มุมมอง 22K5 ปีที่แล้ว

มุมมอง 5225 ปีที่แล้ว
Anchoring requires equipment that every boat should have. Even if you never plan on staying the night, an anchor is a necessary safety device. At the very least, you should have a folding anchor on nylon line ready at the bow should you need to stop the boat from drifting.

How Far Offshore Can I Take My Boat
มุมมอง 630K5 ปีที่แล้ว
Seaworthiness is a very general term used to describe how capable a vessel is and how much it can safely take. Unfortunately, there’s no tidy definition for what makes a seaworthy vessel. Beyond the type of vessel, knowing how far offshore you can safely go with a small boat is based on the overall experience and judgement of the captain.

Grease Fires and Water

This video shows the wrong way to put out a grease fire. Make certain you use the proper type of fire extinguisher when dealing with emergencies.
Get a Dutch boat. Got it.
CE Seawothyness categorie A means a boat can take wind over 8 Beaforts and waves over 4m. (30 Knots, that is strong wind but nothing really heavy) Anything less should not took out offshore. The size mattes only a little. In europe this is a standard. Taking everything less is a human error and bad seamenship, even a A classified boat may not be enough for the ocean. Good video, a bit unbelieveble that such a video is nececary. Are there no needet licences in US to be allowed to go offshore or to drive a boat?😳
You didn't answer your title. Click bait.
I never heard of fiberglass being flammable if anything fiberglass is a flame retardant which is used for fireproofing.
As far as you like. If you want to come back.... different story.
what gets me is the number of people that say they would NEVER trust their boat on open ocean. Then take their boats out onto the great lakes, Ontario, superior, and such. alls fine till a storm rolls in, you get 15-30' waves, boats are vanishing in the troughs... 25 knot winds... pontoon boat in open ocean may be an extreme example but... pontoon boats are on the great lakes all the time... and get in huge trouble in storms.
Till you run out of gas
Would a firearm be a good idea? There are some dangerous people floating about these days!
A third out a third back and a third just in case fuel rule
Can boaters file a float plan? Pilots file a flight plan with the fss. It seems boaters could do the same.
Apply the 40%/40%/20% rule. Go straight out until you have used 40% of your fuel. Then, use 40% getting back to shore. 20% is for hoping, not to paddle. 😮
I took my kayak from Long Island to the Outer Banks so you can definitely go anywhere in a motorized boat
A 13 foot Boston Whaler is a reliable off shore boat with a reliable enough engine. You're fine as long as there are nearby vessels to assist in an emergency.
Too far
"How Far Offshore Can I Take My Boat?" That depends on what you want your life expectancy to be.
THANK YOU ! This is an excellent video. Even though a reasonably experienced skipper, it's great to refresh on safety. Great job here 👏. 🇬🇧
Been out there crossing the atlantic. Only boat proper must be bluewater sailing boats.all other boats less than 40 meters better not try crossing longer seaways.😊

.........half way
Actually the real quote is "if anythings gonna' happen, its gonna happen out there". Let's not dishonor Ron Rico now come on!
Sinking is fine if you can pump water out faster than in comes in.
HAHA. Thanks!
Around 6:30 the chick in the middle blows that up right in the guys face 🤣
LOL
@@theboatguy9175 great informative video, btw! When I saw that, though, it gave me a good chuckle
This says logical things, but the use of shutter stock could have been more cordinated
90% of accidents are caused by human mistakes? I'm thinking 99% :)
Good point.
Sea anchor should be first on list for offshore safety, but 90% of boats dont have one
Excellent point. Thanks!
Know your wheather report or stay home.
Weather is one of the biggest risk factors. Thanks!
Also keep in mind, what most of the world calls a hurricane, typhoon, malstrom, is a small craft advisory in Alaska 😂
Great point. Thanks for sharing this fact.
"How Far Offshore Can I Take My Boat"? How far can you swim?
Excellent!
Until it runs out of fuel!
That's one way to find out!
Excellent video!
Thank you very much!
The worse are people that see a boat as a drinking floating bar…. The sea, lake, and river can all test a marine to the death…. Learn your ship, this is not a bar, it’s a lifestyle…
Great point
How far offshore can you take your boat? As far as it will run until you run out of gas!
Good point!!!
Going to take my 19ft Mako 70 miles from Key West to the Dry Tortugas and back in May of 2026.
Let me know how it goes!
Great video thanks for the useful info
Glad it was helpful!
Not here to waste time watching your video. Just let me give me your gas card, boat and 4 trips out. Then I will give you a definite answer.
Thanks.
I go right out to the point of no return, then turn back. In the USCG you have to go out no matter what.
Yea, the Coast Guard have a tough job no matter how you look at it.
NOT TRUE. When conditions are so nasty the CG lives would be at stake they stay in port.
This is a pretty easy question. The answer is "half way". (Keep going past that point and you're getting closer to the other shore).
Good point
''Boat Basics'', not how far can one go...
True
Check the weather and If in doubt don't go out
I find the biggest issue out on the open water is the weather. Great comment.
I find what I'm out in the water it's ballast vs. beam when you are a drift, broadside to the slop
If you have to ask the question! The answer is boat and skipper are not seaworthy!
Great point!
You hit everything! Impressive.
Thanks for the feedback
💩 p
I have a very simple answer here, You can go far as the weather allows, You can go as far as your fuel can take you, most importantly you can go far as the helicopters fuel can take you back. I shoot you not I was 15 mi offshore fishing and a pontoon boat came putting by me asking where the fish were.
I can't imagine taking a pontoon boat that far out!
@@theboatguy9175 yeah I was tripping when I saw it, dude had an impressive beard I imagine he had big balls too, Not too sure about the brain
Good video. Terrible title. There is no answer to the question in the title. Title should read "Things to consider when deciding how far to take your boat offshore." This title is clickbait. Before anyone says the answer is in the video and that you have to use judgement, don't. That is not my point. If you put this question in your title you should give an answer in the video.
Thank you.
No worries!
You never actually want to find out the answer to this question.
Good point!
What's considered a small boat like 30ft and less or what?
There's no official definition of a small craft. Most of the captains I know consider anything under 65 feet to be "small".
I took my 21’ boat offshore routinely 50 miles. Mostly by myself. Had a few close calls and went through many storms. I had an eprib onboard and a good radio. No cells back then.
Wow!
Fabulous
Thanks for the feedback!
Always have a small outboard backup in case your primary blows. Especially when far off shore.
Great idea. Most of the experienced captains I know recommend having two engines.
