The Best of Crockett's Boats | Miami Vice

[@ralphholiman7401]

The scene with Johnson and Phillip Michael Thomas on the Stinger, hitting those waves off shore, and it's clearly them, and not stunt people in the boat, is one of the coolest boating scenes ever filmed.

[@331Grabber]

Russ Ballard's song Voices playing over that scene is burned into my mind forever :)

[@bb-us4ew]

Yeah voices was a great song to that scene and it's burned into my mind as well.

[@bb-us4ew]

If you look at the closeup shot pmt looks green in the gills about to loose his lunch

[@RichWeigel]

Yep Johnson used to race boats professionally back in the eighties he knew exactly what he was doing.

[@asifkhan4822]

Crockett’s Power boats were just as much a part of his undercover cop personality as much as his flashy speedy cars.

You got that right, pal

Was there ever a greater time than the 1980s?

[@V8AmericanMuscleCar]

NO!

[@jooei2810]

No and never will be.

[@CarlosHernandez-kd2vb]

Nope!!!

[@llorenstorrespr4409]

No. The sad part is, they're gone for ever. The only thing left are the memories.

[@nicholasborg9576]

Never I loved the 1980s

[@rkirschner7175]

Don't forget. Scarreb built a Don Johnson signature edition powered by Lamborghini Twin V12's. In late 80's.

THAT THING WAS JUNK..... MOTORS BROKE LIKE EVERY TIME IT LEFT THE WATER ..... CRANKS AND RODS WOULDNT LAST ....REGGIE FOUNTAIN CRUSHED THAT BOAT AT 3/4 THROTTLE IN HIS FOUNTAIN RACE BOAT....

Nice to see Lester Kosko in the last section there. The mostly forgotten member of the Vice crew.

[@ky42]

Man! I miss this show!!! I miss the whole decade of the 80s!!!

[@terrortorn]

"St. Vitus Dance" is a euphemism used in England for the movement you make when queuing for the toilet.

[@gmcenroe]

A favorite show of mine in the 80s, good writing, music, action and acting for that time.

[@yamahaxs6501]

the St. Vitus Dance (42' Endeavor) is now part of a small charter fleet in the Keys. I stayed on it for 3 days in July and sailed out of the Keys on it. It's in rough shape.

[@bb-us4ew]

That's cool that you got to sail on a tv boat is is still st Vitus dance or renamed?

[@billmorris166]

Just came back from Miami last week... Went to the marina where Crockett kept St Vitas Dance while hanging out in Biscayne Blvd and Bay.... Also the checked out the bldg where the assassin shot at Crockett on the sailboat, but killed the first captain instead before Castillo.... Was pretty neat actually to b there where all that took place back n the 80's ,and how much I followed all that... Was a surreal moment..

Tubbs dropping the lobster in the sea at Crocketts boat party always made me laugh

Don Johnson was also a very accomplished offshore racer. He used to come down to New Orleans and visit with his friend restaurant entrepreneur Al Copeland. Al was a very big offshore racer. You might know or have seen Al's boat which had Popeyes written across the hull Al was the owner and founder of Popeye's fried chicken

[@Lynchfan88]

I've got photos of the Popeyes Catamaran in Miami or Lauderdale that my father took in the mid to late 80's.

[@vicbittertoo]

cool !!, they used to race against Don Aronow !!

[@justgotohm4775]

Funny, I was thinking that watching the video. Calling him “a powerboat enthusiast” is laughable. He was a driver in Team USA, a world champion winner among many other wins. He drove with Kurt Russel in his crew, Chuck Norris was a driver for Al Copeland. They used to all race together, along with a half dozen soon to be convicted cocain traffickers. The 80’s were the pinnacle of hot shot, cowboys, in offshore racing, fueled by elicit drug money, propping up the industry behind the scenes.

[@vegetasolo1221]

Before the series begins Crockett is married to Caroline, with whom he had his son, William "Billy". Years of the Vice lifestyle (including a hit-man nearly killing all of them) caused their marriage to end in a painful divorce. Crockett began an on-again, off-again relationship with fellow Vice cop Gina Calabrese, usually when one or both needed comfort or someone to talk to. His other relationships were with a high-profile architect named Brenda, which caused him to sway from his duties, resulting in Tubbs being beaten up by a suspect. Then he moved on to Margaret, a New York woman who turned out to be working for someone trying to kill him, followed by Sara Davis, a flight stewardess who kept him company on her return flights to Miami (and died after one of the cocaine balloons in her GI tract came open); Dr. Theresa Lyons, who was a drug addict that he got help for in another state; Christine Von Marburg, who turned out to be a madam. He later met singer Caitlin Davies on assignment; after some friction they fell in love and married in a whirlwind romance, but she was killed over a year later by Frank Hackman. Upon hearing that Caitlin was pregnant, Crockett was driven to kill Hackman in cold blood. After Caitlin's death, Crockett had no further relationships aside from a brief affair with Kathleen Gilfords, but as his alter-ego, Sonny Burnett, he had flings with Miguel Manolo's art director Polly Wheeler, and Oscar Carrera's trophy wife Celeste. In his Crockett persona, he seems to prefer intelligent professional women, including those who are better educated than he is.
