THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE AT HAULOVER! | Boats vs Haulover Inlet

That boat with the kids was hard to watch. Those are the situations that can go from fun to fatal in less than a second. Very poor judgement from the adults.

"Almost dumb"? Nothing 'almost' about it unless they hate those kids. This represents criminal negligence and stupidity.

Yup, dude should go to prison for a few years over that. That was way beyond stupid. That was like telling the kids to sit on the car hood as you speed down the interstate.

Looks like they were doing it on purpose for the thrills. Reminds me once in Asia where I was in a charter boat that had everybody piled in the back, until in rough seas the boat started taking on too much water and the captain had to intervene. As seafarer Joseph Conrad would say, "ah youth!" (and stupidity).

Sure has, the boat that threw trash over the side two trash cans worth. Go back a few months watch the video, stirred up a huge hornets nest of legal trouble for the family of the boat owner and his kid. His drone was right over head and his shore camera had close ups as well.

[@charlesrataj8145]

For people unfamiliar with boats, those railings the kids are hanging on are not rated to be weight bearing. Each post has 3 bolts that are held on underneath by just washers and nuts. That "railing" is just a perimeter fence to warn you to be careful around the edge. That's why it's not waste high like a ship. In a nightmare scenario, the whole thing comes loose and you lose a handful of kids with no life jackets in heavy water with a 20 ton boat behind them and props at wide open throttle.

[@cynthiak3376]

I have had a boat for many years (currently a 36' Wellcraft Monaco), not in Florida. I have taken safe boating courses from both Boat US and the USCG. On my vessel, it's MY boat and my rules, we don't cast off from the slip until people understand and agree. Alcohol for passengers is limited. 0 for the crew (Skipper (me)and 1st mate)). I designate the first mate. (Similar to agreeing to sit in the emergency row in an airliner) 1st mate is responsible to report to captain if anyone is becoming inebriated. Anyone does that, and I turn my vessel around, back to the dock and they ruined a nice day for everyone. Any non-swimmers wear a PFD, children wear a PFD. Everyone is shown where the throwable life ring is stowed. That may seem strict, but again, as Quint said in "Jaws" My vessel, my rules. The video of the cruiser with the children (no PFD's!! on the pulpit and bow!!!) makes me beyond angry - that was deadly! The girl a little farther aft has no PFD and is almost thrown out as well. This is stupidity and negligence. The "captain" needs to never be allowed to command anything larger than a canoe (and that is a stretch) WHY aren't idiots like this being ticketed and fined (at a minimum)??? Why? - PLEASE practice safe boating.

[@Elios0000]

i dont get how USCG at the lest isnt stoping these people? just put some fresh guys out of training in small response boat at the bay side of the inlet and start stopping any one with no PDFs. fine FL law says its ok you want F around in the bay like what ever but you go out in ocean and then its USCG's problem id be stopping every one these people.

I wouldn't even dream of going through the Haulover Inlet without wearing a life jacket. Too many things can go wrong. Since I was a child in the 50s and 60s, and going out on boats on occasion, I've always wondered why the rule was that you had to have enough life jackets for everyone onboard. Isn't that like making sure every seat in your car is equipped with a seat belt but you only need to buckle up when you see an impending accident? I guess somebody needs to make up the drowning statistics.

Those kids on the bow like that is illegal in Maryland in so many ways. Kids that small with no life jackets on when the boat is moving is one. Having their feet dangle over the bow like that is another. Kid falls out, gets hit by the boat before being sucked under and then they are chopped up by the props. Just going out with people in the front of a bow rider in that kind of water is stupid. Those kids riding like that is just insane.

There are "boaties" and there are mariners. The FIRST thing you do is take a SAFE BOATING course from Boat US or the USCG. You MUST know the navigational ,operational and safe operating rules of the road. AND understand your responsibilities as commander (yes commander) of the vessel. I would would wager most in these videos don't know port from starboard or what "red-right, returning" means, or WHOM has the right of way!! IMHO, NO one should be allowed to command a vessel larger than a canoe or ANYTHING powered or with sail without completing and passing a safe boating course. Nor should they be allowed to purchase insurance on their vessel.
