What could the captain have done differently to avoid the crash here? Where is everyone watching from? 🌎

[@huwmather5477]

He could have been a bus driver lol,Australia here

[@ZYXWVUQ992Q]

I don’t have a boat. I’m not a boater. I know nothing about anything regarding a boat. But I can tell that big ass boat would not fit under that bridge.

[@paulkersey2179]

Check tide charts, maneuvered quicker, had fender out until out of the channel. Captain in San Diego Ca.

[@jimj2683]

Have the boat built from lighter materials and have stronger engines.

[@jamesranker6275]

Looks to me like he tried to turn around when he realized he wouldn’t fit. Probably should’ve checked that first and it’s not too hard. Most chartplotters have that information built in. So besides that he should’ve backed down HARD and straight instead of trying to turn around (assuming he was doing that. I can’t come up with any other explanation as to how he got sideways to the current). Once he was sideways, it was too late nothing can get you out of that with the current ripping like that. Edit. Since there are so many couch captains out here I have to add, since we didn’t see the minutes leading up to this nor were any of us on the boat, anything said here is at best speculation.

[@ELMS]

I’m up in Canada and I can check the tide charts for Haulover. Million dollar boat, one dollar skipper.

Of course you've read the policy; if the owner even had insurance. You would be better not to act like such a know-it-all.

@@rski1036 In that case it would be a “self-insured” event. So, yes, insurance would cover, either as issued by an insurance company or as self-insured.

[@nothingsurprisesmeanymore]

I guess the captain thought the bow thruster was stronger than the tidal flow. That was wishful thinking.

As someone without a boat, your subtitles is how I learned slow speed causes stuffings, thanks for that. Please continue to drop random pointers a little at a time.

It probably would have better to allow the satellite dishes to get ripped off than to bounce the hull off the bumpers.

The Nimbus T11 actually did really well. It is unavoidable to not get stuffed by a sharp huge wave like that.

[@stuartkidney3257]

32 ft Proline walk around/cabin - trim the bow up and plow ahead at 16 knots; take the waves at a 30 degree angle as appropriate; cut the speed when the crest of the water is about the touch the high bowsprit as necessary. Following seas are preferred, lol

[@cardcraze740]

luv the drone shots

[@catsandmusicandmorecats9146]

The drone shots are great, gives you a great perspective on how the waves are breaking and what the boat is having to cut through. But you better be ready to fuzz out wardrobe malfunctions! :D .. EDIT: Outstanding stuffing view! keep the drone!

[@farrdawgjoker7087]

Mystery boat looks like 1 of the corvettes but I couldn't see TBE back to see if it had the round lights like a corvette but it also looks like an early 90s Baja.

[@BrianStDenis-pj1tq]

The Formula 400 captain almost had it just right. The first few waves, he was going a little too fast, which caused him to come down a wave too quickly. He slowed down after he stuffed it that first time. After that, that is how you drive one of those size boats. You go slow, with the bow high, and accelerate just enough to keep the tip of the bow over the top of the crest. Going any faster causes the bow to come down too quickly between waves and causes a stuff.

[@paulthompson1216]

Is it always like this or just when the tide is coming in? Planning on visiting Haulover next month enroute to Islamorada from Indiana.

[@fatdaddio3796]

It all depends on the combination of tide and wind. There are plenty of videos where boats are able to fly through there at 40 miles an hour and the water is glass smooth

[@briankillian5248]

What most of these people don't understand.... speed is your friend. Just like on a motorcycle or mt. bike. You can launch off one wave and land on the backside of another, rinse and repeat. It's not that difficult. You just have to constantly work the throttle.

[@basque888]

In other videos you see the captain had time to stop before the bridge and reverse the boat. He just didnt reverse back enough to do the U-turn.

[@spiana01]

Keys to avoid stuffing in big swells on small boat: 1. Trim bow up as much a possible while maintaining sufficient control 2. Don't go head on, apply as much approach angle as possible 3. Gage speed according to wave. You’ll stay dry

[@TAZAR_II]

On the bright side, he's got some new portlight cutouts.

[@bertrandjean9460]

In France when you pass the permit for high seas you always have in the exam a calculation of tides at a certain harbour at a certain time , the captain did not plan correctly or the owner changed the program of the cruise and this situation occured .

[@Mrslam2000]

[@bryanfrew6603]

All he had to do was go astern, to try a turn in a confined space with a strong current wasn't clever. He's also throttle happy. The fuller clip makes the situation clearer.
