FYI - this is my husband that is the captain, with decades of experience in docking a boat even much larger than this one. No bow thrusters involved. But before you crackerjacks who slam Captain Harvey Shiflet, you may just want to google search one of the best, most experienced, skilled Captains in the Sportfishing world. His reputation is enviable. And to those of you with the many kind compliments who either know him or were there that memorable day, as was I, thank you!
Honestly nobody cares if he's the "best captain in the world" there's this thing called etiquette which he clearly doesn't have
@@blewyd you're an idiot. He was 5 minutes away from missing the deadline to weigh in a fish possibly worth 90k. Anybody who is truly into boating would love this video
@@blewyd I'm sure you have a 60 foot sportfish that your bring into the slip or dock on the daily. Until you've done it sit down and relax. This captain is racing to make the deadline for 90k which was 5 minutes away. He doesn't come Into the docks like this ever except for when it's needed so just chill out with the etiquette bullshit.
@@redpower1466 Wheres your boat? Im sitting in the cockpit of my hatteras yacht currently. I am 15 years old and I dock the boat by myself... This would never be allowed at our marina or any other marina in the North East. Thank you for repeating a comment that was from 5 months ago. Sit down and relax because I have done it. Many times.
@@blewyd Wow first of all It's replying not repeating but good try second your 15 and own your own Hatteras Yacht? That's sweet man your so cool I wanna be like you when I grow up too. I've docked multiple large boats as well as smaller boats tons of times and I am by no means the best to ever do it but that merchant mariner credential card that has my name on it says I know something about running a boat. Also I'm happy you can dock you vessel all by yourself because that's something that 90 Percent of boat owners can do with no problem I'm so proud of you 😂 Go to any big time offshore tournament and you will see people racing the clock do this all the time. When 100000 dollars and up is on the line you do what you have to do, I never said this is how you should come up to any marina and do this because that's not true but when it's a big time tourny and big money is on the line this happens all the time I've seen it a bunch
Pretty skilful. But after many mechanical failures I’ve learned the hard way that you should never go faster than you’re willing to hit something.
We have a bridge by our house and when the tide is moving, and you are in anything more than a jon boat, you better be close to 10-15mph (depending on length and width of boat you are in) because if not, it is only about 10-11' wide and about 30' long (with fiberglass bump boards on either side of the pilons. I have hit a few times, nothing too major but when wind and tide aren't playing nice together then it's not easy at all. I have seen $200k boats hit very hard and heard sounds of fiberglass cracking and wives yelling at the same time! Haha. People that try to idle through it always hit because they can't control the bow when the current rips a damn near horseshoe around that bridge.
That single spot takes some balls and confidence to do correctly but once a person has the hang of it can pretty much handle most other situations. However, nothing larger than a 42' scarrab can effectively go through it so they have to dock at the marina on the other side of that. All houses in the subdivision behind the bridge have water access and boat slips so it is usually bay boats and a few light offshore vessels.
Agree!
Thats called showboat and its horseshyt.
Ok now I see my docking skills as being equivalent to the driving skills of a 5 year old girl who drives a plastic pink Miata. That’s the marine version of stunt driving! What a master!!
I was here for this. They were less than 5 minutes from cutoff time for weigh in. He was rushing to beat deadline and not lose $90k prize money.
Exactly. And memorable.
That’s awesome
Ha ha ok. I thought they were cheering him for docking his boat. I was like ok it’s not that special but I didn’t know he had 90,000 reasons for it. 👍
From the captain's wife's channel description of this event: After wrestling a 484.4 blue marlin for over 5 hours, angler Drew Wilkinson of Virginia Beach, Va., finally manages to boat this blue on the Anticipation. With the expertise of the seasoned Captain Harvey Shiflet at the helm, this big blue now holds the record for the largest fish weighed in over 20 years at the Marina at Edisto Beach. This amazing video shows the Captain and crew of the Anticipation rushing in with only a couple of minutes to spare before scales close. Watch the expert docking by Captain Harvey all while under the pressure of the clock - what follows is the much deserved celebration of this very special moment in the history of the Edisto Invitational Billfish Tournament. The Anticipation is a 61’ Spencer Yacht owned by Paul Coury and Captained by Harvey Shiflet since she was purchased in 2013.
This was at the edisto island marina during the Governors cup. Captain did an excellent job. The current rips threw that marina and the wind coming off the condo makes it worse. I’ve docked here and watched many others dock. It’ll humble all but the best because you can tell how fast the current is.
There is docking like a pro and docking like a gentleman
Mike Loch this was neither, unfortunately
That skipper definitely knows his boat, sweet!
below are the opinions of master seamen form the world over. Oh never mind, they are from the internet.
Donstor1 fucking lol - these turds have no clue they are fishing a tournament and need to dock up to make a time cutoff and act like swinging a 50’ sport fish into dock like that is either easy/or the captain is a moron/he’s going to blow the transmission of the boat up LOL like those boats aren’t designed to constantly be shifted backing down on fish
Dan Evan Fishing Was okday
I can tell you never worked in the maritime industry. This is weekend warrior type stuff. I’d stack every single boat in the tournament together and do it in the fog at night. We do that for a living 24/7. My 3rd mate is laughing at this.
amen brother
Capt. knows his boat!
until he slips or has a malfunction then he knows how to crash fast.
That Capt did a fantastic job. The current appeared to be pulling pretty hard to me. A 5 or 7 knot current ain’t no joke even with a small boat.
Stern to rudder at midship. These rigs drive like a dream.super responsive . Nice job boys sc represent !!!!
Really amazing!!!
Some commenters might not know he had minutes to spare to weigh a possible winning fish. Owner gave permission to get it done.
Chip Hill exactly
Owner of the boat or owner of the dock?
Owner of the boat. The dock was undamaged.
@@chiphill4856 mate I have been around boats my whole life and can tell that was a skillet who knew what he was doing. Came in hot but knew he had enough blokes to stop it from damaging the boat majorly, I'm impressed.
Do most of these guys hire captains?
well done....thumbs up...!!!
Legend in his own mind!
When you got 60sec to make weight in!!
MIAthe305 lol
After he docks like a pro, he's going to need someone to do gelcoat repair like a pro and possibly someone to do some transmission work like a pro.
Yep.......sorry, not impressed.
Trans arent built for this type of gear shift.
@@A.Matt7 Sure is, its not like a car's transmission, the water has give in it. As long as he returned the engines to idle speed, he could not hard anything, which he did evidently when backing down and pausing. Also, thats a painted hull, and there were dock gaurds.
you guys must be a lot of fun on the water.
Jaime Mierow that’s exactly what I just thought
If I only had 60 seconds to bank 90k I'd probably burn both clutches and trade some paint to. It's a contact sport when money and contracts are the line.
So badass
Man knows the boat 🤷🏻♂️ looked pretty flawless
Granted its not easy docking a 60 ft custom. BUT!! These guys do it everyday from may through september. He should be a pro lol
its really easy to dock a 60 foot boat. they make captains look like morons who all need to show off and have tiny balls
Черт блин! Умничька! 👌💪😄🔥
lol! people are such haters! Get a life!
That was pretty skilled!!
big tuna little brain.
He was out a motor also
people are so odd lol they dont got a clue, all this hate what are you doing with your life cmon lol its a tournament with money on the line and all of a sudden everyone's a captain give me a break
LIKE A GLOVE
Docking like a pro doesn't usually mean having several men on the dock to keep you from slamming into it!
Looked pretty textbook to me.
You obviously don’t have any experience around sports fishing boats
You’re insane if you believe those two guys made any impact on the boats movement
Once again someone commenting on something they know nothing about
Try that with a single screw. Not that would be impressive lol
Hot doging it. 😎👍🏼
that one angle was evidence for the cops!
There goes 3 gallons of diesel while in reverse full speed
and then win 100k shut up
Damn I was just there s week a go edisto sc bill fish
Just gotta be a cowboy. Reminds me of smokey and the bandit showing off.
pate allan Hold my hat
cowboys rarely show off, people who need attention do.
What song is in your entry
Must have had to take a wicked dump😅
Jason Worth
F U
My mother passed less then a year ago.
Looks like he's never done that before
Rodney Pratt you’re being sarcastic correct?
He will do it many times to docked like a crazy But the time when he won't be able to kick forward to stop her the day when he will stop UP on the pier that will be the day he will always rember............
Como se llama ese barco?
I think he may have done this before a couple of times........ looks like tricky conditions too?
Sweet sweet black smoke
what is that bass intro called
Jim Daugherty it’s actually called go fuck yourself like that’s seriously what it’s called I’m not just being a dick
Hold my beer watch this shit!!!
Nice Smoking, Greta hate it!
When you know how to handle twin screws, who needs thrusters?
No fenders? 🤔
He needs to service those engines they are smoking like diesels!!!
First time i bet lol
When you don’t have to pay when something goes wrong....
I was actually there watching them come in. What people don’t know is that they were down a motor and that was why everyone on the docks was holding boats back.
Nope, definitely wash coming out both sides 🤔
Please excuse my ignorance, but what is this a boat docking tournament? I see a ton of people cheering him on??? I’m confused.
P2Feener 305 maybe look up boat docking competition in md they call them the cowboys of the Chesapeake and it’s some wild shit in person
It's a fishing tournament. They only had a few minutes left to weigh the fish for a $90k USD prize.
No wake zone
If it has two engines, then this kind of maneuvering is a joke... with one screw it is a little bit harder
It's called Moronic Docking while Under the Affluence of Incohol with a side order of dumb luck
Nope, it’s called a very experienced capt trying to get a massive blue marlin to the weight in dock in a timely fashion to allow the other boats with a kill fish to make the dock. Nothing about this was done wrong.
This captain has the brains of a little kid!
the damage is in direct proportion to the speed. when something fails he will wish he was going slower. and no if he had some skills the current would not have been an issue.
You don’t know what your talking about pal, stick to outboards and bass and let the sports fisherman handle the big dogs.
Yup ok guess you didnt understand my point.
SolOmoN320 those boats are very well maintained plus they are made for these type of quick maneuvers for backing down on massive marlin. PLUS this was during the edisto govt cup billfish series and they had a kill fish on board with 3mins to weight it before it was disqualified. So if you had a 100k fish onboard that was about to be worth zero wouldn’t you be backing down like a cowboy??
@@smoaky123 maybe so backing down on a fish in wide open water is one thing but to back down that aggressively when there are things around to hit is another. If no one is around and you are not going to toast some other boat or stationary object then be the man but in my experience it's just plain stupid to operate a boat in this fashion. (bass boat experience set aside - 100' long by 18 deep w 6k hp)
SolOmoN320 it’s how I’ve always seen it done and how I’ve done it, btw the capt won east coast capt of the year his names Harvey Shiflet and he’s easily one of the best big game captains around. A sports fisher is no motor yacht like what ever vessel was 100ft with a draft of 18ft?? You sure you didn’t mean the beam is 18ft? And look man I didn’t mean to insult you but I know Harvey well and I’ve grown up my entire life on these sports fishers fishing all over. I was even on the game changer when we set the world record for marlin caught in a day in Mexico. I guess what I’m getting at is I know a thing or two and nothing is wrong with this back down, I’ve seen WAY more aggressive docking btw.
All the wish they could commenters have no clue about the competence of this captain. Won more tournaments than you can count to, along with captain of the year. No damage to dock or boat. Maybe one day after you get over playing with your shinny new penny and finish your lolly pop take a lesson, and learn how real captains do it.
Lmao thank you!! Harvey is one of the best, these kooks in the comments don’t have a clue what they’re taking about Harvey makes the Charleston fleet proud 👍🏻
Hey "expert", in my marina he would receive "notice" tout the speed and the wake! Kapicc?
Amen
If you didn’t do coke then some a pound, I brought it
Looks like to me an unnecessary wake.
If you want to see real docking skills watch a commercial fisherman with a single screw boat and no thrusters dock. No engines revving no dockside line handlers and no drama. You may have to go to New England to find this skill set now.
Yeah. It’s easy when you got amateur thrusters. I mean bow.
I didn't see them use any bow thrusters so I'm not sure what you're smoking 😂
That boat does not have bow thruster
Literally none on the boat but nice try
What was pro about that?
Jesus, ALL of you should chill. We don’t need even more high-horse attitudes in the boating world.
-it was a contest and they were trying to make time
-yes, under everyday circumstances you should take it easy.
LET IT GO. It’s not YOUR boat or dock.
Love it!
Not the way to act inside a marina...Kid showing off..!
... those engines need some TLC ... way too much smoke ... black smoke ... becareful, (1) cough/engine stall and "bump" goes the boat ...
shut up dude seriously
Slo is pro…
Nice! Now try it with one boat on each side...
Why does everyone with radar insist on running it ALL THE TIME? Last time I checked, radar emitted harmful radiation. Yet, I see guys pull their boats up to crowded restaurant docks, and its spinning away. Nuts and ovaries be dammed.
Steve L because why not we run ours all the time
If you have radar it is required to have it on when underway, not because why not.
Citing documentation from www.navcen.uscg.gov/?pageName=navRulesFAQ#0.3_11
Radar is not required on vessels under 1600 GT (33 CFR 164.35), however, Rule 7 states that proper use shall be made of radar equipment if fitted and operational. In other words, whoever has one must use it. The Navigation Rules are not meant to discourage the use of any device, rather they expect prudent mariners to avail themselves of all available means appropriate...as to make full appraisal of the situation (Rule 5), e.g. the use of radar. At issue is whether the use of radar is appropriate in the prevailing circumstances and that is a determination made by the Master; and, ultimately decided by a trier of fact.
Should you be in a collision how would a judge/jury rule on your contention that the use of radar was impracticable (due to electrical drain, crew shortages, etc.)? Also, if a collision does occur, then there was obviously a risk of collision beforehand. Could the determination of that risk have been made sooner with the use of radar? It is difficult to answer such questions because the circumstances of each case are different.
More importantly, remember that Rule 7 specifies that assumptions shall not be made on the basis of scanty information, especially scanty radar information.
tbirdracefan proper use does not mean always have it on
@@chrish5096 It does mean that you run it in open water. They just came back in from fishing and only had minutes to spare to get their fish weighed in for a $90k prize. The argument would be that taking attention away from docking to turn off the radar is not the safest action to take, given the circumstances.
Docking like a pro doesn't mean throwing wake all over the fairway and slamming into the dock.
You don’t know what your talking about lmao
Gotta do what you gotta do for 90k
@@stankfingerjoe9181 That I get and a fellow NY Captain use to laugh at me and my little mnemonic about "never approach a dock faster than you're willing to hit it" till his reverse gear failed and he ran a Sprit cruise ship right through the Law & Order Offices at Chelsea Pier...
www.nytimes.com/1997/06/28/nyregion/cruise-ship-rams-sports-pier-8-are-hurt.html
I was waiting for the camera to pan round to reveal the red Indians on horseback waiting to scalp the people on the boat as soon as they got to shore. What is all this bloody whooping?
Be even better if he could do the same so as not to cause any wash for other boats moored up.
That is the sign of a real pro.
Hillbilly Boat Show
Amateur stuff. Stack 10 together and I might give a thumbs up. This would be a laughed at if you were applying to get in a union wheelhouse.
Dude what are you even talking about 😂😂😂. You're a moron
Children
There really is no need to come in that hot
If you were trying to get a 100k fish to the dock before it gets disqualified in 5 mins you’d be singing a different toon..
This was highly irresponsible, what if the transmission failed to shift to forward?
What if your mom had swallowed?
get a life
Need some real docks.. actual slips.. not wide open water. lol.
He was just an irresponsible AH making all that wake that could of cause damage to other boats, there was no need for that, the current and the wind was as normal as in any other place on earth
Douche docking and not hard at all.
Eigentlich geht das auch gemütlich, entspannt und ruhig. Dann klatscht das Boot auch nicht so an den Steg ran. Aber es sind halt Amis - die können ja nicht ohne Türe ins Haus fallen.😂
