The guy was wanted on multiple warrants, he had stolen the boat and had no business taking it out into the river. The same guy put a dead rotting fish on the goonies house before this. He put multiple people’s lives in danger for no reason plus destroyed someone’s boat.

If they’re going to take their dogs on the boats in those waters, they need to put life jackets on them. Like bright orange so they can be seen and rescued if they go overboard.
I think if kids under 12 aren’t wearing life jackets the captains should incur a hefty fine, at least $100-150. As an animal lover I would vote for same law for dogs, but sure some would argue😝
@@patriciapasciuto9022 absolutely, and not just any life jacket. I bought an ocean rated life jacket from West Marine online for $80 for my little Maltese as we can get into some crazy washing machine waves/ tides here in Kauai. It was one of the first things I purchased after we bought our zodiac medline 850 a couple of years ago. It’s excellent quality. We’ve used it well over 20 times and it’s still like new. It comes in real handy when we take the SUP to shore. Many beaches get some big waves as you enter and it’s easy to grab the handle on top and bring him right back. He’s a great little swimmer but he is too little to tackle an onslaught of wave after wave. People who don’t protect their dogs while on the ocean are irresponsible pet owners.
When I was a kid and young adult my father had a boat and his rule was "no life jacket, no boat ride". Some of these people are ridiculous; but then again you can't fix stupid.
NOT they they should be untying from the dock when its that vicious, but you must maintain vessel steerage. HOW do these nincompoops get boat insurance?? Its why MY boat insurance rates are so high, and I have never even needed it. It looks too like many of these "skippers" either do not have or do not know how to use, trim tabs. And loading people into the bow of the vessel keeps the bow plunging into the wave(making it into a wannabee submarine- not riding with it.
Several of those commercial fishing boats in France are just waiting while the Captain is counting the waves. A sign of a good Captain. Captain Keith, Tight lines
1:04 The boat on the Columbia River bar was stolen from the port of Astoria and the "captain" was fleeing capture when he attempted to cross the bar to evade the coast guard. The bar was doing what the CR bar does and he got in way too far over his head. He was apprehended (rescued) and prosecuted. But great video none the less. If anyone is curious what the most dangerous river bar in the US, if not the world, looks like. There it is.
Rule of boating in rough seas....if the waves are taller then the bow of your boat come about.....never let a trailing wake over take you, if you own an inboard don't take water over the bow it may flood out your engine below deck, always make sure lines are secure and children have life jackets on and finally boating should be fun, not getting banged around
I concur 100 percent, best leave her secured in your slip. Way too much alcohol too. I have rules on my vessel (36 foot Wellcraft Monaco) My vessel, my rules, and these nincompoops violate all of my rules. I'm amazed more of these folks are not rolled when they start to come about because they figured out its maybe not such a good day to be challenging mother ocean. (She wins EVERY time!)
Kudos to the Cigarette captain. He and his passengers wore self inflating PFDs. It is obvious that despite the unsafe conditions, PFDs were largely extinct on the other boats shown. Did the Hydrasports captain even have enough of them for the number of passengers! Did he show them where to find them if they wanted one? Is it just uncool or just bad seamanship?
Always a great show from the more dollars than sense crowd. I love all the smiles and laughter, yet they'll be crying on TV when one of their pals gets knocked out and tossed over to drown, all because they're too cool for a PFD. That inlet ain't got a conscience or preference for who it teaches a lesson to.
Something that I've noticed about these Haulover Inlet videos is that the north side of the inlet tends to be less rough. Maybe the water is deeper on that side or the current is slower, but the waves tend to be longer and less steep there. That's a _tendency,_ though, and not a lead pipe cinch. One of the problems I see, too, is the length of the waves changing on their way in the inlet, shortening as they come into the current flowing out and onto the shallower bottom. This change can catch skippers out as they proceed into the inlet. They seem to be alright until the wave that they've just crested catches up to the next one in front, causing the bow of the boat to stuff into the wave ahead. If, when you come back from your run, Baker's Haulover Inlet isn't looking doable, your best bet is probably to go down south six or eight miles and get back into Biscayne Bay at the inlet between South Beach and Fisher Island.
Call me a baby. But whenever I take my family boating or when with friends, safety is the most important thing to me. I do not want anyone to get injured. Therefore I would rather drive an extra hour to launch my boat in much calmer waters than risk somebody getting hurt and or destroying the boat. No way would I launch it here with the water like that. Some people are crazy.
This makes 10000% more sense to me than what we watch here. We fished a lot growing on the TN River and swam in springs, FL beach vacations, etc. Typical TN stuff. My Pa and Dad BEAT into our heads that “You’re not stronger than the ocean” and “It doesn’t take deep water to kill you”.. Now with my family, I’m the same way. You can have an absolute ball and be safe. You don’t need to hurt yourself or others or even put yourself in danger. If it’s rough then don’t go out, it’ll be just that much more fun next weekend when it’s pretty and you get to
@Dhi-fe5eu More irresponsible than crazy. Thousands and maybe millions of people die or are maimed every year through irresponsible behavior. They often learn after the fact.
So the guy the rescue swimmer saved was not the owner. He was in the country illegally and stole the boat! Luckily the coast guard was already on site training and no one was injured during the rescue.
Timing the waves , taking the waves at the right speed and positioning your vessel to take the waves are critical . Even then you aren’t guaranteed your boat won’t sink.
Yah, but where is the fun waiting and counting. And working the throttle to keep the bow up is a lot work. It is so much more fun to show off and hope u get lucky and not sink ur boat or kill anyone. That's livin', man. Since most of these dingleberries don't have a clue how to handle a boat, it should madatory to take safety course annually. It's one thing if someone wants to be a jackass alone. But, they have the lives of other people (and children and hot chicks) in their hands and they don't think twice.
Lines caught in propeller(s) can Stop motors. Get caught in Haulover or Boca Inlets, in the slop with No Power, you'll most likely turn abeam to the seas and broach or go all the way over and capsize, 180° or roll over completely, 360°.

Much respect to the pilot of the Custom Craft at 19:45. He's got a little dinghy of a boat and is having a better ride than most of the wooden-headed fools in the big boats are having.
At 21:45 having 60 cylinders and 60 pistons pumping of Mercury outboard power is a practical and affordable option for any boaters needs, but is it better than 5 450R Mercury outboards? Yes. The V12 600 hp Mercury is truly a masterpiece of engineering, and in the application seen at 21:45 a good choice. Practical and affordable might have been stretching the truth for "any boaters needs" though. Each 600 V12 weighs over 1200lbs. 60 cylinders at 100lbs per cylinder is 6000lbs. More actually, when installed. The 450R is just under 700lbs each so 5 X 700 = 3500lbs ... a weight savings of around 47% if you use the actual installed numbers for both types. I still think it's worth it for this application. The cool factor is insane, if that is a thing. That being said, it would be an interesting comparison to get the actual numbers for identical boats of this type, 5 X 450R vs 5 X V12 600. P.S. Call me anytime if you need 190lbs of additional ballast in the boat, I'm available.
@peterchristopher4376 If you believe that stupid things don't happen in the UK and only happen in the US then you are either ignorant or biased, maybe both.
The guy driving the small 'Custom Craft' from 19:38 onwards clearly knows what he's doing, manages his speed well, and handles his small boat without any submarining etc. He even seems to be wearing a life jacket! But for some reason he doesn't get the vast amount of enthusiastic, gushing praise heaped on the girl in the skimpy bikini driving the Blue Topped Legend in another video.
@@AlbertHess-xy7ky do you see a video of them being so addicted to their phone that instead of putting it away for 30 whole minutes, they forego holding onto the boat so they can hold up their phone while getting bounced all over and completely drenched?
I was crew on a 50-knot passenger vessel, " Virgin Butterfly," for many years. The first thing you need to know is that as you come over the top of a big wave, you throttle back for a second to bring the bow down. It also helps to have a small ballet tank, Min the Forpeek, which you fill to keep the bow down. When you are up on the plain, you open the dump valve and get rid of it so that you can stay up on the plain. Some people never learn.
19:55: Every moron we see in these videos who constantly plow water into their boats need to watch this guy. Even with a low profile boat with a bow and rail only a foot or two off the water, you CAN navigate through here without filling your boat with water. It's all about speed management and paying attention! 👍👍👍
People taking small boats out in these conditions blows my mind! It takes such a huge toll on your body spending that much time just trying to stay stood up and the constant shock in your legs from crashing through waves is so draining
The years I had a boat,I always did my best to keep the bow up. Either speed changes or shifting of weight, it worked. Never lost anyone or a serious incident. Luck or training?
The Coast Guardsmen and women are living legends. FYI, it wasnt the skipper of the Sandpiper that they rescued on the Columbia River Bar, it was the Meth Head that stole the boat and thought he could navigate the bar with only a glass pipe and no experience...lol.
Just amazing that so few boaters are actually wearing life vests going in/out very choppy inlet. Plus some boats are on the edge of being out of control !
Several decades ago we went sailing, yes sailing where we had to raise and lower the sails. Water was pretty calm but the captain, one of our colleagues was a certified captain, *insisted* we all wear life jackets and tethered to the ship *at all times*.
Ok…non boat owner here with 2 questions: Why do most of these captains increase the speed when they appear to have foundering issues? And what is the minimum size boat that should have automatic water removal pumps?
What totally amazes me is that NOT ONE of these idiots has a life jacket on!!! You’d think that if they were headed out into the ocean, they’d at least wear them through the most dangerous part!
the video of the coast guard swimmer going towards the big cruiser is not from Haulover inlet! it is in fact from the mouth of the Columbia river in Washington state. see article involving Jericho Wolf Labonte
Many are going way too fast. They come off the top of a wave and on the way down slam straight into the face of the following wave. They've got to learn to get their speed just right to match the wave sequence timing while watching closely for the wave that's out of sequence.
We've handpicked the absolute best videos of the month just for you - get ready to be wowed!!

How is NOT wearing life jackets a thing in the US? Is it something to do with ‘freedom’ or could that be - ‘free dumb’?
That boat was DESTROYED!
keep your scuppers clear!
Life Jackets for the dog 😂😂
All that angry water and boats, it is incredible that I saw only 2 people (in the Custom Boat) with life jackets on.
Some people looked like they were hurt after being thrown around the boat deck.
Children should ALWAYS be in life vests no matter what!!!
no they shouldn't!
@@adamholledge7279 Why?
because it depends if they can swim and what boat they are on but you in some cases yes
Custom Craft for The WIN!!! 😂💪🏻🤘🏻🖖🏻
great footage 🙏🏾
We boat on the Chain-of-Lakes in Illinois and we don't go out if it gets to windy. lol Joe
Ah yes, these must be the infamous credit card captains i've heard so much about
Hi, might I ask what drone you used for the Midnight Express? Excellent capture. Thank you.
Ironically the safest speed for these conditions is much faster than the operator will feel is safe
It amazes me that no one wears float vest. Ive even seen kids with out.
Ok…non boat owner here with 2 questions: Why do most of these captains increase the speed when they appear to have foundering issues? And what is the minimum size boat that should have automatic water removal pumps?
A small craft is not just a dingy, like some of these peoples minds.
those poor dogs. One was just a puppy!
@9:00 I’m getting the impression that the boat operator is hiding something…..himself maybe 🤷🏻♀😂
Always check the small craft advisory and do as it says because this can happen to anyone.
What totally amazes me is that NOT ONE of these idiots has a life jacket on!!! You’d think that if they were headed out into the ocean, they’d at least wear them through the most dangerous part!
I would never go...risk versus reward...
For fun by myself to learn...yes
lol
Columbia River be like hold my beer!
the video of the coast guard swimmer going towards the big cruiser is not from Haulover inlet!
it is in fact from the mouth of the Columbia river in Washington state.
see article involving Jericho Wolf Labonte
There is a reason they call that part of the Pacific Coast the graveyard of the Pacific.
Many are going way too fast. They come off the top of a wave and on the way down slam straight into the face of the following wave. They've got to learn to get their speed just right to match the wave sequence timing while watching closely for the wave that's out of sequence.
