lol i was just sitting here screaming, "frickin get on the throttle!!"

That's what ocean boats were made for, lake boats would sink.

The mate was a mighty sailin' man, the Skipper brave and sure, They left in a light blue boat that day, for a three hour tour, a three hour tour.....

Take it from someone who's been boating in coastal water for 3 decades, running surf zones is VERY difficult and hazardous. Especially those inlet bars. As if understanding the conditions of the inlet, the hydrography, wave dynamics, and wave intervals isn't bad enough, add to the mix the variable if you get in the trough of a wave, there is less depth over the bar, and you run the risk of grounding the outdrive, and even having the engine stall from the prop hitting hard sand, then losing control and being broached by the oncoming wave. Returning to port isn't any easier than going seaward, either, because then you have to contend with not outrunning the wave and pitch-poling, but at the same time, maintaining enough throttle to keep the wave behind you from swallowing your transom.

Later that day he came back with 50 dolphin lol

Sebastian inlet with a decent swell, outgoing tide with an east wind is pure hell

I promise you most of the people commenting have never tried to take a boat that size out an inlet that rough. I guarantee the person driving that boat was crapping there pants and wishing they’d stayed at the dock! 😂 one wrong move and that boat was flipped. A captain with experience would never have done that in that boat.

The same phenomenon happens quite often at the entrance to the Cape Cod Canal on the western end into Buzzards Bay. Tide rushes out in One Direction, wind is blowing it in the other, causes the waves to stand on end at about 6 feet high. Happens occasionally on the East End as well, but much more common in the West End

At least someone caught that wave!

Captain handled that boat like a BOSS...!!!!

In my teens I raced Rubber Duckies for a Surf Club in Australia. Something I've noticed with people negotiating the surf is a lack of aggression, no use of Parallel runs between waves and just really no idea. turn the thing around and chase the last wave, then use a parallel run to create space and give you time, wait for a lul in the sets and go. Until you can put your Vessel where ever you want whenever you want, at speed, do not cross the Bar.

Great video, brother-

Was this video taken the same year? I remember surfing the last three weekends of November 09 in Ocean Ridge. Some of the most fun waves we've had down here.

Once again running a boat is not driving a car. It's about seamanship and a floatplan that takes into consideration the tides, winds and so forth. I see to many people who get injured because they simply couldn't plan their trip for four hours (or so) later or four earlier! I's amazing!

Seems like the water would be too shallow for large boats like that. How deep is it?

Now that is one brave and soiled boater.

The dive boat I learned on pitch-poled coming in there a few years ago and sunk! RIP Loggerhead.

I’ve only ever taken boats out of the Mississippi. There can be large swells at the mount but no bars and no breaking waves thankfully.

Pretty damn scary - thanks for posting.

Looks flat out too, thats one rough ass inlet

Coming back in is the fun part.

Jeez! Is it possible for me to use and share this footage on my youtube page? I share footage from all kind of activities on our ocean. Cargo ships in the 1960s till now, oil rigs, fishing vessels, etc. Of course full credit will be given to the owner of the footage. Looking forward to your reply. Kind regards. Cheers.

Nice video! Subbed.

The surfers were jamming out there ready to catch some of that surf.

Gettin' it done ✅

I didn't see him get vertical one time? Seems to me he handled it pretty well. So would that have not produced enough views to just say, "decent skipper leaving the harbor in moderate weather and not having any big problems" ? The truth is a beautiful thing.

I drive by here everyday on my way home, sometimes stopping to kayak. I've kayaked through most inlets here but I wouldn't dare take my kayak through that one. We hit those swells in a 20 foot bayliner and it shattered the windshield and knocked us on the floor when the boat hit the seabed just to the right of where they went out. The cassette tape that was IN the radio flew out of the boat!

only had to hit one of those, should have just powered straight out after the first one lol

How do so many ppl dislike this? At first I was like whatever but then I saw those breakers. A camera on that boat would make people watching piss their panties. Dislikers have never been on a boat... That shiz was sketchy!!!

That is a calm day at bointon

Surfers running like...HURRY!!!! They’re breaking off something fierce right now bruh!

Did you see the boat from 9-20-20?

They could have just make one small turn around right before the waves and waited for the last wave. There's a break right after that last wave that certainly would give them a lot of time to go out smoothly...

"Everybody who sees that turns around..." (Ummm, they didn't turn around.)

this is the nastiest inlet I've ever been out of. So many close calls it makes my heart pound just thinking of it. But totally worth the cooler full of dolphin or the double digit sail releases during winter.

Make sure you watch next vid... it didn't end so good.

waves look good

I go through here in my kayak after fishing for tuna all morning. Has to be incoming tide and no breakers!

No sweat! Must be a local

UM no this is south florida we run inlets to go fishing all the time sometimes its lumpy sometimes its flat sometimes you gotta take some water over the bow nothing to write home about

I've gone out of Boynton inlet many times over the years. It can be a bitch. Seen a few unlucky souls capsize going out.

I just liked and subscribed.

HOOPA FULL THROTTLE!!

near the end if yuo look closely you can see tow guys jumping off one of the sea walls with surf bourds

A cat hull would’ve been smoother. Waves come in sets, some bigger, some smaller. All you have to do is wait for a big set, a smaller set usually follows.

a typical day at boynton inlet

"got another brave soul goin through" lmao

he probably dropped $200 worth the gas in the tank and said fuck it

some one needs a contender

WOW!

Did he dieded??

In basic recon. course we had to do this in a zodiac with no motor, only paddles

Been there done that at least 100 times with my dad. I hate that inlet

WWWhhhhhoooaaaa beer?

My Baja would eat that shit up!!!

WTF that is insane thats the scariest sh!t ive ever seen if i had a 50 ft boat i think id think twice about doing that ..ive gone out my inlet in my 40 footer in 12ft swells and i was scared..these waves are breakers they are crashing through

hmmm, well....he made it.

don't you have zoom on that camera

Yeehaw!

Is this inlet ever calm? Jeeze what an annoying place. Depoe Bay, Or. is probably worse than this. One wrong move at Depoe Bay inlet and you're up on the bricks. LOL.

doesnt look like they "think they can go through the ground swell" looks more like the WENT THROUGH the ground swell

Who would save you if the boat capsized?

Plenty dangerous bars in nz

I've actually been through Boynton inlet and have that happento me. 20 foot wave vs. 30 ft. Contender

Or... this guy does it every day and has been doing it for 30 years. Experience maybe? It didn’t look to me like he was ever in trouble.

When someone wants to go fishing surf doesn't even faze them.

only at boynton inlet do we have such dedicated sob fishermen like these guys

@blackfishblackfish The hell you say...

You only have so much time between breaking waves so as soon as they got through that first one they should have quickly speeded up to avoid the breaking ones. Obviously lacking experience.

@DG121480 hey man i live around there and besides we take a 40 foot cabo through there it's not that bad

bruh you think thats bad, i went on 12 foot swells through that inlet on a 30 foot boat

@TurboGSR96 I get annoyed when people refer to something that belongs to there parents as "mine" or "my" also. Then again maybe they gave him a 60 footer for Christmas. Damn it took me till I was 24 to buy my first boat this year. lol

dude was desperate to go kill fish.

Omg what is wrong with people not worth it to risk your life or boat

no fish is worth that risk.

What kind of fucked up inlet is that!? Ponce inlet, FL Nuff said.

is the norm at jupiter inlet?

@theU880 He isn't rich. His family may be, but unless he's been working most of his life he is not rich. lol

Of waves are breaking over the bar stay in not worth it

HAHA!

Go

So whats the big deal ? who ever took a boat out thinking they might not see sum waves

Not that bad ?

dangerous? looks like fun. Being out in the open ocean is simply dangerous no matter where you are. Life life or sit on the couch.

Almost a perfect break from the surf line. Good skippering. B+. Good job. Take the seas on your quarter, not on your bow. Slice the waves, don't pound them. Good skippering.

I shitmyself

Reality is that this inlet wasn't designed for boat traffic. What this guy did in those conditions was he almost lost his boat and possibly more than that.

No one goes beyond the reef...

That's a perfect example of when someone let's there want take over there better judgment.

Too timid.

Clear case of testosterone poisoning.

Vertical?? You are out of focus.

That's not bad

LOL....Rental boat 100%
