3 PEOPLE OVERBOARD SWALLOWED BY WAVES! | HAULOVER INLET BOATS | BOCA INLET

3 PEOPLE OVERBOARD SWALLOWED BY WAVES! | HAULOVER INLET BOATS | BOCA INLET
Raging waves at Boca Inlet this weekend turned this into a dangerous situation. 3 people on 2 jetskis rolled over and could not re mount. They were battered and taking waves over head for several minutes before any help could arrive.
It was a rough weekend for south florida boats. Huge waves at several inlets including Haulover Inlet, Boca Inlet and Jupiter Inlet. We cover all 3 on the Wavy Boats Network and more videos from this weekend are yet to come out. Stay tuned and make sure to check out ‪@RoughInlets‬ for our coverage of Jupiter Inlet and more Haulover Boats. Don't miss out!

Scary situation. Why do you guys think the guy on the Jetski didn't help initially? 😳

[@daphnelattimer9952]

I think he thought there was someone submerged under or around the first jet ski and focused on that. He then maneuvered around the 3 to make sure they were at least ok. The conditions were too rough to help initially, but he went for it when he saw the male and female were struggling. He probably assumed help was already called in from the shore. The good thing is...he helped. The best thing is all are alive and well.

[@daphnelattimer9952]

@Justin Krueger I would struggle too in those conditions. I bet the undertow was fierce.

[@daphnelattimer9952]

@Justin Krueger I agree. I wouldn't have gone out in those conditions. No way. Are you a trainer? I need to lose a few after a long recovery following a car accident. Tips?

[@evanparness9509]

I am the guy on the green skii. I was out jumping & riding waves as I always do & understand the conditions well. I had noticed these guys in trouble from down the beach & went over to help. If u notice at the beginning of vid (within first 45 seconds) , I go over to check in on them.. i was watching the situation the entire time expecting them to get back on as they were all hanging on & had life jackets on.. to be out in those conditions you should be able to pull yourself up. There were 2 skis. 2 ppl on one & 1 on 1. One person fell off & the others went to help & they were flipped off by the surf & the other man trying to board the skii. They were all hanging onto the skii with life jackets on & they at first told me they were ok so I assumed someone would get back on the skii as the man was half way up. They wanted me to go back & keep their skii from smashing into the rocks .. I did not want to leave them but they insisted so I went to try and keep their skii from smashing into the rocks as I assumed they were going to get back on. Once I realized that they could not get back on & became completely separated from the skii I went back to get them, the conditions were rough & They were now panicking & I could not have them flip my skii as we would all be screwed. Knowing that they were panicking & just failed to get back on 2 different skis, i knew i had to be extremely careful trying to get them on mine without flipping me. These ppl were not in good physical condition so it was very difficult to get them on my skii without flipping in the waves. If you notice they never fully got on my ski & I had to literally pull them out of the water so they could get some leverage. Thankfully i am in great physical condition. I also had to drive extremely slow & careful as they were hanging off the back so I didn’t lose them. By this point they were in a full on panic. I managed to get the first two into the inlet & dropped them off on a random pontoon boat that was safe & went to look for the other man as they told me he had very weak legs & could not get back on the skii which is why he never got back on in the first place. They should not have been out there by any means to begin with. Thankfully by the time I got them to safety & back out there, the life guards got to the 3rd man. I am very thankful they at least all had life jackets on as it saved their lives. The average person doesn’t realize how difficult it can be to get a jet skii in position in conditions like that to make it as easy as possible for someone to get on , let alone when they are no help & can’t pull themselves up, without getting flipped. All 3 ppl turned out ok & even the jet skis both made it out ok. I had to be very careful & make sure I could help them so I didn’t end up in the same situation & making it far worse. Hope that clarifies a bit.

From experience in off shore rescue the people in the water are just trying to survive. The waves would be making it extremely hard to keep afloat even with life jackets and also the spray from the water makes it hard to breathe. Combine that with the fact that he looked like a larger gentleman with no fitness and basically he was hanging of for dear life.

[@hughlieck7286]

I grew up in the water at the beach and at the local lakes, swimming, rowing, sailing, snorkeling etc. I'm pretty comfortable in rough surf, but have never been in anything like that. That being said, with a proper PFD, I don't think I would have been worried about drowning, but I might have been concerned about getting swept out in those conditions and not being found. For folks who don' t recognize what's going on with the water itself, this is a relatively narrow inlet into a bay and on an outgoing tide(like what they had here), there is a powerful current moving out through the inlet. There was an onshore wind (wind blowing FROM the water TOWARD the land) opposing the outflow, thus the extremely rough conditions. The current isn't pulling anyone DOWN, just OUT, so the folks in the water didn't have to worry about being "sucked" under, but getting separated from the boats was going to make them harder to find. I don't really understand why the fellow on the jetski didn't get one of the folks in the water up on his jetski and transport him/her to the other jetski and let them drive it in and then get one of the others up on his jetski and transfer him to the other one and so on. They could probably have made their way back in slowly if they had just gotten back on the boats.

A couple more minutes and jaws would have been there ..and made the fat guy slot thinner...ahhh ha ha!!

Perfect example of cold water/hypothermia zapping all your strength extremely quickly. You're wet , wind blowing, no wet suit no head covering, but it was 80°.

Best comments of all on this thread.

Now that’s how you drive a boat 👊

[@karenmessinger9609]

I know this video is 3 months old but I praying for them all the way through!! Thank God they had their vests on & someone was there.

I can’t get over the rescuers on the rib not wearing buoyancy?

[@jig1056]

i know i was like these dudes are crazy

[@sethg.4127]

Two guys in the gray inflatable with red lights - why no life jackets?

[@wcresponder]

Stupidity.

[@davidbayles6494]

They were lifeguards with rescue tubes leashed around their shoulders. One of them should have been wearing the PFD as the boat driver though. Couldn't both go in the water at the same time, unless they really had to put two people in the water to rescue the boaters. Next on scene could have chased down the boat.

[@DOUBLEDEFENSE]

Lifeguards you cant save someone in a jacket GOOF BALL CALM DOWN

[@wcresponder]

@@DOUBLEDEFENSE Are you saying you can't save a victim in a jacket or the lifeguard wearing the jacket?

[@scottjones9670]

​@@wcresponder Trying to efficiently swim in a life jacket is nearly impossible, even more so in the surfzone. It makes effecting a surf rescue for a guard even more difficult than it already is.

[@ridwangultom7879]

It is very amazing👍👍

[@upclosevideo]

Ready good to see LIFEJACKETS on these people. So many you show play using roulette

[@11buleria]

They were crazy to go out into those huge waves to begin with. It looks dangerous and it could have killed them if they hadn’t had on life jackets.

Someone asked for jet skies the other day...this video will stick in my head for a while...WTF

[@fladave99]

Rental Company: Oh yes, VERY safe. Just look as COOL as POSSIBLE cause lots of people will put you on YOU TUBE with captions like, OLD MAN CRUSHES THE SURF or THREE PIRATES ROB THE FURY OF THE SEA. OR POSSIBLY " THREE PEOPLE OVERBOARD SWALLOWED BY WAVES" - GOOD LUCK!!!!

[@byronharano2391]

Jet skiers enjoying themselves and got into trouble fast. Happens...happy all are safe.

[@daimlerbenzstuttgart]

Ocean Rescue arrives pretty fast and did an Awesome job!

[@aannddiiffeerroouuss]

Not enough comments on the boat at the end...what was its issue?

[@mikesmith379]

Looked like the current started pushing them too close to the rocks and they decided to back off and try again. There's another video around here somewhere at the same inlet showing a big yacht that came extremely close to the rocks before they hit full reverse and saved it. Looks like those big boats get pushed around pretty easily there.

Boat rental company: "its kind of rough, have you ever used a PWC before"? Old guy: "No, never" Boat rental company: "OK then that will be $150.00 on your VISA. Have fun"

-Small print.. no one takes the time, reads the 'Small' print that ran the necessary 'Ks... in front of the basic $150 in cases like this.. And rightfully so, it's redistribution of wealth, a Natural Selection thing ;}

[@Andrew-13579]

Rental company: "Do not go out into the waves. Just stay on the smooth water. If you fall off the ski in the waves, sharks WILL eat you." That's what they should say. :)

[@chriskemper7627]

Natural selection!
