have (once) and it’s absolutely miserable for everybody on board. Doesn’t matter the occasion, boat wouldn’t touch the water on a day like this.
@@bradi8548 I grew up driving small boats on popular lakes in Minnesota. If you did it wrong you could swamp it. Trim and power.
Trim, control of power and direction you mean.
@@alexcawthorne811 No, I'm not pointlessly pedantic.
@@Vorgtothat's why you need to be on the ocean to learn how it works.
The boat going right past a person drowning blows my mind
I couldn't believe my eyes. What is wrong with those people?
You referring to the JetSki or the larger blue and white boat?
3:30 min in.
7:12 min in two girls in water overturned jetski.
Today’s population is quite ignorant and selfish.
This video should be titled "Stupidity Plus"
more money than brains !
Plenty of immigrants.....
Much respect to the boater and folks that came to the rescue of the drowning man. He would not have lasted much longer.
Its crazy how many people dont seem to understand the simple solution of moving weight back on a boat
There has to come a time when authorities can do something about these Jet Skiers. Not just a danger to themselves but others as well. Also why does no one ever throw a life ring to the people struggling to stay afloat, at a minimum a damn life jacket or any floatation device
I think the Jet Skiers are not at all an exception!!! I see VERY few sensible people in these vids….
I agree completely. It should be unlawful for any vessel to not render aid when a person(s) are in the water presumably alone without assistance and especially when the person is not wearing a personal flotation device. I’m shocked at the number of boats who saw the man in the water and didn’t stop to render aid. Pathetic!
@@b.hanson406it’s a bystander effect, it’s not anyone’s specific responsibility but someone should help. Thankfully this is as busy as a pleasure boat area gets and there are ample rescue and recovery resources there. Also I promise you these are edited lowlights. Thousands of competent captains go through this inlet. I love rescuing people when I’m out I’ve helped 4 or 5 boaters in need and received help a few times.
Nevermind the PWC'ers. The captain of the first boat is the bigger jerk.. Almost sinks the boat with all those people in it...
@@b.hanson406 As a matter of fact IT IS unlawful to NOT render assistence to those in need of help!!!! I think this law is already centuries old and counts worldwide!!!
Damn, that guy drowning was hard to watch. Once someone goes under it can be impossible to find them. The current might take them less than 10 feet away from their last known position, but it can be impossible to locate them once they are under the surface. He was about 5seconds from going under. I went parasailing once with my wife and the boat dropped us off about 20 feet from shore. Unfortuantely it was right on top of a current and we started immediately getting tugged out once we stepped foot off the boat. She immediately started freaking out. I had to wrap my arm around her and tell myself that we were not drowning that day. I have no idea how I got us back in but I collapsed on the beach once I could breath. Scared me shitless.
Were you and your wife wearing life vests? And why did the boat just leave you in those kind of conditions?
It is so ridiculous (and foolhardy) the number of people on these boats without life jackets!
I like how they cheer as they swamp the drowning guy. The sheer lack of knowledge and common sense I see here is alarming.
And the Winner : Midnight Express! Have I told you yet today how much I love The Midnight Express?
Keep a floatation device on a long line attached to the stern of the boat. As you approach the person in the water throw the float into the water behind your boat. Go past the person then turn back around them. Go slowly and the line will be pulled towards the person in the water. They can grab the line and let it pass through their hands until it brings the float to them. Once they have the line stop the boat and pull the person to the boat.
Anyone else 🙏🤞 that the cat with a full foredeck, was going to properly stuff? 🤣😂
How can 2 boats drive past a struggling person thats drowning, almost running over him??? Wha5 is wrong with people!!!!
I live on the Long Beach Peninsula at the very west coast of Washington state. Here we would NEVER go out in the Pacific ocean with small boats and waves and currents like that! It would be a death wish!!!!
It's Florida...full of dumb idiots with more money than sense.
New Americans?
I grew up in the Hamptons, and Shinneycock Inlet was my playground. You learned fast: stay on the back rockpile during incoming tide, and play on the point during outgoing tide. The incoming tide *RIPS* along the shore and yanks you right into the channel.
Midnight Express the king of the Inlet!! Always amazing how much better it handles Haulover compared to most other boats.
Cant ever go wrong with a Midnight E
Not even close...the Seavee's are a much better hull and masters of the inlet. You see Midnights stuffed there quite often.
Some noses and eye sockets come awfully close to some sharp corners on their crafts, like the corner of the window on the bowriders.
Top tip. Wait until you are in danger of sinking, then start handing out the LSJs.
Always makes me crazy to see those fools running bow riders at Haulover with kids on the bow, no life jackets. Incredible...
My son was in the Coast Guard in Miami. I toured those small Coast Guard boats, they have special seats. You don’t feel a single bounce when you’re smashing those waves.
awesome!! any video?
It is not due to the seats only, they have a deep V bottom that soften the impacts.
The absolute sheer stupidity of some of these people never ceases to amaze me.....
Can’t believe the sheer number of boaters that don’t wear life jackets in those conditions!
Well done to the boat who rescued the swimmer. Very scary stuff here, absolute lunatics in some the boats, should not be let out without a minder. Crazy.
I'm amazed that Fl. apparently doesn't have a law requiring life jackets, especially for kids. Even more amazed at the low level of boater safety knowledge displayed in these videos.
Free dumb
It seems that most boat skippers are oblivious to what is happening to their passengers. The passengers become airborne to quite a height and must suffer sever bruising broken bones or server back injuries in some cases. Australia.
Tuff times in the water today , WOW 😳
oooh. I am so liking this channel!!!
So relaxing to watch
18:12: Kudos to the guy telling his girl to hold on appropriately before it gets too crazy!
Pelican Pete is struggling with lunch... That Regal is overloaded
The only boat in my humble opinion. That can handle these swells and deep ocean are the Viking yachts. They are just built for it.
Most larger deep V hulls have no problem though it's more about the captain having knowledge of how to handle rough water. Seavee's and Nortechs also handle the inlet easily when correct throttle control, trim and direction are used.
The Midnight line boats 😍😍🙇🏽♀️ those are beautiful
When I lived in San Jose CA I knew a boater who told me that many people don"t understand currents. He said before you go sailing anywhere near the Golden Gate to stand over a toilet and flush it. That's exactly what it's like. Having ridden over the bridge on a bicycle I can attest that when the tide is going out it looks like a river.
I live in Florida and Haulover is great entertainment. Jupiter Inlet is also fun.
Miss Lucky barely made it with that Anchor holding them back. Love the drone shots.
I've been in worse conditions and similar conditions lots of times, training,experience, common sense and knowledge of the conditions play a big part in staying safe. I used to be a Rescue Cox and level 3-4 powerboater(planed craft). I'm watching these morons with my jaw on my chest.
What's the game plan, is it go faster and on an angle, or straight through? Or can you make it going super slow? I see some speed looks good, but what if you don't want to take off five feet in the air, I need to know
That first boat should be impounded and the captain charged with endangerment…
The Apache 47, just amazing, my favourite boat of all time :):):), from Australia
That tag at 430 may be my new favorite
This is proof that motorcycles aren't the only vehicles that can catch big air.
Shame on that couple on the jet ski not helping the guy in the water.
The last clip was hilarious with the bird
Most people with no life jackets, crazy
Drone sequence near the end is outstanding.
That scarab was flying lol
Dang!!! Those waves weren't messing around on that day!!! I would have stayed inside the harbour that day for sure!!!
“Let’s go out of the inlet”, they said. “It will be fun”, they said.
Wonder why people are so obsessed with turning their expensive boats into a $1 million saltwater bathtub
QUESTION: I’ve never owned a boat or driven one… What’s the solution/trick to navigating big waves near an inlet like this? Some people (regardless of the boat) seem to do a better job than others…. Drive fast? Slow? Is the hull design/shape a factor? Or are the boats who seem to have an easier time just have a better Capt behind the controls? THANKS-
Apparently trim bow up slightly and have enough speed to keep the bow raised. If you crest a big wave, turn slightly away from the direct line. Stay 5m from the break wall for minimum chop. That’s all I’ve learned watching these.
A deep V stiff hull handled such waters best, or a Rigid Inflatable Boat (RIB) which is what you'll see most emergency services use as they were specifically designed for use in such conditions. A great part, however, is also down to captain's competency. Many in these videos are totally incompetent and terrible examples of seamanship or SOLAS awareness. If they weren't so bad they wouldn't be on these videos right? Florida has a special relationship between stupidity and boating - where else globally do you see as many idiots as at Haulover and Boca inlets? A lot of (very dumb) people also say just use speed - well you can easily stuff a 40' Midnight or Viking that way. The correct way is use control of speed, trim (bow attitude) and steering. I've manufactured and sailed boats over 50 years from dinghies, 50'+ yachts to racing cats and there is nothing that's safe in the hands of a total idiot. Understand the ocean - treat it gently and leard how to co-exist. You will never beat it and it will cost you a lot if you don't respect it - not just in boat repairs but possibly your life.
these aren't big waves, at all, they are close together tho. What happens at the inlet, the ocean is "firing" right into the inlet, the waves pop up right AT the inlet, into the inlet, soooo.... you have to know.... is the water rushing OUT of the inlet or IN the inlet? Then which way am I headed? Seems juvenile I know, but a guy driving a boat is an automatic danger to himself, his passengers and everyone in the other boats around him. That statement seems weird BUT, the boat will not steer without throttle, things get sticky, boats get close togther and shyt will happen. The second you need to chop the throttle, collision avoidance or whatever, the boat no longer rides waves, steers, or does anything at all. It'll just HIT whatever it's pointed at. Collision avoidance. It won't do that. It won't turn away, it won't quickly back up especially if 3 nanoseconds before it was under power. It HAS NO BRAKES. IF IF IF you absolutely have to RIGHT NOW slam it outta Forward, into Reverse because DEATH IS NEAR, you've just knocked the props off (a bigger boat), regardless of size, it'll take, for full on-the-gas into full panic stp by reversing, it'll eat up 30-40 yards. It will hit whatever it's pointed at. Plus ALWAYS ASSUME every boat Captain is drunk, and his passengers too. It's 100000% true. Not many good decisions coming. The BEST thing to do when in a boat ...... keep the water OUT of the boat, keep the passenges IN the boat. No one wears a life jacket and no matter what you say, n one ever will. It's insane really. Take the fattest, no swimmingest grandma and she refuses to wear one, cause it ain't "cool". Soooo... THAT automatically means that ALL life preservers shall be stowed in a matter as to make them unusable. People have them, in a wad, under a seat, tangled up so tight it takes 10 minutes to get one out. As for the video, most guys are "tourist"ing around, they PLAN on dousing the kids down, part of the fun. A lot of these wave runner accidents, they are rentals, they let anyone get on. Being in the inlet is the most dangerous place on the whole water. No room for error. A boat without the throttle held down is just a log in the water, a painted upholstered log.
It’s interesting to watch !
How people don't die or are severely injured here every day is beyond me.
Tumbs up for the hungry Pelican ! ♥
So beautiful👍👍
Guy stuck in the inlet is a terrifying situation...... Off of Key West at Mallory Square there's a cut w/ an island across from it & I went in & finally got myself out but there was no boater to help. There are big ladders every so often but at low tide you got to wait on a swell to have a chance to grab that ladder & then ya still gotta pull yourself up -n- out. That day I thought I was gonna drown. Water may look pretty/blue but danger lurks. peace
I live 7973 kilometers away. But one day I will visit this interesting place myself!
Trying to figure out why over half of these are in the fails video tbh
Honestly amazed that your allowed to drive this fast when close to Land and other Boats in the US
Amazing how many passengers are in the Bow in those seas. Skipper should keep them in the stern in those waves.
Nice seamanship by the Sea Fox Skipper.
15:26 on.... no stress to him, his passenger, the boat....
Soooooo many rookies out there !! Geeezzzzz
Looks like a great place for a harbor
With all the controversy nationally over "choice", I'm surprised to see so many families appearing to support choice up to 1,000 weeks.
It appeared there were many under the age of nineteen... 😉
Hahaha good ol' Floriduh.
Strange how the intro tune never wears off
The Netherlands! 🇳🇱
Lots of flotsam in the channel today!
Id love to take my boat there. Child’s play for sure.
The walrus at 8:19 was instructing the Capitan "you're supposed to beach me on those rocks over there".
21:48 That was a dark episode 😂
I couldn't even afford the outboards on these - you must have great finance options in the US
The boat that was overloaded at 1:35, scooping up water, looked like it was ready to roll? The dude at 3:32 looked like he was about to go under? Maybe those who can afford multi-million-dollar boats are not worried about running over a jet ski of small craft because. There is no way they could possibly see everything in their way at 50+ mph. PS So how often are small craft or swimmers run over in the inlet; I don't recall you showing any however it must take place?
Note the complete absence of any bilge pump tell tale.... there's a switch for that....
@@JohnSmith-pl2bk Most modern boats are equipped with bilge pumps that have an automatic float system that turns them on when water reaches a certain level in the bilge. If you look at 1:33 it appears the pump has been energized? I would suspect, with the way the boat was rolling the pump was cavitating, therefore, not a steady stream?
Javea , Spain ..👍
Never a hungry shark around when you need one 😮
Dopes on boats!
My back hurts just from watching lol
Who would take a kid out on a boat in those conditions and not have a life vest on them?
The waters in this inlet scare the crap out of me.😮
No se aburren ahí con la cámara
Inlet Ivan was seconds away from going down.
Ironic, the small Seafox boat known as a low tier brand had the best captain that knew how to enter a rough inlet
1:24 - Man in the bow is completely regarded. Despite getting hammered multiple times with waves, he continues to not even look forward, then when boat lists to starboard he sits there like a dummy. Basic common sense to move to the back when water is coming over the bow. 1:57 - Jetskis have a towloop on the bow precisely for this purpose
Astonishing to see how many children aboard without a life jacket vest! Like the idiots in the beginning of the video, only after they panicked did they realize it was a good idea to put them on!
Legendary Apache, bringing the party! And NOTHING louder on the face of this earth than a squealing teenage girl....NOTHING!
Haven't people heard about life vests?
So much stupidity, I'm surprised more people don't perish at the thoughtless actions of their 'captains'.
The manmade inlets should not be underestimated they are a raging river during high and low tide
7:43 lost fishing rod!
There are so many people that have no clue what so ever about boating and what it takes to properly maneuver, a boat or watercraft.What a shame
