Happy Thanksgiving guys! Where is everyone watching from? 🍗😄

The fact that so many of these people are oblivious to how much danger they are in is frightening.

A lot of parents should be getting jail time to doing that shit with their kids without life jackets. Adults can be responsible for the own stupid action but to endanger the children is criminal.

Jet ski dude just be plucking tonight’s date right outta the water

Watching from Australia. These videos always blow my mind. The incredible amount of money here is insane. But what stands out the most is the sheer stupidity. Don't get me wrong, we have plenty of stupid people as well, but that mix of dollars and no sense is truly remarkable.

I am absolutely SHOOK @ the ignorance of not only the Captain’s but the parents letting anyone, but most importantly small children ride in these vessels with no life protection!! Should be criminal!!

8:30 is just ridiculous. They know someone has fallen overboard, they can't see where he is, and they are powering over the waves and smacking down potentially right on top of him. No way they could have seen him if he was right in front of them. Gave me chills just watching it.

I love how everyone puts their life jackets on AFTER the boat starts to sink.

Dude on the Blue boat has like 27 people on board and he's trying to drive his boat underwater...🤣

The “save my cell phone” crowd are likely the same ones who would slow the evacuation of an aircraft so they could grab their carry-on.

Highly advised for anyone navigating Haulover to watch that. Rule #1: keep your bow above the water, especially if you have an open bow. Rule #2: make sure your boat is suitable for the current conditions. Bigger waves = bigger boat. Rule #3: "lake boats" aren't made for the ocean. Lake boats have shallow draft and downturned bows. Stay in the harbor with lake boats. Rule #4: if you take even one wave over the bow, turn around and go back in. With each wave you're getting heavier and sinking deeper, which means the next wave will dump even more water inside your boat. It's a downward spiral, then it's too late. Rule #5: secure all passengers before entering rough water. Rule #6: no passengers in open bow in rough water (judgement call, based on size of vessel vs size of waves). Rule #7: wearing floatation devices in rough water highly advised, kids especially. At the very least have them handy, and in sufficient numbers for all passengers.

Good on you for not only being a camerman but also a first responder and having the means to call this kinda stuff in. Bravo to you sir

I love the guy dishing out water with a cup 😂🤣.

The fact that adults allow children on the bows without life preserves is simply amazing.

Love how she’s desperately holding her phone above water while she can’t even keep her own head above water….priorities……

Nothing like a relaxing day on the water.

A brilliant teaching tool still today

35 year's coastguard This still gives me the shivers and a bit of anger to see such fools putting their friends and family's lives in dangerous situations why can't we learn 😢

I love how people who are close to losing their life are more worried about their phone getting wet. SMH

As someone who never goes on boats, what is the correct way to get through this? Slow and steady?

It amazes me how many Captains don't put the children in life vest when they are on their boat.😢

I’m on the ocean every day for around 40 years now ( with some time off for good behavior) but I’ve never seen such incompetence in boat handling in my life. No life jackets are asking to drown as well and once overboard the other boats can’t see a swimmer if they are lucky enough to be able to swim after some of these washovers.

I have grown on the water. The way these captains have everyone in the front of the boat and trimmed with the bow already nearly in the water is so upsetting, especially on some of the smaller boats. Those little boston whalers and carolina skiffs can do some amazing things, but you have to know what you are doing and somewhere like this is the wrong place to learn

There's a reason most the boats sold in Washington State where I live are closed bow. Huge waves of 45-50 degree water rushing into the boat hits different 😂

I just found the compilation I didn't know I needed!

I'm not even a boater and even I can tell and see how dangerous these people are being and lack of responsibility

”What could the captain done differently?” Stayed at home.

The fact anyone goes there is amazing especially in a small boat

Jessas. This is like striking a tree and grabbing the seatbelt whilst halfway outta the windshield 😂😂 Btw: 3:25 That long Nor-Tech was one hell of a nice boat.

In my experience, the time to put life preservers on small children is not at the dock but wait until you're in heavy waves and the bow of the boat is submarining thru the waves. Make sure all of the adults have had a few beers and just for fun overload the vessel and plow into the waves as fast as you can to insure the maximum amount of water washes over the bow.

It's appalling to see so many children without life preservers on . They wouldn't stand a chance if they went overboard .

I’m shocked that no one was wearing a mandatory life jacket, especially that young girl that went overboard. That inlet has always been like that.

After watching this, i love the coast guard!

What to do in these situations: 1. Get the bow up! Move passengers to the stern. 2. Use the power from engine to lift the bow. 3. Tilt the engines and adjust trimflaps to get more bow lift. And the most important, USE LIFEJACKETS AT OPEN SEA

I'll never understand how people can be smart enough to be able to make the kind of money to afford this stuff, yet be so totally stupid when it comes to things like safety.

Honest question, what is the right way to deal with this kind of inlet with that kind of waves? I mean, some of those boats looked damn big and really struggled. Better to power through at a high speed and try to stay on top? Just don't attempt unless your running a huge boat?

This place is always this bad? There's no time your exit/entrance with the tide and get smoother going? Only route to the ocean from Biscayne Bay?

Take one open bow boat, trim the outboard nose down, add lots of people without life vests to the nose and then just go for it. If you get into trouble, circle in the worst waves. Great recipe.

Not certain if the Sea-do operators are official lifeguards or not, but kudos to them for their rescues! Good job!

They did everything the could to sink that Regal, short of pulling the garboard drain. I love how with the bow down, two people stay forward. That's determination to hang onto that coveted bow seat! Insanity prevails. And the Nautic Star....adding power to scoop MORE water with the bow...that takes a special kind of captain.

There’s nothing like a daily dose of anxiety 😂😅😅

The lack of life jackets on anyone is amazing. Especially the poor girl that flew out.

2:13 The way the jetskier gracefully flies by while the family in the boat is screaming is hilarious to me

How in the Hell have I missed this Channel? Love the footage w/ the descriptions, boats, conditions, questions, & the situation Info displayed! Not gonna lie, the LifeLessons are the main appeal. Liked and New Sub Earned.

Mistake after mistake. Amazing.

I grew up around the ocean and having almost drowned on 2 occasions, once as a kid and second caught in a rip tide, I have the greatest respect for water, especially waves and inlets. Even as a stronger swimmer you have to respect the ocean. Being in a boat and having no respect for the ocean is a recipe for disaster.

I've lived in Calabash, NC and currently live in Panama City Beach, FL, and have fished and owned boats in both places, I know how rough inlet mouths can get, and I can tell you this: The problem is not the boats but the captains. If you're too ignorant, too drunk, too full of pride, or just too bloody stupid to realize that, when you're in a small boat - especially an open boat - and the head seas get that bad it's time to make a change of plans and stay in the bay, ESPECIALLY when you're hauling kids, you have no business with a boat. BONUS POINTS FOR STUPIDITY: If you're going to try it anyway, be sure and don't insist everyone put on life jackets and warn them to get a good grip FIRST before hitting the rough water. What the **** were these people thinking! Oh, they weren't, were they?

Not a boat guy but found this very scary and interesting. Just wondering if they should not be out there based on the weather, it depenss in the boat or is it bad maneuvering by the captain? Thanks.

"Forget me save my phone for the love of god just save my phone" 🤣

I grew up boating with my parents and I love it. But all of college I never went out with friends. I didn’t want to be trapped on a boat with an unsafe driver. This vid is exactly why.

*It wouldn't be Thanksgiving without stuffing!*

I can’t believe the number of people in this vid. NOT wearing a life jacket!

4:12 - I like how that sea elephant is laying down comfortably without thinking about the situation and certainly the situation is striking back 😂 10:03 - that black party is going for a deep dive

Having been in boats and on the water(North Atlantic) in small boats most of my life I'm appalled at the incompetence, lack of respect of the water, and uncaring attitude for passengers, on the part of the skippers. If they insist on showing how bad they are at boat handling they should at least put on a PFD. even if they are drunk.

I cannot believe how pathetic these parents are Children without life jackets in nearly every boat. Absolute disgrace

These “captains” are funny AF 😂🤣

Is more speed the answer? and in small boats more weight at the back?

I've spent years as an ocean tour guide in large rigid hull inflatables on the coast. It amazes me that some of these boats are clearly expensive, and yet the operators don't know how to run them and are clearly put their passengers lives at risk. Either they don't have to take a safe boating course or are too arrogant to take one. It's not just the risk of swamping or having a passenger in the water without a life jacket, it's the damage you can do to someone especially if they are on the bow of the boat when a wave tosses them into the air. There are plenty of hard things to land on, like handlebars and the deck itself, or even landing hard on your tailbone or back. To put anyone in the front section of a small boat in high frequency waves is incredibly irresponsible... you can see the slingshot coming from a mile away. Also the happy faces turn to fear very quickly after the first dunking. Amazing video and very educational. Anyone travelling through that canal to the open sea should have to watch this video before being allowed to do so.

Really makes you wonder how all those people have made it that far in life.

Where are the PFD's? Are they not required to wear or do you just need to have one in the boat for each person whether they wear it or not?

You're a KZfaq legend in the making! 🏆

It actually hurt's to see so much bad seamanship, not only the wrongdooers but you often see big yachts going in at high speed pushing up big waves and don"t care what they do to the other boats!

Big thanks to the towboat guys and rescuers who have to deal with some of these idiots.

I can’t imagine why any boater would ever want to be anywhere near Haulover. I imagine their insurance agent would feel the same way about it.

Muy bueno el video. Donde es exactamente. Dinde rento las tablas

I love how they always wait until they are sinking before putting on their life vest!

I like how at 5:39 the dog clearly has noticed something is wrong and is worried about it's safety. Yet the humans are clueless.

The vanishing of humtydumtu!!!...lol!!🤣🤣🤣

I hate when I stump my toe on a piece of furniture - but the hardness of a boat and these wonderful people being thrown around for my pleasure make up for the any pain I've had in the past.

As a young father I can‘t believe how irresponsible almost all parents in this video are 😱

So nice and refreshing to see everybody keeping it nice and safe and everybody wearing their life preservers

13:30 Judgment call to go out this day: 1/10 Handling of the boat on those waves: 10/10

අදහගන්න බැරි තරම් පුදුමයි හරිම බය හිතුනා ඒ විසිඋණු විදියට ප්‍රවේශමෙන් විනෝද වෙන්න ඕනේ ❤❤❤

All perfect examples of just because you can buy a boat doesn't mean you should. I think it would be a great idea for ALL of those boat pilots, and no I don't call them Captains, should take some boating courses before trying that again.

It’s wild to see the girl holding her phone out of the water even though she can barely breath, and then giving her phone first and nearly missing her chance to get on the jet ski

What are the captians suppsose to do when your taking on water going up and down? Floor it?

For All boat owners who don’t already know….. (I Have had boats now for 56 yrs and navigated the world’s most treacherous waters) in a following sea (stuffing sea conditions) to prevent stuffing and possibly sinking pay Attention to the following. Please note this is Not a 100% in depth look at stuffing but enough to reduce your chances by 90%. 1. Adjust trim tabs all the way up… to give bow lift. 2. If you have outboards trim them right out (not so much to make it Cavitate). This will lighten the bow by up to 50%. 3. If it’s smaller boat put all passengers or weight into the middle & back of the boat. 4. Keeping the bow up and light will eliminate 90% of all stuffing. 5. If you have dual engines use the left of right engine to correct the “ swerve “ when coming down or surfing a wave as the steering won’t do it properly or quickly enough if rocks or jetties are nearby. 6. Keep eye on wave behind coming up and use power going forward to keep wash from coming over the back of the boat and sinking it. 7. Remain vigilant to in front and behind the boat firstly then sides. 8. Never turn so as to put the boat in a position to be hit from the side by a wave, look and time your turn right and quickly as safe to do so. 9. Other than ships etc always hit waves dead on straight and with firm constant power to help avoid being flipped over on your back. This is not just my opinion, it’s fact. Happy Boating. Dave.

Lived by the sea most of my life. Learned early on that the sea doesn't care. Anyone taking an open-deck boat into those waters is a fool.

Props to the guy on the JetSki for saving people. He should have a “throw bag” a.k.a. a throw line. We use them in whitewater kayaking/rafting.

Impresionante pura adrenalina.

I don't know to much about boating, could someone explain what these people are doing wrong, or how they'd even prevent this from happening. In my opinion it looks impossible not to mess up bc of how rough the waves are.

It's always great to see people so determined to get a Darwin award.

Made my day right there, love how they're always more worried about their phones then treading water.

I've never piloted or sailed a boat before - generally what are people doing wrong in this video? Are they going too fast or too slow for the waves?

In 1970, I was 7 years old, and my dad was shopping for a boat. He looked at one with a bow cockpit, and the salesman told him "those are like a spoon in the ocean."

I grew up in a fishing village and my father was a nuclear submarine captain. Friends fathers went out to sea and never returned. My dad had a little prayer on the mantel in our living room: "Oh, God, thy sea is so great and my boat is so small."

I was a Boarding Officer in the US Coast Guard , nothing in this video is remotely surprising Idiots are born everyday and they seem to buy boats.

My grand daddy used to say " Just because you gotta boat; don't mean that you're a Captain"

It's a good thing Florida man surrounds himself with jet ski rescuers before he takes his boat out.

It's always helpful when a woman screams as loud as she can repeatedly, makes the kids at ease and makes the captains job much easier.

Oh the irony when you see empty lifejackets floating away from a sinking boat

So many clueless skippers. I once took a 25’ Whaler across Puget Sound in 8’ rolling waves. All it takes is a good command of feathering the throttle. Despite the rollers and the wind, we never got wet.

The rescuer looked so confused when she handed him the phone first lmao.

I’m stunned by the judgement of these “captains”. No matter who is on board, the captain is responsible for the life and safety of everyone in their charge.

After watching people do dumb things at haulover, I have come to the following conclusion. There is quite a few people with a lot more money than brains.

This puts new meaning on how to pick-up girls.

how satisfying 😍

I have a boat and love to hear all the “experts” telling, more throttle, less throttle, take the waves at an angle. My experience is when the waves are huge and don’t match your boats pitch whatever you might be screwed. I’ve practiced on big waves and sometimes you just never know. One thing you can control is wearing a life jacket.

It really amazes me how many irresponsible parents do not put lifejackets on their children. My niece and her husband own a 19 foot stingray. And under no circumstances are the kids allowed to take their lifejackets off at all.

Well, today I learned that being thrown into water by wave is not as easy as I thought (a few of the incidents I thought they would but luckily they didn't). I also learnt that it is harder than I thought to make people wearing PFDs.
