The last boat won against Boca

That Yellowfin absolutely won wifey was holding on like a champ and got back to her seat obviously wasn’t her first bar crossing , it’s amazing how a few extra feet LOA and a few more degrees of deadrise makes such a huge difference in capabilities

I give this one a thumbs for the information being shared about boat safety and teaching someone to drive your boat.

Crazy waves! Great point to teach everyone how to operate the vessel! Thank you!!

If you are heading out and waves are breaking higher than your bow, you might just want to turn around. Always good to see another day! Mother nature is unforgiving!

Great advice on always having 2 or more people on the boat that can be at the helm. So important.

You say boca whooped them I say the (1st boat) husband & wife team CRUSHED IT! Never panicked, kept their composer. Definitely not their first tussle with boca.

Those first guys had it like a boss and they took no pounding at all. It was not a pleasure boating day and they turned around, but again, they took no shots to speak of.

Such a great point about teaching a regular on your boat how to operate it. I taught my 16 year old son and wife because we do a lot of fishing, and You just never know.

Like other people here, first thing I noticed was the stern line the captain left in the water to get wrapped around the prop and the ladder the climbed up was left down. Also interesting no-one though to put on a lifevest after enduring a life-threatening demonstration of why they're necessary. And finally, no flotation device to throw out to the captain while they're desperately treading water in those rough waters? It's not like ol' Captain was the picture of health or fitness, as proven by how long it took him to get back in the boat - with no assistance from the ladies who seemed completely unconcerned once he got hold of the rope.

When the captain got back on board he should have pulled that stern line in or get ready deal with tangle motors in the breaking waves.

PFD for captain that went over and the crew. Up here in the PNW all bar crossings require everyone to wear a PFD while transiting the bar.

Wow, that Yellowfin is an absolute UNIT! Beautiful boat

I like the way the crew leaves the cap to get on by himself. Why does no-one wear lifejackets?

I can't imagine wanting to be on a boat bad enough to torture yourself and the vessel like that. Even the big boats are ridin rough. Crazy people.

The only bad inlet experience I've had was coming out of Hillsboro Inlet in a Chaparral 240 (24' express cruiser). As soon as we left the inlet the waves were 4 feet which isn't unsafe for that boat but definitely not fun. The thing that was unsettling to me and at the edge of my skill level was that they were so closely spaced, way less than the length of the boat. It was like riding a bucking bronco. I wanted to return to the inlet but was nervous about getting hit broadside and broaching. I remembered that waves come in sets so I waited for a relative lull and did a quick 180. Then I rode back in throttling to stay on the back of the wave and we were okay. A take home lesson among several that day was to always have our PFDs on when we run an inlet as things can change very quickly.

I really, REALLY like how you are giving: legit, accurate, helpful and possibly LIFE SAVING tips in this video. This is great info man. I would have never thought about the kill switch being attached to the Captain if he gets thrown over and not having another on board to rescue them. All of it is GOLDEN info. man. Seriously.

That yellowfin is a beast

That first guy just went out to prove he could make it. Could'a been a bet. Buddy. "Bet you can't make it out." Captn. "Bet I can make you change your shorts."

Would have been VERY interesting to see Big Boy go over the side. He really luck out not being knocked out. No way those other two on board would have been able to pull him from the water. It would have been a drag. Not the day to head out for that crew.

When the Scarab dunked it engines I thought sure it would lose power & show us what a Haulover rollover looks like.

Great idea on the spare lanyard!

Yep, the "Boca Beating", for sure!

1st and foremost... I love your channel! I thank you for capturing, editing and uploading all the entertaining content that you do! That said...I wonder why you so often call "FAIL" when people are just powering through. If a craft catches air, it's not a fail. If the passengers are stimulated and have to hold on, it's not a fail. If a craft creates a splash by headbutting a wave, then bullies through...it's NOT a fail. IT"S A WIN! If they don't have to turn around, if they don't STUFF, if they don't lose passengers....THE BOAT and CAP WIN! Give it to them!

Also: wear that vest! People are like "I can swim!" Well, not if you are unconscious.

Love your commentary lol

You missed a gold mine with that captain going overboard.

Always a good idea to leave mooring lines hanging in the water so they can wrap around the prop more easily..

This needs to be a sport. Travel a distance the fastest threw the hualover

the last captain was looking back as soon as you said hes not looking back lol

Saw some small boats in other videos of Haulover with more people than they are designed for trying to get past those waves. Some of them looked like they had kids on board and not one them wearing a life vest. The vests are on the boat but what good are they when somebody gets tossed into those waves without wearing one.

Good point on teaching passengers how to operate the Vessel for Emergencies it’s also a good idea for them to know where SparevKeyscarecstored because i’ve seen that happen several times that someone will go recue a boat to find out they don’t have a way to start it fYI i have always liked the way Wellcrafts handle. big Seas and that goes for their Scarab Hulls that can Haul Ass when you want them too I grew up inSouth Florida and spent many hours running the Inlets and Off shore on anything that Floated fromZodiacs to the Large Sport Convertibles i’ve made many Runs ro and fromThe Bahamas again on all types of Vessels and sizes minus Personal Watercrafts because in those days they just didn’t have the fuelCapacity or Economy to do so ? Most of my life. has been Motor boats but i am not closed minded on Sailing Vessels

That first boat did a legend 🙈

Note about the kill switch. If he falls off the boat and pulls the kill switch out, the boat may not restart when the other people try to take control of the boat (because they don’t understand how a kill switch works) and may leave the boat disabled.

At least the Scarab was vertical long enough to not need a bilge pump!

That vertical captain needs to be evaluated. Destroying yourself and passenger is one thing, endangering the lives of rescuers is another.

That Boca of sandbar is no joke!

1:09 the water is just pouring off the bimini top... from the UNDERside! That's something I've never seen.

How far out do they have to get calmer water?

To this day I can't forget the sight of watching my friend just about lose his foot falling over the stern right into a moving prop on his boat...looked like a well-done chiliburger hanging off his ankle. People think I'm too strict when they come on my boat but the captain should set an example for safe boating and never compromise

Captain in the water left his line hanging off the boat! Bad mistake.

Woman moves to get her hat = loses......... Wut? Next video, "the captain moved his arm slightly to look at the time, I'm going to have to give him a loss this round" Video after...... "the captain clearly scratched his nose, I'm gonna have to give this round to the inlet" I know it's all in fun, but ya man was either drunk or high when scoring this one.

When florida man comes home to roost... dude that went overboard

You got a winner 🤣🤣🤣👍👍👍

the yellow fin kicked bocas ass straight up tho lmao

That overboard Capt is extremely lucky. Not only was he not wearing his kill switch, he wasn't wearing a PFD. Keep temping mother nature and eventually she will win!

It still amazes me people dont take the ocean seriously

This is called drivie it like you stole it. Hope this guy learned to never underestimate the power of the ocean.

The guy goes overboard and they still don't put on life jackets. Slow learners? Yep.

I would love to see a yacht bigger than 15 meters in this conditions

Exactly we have to question this the thought process of these boaters and and please tell your guest on your boat to get to the back of the boat when you're going through an inlet

Seems some vessels could use better restraints for skipper and crew as well. Not enough to hold them in if it capsizes or sinks, but enough to hold them in their seats during hard sideways rocking and zero gravity launches. The skipper especially, since he can't hold on to anything other than the wheel and throttle.

I noticed once the captain reboarded, the line was still dangling off the stern/port. Good way to shut down the engines.

Is it harder to go out or get back in?

The last boat definitely won. I’d say yes the first two rounds were Boca but come on give the boats at least one win since the brought out the big guns.

I believe boat 1 should have gotten the win. The captain handled those waves like a boss. Judging by the lack of gear on the boat I surmise the goal was not to get out onto the open ocean. Perhaps they wanted to boat surf back to shore, maybe the passenger was a potential buyer of the boat. Anyway keep up the good content my man.

Nice lifejackets

Nice!

Insane

Bronco, where are you from?

Just gotta send it!

1:14..."Can't think of any reason that you want to be out of that inlet that day". It is not about the destination, it is about the journey.

Keep the bow elevated and keep speed. Even Bass boaters know that.

Yikes!! Big water!

The lack of life jackets is absolutely mind blowing, natural selection needs to kick in

No pfd?

Aaand LIFT OOOOFF!!!!! WE GOT A LIFT OFF!!

💪💪💪💪💪

Think I might take my John boat here so we can get some solid footage boys

Does that sort of thing damage the boats?

A life jacket is always a plus...

Boca was really rough that day

ah , at least no life jackets, freedom

The kill switch would have made that situation worse. Because the switch would be attached to the captain in the water and the ice would be dead in the water. If he couldn’t swim to the. They we’re screwed possible swamping into the rocks! Captain needed to get that line out the water before he catches it in his prop

Why no life jackets in such rough seas?

In "Captain overboard" segment: Note no life jackets and he left a stern line overboard to get caught in the prop.

come on bro the last boat one

That is not insane. That is how you are supposed to tackle large waves with high frequency. Trim up so you don't spear the bow through the next wave when you land. He was actually smart.

Old video of of the scarab pogo

First guys decided that hidden coca stash in sea is not worth their sudden death in waves.

1:03 How does this boat just not slide backwards under the waves? Motors have snorkels or something? I can see how this would be exciting, but...what could go wrong? "I got her trimmed up as far as she'll go Martha"

I totally get the challenge. I totally don't get the no safety gear.

The weather is too nice in Florida to RISK lives going out with white caps all over. Don't do it !!! Wait for a better day.

At least the 1sr boat want vertical with style.

I wonder if that line ended up in a prop?

I wonder what was in the long blue duffel bag in the first boat.

Lucky the big guy could swim well as none of them had life jackets!

Some peoples brains are smaller than others!

The Yellowfin absolutely won that round! Change that to a win or I might steal your boat plug.

Where are the PFD'S?

I sure hope the victim in these case must PAY for the rescue. Pisses me off my money pays to rescue them.

Of course, the captain that went overboard didn't have a life jacket... 🙄

I’ve never been to Boca, but are there any official city rescue boats watching the inlet channel?

Dummy had no jacket. He looked like he was barely holding on

Can watch this stuff all day but can’t for the life of me figure why someone would want to beat there boat up like that.

👍👍😎⚓

The amount of time you need to spend washing out all that salt water would be a pain . You can’t get it all !

Spent 6 years in the Coast Guard. This guy has no seamanship abilities whatsoever. I would have stopped him, escorted him in, and cited him for wreckless boating. Also given him a breathlyizer test.

LIFE JACKETS -- NONE SEEN are they NUTZ

The definition of a captain is a “person in command” or “a leader.” Those boat operators were not captains on that day.
