Yes, I have been through Boynton Inlet (in a 14' Zodiac), also through Sebastian Inlet, Fort Pierce Inlet, Boca Raton Inlet, and Hillsboro Inlet all at the helm of my 20' Mako.
I moved to Gulf Stream/ Ocean Ridge back in 1964. It was August and the 2 Georges accident happened in March. It was a huge story. The inlet was very dangerous until they built the curved pier extension . The inlet back then still had the trestle where the sign written on it said.....NO SWIMMING or DIVING. That was violated every day. We would jump off the trestle and let the tide take us down towards BEER CAN Island. If we were snorkeling and the tide took us down there we would look/search for Stone Crabs that were in the rocks.Brings back some wonderful memories.
This was my favorite "inlet" when I was young and in my surfing and jet-ski days. Had many close calls there, but so much fun - Even riding the current out on a big wave day (saved me paddling my butt off with outgoing tide)! Fished there as well. I agree with this inlet being so dangerous as I personally witnessed at least a few boating accidents here, and even a rogue wave sending folks to the hospital with a hurricane offshore. Crazy stuff - Thanks for sharing this.
Good luck with the new channel!. I probably lived in Florida Before you did, as I moved down to 😢Sarasota for awhile in the mid 1980s. I came back to NC for a lot of reasons and honestly it's a little bit too hot for me in Florida for about 6 months a year. Plus I like a lot of the old style Florida places that were probably around in some ways when you first moved down, but you must have seen the state explode in development. I hope to see some of what people call Old Florida (if it still exists). Back in the 80s it seemed that 65% of Old Florida was gone and half of what was left was there on borrowed time. I look forward to seeing what Florida looks like, so show us what it's like. 🎉
Thank you for watching and commenting. I too love old Florida and have seen it slip away. Stay tuned because that's the type of stuff I love to share. I can't post every week but I promise I'll try to show you interesting stuff.
Any inlet can be good on a good day but this one is not a normal inlet and there's a big difference between jumping off a bridge and drifting through the water and navigating a boat between a narrow path and a sharp right turn.
@@WTFLORIDAMAN yea, but going in some busy inlets is a death sentence. ima list a one that isn’t as strong as boynton but still has pretty strong currents called the Boca Raton Inlet.
A LOT of people jumped off there in the late '80s/early '90s into what many knew as very dangerous due to the very strong current (not me or those I was closest to). I was around 17 then and I would always wonder if anyone didn't make it (still do)😥. I wish I could have done something to help prevent it, but these were the type who were major 'daredevils,' but not necessary in the smartest way, in my opinion. I have a healthy respect for extreme sports as a former surfer/body boarder myself, but this was a whole other level as to the risk involved. A lot of fishing also took place at the inlet back then (I don't know about now as it has been a while since I visited even though I'm only a few counties away). And there was always a food truck for some tasty hot dogs, snacks, etc. I also remember that the only entrance & exit to the parking lot had a VERY steep decline & incline, respectively, at a time when I had a car with manual transmission, so that was fun🙃. On the weekends, a lot of teenagers would drive around Lake Worth beach, John Prince Park, Boynton Inlet, & then Oceanfront Park beach, and circle back. They would stop along to talk to friends at each location along the way. Sometimes my ex-husband & I did this as we took part a few times years before we settled down to have our family. That really could be fun as there wasn't a lot to do then! I'm grateful that we got to have the access that we did when it came to all the beaches/inlets in Palm Beach County whilst growing up & well into my 20s, as when we raised our daughter in the same area, we hardly ever saw anyone at the beach like how it was especially in the '80s & the '90s. With that said, the last time I really visited was 2010. Still, I wish & our daughter wishes that she could have enjoyed even a taste of what we were so fortunate to have been able to experience then! Great memories!!
I've since read a lot of comments about people jumping. Please know that in my comment above that I'm only speaking for people that may have also been intoxicated as that seem somewhat more prominent so I was really worried if anyone was intoxicated when jumping. I think I also was a bit more freaked me out than others (as bad as it was supposed to be) as I was pulled under many times when I started out as a young kid surfing and knew of 5 people who who died at least partially because of this. (After knowing of a few shark attacks just before I was age 20, I stopped surfing altogether.)
As an experienced Boynton inlet captain, a rough day is not the main problem with this inlet. the last couple of hours of the outgoing tide makes THIS inlet extremely dangerous. Twice a day, bad things happen to boats in this inlet. Same is true for ALL inlets. Haulover is really bad at the end of the outgoing tide…. You missed the main reason this is a notoriously dangerous inlet. Massive amounts for water heading out at the end of the outgoing tide and meeting the ocean currents right here. I fished all of the inlets in Florida and this is the worst.
Appreciate your input that's some great information to share. As you can see many people don't think it's that rough of an inlet from some of the comments but I've been through it with my friends in their boat and it's nothing to play with.
Yes I’ve been through this inlet. Born in WPB to a huge boating family. Cool to see this video here if familiar waters. Love learning more history about it that I didn’t know.
Wow that's crazy, didn't you worry about getting thrown into those jetty rocks and all that metal. My sons goes surfing on the northside all the time he's probably going today.
@@WTFLORIDAMAN LOL, you should have seen all the kids that would jump off the arches of the original bridge. I know of at least one kid that rode his bike up and down them.
Thanks Alec. My neighbors are from Brazil, I sold the home they bought and now we are friends lol. If you need a Realtor I am one. Thanks for watching, I have been busy with my family so I have not been able to make any new videos but I am going to get back to it in January.
lol! didn't expect to see this. Old punk rockers keeping it alive! They're pretty good, too! Oh, and a treacherous inlet, I've seen videos of it before. Some people are either crazy or clueless in boats!
Ive lived in Boynton since 1979. Been through that inlet for years. Even ran it at 12 years old. Local knowledge is key. Problem is we dont have enough people with local knowledge of this inlet navigating this inlet. Actually not bad if you know how to run it.
If you read the warnings on a nav chart OR THE WARNING SIGN on the west side of the inlet you will discover that it was NOT designed or built as a navigational waterway
A sandbar developes on the right side as you go out. Boats have to maneuver, it make waves kick up, especially low tide, flipping boats. The pumphouses dont keep the inlet channels open. They transfer the beach sand on the North side that builds up and would move South naturally. That sand has to go towards Delray beaches. LOL. I got knocked off the jetty by a giant wave and sucked out in a storm long ago. Barnacle cuts are brutal.
Didn't know that I always thought that pump house was to keep the channel clear, I know it throws the sand on the southside over by the lifeguard stand. I've seen the waves that come over that jetty I can't believe you got knocked over by one and taken out that must've been scary as shit. thanks for watching and your comment
Hey man. New sub. Just bought a condo in Boynton and headed down for the season. We fell in love with the area the last couple years and decided to buy. Cant wait!!
Congrats on the new condo, I wish you had found me sooner I'm a realtor in Boynton Beach let me know if you have any questions about places to eat and drink and see. I'm gonna get back onto some regular videos for this channel just been tied up with work and the holidays
About 2 weeks ago I was coming into the Boynton inlet with my 17 foot Bayliner bowrider. There was 2 large boats heading out at a high rate of speed and needless to say it was a rough ride but no water came into my boat.
My Dad owned the Sea Mist Marina in the 80's. I grew up in & around these waters. Sea Mist marina was right next to Two George's & across from the Banana Boat.
If you look into the History of the Boynton Beach Drainage Ditch you will find cities during the 1800's and early 1900's dumped raw sewage and partially treated sewage to be flushed out of the intracoastal on the out going tides. Too small to be considered a actual inlet
Grew up around that Inlet and had some close call's navigating that inlet. As kid's we would jump off that bridge and swim over to Beer Can Island! Worked on the Sea Mist 3 for a bit too! Boat traffic make's it a little dangerous at time's! This video was filmed on a calm day, that inlet turns sick on a rough day! Still enjoy heading out that inlet on my boat!! Cheers!
My first question you never mentioned about inlet..is bridge isnt a draw bridge ? so larger boats cant use it ??...so important yet u didnt mention it...??
So it's not really considered an inlet and you're correct most inlets would never have a bridge blocking the path. There was always a bridge there as you can see from the old photo and the sole purpose of this inlet was to drain water from the Lake Worth lagoon but people still use it instead of driving all the way north which is another 30 minute drive by boat or south to Boca Raton which is also a 30 minute drive.
I've been through that inlet plenty of times while I worked at Palm Beach Yachts. It's seductively beautiful between tides. But it can certainly bite you if you under estimate it!
I grew up in Boynton Beach and Lantana. We come fom a long history of boating and fishing in this area. Snorkled inlet wall numerous times. Almost capsized a 16' skiff when I was 19. Lady on south pier was screaming They are going to die..... The good Times
It was a blast, I had my boat kept at the marina I worked at. On lunch break I would have it put in the water. I would go south to BB Inlet to get food from the Tiki boat. Then I'd go out to the pond and fish for a bit before heading back to work. Keep in mind that I was 16 years old and my boat was a sears Gamefisher fiberglass boat with a 35 Johnson. Loved It!!!!!
@@billyboats1853 bro you got to live the life I always wanted, always thought it would be cool to be a kid with like a little johnboat fishing and exploring. Glad you have some good memories to share with others. I moved here 30 years ago and fell in love with the ocean I've never been a boat owner the closest thing I had with a JetSki but I love it I don't get seasick and when it's a big boat or a little boat that has the captains confident I feel pretty safe
The big boat coming through was genos charter from lantana. Cap can only get through by inches. If you look he had his outriggers down it the only way he can get through. Since the bridge is fixed its the tallest boat that can get though. They other boat should have slowed down if he was under the bridge the wake alone would have caused his boat to hut the bridge.
Ran out of gas coming in the inlet right after the bridge on out going tide. Palm Beach Co. Sheriff saved us. They were at the inlet patrolling at the time. If not we would have been sucked into rocks or capsized in current.

Remember the V.W. Bug story. I believe the lady was a nurse at Delray hospital. They never found any remains or the bug. My aunt worked at same hospital at the time.
I agree that they do 'look' like they are going too fast, and some are. But because of the extremely strong current, boats need quite a bit of speed to navigate it safely. This is especially true when the tide is changing and the boat is traveling the same direction as the tide. From shore it can look insane!
@@thadsgudenuff There's no need to go more than 15 knots for ANY boat in that channel at ANY time. The 30+ footers can go 12 knots and power thru anything because they have twin or triple screws; the single engine small boats have the roughest time.
I agree with the author.... This inlet is EXTREME LOCAL KNOWLEDGE ONLY. this inlet was constructed as a flush inlet only. There have been proposals for the government to straighten the inlet and remove the dogleg and widen. Talked about for decades. Unless your have that knowledge, local knowledge, I strongly suggest avoid.
OK so you're new to the whole inlet filming thing so I'd like to point out a rookie mistake. At 1:21 there was a sweet looking lady in a thong and you totally blew right by her. You need to get on that with the camera in the future. LOL
@@WTFLORIDAMAN Of course not, it's an inlet. Only Ports are intended for navigation, they are regularly maintained with marked channels. Inlets are "at your own risk" and listed as "local knowledge only" on all nautical charts. All inlets on Florida's east coast have a history of tragic accidents, mostly due to lack of local knowledge combined with inadequate boating experience.

Down here now living from Carolina trying to find some good fishing spots. Is the pond the area right to left of inlet on icw side?
Yes I watch wavy boat too!!😊
The big boat coming through was genos charter from lantana. Cap can only get through by inches. If you look he had his outriggers down it the only way he can get through. Since the bridge is fixed its the tallest boat that can get though. They other boat should have slowed down if he was under the bridge the wake alone would have caused his boat to hut the bridge.
Obviously a lot of boaters have no clue what they're doing in South Florida.

Boynton inlet always a nice pack and eat here north or south of inlet on beach side is
When tide is coming in you can look cat bottoms of inlet and even se fish swim buy
It's definitely a cool place
I was born in Boynton in the 60's.
When the old arch-structure bridge was there we walk up to the apex of the arch and jump into the inlet.
As teenagers, a bunch of us would skinny dip at Beercan Island, before it had the seawall.
The Ocean Ridge cops would show up and shine flashlights on us at midnight telling us leave.
There was an old story of a teenage girl in a VW bug that ran off the bridge and floated out stream-current and was never found.
That story got lassoed into the Bermuda Triangle folklore...dont know the authenticity of that.
When I was a youngster, we would find pieces of the old A1A road that was taken out b4 I was born.

I’m not a boat person (I’m a horse person), but it looks like those boats are going way too fast for that narrow inlet!
I agree that they do 'look' like they are going too fast, and some are. But because of the extremely strong current, boats need quite a bit of speed to navigate it safely. This is especially true when the tide is changing and the boat is traveling the same direction as the tide. From shore it can look insane!
@@thadsgudenuff There's no need to go more than 15 knots for ANY boat in that channel at ANY time. The 30+ footers can go 12 knots and power thru anything because they have twin or triple screws; the single engine small boats have the roughest time.
I agree with the author.... This inlet is EXTREME LOCAL KNOWLEDGE ONLY. this inlet was constructed as a flush inlet only.
