The hubris of people amazes me. I have been asked if I wanted help or a hand, and I actually tend to accept it even though I don’t really need it just to be nice and thankful for someone being kind. It isn’t often but I’ll accept it just to be nice and make the person feel good.

commentary has me dying laughing "soulja boy cranking"

There is nothing wrong with asking somebody standing on the dock for a hand. Especially if the wind is blowing or the tide is pushing sideways. No one is going to go home and say “yeah I helped this guy on the dock today” but they will surely say, “I watched a guy put his boat under the dock today.” I have screwed up myself and have also helped others. It’s all a part of boating!

“That’s what it looks like when my kids use the toilet paper” good one thanks for the laugh!

From the other end: Captains have accepted help from people with unknown qualifications and lived to regret it when they slam the boat into the dock with a heavy tug on the line, or don't tie up securely to a cleat and then the boat goes drifting when you don't expect it. Yeah - you can offer to help but don't get buut-hurt if the Captain declines - he may have been burned before.

I worked the fuel dock at a marina and some of the stupidity I saw there was priceless! I dont own a boat and never have but I knew more about docking a boat than the people who actually owned one.

James and the captain Makin it Happin

There is no way I would ever get in or near a boat when that jerk in the Reel Naui is operating it. I spent many years working Range & Water for the Sheriff's office and one of my favorite things was watching folks at the ramps and docks. On the weekends it was a comedy show.

Hello CCC: Thank you for this new boating video. Vessel Nauthy was piloted by a perfectionist. He was striving for the perfect placement on the trailer well it seems so anyway. The second boat that hit the dock was driven by a part time captain, that is 6 times a year & it showed it. CCC your narration is spot on, your videos always bring a smile to my face, and as a loyal subscriber I always look forward to your videos. Thank you again sir, God Bless you, your family, and all your subscribers. TMP from N.J.

Good to see you again CCC. I always perk up when a notification pops for your videos. Haven't seen one yet I didn't enjoy. Thanks. I'm going to get some merch soon.

Never a dull moment at the boat ramp. I've got a few over here in Washington state that I like using for various fishing and crabbing trips. Always cracks me up when you see a brand new captain behind the helm of a 50k+ setup. I'm of the opinion that your vessel shouldn't exceed (in dollars) your IQ. The thing I enjoy about your channel is your commentary. You're not some loudmouth who enjoys the sound of his own voice. Neither are you some young kid throwing out insults trying to engage the people featured in your videos. Without making names on the channels I am certain anyone reading this comment knows which channels I am referencing. You use wit to get your point across, and it adds to the story of your video. Keep up the great content.

Who needs dock lines when you have captain away from the helm using arm and hand power.

03:01 There's a reason for the safety chain. Many people will live their entire life never using it & their boat will never land on the ramp.

That guy cranking on that winch, I was waiting for music and a chimp holding a cup to collect coins.

Sometimes you gotta reverse two or three miles to line her up. Other boats better make way, he needs the full waterway to dock that monster.

I think that first boat had a few to many "waters" 😂😂

Good to see ya Cap'n. Hope you and ours have a very Merry Christmas.

If i had a boat and saw JMA at the dock id probably go out for another ride until he left You're one of the few I'd want to help me load my boat

I always appreciate someone willing to help out. I’d rather keep the gelcoat nice. Every dock I’ve been at the general etiquette is to offer help if you can.

With the taxes we pay there should be a dockmaster at every public dock

Thumbs up for crankin' dat soldier boy.

REEL NAUTI is wife and hubby team both total rookies. Shoulda started with a cheap boat to wreck. And a good boater ahould be able to do it yourself, in a few mins

The innuendos write themselves…

A dock whacking will usually lead to a “nah, I’m good bro” out of embarrassment when you ask the whacked. I’ll always take help at the dock. Hell, why not? It makes the helper feel good and makes me feel “more better” when I don’t get dock rash.

People are, sometimes, rude to anyone trying to help. I gave up trying to understand it.

Too much pressure, you made naughty nervous!

We all need to get together and help you buy a camera with a better zoom. I really wanted to see nauti a little closer ;)

I was hit by a spinning winch crank….right from the boat launch to the hospital for a cast….snapped my arm like a twig

There are people who refuse to ask for help because of ego

Coming in and someone offers to help me? Hell yeah thanks.

Just like some onlookers learn to stop offering help, some captains stop accepting it because that help may be a hindrance. I was docking my friend's boat, as we got close to the dock and I was about to hit reverse to stop and rotate the boat onto the dock the owner's friend jumped off with a line and quickly hooked a cleat slamming the bow into the dock.

A lucrative business idea would be to buy $10 bumpers and set up a lemonade stand at the ramp. Buy $20 lemonade, get a free bumper.

First guy was so damned experienced in backing his boat that he should have backed it onto the trailer. Second guy looked like he could have used a little help, but his ego wouldn’t let him. One of my sayings is…You can’t save your face and your @$$ at the same time.

Looks like the swim ladder is also down

I know CCC.. It is tricky.. If nobody screwed up at least 3 times, they are a liar. I have done everything, but only once.. I go out 99% of the time alone. I get offers to help load/unload but refuses all because it breaks my muscle memory. One big fu life times ago was when I took a friend out and he 'helped'. I forgot the butt plug, that the trailer was a roller bunk, and that the ramp was steep. You do the math.. 😅 I installed a cam cleat behind the nav light, and a loose line on the tongue. I can't reach the bow eye. Cam cleat holds the boat as I pull out. They have to learn from experience.

A little old but here goes: I go out 99+% of the time with it mostly during the week. If someone helps, it breaks my muscle-memory. I don't need any help screwing up... 😅 Tie up away from the Ramps.. Get the Trailer (Bunk-type).. Put the Boat on the Trailer within a foot of the Winch.. Hop out and attach the Winch Strap and winch it up.. I can't reach the Bow Eye from the Bow.. Pull out of the water but stop on the Ramp to remove the Drain Plug.. Back into the Truck and get out of the way... It takes a little longer because I am alone, but nothing terrible.

Hope we will see you soon, CCC.

Amazing how many boaters dont use Fenders !!!

That Reel Nauti was Reel S-----

@1:37 Truth! How can such a small area use so much. @3:40 "grab your line" maybe he thought you we trying to pick him up. Maybe try helping on the DL

Maybe they just dont want help because of the camera?But dont stop recording though,i like it. 🤠

It doesn't look like there were any life jackets on those kids.

Always so many examples of more money than brains.

I know when a certain spot on my trailer touches the water its perfect.

Why do people not use fenders when coming in to a dock?

If you were nice you would dock the boat for them…😂😂😂

I've tried to help those that struggle with their boats and captain of the vessel ALWAYS gets offended and actually upset so I've learned just to let them f*** things up

Yep! Ive been told "i dont need your f-en help!"

I just wasted time in my life for this? Nothing even happened!

Is this is a reupload? I am quite certain I have seen this video before

Whatever happened to bumpers lol!

no harm in asking. even if they say no.

How do you decide whose face to blur?

First guy: I would've gone straight on the trailer the first time. Why do so many people back up a football field to do what you can do from the 30 yard line? Second guy: Some people should learn to swallow their pride. Even if you think you DO know, why say no to help? Just stupid pride.

The water is full of the wrong people these days it's so sad to see the state of boating now.

Don't approach a dock without your lines ready and don't step off the boat without a line in hand.

What the hell, he was docked fine the first time!

lllllmao . . . backs that thing to the Atlantic Ocean!

Most "Capts" take offense to being offered help...don't know why, but they do.

The male ego is weird thing for sure. I operate solo most of the time, when I start to approach the dock my lines are on their clerats and coiled, ready to go. If some one is standing on the dock and asks if I want them to tie off I say yes almost always, I mean, why not right? If I have apassenger, I tell them what is about to happen and what they need to do, if you are a passsenger and we are docking, you have a job. Also, my hull is aluminum for a reason, I'm not saying I don't care if it gets a few scuffs, but I don't care as much. I don't really understand why some people will not accept help, especially when they are struggling.

damn dude. I miss your regular videos.

Problem is that novice captains have drunk or incapable passengers and are not prepared to dock. They need to prepare lines on cleats prior to attempting docking and instruct passengers in crew docking duties. Novice captains should practice low speed docking maneuvers in open water somewhere away from other boats to understand wind and tide maneuvering at docking speeds.

Nothing wrong with someone lending a hand I don’t get why people get so offended about that . I have asked people before and I have had people help me especially when the wind is blowing it’s always good

Never ever try to give advice, its like a foreign language to them. The best advice I give people is to take a class and practice. I might try to help a larger boat secure lines, but these smaller boats can be managed by hand... and I'm not going anywhere near a new captain's boat with my hands, that's how you get hurt. Most of the new captains rush too much, like its a car. Once they learn to slowdown, read the wind and current, and to lay off the throttle, they generally do just fine.

I'd take some of that naughty, please

Some people just shouldnt own a boat

I won’t help unless asked to as these days people will just end up suing you over something that is their fault.

You should rename this channel shadenfreud.

1ST STATEMENT KILLLLLLLLED ME

😅You can't educate bacon 😅

Who cares if he scratches that Angler. It's a POS anyway.

😮If someone offers you help eben if you don't need it you engage them in conversation and offer them a cold drink,i hate anti social fruitcakes who are just wack 😅, they do make for great entertainment 😅🤠🇺🇸🙏🇬🇧

Real nauti??? More like dipstivk un trained sailor

I think men are becoming weaker. Once that boat hit the bunks, all you had to do was shut the engine off and crank it up till it hit the roller

Why are rich people so stupid?

Commentary is most of the time unhelpful and degrading not to mention wrong in my opinion. Boating 25 years. But we do have a volume button and sometimes even another boating channel.

Do boat owners go to stupid school in Florida right after acquiring a boat?

not my boat not my problem! :P

A lucrative business idea would be to buy $10 bumpers and set up a lemonade stand at the ramp. Buy $20 lemonade, get a free bumper.
