MAN OVERBOARD !! BOAT IGNORES DANGEROUS CONDITIONS AT BOCA INLET !! | HAULOVER INLET | WAVY BOATS
MAN OVERBOARD !! BOAT IGNORES DANGEROUS CONDITIONS AT BOCA INLET !! | HAULOVER INLET | WAVY BOATS
Stormy conditions this week at both Boca Inlet and Haulover Inlet. Winds were hitting at 17mph - 20mph from the NE. Some boats were still up for the challenge and attempted to transit through the dangerous inlet. Man overboard and possibly a new "Vertical Legend". Enjoy the video!

Do we have a new Vertical Legend? Let us know! 😂🚀
I think he poked an angel in the butt while chilling out in heaven with that vertical leap.
Yes we do
@@Mr.Z1776 I think that people do stupid things regardless of a camera or not. I live in Michigan. Plenty of dumb boaters up here too.
@@Mr.Z1776 this is the day and age for not taking personal responsibility for your actions so sure! 😉
@@Mr.Z1776 We can only hope that people are stupid enough to do that.
Amazing how many people go out in these types of conditions with no PFD on, they must all think they are amazing swimmers.
They probably are good swimmer until they hit the water unconscious
They're just too cool 😎
I'm not saying it's right, but almost all adults that boat in Florida don't wear life jackets. Period. Just how it is.
@@gorchcleave5393 yeah thats the way it is up here in BC, a lot of people die every year because of it, and our waters are twice as cold as Florida’s!
I boat all the time. Rarely wear a PFD unless I'm alone or conditions started to rapidly worsen. Again. Not saying it's right. Just the way it is. I think alot of people not around this sort of lifestyle are shocked. Go to the keys, or the intracoastal anywhere in south florida. No life jackets. Not debating the merits, just stating the facts.
Even after the dude almost drowns and makes it back on the boat neither him or his passengers have the brains to put life vest on…unbelievable 🤪🤪🤪
Right
Darwin was sleeping that day!
At least they pulled in the line she used to get him back on the boat.
In his defense, he did look pretty buoyant. 😂
You can't fix stupid.
I often sit and watch these videos and think “How would I navigate this situation?” but then come to my senses and think I wouldn’t even want to take a boat on a day like this to begin with because it would be no fun at all and dangerous as all get out.
First rule of navigating a dangerous, weather-blown inlet: don’t.
Bingo. When he got toward the end of the inlet and you could see the ocean to the east it was just a hot mess. Why bother going out on a day like that. It's just going to suck. Stay inside, grab a beer, take in the "local talent".
Not sure if the captain of that first Scarab knew just how close he came to sinking stern first into the sea 😬
Yep, that could have been a disaster.
Exactly! Some people are saying he handled it like a pro!! Really?? That "pro" almost turned his boat into a bobber!
@@panicmosem5969 a "Pro" on this channel seems to mean "who can get closest to sinking their vessel without actually sinking it".
Should not have been out there in the first place, but if you have to go through that, you have to keep the nose up or submarine into a big wave. Unless you go too far and blow over, you're not going to sink the boat with that much forward speed.
@@painmonopoly6930 😆😆🤣🤣 no kidding man
I once sunk my 14' Jon boat in St.Andrews pass Panama City, FL. So naturally this has become my favorite you tube channel.😁
I’ve been boating south Florida all my life and most hardcore fisherman I know never go out when it’s like that. What are you going to accomplish especially with your family on board. Have a nice day in the ICW or chill by the pool.

Nope. Dawg the Bounty Hunter
Even took the time to take his hands off the controls for a quick hair flip!
I think its a seadoo ?
Guy in the scarab did that like a pro. Going out was perfect, turn around was well timed and perfectly executed. Nice to see someone that's competent behind the helm.
That guy was the worst captain in the video. You must be him 😂😂
A smart Capt would be home watching football and drinking a beer!
Lol maybe if you’re missing some brain cells `😂😂
Agreed, except for the fact that he should have never gone out in the first place
I thought he had just had enough and said fuck this when he realized that the seas were a bit too much to have a good time on the water and turned around to go back in, lol!
Looked like the daughter handled that like a boss, while the mom panicked
Oh, how we've missed you! 💜 to you, Joy, and team!
Glad to be back Daphne. We are reading all your comments and really feeling the love! 🙏👍❤️
Thumbs up to the Officer for coming in perfectly.
Well he was inbound. Much easier. Also nice fender over the gunwale 🤣 picky I know but damn...ship shape please officer.
And one of the few wearing a PFD. But then, it's part of the uniform for marine patrols.
@@jamesb0255 Eh I find coming back in during big seas harder and scarier than going out.
@@RikkiTikkiTavi290 well some people have more experience than others.
I hated seeing the ladder down, but I'm sure it was the last thing on their minds. Good job girls for knowing how to drive the boat.
I think that boat has a gps system to hold location it seems to hold position especially given the waves
Sounds a bit sexist to me why wouldn't women know how to drive the boat? I am actually better than my husband
@@fizz555 It was a compliment. My wife knows how to drive my speed boat and my daughter has been driving my speed boat since she was 7. I know a lot of woman that don't want to learn.
@@fizz555 Probably because more men drive boats than women. Just a guess, so let me know if I'm wrong.
@@fizz555 congratulating women, super sexist. The feminist would prefer we never acknowledge womens achievements in male dominated activities.
Having boated thru both inlets myself I always read the waves beyond the inlet. If I saw angry rolling white caps it was a turn around sign. Beating up your equipment and body isn't enjoyable or safe.

" shrinkage....shrinkage....."
The guy running that boat in the opening clip is a freaking legend! He CLEARLY knows how to run a boat!!! There were several opportunities to seriously screw that up and he handled it like a BOSS!
Yo Rob how’s it going man crazy to see you comment here love your videos! Lots of love from Australia would love to hear what you think about our delicious reef fish here which we call a Coral Trout.
That wasn't skill, that was luck. He should bought a lottery ticket that day
@@robertbodell7221 100% wrong. He may have bit off more than he wanted to chew, but you can bank on it… he knows how to run a boat and how to run that inlet!
@@gordontucker2483 insane!!!! Blue dots that are 3-5kg are about the best eating thing on the planet!!!
@@deermeatfordinner So true along with our mud crabs (Scylla serrata). Thank you so much for replying god bless you, Sarah, Aria and Emma.
Should be a life ring on the end of that line , that kind of stuff amazes me how people go out in that without PFD’s or any kind of safety experience or knowledge SMH . It’s the Captain’s responsibility to give instructions to the passengers ahead of time .
That was the best handstand I've seen in a while.
Blue top legend did one recently too🤣
I can't imagine wanting to go out on a day like that. Even if it was safe to do, it would be a very uncomfortable day.
Motorcyclist don't wear helmets cuz they want to be cool
It’s brutal on your back.
Some people have a ton of money but no common sense!!!!
the Captain in the Zodiac was reading that water like a complete pro
Yes but it blows me away people dont wear life jackets when they are at most risk of going over.
Police Boat and Zodiac. Perfect line. Textbook skills. Thank you for including those!
I thought that Scarab in the beginning was handling things really well… until he went completely vertical. 🤣
To your question about how to navigate breaking waves, the answer is very simple: You don't, unless there is a damn good reason to be out there. It was small craft advisory conditions, and there is no reason (aside from bravado, stupidity, and more than a dash of alcohol) to be out there in those conditions.
Kevin, I couldn't say it better, bravo!
Maybe no reason to GO out there, but there are reasons to BE out there.
you attack them on an angle
I’m literally mind blown right now… with waves like those why are none of these people wearing life jackets 🤯
Stupidity
'Merica
The ladies were super calm. Great job. Not sure how he ended up overboard though!
@@Jay151 they should have kept control after he got back on board.
They should have left the idiot in the sea.
Going overboard typically happens when you accidentally go over the side of the boat into the water. However many drunks can attest to doing it on purpose...
The females* were
According to legend, 90% of male bodies recovered at sea still had their zips open!
I am kinda surprised the guy in the Zodiac is ocean rescue yet doesn't have a pfd or kill switch lanyard on.
My guess is he would be too selfish to take the time to put a kill switch on.
Yeah, that's a bunch of bad habits, but he's the man, ya, know...
But on the other hand he ran the channel smoother and with less fuss and muss than anyone else - rode the waves like a pro surfer.
Did you not see his hair? He's in Florida. Rocking that hair. The sea obeys his every desire. His hair commands it.
That man is lucky he survived. Those women couldn't even bother to help him get on board. It was hard to watch. Was almost screaming at my screen!
Given the water and the situation, it was probably safer for them to be out of the way... or maybe the male said "I got it, go sit down."
1. What damn business do any of those boaters have trying to go out that inlet in those conditions? No lifejackets or strategy, lets just go and see what happens. 2. Theres not even a fishing rod in sight, why bother going out? Just to get beat up and wreck boat? Make it on Wavy Boats?? 3. If youre gonna try to be on Wavy Boats, dont be a fat old fart who gets knocked overboard w/o a lifejacket and cant barely climb a boarding ladder. God is real, he is protecting all these clowns from Darwin every day they open their eyes.
Given that mans size, there's no way those two women were going to be able to lever him onto the boat somehow. It would've been three people in the water and a ghost boat.
Who's going to maintain control of the boat if they help the guy back into the boat ? I'm guessing you've never had any experience with boats in the ocean !
At least stay close and keep an eye on him
If anyone in Florida is taking requests, I'd like to see a swan-shaped paddle boat and a British narrow boat in one of these videos.
OK.....are you offering to take a narrow boat out of the inlet? I watched a video on KZhead recently of some people crossing a large estuary in narrow boats to access a different canal system...it was utterly terrifying, and that was on a calm day!! At one point they had to go beam on to the waves to turn...NO THANK YOU!!
Wouldn’t last a minute
I'll take my sit on top kayak out there. 😁
No one is that insane. These people are not brave, they are stupid.
😜 When you REALLY REALLY REALLY want to go for a boat ride...
It actually took him a minute to come to his senses to yes do the famous turn around 😳
Try to stay in the trough and match the speed of the wave.
Yessir but, what if you're opposing those swells?
Knowing trim and throttle control is essential, apparently nobody explains that to boat buyers in Florida 😎
My first clue to not go out in those conditions is that there’s no other boats out. Those conditions are crazy.
These videos randomly popped up on my feed and i have spent hours watching them.
The police captain was the best hand's down.maintaned speed at all times through it
As a police diver with 18 years experience, I noticed that the police helmsman was the only person smart enough to wear a life jacket. I appreciate the other “dickheads” as I made “overtime” retrieving their bodies.
I’m pretty sure it’s mandatory uniform for Miami dade police to wear life jackets on the water
@@jbeam8226 The point is that other foolish people a’nt!
@@andrewhammond1949 most have the mindset nobody is going to tell them what to do. If it was mandatory to wear a PFD, they would start whining that it is a communist move.
Yeah but the fenders ...
Also thank you to the officer for demonstrating how to drive a boar in following seas. First person I think I've seen do that right on this channel, but yeah, the fenders. Ok, him and the guy in the RHIB, so that makes two, and both in one video.
It's no fun being out on the water in those conditions , so it mazes me to see so many risking their boat and their lives going out in it
It’s their daddies boat…. No worries!
Loved that right leg counter balance at 0.46
That first Scarab dunked the engines and transom like an Oreo in milk!
On the back of the wave, to give a little more distance between the transom and any wave breaking behind? Note how the officer was THE ONLY person shown with a life vest/jacket on?
I don' t understand why people don't wear lifejackets when under way, especially in seas like that.
I'm not sure what the draw is to go out in such rough conditions, I'm a smooth water boater but have experienced some rough water where the cooler flips over and dumps everything out which sucks!
idk looks exciting, like climbing a mountain without a rope is exciting, until you make a mistake
Something peaceful about these videos.
Honestly putting the thumbnail clip first is pretty awesome and makes me want to finish the video more then if it was hidden somewhere in the video
I think the first boat did pretty well navigating the waves.
He did on the way back in, a little rough on the way out but not too bad.
Well, more by luck than good judgement it would seem - no jackets...
thats exactly what I thought, it landed like a champ! very impressed
If he was really smart he would not have attempted to go out in the first place. Obviously he realized his mistake once he was out. Also after that second wave in the set of three if he had gone hard to starboard and then back to port with power he would have slipped that wave and not launched his vessel 20 feet in the air. Sooo really it was a fail from the start.
@@jamesb0255 smartest assessment. Thankyou.
The ocean looks fantastic here...and it's always a pleasure to see people getting out and enjoying themselves....even though some might be inexperienced and foolhardy. I love seeing good boat handling skills and seeing people just loving being on the ocean. I love the ocean so much..
I too love and respect the ocean very much. 🌴😎🌴
and there are times to use commen sense and not be out there!
I need to take my stand up out there. Looks fun! Could launch off of some serious waves!
That guy in the RHI was sooo chill it was relaxing to watch him!
This first boat has the "lily pad" up in the bow like they're going to anchor and enjoy a leisurely swim. lel 💀
So the Scarab guy had plenty of water to wash out his pants if he had any issues with his actions. Some Captains have done it and know whats up. I’d be the guy needing that water wash. The one reason I watch your channels is living vicariously through your lens….Thanks so much!!!
I would pay for an app that notified me when to tune in to you guys because the waters rough ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
thanks very much for the vids you do.
You're very welcome! 🍻
Love having you guys back!
Glad to hear it Edwin! 🙏
Boating is referred to as pleasure boating! Does that look like fun when you almost loose your boat and your crew comes back with a broken back? Watching these videos it amazes me how many credit captains don't know their boat capabilities and when to seek safe harbors.
Wow,,great shots!@!!
Great thumbnail, a second earlier at its highest point even better IMO
The best way to navigate through breaking waves is do not navigate into breaking waves.
Exactly!!!
Yep, my question was why do that? Big nope from me.
@@dbtomlinson yes, How can you enjoy a day of boating under conditions like that…just not worth it!
You can leave calm and come back in to this mess. Sometimes there are no choices. Not difficult to do, just not comfortable for the passengers.
@@Watchdoc65 o
Anytime I have someone onboard my boat who is unfamiliar gets a briefing on what to do if something happens to me. Reduce power, circle around, get a throwable to me with a rope on it, put the ladder down and put it in neutral when I am close to the motor. In the troph going with the waves at the same speed works well. Going against, power through. Keep the nose up, but not so high that you get stood up. Best strategy is AVOIDANCE.
@@jimcarlson1858 Yes sir, I agree. I was a USAF Special Ops pilot for many years. When we did our planning for an op or a hit, it took days. One of those days (a full day) was dedicated to exactly that. In fact, the name of the planning session was called “what ifs.” It was a full day dedicated to any scenario that any of the crews in the op/hit could dream up in their minds and how we would handle it or mitigate the threats or risks. We used to say that Prior Proper Planning Prevents Piss Poor Performance. You don’t wait until you’re thirsty to dig the well and you don’t wait until you’re in the 💩 to try to formulate and explain the unbriefed plan. I like the way you think!
@4:50 What!, those were the kids with the rescue?! That should be on the news. Those kids deserve recognition.
So crazy😮hope they are ok have a great day🤗
As someone who's only owned a boat for five years have to say it takes learning through experience to figure out what you were doing wrong and what you are doing right. When I first got my boat I was complete Noob for the first two years. Probably still am.
Well it isn’t going full throttle head on! To be honest those conditions are too dangerous but if you had to get out aim 15 degrees with an equivalent 15 degree opposite lock to arc through big waves will mean you won’t go vertical or worse.
4:15 That Cobia with it's high freeboard is a good boar for those conditions. It is a good thing the 'captain' didn't take a cut-off switch with him.
Last guy is just rolling in with the wave
5:00 Not Bad Ladies , not bad at all
Scarab did great? He made a poor decision going out in those conditions and compounded without PFD’s. Sent his boat vertical lucky he didn’t damage or lose his power when the boat landed vertical. Nice job on the way in.
WOW, an honest to goodness full breach !!
Blue Top legend the dude to talk to on navigating any waves🤣
Mother Nature for the win!!
.......which is exactly why I've tried teaching my wife how to run our 22' bay boat, but she's like "I'm afraid. I don't think I can do it". I said "You're absolutely right, you CAN'T do it, because you won't even try!! Now, get over here and take the wheel!!"
let me guess, she doesn't go boating with you any more?
Thumbnail content shown in very first segment. Instant like from me.
That slow-mo playback was epic. OHHHH MY GOD!!
And nobody's wearing a PFD....incredible!!
Such is life in Florida! 😂
“Nothing bad is gonna happen to ME...”🙄
@@WavyBoats no helmets and no pfd, just letting nature and drawing take its course 😂
@@calalos why donit differently than with COVID?....
Needed life vest. I don't care how good of a captain you are. In and out of a rough inlet is a death trap
WOW and No LifeJackets...Great Video..Thanks
After KZhead constantly recommending me to your channel I have finally hit the bell… it really is good stuff to watch. But what did you do for KZhead that made them promote you so well?
That scarab did EXACTLY the right thing. This isnt his first time in this type of condition. Good job
He in no way did exactly the right thing. Going out he almost sank his boat because he didn't know what he was doing. Did pretty good coming in but they were very lucky they didn't lose power from those near vertical drops.
I was like "damn, SeaVee is handling that water like a boss, then 3:36 happens"
That was a big smack right?
I mean still handled it well. Boat wasn't in danger
The dude running the zodiac is the first person I’ve seen on this channel that I would trust to run my boat over there
The scarab captain shown first did that exit and entry picture perfectly.
The answer, for the need for extreme 'seamanship' .... is to avoid situations that call for it.... (RIP Bill Bradly).....
I understand why it's compulsory to where I lifejacket when going out through a bar ( inlet)here in Australia. Our voluntery marine rescue service is made up of just that. VOLUNTEERS. Who should not have to rescue people who are in trouble because of poor decisions and thoughtless actions.
That's some awesome shoveling
Veri nice video. Greetings from Italy 🇮🇹
I used to run this inlet in 1964 with a 16ft boat. As long as you know your limitations…
when the tip of your boat points toward the sky...time to go home
Time to learn power, throttle, trim and read the swell
😂😂👍
. Thanks for sharing.
What camera you shooting with? Great video quality.. thanks
Scarab handled it perfectly
ya besides going completely fucken vertical
Not really, wetted hull is to short for rough water in my opinion.
I agree regardless of a wet hull, that was very well done.
Yeah, what I thought when he tail slid that hull down the back side of the biggest one that came through. Goes to show it's not all throttle, all the time. He kept the pounding to a bare minimum.
@@jamjam9930 yeah, he missed one, but managed it alright.
Never let a lack of brains keep you from a great boating experience. Sometimes it's advisable to have a harness and be attached to your boat and wearing a PFD if you know what that is.
Seriously, only one PFD in this entire video and it was on the cop. Not even the person in that little zodiac had one and the waves were double his height.
@@theheresiarch3740coach swimming for about 12 years, and I guarantee you these people do not have swimming skills... Well that water is too dangerous to swim in any way. And, probably they're too drunk to spell PFD.
Well that’s all very comforting then,isn’t it??
Life Jackets!!! I've been out sailing in weather not unlike this. Every afternoon there is usually a sea breeze coming in from the south west. When the sea breeze is really coming in, it's about this rough, maybe worse. Thing is though, most people have the sense to call it a day about then. These days if you are going on the ocean it really is a case of life vests, and an EPIRB......and now you have to have a skippers ticket.
dude on the zodiac absolutely eating those waves up like it was nothing… best captain in this video
I'm a life long boater in SE Florida. I have owned the exact boat in the first clip, the Scarab Sport for nearly 10 years from 2002 until 2011.(hence my user name) and I have been in conditions worse than that. Coming back from the Bahamas battling that and worse for 4 hours. It is a seaworthy boat if you know how to handle it. This guy did the best he could with this boat in these conditions. I ran mine back from the Bahamas in 10-12 foot seas....no bullshit....my buddy and I were ready to die. But I kept calm and worked the throttles and helm with precision and we got home after 4 hours of having our asses kicked with no damage to the boat.
what year was your scarab built ? thanks
Love it...the guy goes overboard, the wife just sits there and checks her phone, then looks like....wow that was a lot of work....probably checking his life insurance...then we he gets onboard she sits away from him instead asking if he's OK....I'd dump her quick....
yep, I thought exactly the same thing: her husband looked a bit overweighted, she just threw a rope and let him cope with his body instead of giving him a hand.
The boat’s named “The Other Woman”, maybe she’s jealous. Or maybe that’s not his wife!
It's an AWESOME feeling to go through the inlet when it's like this and worse. You have to be a adrenaline junkie. It can get extremely rough sometimes. We come from Tennessee to have fun in the summer time..
Cool Clip, I like to see the boats in the water like this, could care less about seeing fail, just neat to be seeing the boats.
He went over without a life vest on. We call rescues like that “recoveries”.🙄
Well thankfully this one did not turn into a recovery. But they should've definitely had vests on and everyone in my boat would have.
How did he go overboard ?
@@ironheadjim1 , Cameraman missed the money shot!
😳 😱 With all due respect, Clearly the operator was not trained on how to navigate a 🚤.Hope everyone is still enjoying the boating life. Be well.
Wouahhh...Very very impressive !!!😮
How do you navigate breaking (big) waves? BIGGER BOAT! We missed you Wavy!!!
Stay out of the troughs.power up dont let it wallow.skip wave tops.and if your boat doesnt have enough power.intracoastal buddy.plenty of fish.go home alive.
