- 3 PEOPLE OVERBOARD SWALLOWED BY WAVES! | HAULOVER INLET BOATS | BOCA INLET
Raging waves at Boca Inlet this weekend turned this into a dangerous situation. 3 people on 2 jetskis rolled over and could not re mount. They were battered and taking waves over head for several minutes before any help could arrive.
It was a rough weekend for south florida boats. Huge waves at several inlets including Haulover Inlet, Boca Inlet and Jupiter Inlet. We cover all 3 on the Wavy Boats Network and more videos from this weekend are yet to come out. Stay tuned and make sure to check out @RoughInlets for our coverage of Jupiter Inlet and more Haulover Boats. Don't miss out!

Scary situation. Why do you guys think the guy on the Jetski didn't help initially? 😳
I think he thought there was someone submerged under or around the first jet ski and focused on that. He then maneuvered around the 3 to make sure they were at least ok. The conditions were too rough to help initially, but he went for it when he saw the male and female were struggling. He probably assumed help was already called in from the shore. The good thing is...he helped. The best thing is all are alive and well.
@Justin Krueger I would struggle too in those conditions. I bet the undertow was fierce.
@Justin Krueger I agree. I wouldn't have gone out in those conditions. No way. Are you a trainer? I need to lose a few after a long recovery following a car accident. Tips?
that guy pissed me off. help them immediately dummy!
@Justin Krueger Noted! Thank you, Justin! ❤
I am the guy on the green skii. I was out jumping & riding waves as I always do & understand the conditions well. I had noticed these guys in trouble from down the beach & went over to help.
If u notice at the beginning of vid (within first 45 seconds) , I go over to check in on them.. i was watching the situation the entire time expecting them to get back on as they were all hanging on & had life jackets on.. to be out in those conditions you should be able to pull yourself up. There were 2 skis. 2 ppl on one & 1 on 1. One person fell off & the others went to help & they were flipped off by the surf & the other man trying to board the skii. They were all hanging onto the skii with life jackets on & they at first told me they were ok so I assumed someone would get back on the skii as the man was half way up. They wanted me to go back & keep their skii from smashing into the rocks .. I did not want to leave them but they insisted so I went to try and keep their skii from smashing into the rocks as I assumed they were going to get back on. Once I realized that they could not get back on & became completely separated from the skii I went back to get them, the conditions were rough & They were now panicking & I could not have them flip my skii as we would all be screwed. Knowing that they were panicking & just failed to get back on 2 different skis, i knew i had to be extremely careful trying to get them on mine without flipping me. These ppl were not in good physical condition so it was very difficult to get them on my skii without flipping in the waves. If you notice they never fully got on my ski & I had to literally pull them out of the water so they could get some leverage. Thankfully i am in great physical condition. I also had to drive extremely slow & careful as they were hanging off the back so I didn’t lose them. By this point they were in a full on panic. I managed to get the first two into the inlet & dropped them off on a random pontoon boat that was safe & went to look for the other man as they told me he had very weak legs & could not get back on the skii which is why he never got back on in the first place. They should not have been out there by any means to begin with. Thankfully by the time I got them to safety & back out there, the life guards got to the 3rd man. I am very thankful they at least all had life jackets on as it saved their lives. The average person doesn’t realize how difficult it can be to get a jet skii in position in conditions like that to make it as easy as possible for someone to get on , let alone when they are no help & can’t pull themselves up, without getting flipped. All 3 ppl turned out ok & even the jet skis both made it out ok. I had to be very careful & make sure I could help them so I didn’t end up in the same situation & making it far worse. Hope that clarifies a bit.
Great work, mate. Those people had absolutely no business in being out there.
The 3 ppl must have been so thankful that you were there and saved their lives. Well done.
Dude, you absolutely saved their lives. As a sailor myself, I have the utmost respect for your accomplishments today and you are a true hero. Very well done 👍
@@1977jelliott thanks... yea not at all. I quickly realized that. Lol
@@huibstad4137 they were for sure. Extremely grateful & very nice people.
Wow. As a former beach lifeguard and having over 50 rescues hats off to that guy on the green jet ski. And wtg lifeguards.
The lifeguards and guy on the jetski deserve a load of respect! Heros
You all did a fantastic job saving their lives! As I sit here in my recliner watching the video on this 32° Wisconsin night I’m still getting a panic attack thinking about it. Hats off to you all !!!
The one dude sitting on the back of the ski not even attempting to get on it, not only to center his gravity, but to give his buddies something to hang on to.... Just sitting there like he gave up. WTH?
Same thing I was thinking. Why not let the others get on and help you back up?
@@WavyBoats Fear of being in the water or maybe he had previous injuries or a disability and was physically unable.
@@daphnelattimer9952 Possible, but it just seems like he froze
From experience in off shore rescue the people in the water are just trying to survive. The waves would be making it extremely hard to keep afloat even with life jackets and also the spray from the water makes it hard to breathe. Combine that with the fact that he looked like a larger gentleman with no fitness and basically he was hanging of for dear life.
Tough to be a Monday morning QB with a situation like that.
Wow thanks for telling the whole story, that was even scary to watch! Thank you for your heroism, you saved three lives.
Lifejacket literally saved their lives. Overweight and out of shape, they'd have literally drowned right there without those vests.
Hence the name...
Never a truer statement.
Michael Phelps would have drowned in those waves.
People laugh at me when I refuse to get on a boat without a life preserver. I'd rather be safe than dead.
I think the guy holding onto the back of the one would have died even with his jacket, if he'd been in the water.
Next they are going to try hot air balloooning into a thunderstorm.
So funny what you said😱
That’s exactly the scenario☝🏻
They should try the health club before any more adventures!
@@sheepdog1102 🤣
Don't give them any ideas!
🤣😅🤣
Thank you Evan Parness, for keeping a cool head in those conditions ! Well done ! Thanks to Wavy too !
✌️🇨🇦
Watching the guy hang on to the back and not climbing up..... is super frustrating.
Agreed! He was USELESS! He may as well have stayed home! 😂😂😂😂
I don’t think he could climb out. He looked out of shape and exhausted.
He looked extremely exhausted. Easy to judge when you aren’t in their swimsuits.
Probably first time on a jet ski and didn’t know how to get back on.
Complete exhaustion.
The guy on the back was ready to let the others drown.
Stupid gets what stupid gets. I would never risk my life when I deem it unsafe and potentially deadly. TFB
Why does the word "let" in my comment keep changing to "let's" on its own. Iv noticed words being changed in my comments before. Is there someone monitoring comments?
@@nickmcd858 I've noticed over the past few years that all social media and comment sections do a preemptive edit of your words based on what they think you are trying to say. Its drives me fucking crazy because sometimes when I hit post, several words are not what I typed. I hate that level of an auto correct because its just not necessary or even wanted by anyone. Who asked for that?
@@nickmcd858 is it possibly your auto-correct or presumptive text ?
The green jet ski dood💪🏻well done mate✅
Props to the single guy on the jetski at the beginning that took in the 2 first
Thanks. It was not as easy as it looks. Check out the comment I left for full story. Appreciate it.

@@evanparness9509 You saved several lives that day. You willingly risked your life to save others. That is what heroes do. You Sir, are a hero. May God bless you !!
I'm so happy that they all were rescued and no lives lost
Everyone underestimates just how much strength it takes to pull yourself out of the water
Done it.many times it's not that hard if your not over weight
If you are out of shape, you have problem.
the whole entire situation would have went down so much differently had that guy not just gave up and sat there he was putting all three of those people in danger
PFDs saved the day here, without them this would have been a tragic. Semper Paratus!
Well, seeing how the PDF is almost coming off the one guy makes you angry that they do not force people to fasten them properly at many rental companies....
@@BhavaSindh I noticed that too, it looked a little big on him.
im wondering why the rescue guys in the zodiac weren't wearing any?
Man that was a awesome rescue! Thankful everyone was ok. Thanks for the excellent video coverage!!
Its pretty difficult to remount a jet ski when you are over weight. If you can't do one pullup, you will struggle with this.
Thats the exact reason why you shouldn't travel into treacherous waters if you can't remount quickly
If you are a grown man and can’t even do a single pull up you are pathetic and have no business putting yourself and others in a potentially life threatening situation because it
Not all things are meant for all people. I think the catch phrase " A man has got to know his limitations" fits well here. You stay on the beach and play Frisbee. You don't take a jet ski to an area that is known to swallow boats when you aren't fit or experienced.
@@12askeland231 Your half right. He shouldn't be out there....I assume he is inexperienced. But a "grown man" and pull ups is an ignorant comment. You are either someone who is young and/or has not had a shoulder injury. Perhaps he was injured during the incident!
@@deningman I'm 77 yrs old and I agree, if you are unfit, don't put yourself and especially others at risk! That is called stupidity at any age.
This is what panicking looks like instead of getting out of danger
As Clint Eastwood said, "a man's got to know his limitations."
and his machine also.
but not to the expense of other peoples lives
Oh man. I just saw your post after I did mine. GMTA
Big props to those brave guys going out there!! Awesome job! 👍🏻
A pretty heroic rescue by skilled operators in tough conditions. Bravo!
Help arrives with no life vest. You guys are real bright down there.
I'm seriously shocked that not everyone has a life jacket on in these conditions, especially the guys in the RIB and the jet ski dude at 8:37.
They were lifeguards/ocean rescue, and had a red flotation belts. (rt side) maybe because they were prepared to dive into the water, and a vest wouldn't let them reach the bottom. -if you have to find someone below the surface. -about 10-15' there.
@@mrbill1683 yes that makes sense, they would jump into water with that red belt flotation device
Then you take your pfd off when you arrive on scene not when you are traveling to. Just because they are lifeguards does not mean that if they are knocked unconscious on the way there they won’t sink. Poor safety practice for someone whose business is safety.
First Wavy Boats that literally had me on the edge of my seat...
Two words. Seadoo ST3! 😎
Facts!
That last boat looked like a boat a boat Batman might own
Unfkgbelievable that people going to assist aren't wearing PFDs. Just likely to increase the scale of the emergency. Especially in pitching and breaking waves like those.
Also looked like the kill cord hadn't been worn on the inverted ski?
Great work by the first ski driver and the life guards on the rescue jetski.
Cuz Florida...🤷🏼♂️
Jesus Christ the ocean is scary, Thank God and Thank the individuals who helped
Life jackets are essential, so glad the guys on the jet skiis were willing to risk their safety to save the others out there. This was one of the rougher conditions I have seen on these videos. Will love to see the super size yatchs 90 ft or so battle the rough conditions. Thanks
Yes, but the two guys in the inflatable hull and red lights twirling *were not wearing PFDs.* If one of them went in the water, everyone concerned would have one more problem to worry about.
People like them keep the Coast Guard gainfully employed!
It was definitely awesome to see some Good Sam’s step up and help out. Those were definitely not water inexperienced boaters should be in.
To be a lifesaver, one must put up their own life as collateral.
The sea was angry that day my friends.
George!
That was just mildly peeved.
Angry seas would be 6 foot breakers or bigger.
Without a pfd or even with you can drown quickly.
A drone to get an overhead view would be very useful in this situation.
It should have a strobe light on it.
That last boat was a beast.
Very nice.
I bet it could have used some bow thrusters.
@@supertruckertom Embarrassing. And you ruined it.
I'm glad they were all rescued and not seriously injured. I question why they were out in those conditions if they were not experienced or fit enough to handle it.
Basic inexperience and lack of knowledge of the ocean in general...
Just watching this and there is a big rip in the middle of all this. That's why the 3rd guy got sucked out so fast. They are all VERY lucky to have been rescued.
Exactly, and why no one is swimming in to shore.
I remember when physical fitness was a thing.
I like how you said that
"Are you really that stupid?" In that rough water with your jet-ski..."Are you really that stupid?"
Riding a Jetski in those conditions can be very Fun, but only if you have a lot of experience in riding, and can re-Board your jetski in rough conditions, such as those!! I have ridden my ski in conditions just like that, but with my level of Skill, and experience, I had no problem getting back on my machine when I was thrown off of it!! I am a big guy, but I have no problem re-Boarding my ski in rough conditions!
Bro you're talking about homosapiens here. Never underestimate the level of stupidity some strive to attain.
I live on the beach in Gulf Shores and I can tell you the stupidity level of tourist is off the charts.
You can’t fix stupid, if they are lucky, someone saves them which we see in this video
Sunking2001 they dont belong owning jet-ski. They aren't experience enough hence they fell in water.
If you fall off and physically can not pull yourself on to the ski you DO NOT BELONG OWNING OR RIDING a jet ski
I agree with others. A lack of fitness and experience almost ended poorly, if not for life vests.
It's easy to assume he's out of shape and by looking from far away I can see that but that current is insanely strong and packed with that strong west wind there's significant "undertow".. Throw in some 6' waves and most people would be 100% exhausted but If you're going to go play in the waves like this you should be a VERY strong swimmer. People assume they are and when you find out you aren't it's too late.
You get out there and let me see you do it. Bet you never set foot in the ocean
I can see first hand, how important life vests are. They clearly saved these people's lives until rescuers could arrive.
right!
The two guys at the end in the 'rescue' boat were not wearing!!!!
If you have never been on a jet ski and in big waves,you won’t understand have difficult it is and in that situation where currents and waves coming from everywhere it’s a nightmare..glad they got off safe & alive.. lesson learn there I hope..👍🏼🙏🇧🇪
Those people have no business being out there. They were frozen and did not even make an attempt to get on that jetski.
So dangerous in these conditions. If a person does not have experience handling this they really have no business even attempting to go out. I hope they are ok and learn a lesson. I speak from experience as a PWC owner and operator.
There he is I said way loud all to myself. What a compelling rescue. Good job men.
That was intense! I love watching these boating videos and gasp in fear for the individuals that get washed overboard, but I don't want to see an actual death, you know? That would ruin it for me. This one came close.
Good job by the guys on the jet skis.
These conditions were too rough to be out on the water, especially by novices.
I can’t get over the rescuers on the rib not wearing buoyancy?
i know i was like these dudes are crazy
Unbelievable that the two rescuers in the zodiac don't have lifejackets on. They could just as easily require rescues themselves if their boat flipped.
I thought the same thing!!
911 should use this call ...
.. to teach people EXACTLY how NOT to call emergency services.
Wrong way: “people and jet skis and waves are in the water and it looks really bad.”
Right way: “I’m at the eastern end of Boca Inlet and people are in the water drowning.”
This is the right way because the 911 operator knows what the emergency is INSTANTLY.
The weather started getting rough. The tiny ship was tossed.
Rental Company: Oh yes, VERY safe. Just look as COOL as POSSIBLE cause lots of people will put you on YOU TUBE with captions like, OLD MAN CRUSHES THE SURF or THREE PIRATES ROB THE FURY OF THE SEA. OR POSSIBLY " THREE PEOPLE OVERBOARD SWALLOWED BY WAVES" - GOOD LUCK!!!!
"Here"! On Gilligan's """**Island""**
If not for the courage of the fearless crew.....
Lmao!!!
A couple more minutes and jaws would have been there ..and made the fat guy slot thinner...ahhh ha ha!!
If you are over weight and can’t pull yourself up on a JetSki get another hobby !
And let natural selection do it’s work🙂.
@@Jerry-sy8rd lol
Gotta start somewhere. Perferably in a calm lake.
Yep..
Wonder if they've ever heard of golf...!!
Omg, so scary. Glad they are okay! respect for the rescuers!
Tough, tough, tough. Good job.
Getting back on a ski is like picking up a motorcycle. If you cant do it you need to stay off of them.
Very true! When I dropped my bike it was hard to get up(I did. My dad made sure to teach me) but if you dont know how to do it you shouldnt ride. We have jet skies too and made sure all our kids learned how before letting them go out.
@@familyof1052 Yes! It's a little training that will serve them well. My Dad always had three rules:
Helmet
Pick up the bike
Start it
Then off you go!
@@gorn9161 sounds like you have a great dad too!
@@familyof1052 Yes I did. He's been gone since 2001. Miss him every day. I'm an old fart now I guess at 60. I still ride and party every day though. Lessons learned. Life is short.
@@gorn9161 I'm sorry to hear that. Sounds like you have some good memories. I'm getting old too. Lol 40 and we have 8 kids so we try to make every day count and make good memories. Riding and going on the boat are my favorite things!
Wow, great job by the Ocean Rescue crews out there! Those two guys wearing helmets on the ski are brave souls!
Agree. Nice to know help is fast and close by.
Holy cow, makes me glad California beaches and waters are so calm lol
I grew up in Humboldt County in NorCal and you don’t go out playing in those waters. Even in the summertime. There were the very few surfers who would surf in the bay, but that’s about it. Of course this was before jet skis, so there might be some who ride out there now. We loved it when we would spend a couple of weeks at our g-ma in Santa Cruz at her beach home.
I’ve been in that situation. It is tough to try to get back on the ski. Those waves drain all your energy even for a young man like myself let alone those old/outta shape folks. Glad they made it home that day.
I'm shocked to see the rescuers in the skid did not have life-jackets on. Why ANYONE would go out in these conditions without a life-jacket is completely nuts.
Sending praise to the lifeguards!
That last yacht is outstanding!
OUTSTANDING WORK!
Bond villain arrives at the end 😀
Why didn't the person using the video camera call for assistance much sooner. It was easy to see they needed help. Next time put down the camera and make a call.
Lots of tourist wind up renting jetskis and boats but have no idea or experience of how to use them. They just see other people who own one and think wow those waves would be fun to ride on them. They just have no idea at all and most people have no idea what rip currents are and how to get out of them. They prob either trailered them from a local lake or maybe rented them. But even with experienced riders, those waves would be challenging . Stay off them until you take a course or at least get in better shape.That guy looked paralyzed just holding on and not getting on it while the other ones are off to fend to themselves. Hats off for the rescuers for saving them.
wow , edge of your seat stuff. thank you sir.
Just call emergency immediately ‼️
YES!!
Time and time and again, we see these scenarios, where people put themselves in dangerous yet avoidable situations, and where others have to risk their lives to save them. Not even world class swimmers should venture in the conditions like that.
This was my thought as well like goodness these guys have to come out & risk their lives. I bet their asses won't go out like that again. The ocean is so beautiful but is nothing to play with!
Tell them yes!!! 😤 🤧 🤨 🧐
I am a former Navy jet pilot. We lived by the admonition "Whatever can happen, will happen." I have watched dozens of these inlet videos and have seen hundreds of idiots in boats and jet skis risk their lives in conditions way beyond their abilities and apparently comprehension. Don't the marine authorities in Boca and Lauderdale and Miami know this also? Rather than have officers patrolling quiet waterways, one powered lifeboat and two rescue personnel stationed on the adjacent beach would have had the situation controlled within 2-3 minutes. And, why did the camera operator wait 5 minutes to call rescue---should have been immediate. Big thanks to the civilian jet ski driver who got the 2 aboard and safe.
Well done guys your hobby just saved thats mans life 😎
Boat rental company: "its kind of rough, have you ever used a PWC before"?
Old guy: "No, never"
Boat rental company: "OK then that will be $150.00 on your VISA. Have fun"

@@fladave99 LOL
-Small print.. no one takes the time, reads the 'Small' print that ran the necessary 'Ks... in front of the basic $150 in cases like this.. And rightfully so, it's redistribution of wealth, a Natural Selection thing ;}
Rental company: "Do not go out into the waves. Just stay on the smooth water. If you fall off the ski in the waves, sharks WILL eat you." That's what they should say. :)
I literally had to pull a guy's head clear of the water with his hair as he went down for the proverbial third time (he jumped from his boat as i caught fire), he was in shock for at least an hour and there was no way he had his senses while coming around. While pulling him aboard he clung on to me for dear life even when sitting on the deck of my boat. fright and shock can temporarily disable a person, so don't be too hard on the guy grabbing to the back of the water ski.
Breath taking experience while watching guys.
The Florida pool pump motor bearing repair guy approved ! that was good info
Wow! That is some scary stuff!
Not enough comments on the boat at the end...what was its issue?
Looked like the current started pushing them too close to the rocks and they decided to back off and try again. There's another video around here somewhere at the same inlet showing a big yacht that came extremely close to the rocks before they hit full reverse and saved it. Looks like those big boats get pushed around pretty easily there.
Just chilling, brave dudes in the boat.
Your most suspenseful video yet! Thanks for the play by play!
Can someone explain why they don’t just climb back on their scooter?!… Stunning
They were crazy to go out into those huge waves to begin with. It looks dangerous and it could have killed them if they hadn’t had on life jackets.
Two guys in the gray inflatable with red lights - why no life jackets?
Stupidity.
They were lifeguards with rescue tubes leashed around their shoulders. One of them should have been wearing the PFD as the boat driver though. Couldn't both go in the water at the same time, unless they really had to put two people in the water to rescue the boaters. Next on scene could have chased down the boat.
Lifeguards you cant save someone in a jacket GOOF BALL CALM DOWN
@@DOUBLEDEFENSE Are you saying you can't save a victim in a jacket or the lifeguard wearing the jacket?
@@wcresponder Trying to efficiently swim in a life jacket is nearly impossible, even more so in the surfzone. It makes effecting a surf rescue for a guard even more difficult than it already is.
Now that’s how you drive a boat 👊
Wow! What a rescue!
This was very upsetting to watch for so many reasons.
Someone asked for jet skies the other day...this video will stick in my head for a while...WTF

I always enjoy watching these fun boat videos they are fun to watch
A real hero in the end!
Perfect example of cold water/hypothermia zapping all your strength extremely quickly. You're wet , wind blowing, no wet suit no head covering, but it was 80°.
Best comments of all on this thread.
@@cheapme1850 thanks
Guy clinging to the jet-ski looks like he's in his 70's, like Clint said "Man needs to know his limitations."
Good video just goes to show what can happen
They should be very thankful for.the Life jackets they were wearing. They were caught in a rip current due to outgoing tide.
How many they put in harm's way...upsetting!!!
The emergency services should of been called way sooner.
Looking back on it yea but most people probably think someone out in those conditions on a jet ski can get back on or at least swim at a decent rate but those people
Couldn’t climb out of a kiddy pool that flipped
Watched a long time but never communicated! I got to say I loved this one and was on the edge of my seat the whole time.
It is very amazing👍👍
So what happened to the jetskis? Did they get towed in? Interesting that the Ocean Rescue guys on the Zodiac weren't wearing life jackets.
Lifeguards. They have rescue tubes. But one should be designated driver with PFD.
1 guy driving should have one, but those guys are killer swimmers. A good friend of mine is a lifeguard and I have watched him swim out in insane current and waves and rescue people with no life jacket. Even on my best day I am half the swimmer he is, some people are naturals in the water.
Life jackets impede swimming dramatically. I'm a rescue swimmer in Canada and depending on the situation and how much buoyancy you need depends which PPE you choose. Sometimes it's an inflatatable jacket that looks like a regular wind breaker.
What was that boat at the end!? Looks like it says Panther on the side. It's beautiful! ❤️
It almost sounded like a turbo when he went into reverse...
Baia 80 Panther
@@Moonraker11 sounded like it because it is, twin diesels I believe
I grew up in the water at the beach and at the local lakes, swimming, rowing, sailing, snorkeling etc. I'm pretty comfortable in rough surf, but have never been in anything like that. That being said, with a proper PFD, I don't think I would have been worried about drowning, but I might have been concerned about getting swept out in those conditions and not being found. For folks who don' t recognize what's going on with the water itself, this is a relatively narrow inlet into a bay and on an outgoing tide(like what they had here), there is a powerful current moving out through the inlet. There was an onshore wind (wind blowing FROM the water TOWARD the land) opposing the outflow, thus the extremely rough conditions. The current isn't pulling anyone DOWN, just OUT, so the folks in the water didn't have to worry about being "sucked" under, but getting separated from the boats was going to make them harder to find.
I don't really understand why the fellow on the jetski didn't get one of the folks in the water up on his jetski and transport him/her to the other jetski and let them drive it in and then get one of the others up on his jetski and transfer him to the other one and so on. They could probably have made their way back in slowly if they had just gotten back on the boats.
Glad everyone was ok!
Darwin really does have an answer for stupid!
💯%
Scary. You gotta practice getting back on a rolled-over ski if you're going to ride one! Thank God help was nearby.
Looked like they were out of shape, haven't had any training or practice on a jet ski, the guy hanging on the back of the jet ski appeared frozen in fear or in shock. You HAVE TO practice and train for these situations or stay out of the water.
@@Thunderbyrd. exactly, he would be better off staying home! He was USELESS!
