I live in Sebastian, I have navigated that inlet with a 17' Montauk without any fear of the chop. The biggest problem when entering or leaving the inlet are the other boaters. They don't yield, they don't understand common horn indentions. I always wait outside or inside for the boat traffic to subside. Yes! The standing waves are scary, but not threatening. It's that other boat headed straight toward you at full throttle that's the real danger.

Monster hole! great surfing 🌊

I was never worried at Sebastian Inlet, and we would take the boat out all the time, 18 ft. boat. 😬 The most dangerous situation we were ever in was at Ft.Pierce inlet, my best friend was seven months pregnant and the guys were trying to be as careful as they could and it was like we were literally surfing the waves with the boat. Of course living in Vero that's not the only time then I was there, but it was the scariest experience as far as boating goes. Some of the best times I've ever had in my life where at Sebastian inlet.

Great video 📹

I have been through here many times. Watch the tide tables. You'll be fine.

All inlets can be dicey, but nothing compares to Haulover Inlet. There are a few YT channels dedicated to this narrow inlet. Boyton is so narrow it's considered a spillway. Wear a lifejecket!

I spent my whole life going to Sebastian inlet, I never knew this. We would stay at the campground almost every weekend and when we didn't we were across the river, and we would take boats over into the ocean. I never knew Fort Pierce was the safest inlet. Wow! I guess we got very very lucky.

Speaking from experience... if it's not under 2ft waves, it's fucking terrifying in a 19ft boat lol

I saw a guy paddle boarding the other day going back and forth across the inlet. Dude was legit.

Hey, Thanks for sharing this! Which season is the most rough in this inlet? I live down south around Boca Inlet and the summer is pretty flat always except a few days when we got some crazy weather. It's the same as up there?

Nice video. Try and pan a little slower. Just a little jerky. They have nice video handles that make it easy. Blessings

Look at the cross walk. I stay on shore lol

Are you out of your mind 0:42 0:42

I have taken my 16ft canoe with a 8 horse through the inlet on a calm day.

Broke my back going through the Sebastian inlet, ended up having to have back surgery to put hardware in to stabilize my spine. Hit back to back rogue waves.

I've been out here on 14ft aluminum jon boat 😅

Where is this inlet rated ? According to who and how was it rated?

Its similar to the Jupiter inlet which is a Non navigable Inlet meaning not recognized or buoy marked by the US Coast Guard and Army Core of Engineers. Local Knowledge necessary for safe passage!!!! I have to say Sebastion inlet is worse 😆😆

Haulover is bad

HA anyone under a 24 foot boat not go thru the inlet? Hug the south jetty if in a smaller boat and don't go out if seas are bigger than 3 feet. If Monster Hole is breaking DO NOT GO OUT!!!

Nonsense.
