THE BEAST GOES DOWN! EPIC BOAT FAILS AT HAULOVER INLET | BOAT ZONE

Haulover Inlet in Florida is a popular spot for experienced boaters seeking a thrill. Known for its challenging conditions and strong currents, the inlet connects the Atlantic Ocean to the Intracoastal Waterway and is famous for its rough waves and strong winds, which can make boating hazardous. Despite the risks, many boaters are drawn to the inlet's challenging conditions and the opportunity to navigate through it.

Boston Whaler Captain >> > The older gent you show quite often is one of the best skilled captains I've seen on your show. He's normally dressed up nicely & he handles the boat very well in almost every video I've seen. He knows his way around including how to read the waters like very few can.... He could teach a class. peace

Truly amazing how the smaller boats seem to do better than the big ones

[@BarryRudge]

It never ceases to amaze me the number of boaters and passengers who negotiate this treacherous water way and rarely is anyone wearing a a buoyancy aid, not even children.

[@johnfranklin8319]

It’s outrageous, to even allow kids at the bow in those conditions but without a life jacket on top of that!

[@eastbaystreet1242]

Yes! Everyone should have lifejackets from the moment they launch, no lake boats or bowriders, no children in exposed areas. It is a miracle there haven't been deaths.

[@markthatcher9925]

There have been deaths. Here and most everywhere on the water. It's rare to go a year without a boating related death where I live in MI.​@@eastbaystreet1242

[@Dave-bx5en]

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.

Stuffing the bow seems to be the national pastime there! Guess no one ever heard of using trim tabs and/or the motor to keep the bow up or "surfing" on the crest of a wave coming in. (at least thats dhow we do it on Lake Erie).

Knowing that there is cameras on the south jetty, Boat operators like to show off. They should try to be a better Captain instead.

[@cheapme1850]

@@keithscudder7136You are 100% right! I think these types of videos contribute to it to be honest. Slamming any type of boat in these types of waves and conditions is just looking for trouble and expenses. There’s a saying amongst experienced boaters that sometimes “slow is pro!”

[@jonathanhernandez4304]

As a true experienced yachtsman I'm amazed at the lack of understanding how to handle inlets. I ran difficult inlets in my first years based on some training from my father. Throttle control, angle...read the waves. Most stuffing here are avoidable. I'd say 10% happens on purpose by the larger more expensive yachtsman showing off and taking an occasional hit. But those are not epic stuffings....

At 5:00, the guy falls out of his chair?? As he luxurates on the floor, the Cabin Hatch comes open and SMACKS him mightily. Pretty hilarious

[@glenwitteman2585]

Good grief! Why do people treat their boats like expendables? They could slow down or quarter the waves. The boats with the open bows seem to be more dangerous when driven by fools. Just a couple of times underwater can put up to 3 or 400 pounds of water inside. Then it runs aft and destroys your trim. I have heard outboards don't function very well when full of saltwater. I do love the lines of the Van Dutch. Just plain classy. I am also a fan of bouncing bikinis. Great job, my friend.

[@markgrassl5585]

I think jet skis should be governed by the same rules as all boats. Within the inlet, say from the bridge to 100 yards passed the breakwaters all boats should be going straigtht in and straight out. there are just too many safety concerns for anyone to be horsing around in the narrows. Speed should be left up to the operaters.

[@tomtalker2000]

Pontoons have ABSOLUTELY no business going through Haulover Inlet. That is just sheer stupidity.

[@tomtalker2000]

I think Jet Ski's should be prohibited from the inlet. Because most of them are just hovering around the inlet wanting to ride the swells or the wakes from larger boats. And it's hard enough navigating that inlet for boats coming in and out. The last thing they need is a jet ski getting in there way. Where people could get seriously hurt. I know from what i've seen in quite a few videos they've helped people out. But i still feel they pose more of a risk than anything else.

You can really tell the inexperienced boaters, versus experienced. 99% were inexperienced. There’s a proper way to approach these waves. I’d be in barest if I were some of those folks. When you’re scaring your passengers you’re the inexperienced asshole. Can even call them a captain when you’re reckless. I’d really like to see an all high power boat series.

[@highwayman1218]

Crazy a captain would allow anyone seated unsecured, let alone seated at the front, watching those conditions ahead.

[@kenpatton8761]

Small boats were overloaded with no one wearing a live vest. Wave runners like to run this inlet due to the wave/jumping/etc. Last time I checked you didn’t have to have a license to operate a personal watercraft. You didn’t even have to attend a Coast Guard class on boater safety. So most of these boat operators don’t know anything about how to operate their boat in rough water, following seas, large waves, quartering etc. Most are running the inlet to give their friends a good time by allowing them to ride in the bow to take all the hard bumps and waves to their faces!!! Most of the smaller boats were built for lake/river running…not the ocean. I knew boat owners in Homestead that would not, under any conditions, try to run this inlet due to the nearly constant hazardous conditions. If they did they ALWAYS timed their run to match either high or low “slack” tides. If they couldn’t they either didn’t go out or they launched from a different location. Cheers

Can we get a stuffing analysis from first principles of boat length and wave spacing? There must be a way to angle the boat and set speed to keep the bow from digging in to the back of a wave while pitching down from the previous wave?

Most of this is people pitching into the front of the wave.

question... Obviously there are lots of variables that produce swells, flows, tide, and wind to create these difficulties. What percentage of the day is it at its most dangerous? Also, is there anything the city can do to mitigate the danger? Like put a jetty in or use a dredger to move sand around? Just curious. Thanks

You can’t put a price on experience, many folk buy a boat and have little idea of what to do. A boat is an investment and can be enjoyable but in the right environment. A decent dealership will always suggest and recommend things to help you get the best out of your purchase. Do not rush into it but take your time and the reward will be worth the time and effort.

I am not a boater and am totally puzzled by these videos…can someone answer a few questions? Are these conditions common in this area? Are these people who rent a boat for the day with no clue how to drive them? If they aren’t first timers don’t they know about these conditions? Some of the captains look like professionals wearing some kind of uniform….I would think they would know better than to allow passengers to be up front getting tossed around and banged up. If it is their boat you would think that life jackets and sitting down in the back until they get out of this area would be an easy rule? I really like when you note the cost of some of these boats…clearly the old saying about more money than sense is true no? Thanks in advance for some background and thank you for these videos. 😊

So I ask you WTF ....

[@Blanchy10]

That 1st stuffing. Sometimes a larger boat will do that due to the spacing of the waves. Look at the little Boston Whaler going up and down over each wave.
