The Wellcraft captain knows what he's doing. One of the few that you see on this channel that knows how to ride the back side of a wave coming into the inlet. His save when the jet ski flipped was a work of art.
The jet ski was coming from the Starboard side of the Wellcraft making the Wellcraft the "Give Way" vessel. The captain of the Wellcraft did a good job but really should have given the jet ski more room. If the jet ski had not been stopped dead by that wave a collision was very likely.
Actually, he didn't do anything and almost got thrown overboard. The boat turned away because the swell turned it. He never touched the steering wheel. Just watch the engine.
@@dannysdailys Nah. He slipped briefly but wasn't anywhere close to going overboard. Looks like he cut his throttle as soon as he spotted the situation developing in front of him. And it looks like he was turning to port - the engine is at an angle. I seem to watching different footage....
@@pete7708 I don't think so. The Wellcraft was constrained in his maneuvering by the inlet conditions, as evidenced by his falling down (and leaving the helm) when he'd made the maneuver. (EDIT: The Wellcraft captain had turned BY MISTAKE! The incoming wave broached his stern!) In addition to the brief loss of helm control, there was a real possibility that he could have activated the engine cutoff switch, which would have had him adrift in a breaking inlet. The PWC had a duty to remain clear of the incoming and constrained vessel, for he had no safety-of-navigation reason to cross at that moment. (I think the Wellcraft may well have broached due to its slowing because of the PWC.)
Yeah , that's a good skipper right there . Very few would have reacted calmly and correctly in that there situation. That's where experience and being comfortable with your boat in rough water pays off . That situation could have ended alot differently, were it not for the experience and quick and cool thinkin skipper - of the center console fishin boat.
I guarantee every last person is a Trump supporter.. it’s 2 types of people now in this world those in reality and those that are as dumb as a box of poop
🎖️A gold star to the boat owner turning side on to the waves in a rough inlet sea, risking his life and his boat, to avoid idiots thrown overboard doing the same thing. So often lives are saved by people yielding when they have the right of way.
The skipper of that boat who had to turn to avoid the Skidoo people , he did a masterful job. He could have easily been hit by a side wave on that turn and lost the boat.
I'm glad to have watched a number of these Wavy Boats / Broncos Guru videos. Now I know to NEVER ride in the bow of a boat heading out into rough water, stay seated with a firm grip if I ever do decide to venture out, and never EVER throw trash overboard!!!
Totally different design requirement - most sailing yachts are displacement hulls ie they’ll never plane. As a result, there’s no flattish hull aft, and the bow shape doesn’t need to be “V eed”. It also helps that there’s a couple of tons of ballast on the fin amidships
That single sailor was a superb captain or lucky as hell. Guessing he knew the current depths from his sonar and had a perfect read on the wind. Didn’t even bother bringing his mainsail down.
The blue boat at 8 min 9 seconds is a Cobalt 302. Roughly 30 foot twin I/O boat. Normally found on lakes, but clearly can be sent in the ocean! I owned the replacement for that boat, the R30.
I wasn't sure what length it was but, was gonna also say, I'm pretty sure it's a Cobalt. Use to live right by a dealership that sold them. Pricey but, very nice boats.
Thought so. We just bought an R6. Looked at an R8 but thought we'd better take it easy since we've always sailed and never owned a power boat. Lovely lake boats made in Kansas. We will be traversing the ICW between St. Augustine and Daytona so should be about right. This is only the second Cobalt I've seen in these videos.
Agreed. That was me. I was nervous but my biggest day taught me a lot. Next day i was tired and sore and so happy. 7 hours to Stuart, averaging 7.9 kts tickling the gulf stream. Flying fish the size of pigeons. Occasionally 12'
I seriously need to hit the PowerBall so I can buy one of those Freemans. Everytime I drive by the boat yard down the road I have to stop and drool over those bad boys.
I love watching these videos they're fantastic I love the boats I grew up in a very poor family so I'm not rich I had to work my butt off just to buy 6 Acres with a trailer on it I wish I could have a boat just a Jon Boat with a 50 horsepower on it would be nice
I live in (on?) WC Sweden. And yes, we have some rough seas. Got my first little Zodiac when i was 13 yrs. We got completely different boats here. Fun to see the difference!
lol @ waves over the jetty. Been there done that. Some 35 odd years ago I had my little brother out on the jetty/pier/whetever at Ludington Michigan one day. Waves were a foot or two, no big deal, a few put some spray across the jetty ... Then there was what can only be called a rogue wave. I'm 6'4" he was maybe 4'8". This wave came out of nowhere, washed across the jetty up to my chest and over his head. The only thing that kept him on the jetty was my hand clamped on his wrist. To this day I haven't a clue what kept ME on the jetty. After that we went back to shore, having had quite enough of the jetty for the day. Go figure.
The Wellcraft was handling everything quite well until the jackwads on the jet ski almost caused a serious issue. Then again a cleansing on the gene pool now and then is a good thing

Correction for your video, the blue Scarab is a wellcraft. The white center console wellcraft that is immediately before the blue scarab is also a wellcraft scarab. His just didn’t have the stickers
Ladies flying all over the place in pain, one can't even get up, captains just like "Hmm, maybe I will keep powering through these big waves so they get tossed around even more"
In the Center Console -- Personal Water Craft interaction, the Wellcraft skipper didn't initiate the life-saving turn; he'd accidentally broached! Watch the video again, paying attention to the stern and engine. The engine doesn't turn at all and a wave catches the stern quarter! I'd already posted about what a great job the skipper had done, but he'd (actually, the PWC crew) lucked out. I think he may have broached, however, because he'd slowed because of the crossing traffic and his focus upon them instead of his piloting. Probably a good thing the CC's Engine-Cut-Off-Switch didn't activate when the skipper fell.
That's the only thing about boating in Miami. The Jet Ski's would drive me crazy and you have a ton of them. They're everywhere. How many get run over every year? I would imagine a lot. It would be nice if you could tie them up and keep them on Beer Can Island where they belong. Some of those guys are just plain crazy.
That wellcraft captain had his head on a swivel. Also the very last boat to come in, the intrepid with i guess wife and kids. That was a captain. He came in gentle and with authority in his piloting his boat. Imo
Everyone really needs to watch the video more closely. If you notice it wasn't the guy in the center console that saved them - it was the wave.

Man, that guy with the Sunray @5:05 should have has sunroofs closed, and those poor people getting hammered at the beginning of this video. I always wonder what makes people go out in these horrible conditions!???
1:00 Captain should have seen the waves and told the riders to move to the back of the boat. The bow can be dangerous in those type of waves!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We hope everyone was okay. How does this happen to a 53ft HCB Sueños with Quad Mercury 600's? Is this completely on the Captain? 😳
The Captain is not a Captain, more likely a Googan, he didn't trim the motors, speed was too slow, and on and on.
No liability unless it's a charter, imo.
@@sergioortega6388 they would be chum
Sit in back of boat always until your out of the ruff😮
Your forgetting the basic fundamental law of nature and that is the herd needs thinning

Huge kudos to the captain of the center console. They put him in a extremely dangerous situation. He did what he had to do and executed flawlessly.
Absolutely and with such quickness! I am impressed!
On his game for sure!
I woulda ran over those idiots on the jet ski 😊

Responsible culling of room temperature IQs 👏
That last boat was about the most perfect inlet entry we’ve ever seen.
Perfectly said!
More brains and less throttle.
Textbook!
You know, sometimes I fear people are just getting dumber. Kudos to the second captain that got his boat away from the jet skiers.
At this point just let natural selection take its course. There’s a lot of ignorant people on the water.
And man he was so sunburn he could end up in the hospital with that couple

That sail boat was epic
Sail True !
Wish we would get more Sailboat traffic through Boca!
I'll be back..
Sea ray was pretty confident going out with all 3 hatches open.
one of them broke lol
Noticed that too. One good wave over the bow. Not just one but all 3 hatches. 😂.
That wasn't confident, that was stupid.
The guy in the Intrepid at the end, smooth smooth entry man, well done!

2:21
Cap’n did some fancy shifting!
Full Reverse, the a blast forwards!
Good reactions!
That sailboat did great in the waves!
Thanks boss !
I was nervous. I was my biggest day so far. I was sore and elated from 7 hours out there that day..
I’m impressed how that sailboat handled the waves

Except when he threw his cigarette overboard.
That was a wet joint he tossed. Hands were full, or I'm sure he would have put that into the rainbow sissy ash and butt bottle at his feet ..
I know about the shallows in this inlet entrance, our center console with a 14” draft bottomed out once as we were entering and it was terrifying!
That single sailor was a superb captain or lucky as hell. Guessing he knew the current depths from his sonar and had a perfect read on the wind. Didn’t even bother bringing his mainsail down.
1:35 FINALLY!! A “Captain” that knows!!!
That Freeman cat made those waves look like a walk in the park. Very stable boats.
The Sea Ray captain absolutely crushed it !!!.
that boater had the best move possible endangering his own boat to avoid people... great captain!

They are great boats, but do rely on their weight to handle waves. Owned by Malibu's parent company now.
Sailboat is the best, not just here but in the dozen or so videos of this I’ve watched. Cool as a cucumber, at one with the waves.
I swear, there isn't a single boat driver on this channel that isn't three sheets to the wind.
Hello from North Pole, AK. Lakes are still froze over up here.
The freeman is my vote for best entry to the inlet. Handled the chop without a fuss.
Loved the sailboat going out. Saw a movie with the subtheme that 90% of sailboats motor 75% of the time. That skipper is ready to rumble.
Agreed. That was me. I was nervous but my biggest day taught me a lot. Next day i was tired and sore and so happy. 7 hours to Stuart, averaging 7.9 kts tickling the gulf stream. Flying fish the size of pigeons. Occasionally 12'
@@thunderclawhillbilly7507Was that you in the sailboat?
Did you chuck your cigarette into the water?!?! 😮
I think the Freeman and the Sea Vee did the best, overall in the chop.
0:18 Went from fun to not so fun pretty fast! 🤣
Great captain
Just saved two lives
The Freeman cat ate the inlet like it was nothing. CATS are just so stable in bad seas.
The freeman never a problem 😂
I think the HCB stuffing was on purpose. That guy was trying to get rid of his mother-in-law. 😂
So cool to see a sailboat!
Yes and thanks. I had a big big day that Sunday !
That last one yo!!!🤩
I love fishing and being on the water, but what would make people go out in conditions like this?
love the big Freeman, what a beast.

@2:03, absolutely right decision taking care of himself first. He had it cranked hard and was still taking water over the stern.
Would someone kindly provide a site that describes how to safely navigate such waters?
But then we won’t have such videos 😢
The inlet was viscous that day!
Sailboat guy throwing his cigarette in the channel's an automatic L
I was wondering if that was a cig. Pathetic.
He even looked around before tossing it. Yes, pathetic.

Captain of a boat is responsible for the safety of its passengers.
Going out is stand on, coming in is giveway, meaning the jet ski had ROW, but the CC guy knew his boat very well and all credit to him.
Yes they put that captain in danger. Great job to the captain for avoiding disaster!!!
Where is the captain's life jacket? They are all so stupid...they must be MAGAS!
Yes that knucklehead on the jet ski did put the captain in a situation, just lucky that he was onto it and didn’t come unstuck.

The inlet is NO place to screw around but time and time again we see boaters, jet skiers, etc think it's a game.
