How to Navigate the ICW: Channel Markers, Bridges and Wake Zones
Whether you're a new boater or an experienced captain it's always important to keep the rules of the road fresh in your mind! In this video we cover topics such as red right returning, no wake zones and how to properly call a bridge. Additionally, we explain how to identify an ICW channel marker from a smaller channel channel marker; how to properly read seasonal wake zone signs and understand who has the right of way!

That looks like 10½ ft or 11ft marker .. the 9ft mark is above the "10" because it shows the Verticle Clearance from Waterline to bottom of the bridge .. Thanks for the Video .. very informative and helpful .. (I'd bet that many of the boaters watching this are seeing this for the first time based on some of the videos I've seen). In addition to "Red, Right, Returning" you can use "R.E.N.T." and "C.O.G.S." as memory keys. BZ GFTs .. Press On!

@gravl1 11 ай бұрын

One exception: when entering the Caloosahatchee waterway (in Lee County, FL), the markers in the river will be reversed. This is because the intracoastal cuts through Florida from the Atlantic, across Okeechobee, then out to the Gulf. The red markers are on the right, or northward side based on the perspective of “returning” from the Atlantic. For boaters “returning” from the Gulf, the red markers will be on your left while in the Intracoastal. There is a point near Sanibel Island where the markers “cross.”

I'm soooooo glad to see that someone actually made a video about navigating the ICW and encountering other vessels. The wild west it was!! I grew up in Boynton Beach and we'd go out on the ICW on the weekends. It was obvious how many people didn't know what they were doing (or didn't follow the rules). A word of warning to all of you who go out on the ICW on the weekends in S. Fl, be careful!!

I grew up on fresh water lakes - just now learning how to navigate the ICW and all the crazy boaters in Miami and S Florida. I’ve watched SO MANY vids from rec boaters to the associations - yours are the best. I really appreciate how you give enough detail to be thorough while keeping it understandable. NICE JOB (from a communicator and filmmaker). Would love to charter . . . Not to fish but to learn more (hard to find people to do that). Regardless, keep up the great work.

That’s something that you don’t always see in South Florida, especially in Miami area. And, as a flight instructor taught me many years ago, assume that whoever is driving the boat nearby HAS NOT SEEN YOU AND IS NOT VERY SMART...that way you’ll have better chances of avoiding a lot of troubles... Thank you, Emily and Amanda.

I was taught that "right of way" is the wrong way to think about it. The COLREGS talk about "stand-on" vessels and "give-way" vessels because (and you didn't mention this) at the end of the day ALL vessels have the responsibility to avoid ALL collisions, regardless if they are the "stand-on" or "give-way" vessel.

Having watched several of your videos over the last couple of days, I can tell both of you are natural teachers . God knows I would love to have had such a hands on course with knowledgeable boat captains. A couple of hours with a delivery captain just doesn’t cut it.

Great video explaining IALA B navigation clearly and easy to understand. The one thing that most boaters need educating on, is who is the Stand on vessel and who is give way vessel. It gets tiresome with the weekend boaters thinking whoever has the biggest boat and the most motors has the right of way everywhere. Its quite simple to understand, the port and starboard lights on the boat work like traffic lights. if you are approaching another vessel and you can see his port light (red) it means you are the (give way vessel), the same boat will be seeing your starboard (green light) telling that boat he can carry on making him the stand on vessel. I know there are other factors that may change this methodology but 99% of time this applies.

Please produce a lesson on wake. Most boaters are clueless as to how much wake their own boat is producing. Why? Because from the skippers viewpoint, as they're looking aft, see no wake. Looks calm to them. But they are running around 2,500 +/- RPMs, bow straight up, unknowingly putting their boat in a "maximum wake" position. It puts others, especially in smaller vessels, in danger. And for no good reason. It creates chaos in the channels. Signal for them to slow down and they look at you like you have two heads. Larger boats are the biggest offenders. You girls are adorable and addictive. Keep up the good work!

However, we vacation in Destin, Fl. and will travel on the coast line in rentals. I'm sure growing up on the Big Water, like I assume you ladies did, these signs, are 2nd nature. But, to a land locked person, like myself, there is a LOT to retain. Thank you for your videos and your service to the community.
