  • Haulover Inlet in Florida is a popular spot for experienced boaters seeking a thrill. Known for its challenging conditions and strong currents, the inlet connects the Atlantic Ocean to the Intracoastal Waterway and is famous for its rough waves and strong winds, which can make boating hazardous. Despite the risks, many boaters are drawn to the inlet's challenging conditions and the opportunity to navigate through it.

    I witnessed a man in a kayak being overwhelmed by a boat wake last year. Rental boat way overloaded including two very elderly women, at least six kids (ages @3 to early teens) and four adults going too fast thru a no-wake zone. Not a single PFD on anyone. The kayaker flipped over and even though he was wearing a vest, was struggling but the boat operator laughed and kept going into the marina w/o slowing. We pulled over and helped the swamped kayaker. He lost most of his tackle, phone and was furious. He asked us to take to that marina. Turns out, he was a sheriff’s deputy. He borrowed my phone, called for backup and we dropped him off at the boat rental. Heard later the boat operator was arrested for BWI, failure to provide PFD to the children, failure to follow no wake, failure to have valid drivers license or ID and outstanding felony warrant. His wife was arrested for impeding an officer, outstanding warrants and refusing to ID.

      But a police boat was on the way and would have arrived 30s later (possibly quicker, we see it only come into view when the other boat was already on the way back).
      But yes, the boater was definitely one the ball and did an excellent job. The only possible improvement I can spot would have been to use a boathook and/or life saver with a line to guide him to the back of the boat and have the engines disengaged much earlier.

      its not necessarily representative of how rough the ocean is, its where there is a narrow channel between an inner harbour and the ocean. Tides make for very fast currents and choppy waters as water rushes through the narrow channel. I remember coming out of Ft Lauderdale and it seemed like it was always like that, but just for stretch. Wear you life jackets and go slowly rolling over them rather than smashing them ..,,, or have some grace and style and get a sailboat, a keel boat just slips through that :)

    Keep a floatation device on a long line attached to the stern of the boat. As you approach the person in the water throw the float into the water behind your boat. Go past the person then turn back around them. Go slowly and the line will be pulled towards the person in the water. They can grab the line and let it pass through their hands until it brings the float to them. Once they have the line stop the boat and pull the person to the boat.

    Damn, that guy drowning was hard to watch. Once someone goes under it can be impossible to find them. The current might take them less than 10 feet away from their last known position, but it can be impossible to locate them once they are under the surface. He was about 5seconds from going under.
    I went parasailing once with my wife and the boat dropped us off about 20 feet from shore. Unfortuantely it was right on top of a current and we started immediately getting tugged out once we stepped foot off the boat. She immediately started freaking out. I had to wrap my arm around her and tell myself that we were not drowning that day. I have no idea how I got us back in but I collapsed on the beach once I could breath. Scared me shitless.

    QUESTION: I’ve never owned a boat or driven one…
    What’s the solution/trick to navigating big waves near an inlet like this?
    Some people (regardless of the boat) seem to do a better job than others….
    Drive fast? Slow? Is the hull design/shape a factor? Or are the boats who seem to have an easier time just have a better Capt behind the controls? THANKS-

      Apparently trim bow up slightly and have enough speed to keep the bow raised. If you crest a big wave, turn slightly away from the direct line. Stay 5m from the break wall for minimum chop. That’s all I’ve learned watching these.

    • @alexcawthorne811

      A deep V stiff hull handled such waters best, or a Rigid Inflatable Boat (RIB) which is what you'll see most emergency services use as they were specifically designed for use in such conditions.
      A great part, however, is also down to captain's competency. Many in these videos are totally incompetent and terrible examples of seamanship or SOLAS awareness.
      If they weren't so bad they wouldn't be on these videos right? Florida has a special relationship between stupidity and boating - where else globally do you see as many idiots as at Haulover and Boca inlets?
      A lot of (very dumb) people also say just use speed - well you can easily stuff a 40' Midnight or Viking that way. The correct way is use control of speed, trim (bow attitude) and steering.
      I've manufactured and sailed boats over 50 years from dinghies, 50'+ yachts to racing cats and there is nothing that's safe in the hands of a total idiot.
      Understand the ocean - treat it gently and leard how to co-exist. You will never beat it and it will cost you a lot if you don't respect it - not just in boat repairs but possibly your life.

      these aren't big waves, at all, they are close together tho.
      What happens at the inlet, the ocean is "firing" right into the inlet, the waves pop up right AT the inlet, into the inlet, soooo.... you have to know.... is the water rushing OUT of the inlet or IN the inlet?
      Then which way am I headed?
      Seems juvenile I know, but a guy driving a boat is an automatic danger to himself, his passengers and everyone in the other boats around him.
      That statement seems weird BUT, the boat will not steer without throttle, things get sticky, boats get close togther and shyt will happen. The second you need to chop the throttle, collision avoidance or whatever, the boat no longer rides waves, steers, or does anything at all. It'll just HIT whatever it's pointed at.
      Collision avoidance. It won't do that. It won't turn away, it won't quickly back up especially if 3 nanoseconds before it was under power. It HAS NO BRAKES.
      IF IF IF you absolutely have to RIGHT NOW slam it outta Forward, into Reverse because DEATH IS NEAR, you've just knocked the props off (a bigger boat), regardless of size, it'll take, for full on-the-gas into full panic stp by reversing, it'll eat up 30-40 yards. It will hit whatever it's pointed at.
      Plus ALWAYS ASSUME every boat Captain is drunk, and his passengers too. It's 100000% true. Not many good decisions coming.
      The BEST thing to do when in a boat ...... keep the water OUT of the boat, keep the passenges IN the boat.
      No one wears a life jacket and no matter what you say, n one ever will. It's insane really.
      Take the fattest, no swimmingest grandma and she refuses to wear one, cause it ain't "cool".
      Soooo... THAT automatically means that ALL life preservers shall be stowed in a matter as to make them unusable. People have them, in a wad, under a seat, tangled up so tight it takes 10 minutes to get one out.
      As for the video, most guys are "tourist"ing around, they PLAN on dousing the kids down, part of the fun.
      A lot of these wave runner accidents, they are rentals, they let anyone get on.
      Being in the inlet is the most dangerous place on the whole water. No room for error.
      A boat without the throttle held down is just a log in the water, a painted upholstered log.

    When I lived in San Jose CA I knew a boater who told me that many people don"t understand currents. He said before you go sailing anywhere near the Golden Gate to stand over a toilet and flush it. That's exactly what it's like. Having ridden over the bridge on a bicycle I can attest that when the tide is going out it looks like a river.

    Guy stuck in the inlet is a terrifying situation...... Off of Key West at Mallory Square there's a cut w/ an island across from it &
    I went in & finally got myself out but there was no boater to help. There are big ladders every so often but at low tide you got
    to wait on a swell to have a chance to grab that ladder & then ya still gotta pull yourself up -n- out. That day I thought I was
    gonna drown. Water may look pretty/blue but danger lurks. peace

    The boat that was overloaded at 1:35, scooping up water, looked like it was ready to roll? The dude at 3:32 looked like he was about to go under? Maybe those who can afford multi-million-dollar boats are not worried about running over a jet ski of small craft because. There is no way they could possibly see everything in their way at 50+ mph. PS So how often are small craft or swimmers run over in the inlet; I don't recall you showing any however it must take place?

      @@JohnSmith-pl2bk Most modern boats are equipped with bilge pumps that have an automatic float system that turns them on when water reaches a certain level in the bilge. If you look at 1:33 it appears the pump has been energized? I would suspect, with the way the boat was rolling the pump was cavitating, therefore, not a steady stream?
