Grady White Almost Flips - Boats at Jupiter Inlet

Jupiter Inlet is back open and today we had a nice swell creating a lot of angry waves. A big swell on this day led to one boat almost flipping over. It's not just the mouth of the inlet you have to worry about it's also the sandbar that forms just offshore. With the right swell the breaking waves on the sandbar can be a tough match for some boats and captains.

A G W has a great reputation as a solidly built well designed boat. It is scary when folks put their equipment and themselves is such situations. A lot of equipment wouldnt be as forgiving.

[@8180634]

So many people aren't from the area here with these boats, or just moved here. PSA for anyone having to traverse jupiter on a rough day. As soon as you get out the inlet, make a hard left or right, the worst water is straight out. Watch the sand bar on the south side, it comes and goes and can get super shallow at times, if you see the waves breaking in the middle of nowhere, there's a reason. When returning do the exact opposite, but be very careful of the shoal just inside the inlet on the north side, stay towards the middle. The south side does not shoal like the north side.

[@tomseadon9965]

I’ve ALWAYS done the left turn, cruise another couple hundred yards and then head out east! I’m retired from boating now, but I did it this way since 1973, starting out with my 10’ boat, 9.5 Evinrude O/B. Then in the boat I built in 96, 14’ 25 Evinrude tiller, day and night! Nights were kinda tricky, but after so many years of doing it, it just got to be second nature. Always made sure that the moon was out though, and it helps, believe me!

[@michaeldunn5197]

All I read was another reason the ocean scares the shit out of me. 😂

[@KH-qv8tk]

How about just not go out in this mess.

[@YoBetsYoBets]

@@KH-qv8tk it really isn’t though. Once you’re passed the surf, the conditions can be exceptionally better.

[@pauldaignault7407]

As the captain of any boat you are responsible for the safety of your boat and the passengers on board. Going through an inlet is no time to be a jerk.

[@TopSecretVid]

amazes me to see that no one wears a life vest/jacket. Not even children, kinda crazy

Grady white boats are the best

"Honey how was the fishing today ?" Oh not bad, but I had a little accident in my pants.😁

[@siebertz]

How often is Jupiter Inlet this rough? Is there a daily report on the danger status of the inlet?

[@craig2e46]

Must have turbo on his bilge pump LOL

[@guyloehr5820]

got to tell ya... I'm on the west coast, and I have never been on the east coast ever. but I have never seen sooo many boats with multiple outboards in my life as I do in videos like these.. the MONET alone is astounding in these rigs...

[@RoughInlets]

We like running far offshore and running to the to Bahamas. Running 45mph you can get to the Bahamas in just over an hour.

[@guyloehr5820]

hey, I get it... but man, 3, then 4 outboards.... my GOD......

[@josea5949]

You need or should have multiple motors just in case 1 fails in rough waters

[@jims6101]

Depends on where you are on the west coast. I see a lot in southwest Florida with multiple engines. It’s the smart thing to do especially with the long hauls for anything resembling an offshore fish.

[@1STGeneral]

It's amazing when a state doesn't tax people to death how the economy is able to produce incomes capable purchasing and maintaining such great machines

[@alan6832]

That unknown looks like an Aquasport to me.

[@martyg374]

It isn't always like this, been through there dozens of times.

[@Power5]

All these center consoles are boring looking. Do these many fishing charters exist down there or is it more of a status thing?

[@ajfrey111]

Unknown boat with Suzuki was an aquasport

There was a skiff that went out the same day. Gotta learn where the sandbar is.

[@Kapnwill]

3 stages to a wave 1 Swell 2 Crest/breaking 3 Broken / rolling 1 doesn’t matter 2 dangerous powerful and life altering (1st clip) 3 makes you wet but doesn’t break things Timing is everything.

[@lavrentichudakoff2519]

Those Gradys are some pretty tough boats.

[@lbowsk]

I know a guy who busted one. He never slowed for anything. They're tough up to a point.

[@paulkersey2179]

Hold my beer kids, I think I can do this.

[@josea5949]

OMG! That 1st one almost flipped over. What awesome video footage. Really enjoy watching your videos

[@RoughInlets]

Glad you're enjoying it!

[@9531-d7w]

If unfamiliar with an Inlet stay away from breakers and maybe hold back until a commercial boat or fishing boat goes out and just follow their line. Same with coming back in, follow an experienced Captain or your track on your GPS going out.

[@bodiesbyjason7558]

Damn they really wanted to go fishing

[@johntaylor2337]

It is possible that the Grady owner wanted to see what his boat could handle and or was showing someone what a Grady White can take. Boat never rolled or broached. Agree that he should have made a turn at the end of the inlet vs going straight. Lesser boats would not have done what this Grady did.

[@MichaelBrown-ny3et]

Why he went back to the center of the inlet is baffling. I’m really surprised no body was seriously injured. Those waves were surfable. Some of the other boats did the same thing. It’s like they can’t help themselves.

[@603ER]

The white breaking waves seem to be magnets to these boaters. It did look like there were spots with big (but at least not breaking) waves that would be a far better route choice.

[@CSJiGSaW08]

Craigslist - Grady White, very clean, no fractures or hull cracks, no loose bolts, never flooded with water on waves

[@Thundra74]

I prefer Catamarans (powercat) to see in rough water ! I need a lot of Freeman 37/42 and Invincible! Monohull have more loading capacity , more closed space under , if un need a bath or a sleeping room you need monohull! Catamarans offer better behaviour and comfort in rough sea! When you fishing at low speed they roll less. If you need a daily boat and dont care to piss hanging CAT are the way

[@seanraymond5590]

No way!

[@Irishcream216]

Cats tend heel less but when you slam they rattle your damn fillings out. At least a monohull will blade and slice rough waves a lot better.

[@jaymorgan8017]

I'm a newbie to this area and this is my egress to the ocean. I picked up a scarab 28' excel. It's beige and red - hope you see me here !

[@Moondog9322]

I definitely thought the KCB was the smoothest ride of all these. Grady White is one of my favorite boat brands, though.

[@5133937]

The light blue HCB 42 Siesta @2:35? I noticed that too, it looked very smooth taking the waves. Grady’s are known for that and are my favorite boat to drive in rough seas for that reason, but I just added the HCB to that shortlist as well.

[@Z-Bart]

@1:57 The owner may want that for a poster. That was an oh shit moment.

[@2thelight]

The unknown boat looks like an old small Mako Center Console also those symmetrical hulled fishing catamarans are so Superior in heavy waves to a monohull

[@emsalsa9385]

You wouldn’t catch me dead without a life jacket going through this inlet without a life jacket…sexy swim suit be damned-coffins aren’t as sexy

I think the unknown center console is an old Goldline. Real wide beam and used by a lot of commercial bait guys, which that boat appeared to be setup for as well.

[@robertbarone6724]

This looks every bit as bas as Haulover... cynical as soon as you get out the mouth.. definitely looks like you want to go left or right immediately

[@ChiCityYaker]

I don’t live in Florida so can someone explain to me why these inlets are so violently wavy? That’s pretty disgusting waves to have to get through.

[@bryanwalters1041]

Only during strong tides. Large volume of water passing through narrow openings. Plus, boat owners in Jupiter are just as bad as Miami. Alot of wealthier people that just have no idea what they are doing, and must do "nothing" faster than anybody else.

[@RoughInlets]

Certain times and conditions they get nasty. When they are nice the video are not as fun to watch so you don't see them as much.

[@8180634]

East wind and outgoing tide. Jupiter is narrow and shallow and the current is very fast moving, when the current meets the wind and waves from the east wind the waves can get big. There's moving shoal on the north side inside the inlet and a sometimes sand bar just outside the inlet to the south. Many people have died here.

[@ChiCityYaker]

@@8180634 gotcha. Very interesting and also very crazy! I wonder why they don't build a break wall just in front of it to possibly help. It's done here on Lake Michigan outside of the harbor mouths to get to the main lake. East winds can kick up 6+ft waves fast. Lake Michigan acts like an ocean in many ways. Thanks for the info

[@ChiCityYaker]

@@RoughInlets 100% understand. I enjoyed it but man...it really shows how stupid people can be while boating. lol
