The Dredging of Bakers Haulover Sandbar in Bal Harbor (Party Moves South)

Haulover Inlet and Sandbar are known as one of the best tourist locations in all of South Florida. Some walk the Haulover Jetty others rent a kayak or a boat and go to the Sandbar hump. In this video I show you guys the process of how its all happening. Barges Escavators and heavy machinery have all been used to do this process. This is a private company that is dredging with orders from the Army Corps of Engineers.
Big thank you to Fishman Joe for showing is around the water.
My name is Alfred Montaner Aka THE KING OF HAULOVER !

Alfred, I might go weeks without making a comment, but I never miss a video. So once again an "Amazing" video and keeping it real. For all the newcomers, this channel is instructional in a vast array of topics. Boat shows from across the country, South Fl and Miami tourist tours, the famous Blackpoint Marina 'Chit-Show', Boat building and repairs, RIB repair and refurbishing, Miami River Tug Boat series, Kayaking, King of Haulover inlet, Sandbar parties, fishing, how Chum is made, and the most famous is the 'Sunk Verado' series. I don't what I left out, but I think this speaks for itself.

Alfred, Thank You for closing your videos with the American Flag. It's more appreciated than you an imagine. U.S.C.G. Veteran

[@nichesound]

Good job in documenting this action on your harbor.

[@brutalbob3982]

Alfred, There is so much more to you than the goofyness of your marina videos. This group of videos you are making on the sand bar are priceless. Miami walking tours, Black Point, Haulover, and now this. Alfred you are so much more than the "King of Haulover" my friend!

[@AlfredMontaner]

Bob i really appreciate that

[@brutalbob3982]

You deserve it Alfred, no other channel that I have watched has the diversity yours has. The night time tug trip, the various walking tours and of course the Marina's. People can come to Miami and find their way around certain areas just because of you. Also thanks to Mrs M. for delivering meals to keep you motor running!

[@maxnichols1727]

Alfred, you are the best. You bring reality to your videos. These videos are not just entertaining but educational as well. Give THANKS to Fisherman Joe, what a wealth of knowledge. Keep up the great work.

[@josecapablanca2351]

I loved the Spanish to English use of "el dia de mañana", Alfred says "the day of tomorrow".Lmao

[@josecapablanca2351]

Go to 6:23 and listen. Te la comistes

[@danielkeirsteadsr6939]

I love the Pelicans riding on the fishing boat and the kind Captain feeding them the leftovers. If he is a little slow dishing it up, they give him a little tap on the back. So cute.

[@danielkeirsteadsr6939]

Really Great what they are doing. It is a never-ending job. Mother nature will keep them employed for ever.

[@karaDee2363]

The Pelicans on Joe's boat are so adorable!...lol

[@MinorcanMullet]

THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKIN' ABOUT!!!! Good stuff!! MM

[@stephenjump4218]

Alfred you need to do more videos with joe at least once a week or so it makes for better content and joe seems to be a really cool guy to hang out with, this video is very informative and unique

[@jon9178]

Great perspective of what's going on. I hope people appreciate the time it takes to piece together s story like you did. Alfred, you have a true talent on many levels, its always fun and exciting to see the next crazy, fun, or even serious adventure you bring us along on..

[@noellaboy7980]

The blue tug is awesome!

[@merrywissemes]

Very neat seeing these guys busting their ass against the relentlessness of the ocean.

[@tonyarsenault4256]

Love this video ! Really like seeing what it takes to maintain all these water ways !

[@randiD123]

Super cool. 👍

[@demon817]

I was lucky I grew up on Bay Harbor Island and that sand bar you are showing well back in the 70's that he area was 30 to 50 feet deep and loaded with fish, spanish mackeral would load up there in the winter run. The marina was busy with the drift boats and super off shore fishing. That was a major breading ground for fish and is totally destroyed. There was the wooden fishing pier destroyed by a hurricane. The beach area was loaded every weekend with 10's of thousands of kids and all kind of partying going on till they ran everyone out in the 80's and started the pay for parking crap. It's now a crapy beach that is polluted from the bay water and the sewer that pumps off shore. 😔

[@chriskemper7627]

Thanks for the update guys!

[@noellaboy7980]

Morning Alfred!

[@GediSpock]

This has been ace to watch. Thanks Alfred.

[@jonathantakield6586]

Such a great episode. 👍🏽

[@ronaldjoyce7374]

Very cool Alfred! I’ve seen dredging of harbors in Lake Michigan and the Chicago River, it’s a long drawn out process but pretty cool to watch and learn. Thanks for the video, Ron

[@reneap9049]

Very interesting! Thank you!

[@stephengreen3277]

Good job Alfred

[@eli58173]

Nice work Alfred 👏 👌

[@FATHERSOFBASS]

Nice.. I love to see what’s going on out there that’s awsome you show us all different aspects of the areas out there to us here in Washington where it’s freezing lol

[@GeorgeBonez]

Ex-ski-vator? You crack me up Alfred! Lol

[@GHOSTINPLAINSIGHT]

Great documentation Alfred! Looking forward to the rest of the story. And stay off Joe’s boat. That salty pelican will just get you in trouble at home!

[@carlosrodriguez5900]

Thanks for video..

[@marke9497]

Alfred, we would love to see the discharge area once they start the operation.

[@A.Matt7]

in socal they dredge our harbor entrance as it causes a saftey hazzard. They have a 220ft drege with a 52ft beam that dredges 6-7 weeks during day and night. Same style dredge(cutter suction dredge) just bigger

[@IbrahimHyderiGoth]

that first was nice

[@tonyciriello6872]

Alfred, love your show. What is the tide change in South Florida? Its a lot here in MA. A sand bar at Cape Cod would have to be above water at low tide in order to stand on it at high tide.

[@piercelaw5459]

Nice coverage Alfred. The US Army Corps of Engineers offers to private construction contractors (who are qualified and bonded) the opportunity to bid on and receive award for a very specific, highly detailed engineered scope of work. If you are awarded the contract, you, as the contractor, must proceed through a very specific step by step process that is approved by the Corps. I have worked for the Corps as a contractor and find them to be the most disciplined construction group in the world. And, BTW, they pay dearly for that reputation.

[@MikeyDee25]

The KING OF HAULOVER is now DOCUMENTING the changes being made to his realm at the HAULOVER SANDBAR. Always expect nothing less than amazingness from ALFRED MONTANER! Waaaaait for it!!!

[@AlfredMontaner]

Mikey your "G"

[@danielkeirsteadsr6939]

Alfred love to meet you. If you are ever up near Stump Creek Hollow, Arkansas just drop in. We can always put another quart of water in the stew and kick the dog off the couch. Even Yankees love you Bro. LOL.😊

[@P.Rack25]

That blue tug needs some PadXpress. :-)

[@Joel-vb5cr]

I want to see a video of them relocating the sand onto the beach or wherever you said they place it.

[@christinecalifornia8136]

Always a sad day when one's favorite party spot is taken away!! Where does all the sand go that they remove.

[@andynyman1730]

Hey Alpert what you should do is make a series out of this

[@noellaboy7980]

Question? Is the skiff just a safety vessel, or does it serve another purpose?😎

[@AlfredMontaner]

Transporting people mostly and pulling the floating pipes

[@waynehouska2550]

Hey Yall, Is there a Gold Catching Screen t the end of the Hose?? I would love to treasure hunt that area!!

[@TOM-C.]

might have missed the purpose of all this, but it would be more interesting to know exactly why, and where they are moving this sand to?

[@southsidexpress]

we need to educate you on proper names of heavy equipment no offense lol. great stuff I enjoy all your videos.

[@migueltrujillo5932]

Little sand never hurt anybody.

[@gatorade2366]

So Alfred will there no longer be a haulover sandbar

Seriously? That tug boat made it from Jacksonville to Miami?

[@alexmikhael5061]

[@Puddlepiratesince1953]

The good part is now we dont have to listen to that crappy Cuban salsa music and reggaeton. We used to listen to proper Caribbean music until the Cuban takeover. Miami would be a great place without Cubans.

Alfred, please stop using the word crazy for everything. Things are not crazy they're interesting maybe but not crazy if you come how many times you say the word crazy in your videos you would understand why it's annoying. Other than that I really like your videos.

Thanks for the showing us how Army Corp and it’s subcontractors keep our waterways safe. Our family took our 35 foot sailboat from the Great Lakes through the Erie Canal down the eastern seaboard to Key West. None of our trip would have been possible without the efforts of the Army Corp. American flag - God Bless America. How lucky We are.

[@piercelaw5459]

Want to interview the top dog on the project? Ask any of the crew to speak to the "Contacting Officer". The Contacting Officer is "god" (small g) over all Corps projects.. Like all "gods" this person may be a benevolent dictator seeking the good for all OR a tin-pot-selfish-dictator looking to line his pockets.

[@josefastboats5874]

Well that sucks, another great political proposition to remove another fun hang out spot from Miami. Ahhh..... What’s next ?? The Haulover marina too??? Just show your true intentions and build beaches for just the rich and close off the public ones for good. Isn’t that the plan ???
