Yeh I have been over that bar in similar conditions at half tide on a game boat. The skipper had to wait outside the bar for a reasonable wave to ride so we wouldn’t hit the bottom. Now that was skill.
These blokes know what thy are doing this is how thy make their living thy are professionals at what thy do do some thing a lot of times eventually you get good at it stay safe brothers & good fishing
I have done the same thing. Exiting and leaving at a junction of a river and open water with a narrow straight during a rip tide. The waves are high and the water is moving in multiple directions! Of course my boat was only 12 foot long with a 15 hp Evenrude outboard. What ever you may think, you must have the brains to recognize when this is happening and the skill to execute the right maneuvers, no matter what size boat you are piloting. Yes their was a sandbar on one side that becomes a navigation problem at rip tide.
Experienced and skillful, I wouldn't ride on a boat with someone like me at the helm. This is a time you need the very best. TH-cam has several videos of mistakes made while trying to cross a bar. Some of them live to tell about it. Some.
That's a what 70 or 80 foot boat? Nice high bow and low stern equals no problem. If you enjoy Bar crossing videos search for "Cape Disappointment" in the States. It's known as the Graveyard of the Pacific.
that's the power you want. come in over the bar at Seaton Devon UK, most get tipped out seen happen since the 1940s. but the boatmen will surf the right wave as they do in Australia on the big waves. yes, I have done it stayed afloat got a clap from all the lads. penny shilling wow.
this is fine however I got sick from a wet exhaust once , it burbles back in the wind , or mabe it was particular to the vessel ,. wow nice boat , planeing along , preventing getting swept off course by bar rollers , very cool .
I'm the same way although in this particular video my guess is there wouldn't be much motor noise heard over the thick sound of so much churning water...and that would be just fine. Same sentiments with a video I watched of a lawn tractor cutting some overgrown vegetation. Ruined the video with music
Boats got some power. We recently had a similar boat built for prawning here in BC. You guys haul on the left? I guess everything is backwards down there lol.
Yea but that is a baby bar but that is a nice lobster boat I could give it a real test on the Humboldt bay bar or Columbia river bar 20' to 30' and breaking.
Mastered large plaining hulls for many years and have seen this go pear shaped many times , larger following seas or hynautic steering or cable steering failure would produce a negative outcome . The ocean loves heroes , she is full of them !
Not needed. The skipper rode in on the back of a wave and had enough power to stay there. Boats get in trouble when the can't keep up with the waves. That is when they get pooped and forced broadside to the wave - which can roll you. And by riding the back of the wave, you don't get a wave breaking over your stern - another big hazard.
Crossing the bar is no big deal if you have enough HP to stay ahead of the wave. The only reason the old fishing boats struggle is because they are way under powered.
I agree totally. I've been through bars on 90ft trawlers that struggle to make nine knots on flat seas and 17 foot private fishing boats with 115hp outboards. If I had to choose, I'd take 17ft and 115hp every time.
Old fishing boats arent underpowered, they have plenty of power, or they wouldnt be able to drag nets...The problem isnt power, its the fact that they are displacement hulled, so have a max hull speed which no amount of HP will easily overcome. Their waterline length is more of a factor for a displacement hulled vessels speed than its HP. So consequently if the speed of the waves coming across the bar is faster than she will go, then the crossing is going to be a challenging one. The same goes for many yachts as well.
That is a big boat and that was not a dangerous moment. Saw a seaman escaping a hurricane navigating worse condition that that, in a skiff no longer that 10'. I mean while holding onto the tiller he could physically touch the bow deck.
That's what happens when brains and skill work together. Awesome video.
Cap had experience, steady hand, local knowledge, right boat
He came in confident and fast so he had full rudder control. Well done, skipper!
I like the boat. The cabin is in the front well balanced, leaves the rest of the deck for fishing and pulling of the net..
He crossed that like a boss. Well done!
It's great if you can sit in the trough and match its speed. He increased speed and climbed the peak at the end which was a good call. Nice job.
Lots of power and local knowledge. Makes it look like he has done it before

Great sea-boat and masterful handling makes this look so easy

GREAT RESPECT CAPTAIN!!!!
Good captain on duty here.

master and commander !
Big boat+ experienced operator= smooth bar crossing TH-cam video
Yup.

Good captain, kept behind the wave
That looks scary. That was one helluva boat tho. And good driving
Nice job, Nice boat too.
Looks like it just cut through the waves. Very nice 👍
Wow, that's a much bigger boat than it first appears - no wonder it's so stable.
Looks like it's almost on the plane. Nice wake.
What plane
@@thegeneral3094 heliiiiicopter helicopterrrr
Thing of beauty watching a really stable boat with a confident pilot who rides a wave in.
Smooth operator!!💪💪👍👍
Good boat Great captain.
Kept her in step till clear.
Good job!
Damn, that was smooth!

Outstanding !!
That boat has a megga power advantage. No problem at all.
Excellent Ride on the back side of the incoming
Stay...on...the...power! 🤘🇨🇦
Nice design! There was no pucker factor crossing that bar.
Nice shot, beautiful boat!

Like a f'n BOSS!!!
Like a boss
Done like a Boss...
One hell of a bar exam!
Please tell me what " a bar full of pressure waves " is ? The skipper has obviosly benn in and out of this place more than once.
Waves moving in multiple directions in one area, not in one direction as usual.
Proper boat for the job ample power and and a man who knows what he is doing. And still not simple
PC of cake! Tunes were good
The skipper got skills.....
nice vessel, slick entry
She is a bigger boat that you think at first. BJ
It's a good Captain there. never amazes me people ruin good video with horrible music i much rather hear the motor and the noise of the waves
I'm the same way although in this particular video my guess is there wouldn't be much motor noise heard over the thick sound of so much churning water...and that would be just fine. Same sentiments with a video I watched of a lawn tractor cutting some overgrown vegetation. Ruined the video with music
Nice approach close to the rocks but in control.
You just gotta know WHERE the rocks ... aren't.
Zambucca now in the cook islands
Beautiful Boat Awesome Skills A+ 🙏
Does he have any fluffy dice hanging over the dashboard?
Captain have nice skill.Good video and music.Regards from Serbia.
Like a boss!
He followed a wave at a matching speed correctly, however that's a big ass, powerful boat. The smaller the boat, the more problems you run into.
I like the music....thats a nice boat too
Why don't they dredge the inlet to deeping it ? That's what my state does. wtf ?
👍👍Nice.😆
Boats got some power. We recently had a similar boat built for prawning here in BC. You guys haul on the left? I guess everything is backwards down there lol.
AKAKANADIAN Comes down to owners preference. I worked on boats here in West Australia that hauled on port and starboard sides.
Yea but that is a baby bar but that is a nice lobster boat I could give it a real test on the Humboldt bay bar or Columbia river bar 20' to 30' and breaking.
Nice vessel being well handled. Made easy work of that.
Sweet!!!!!!!
Charter boat from Raglan now, awesome to fish from.
Should always come in on the BACK of the wave ...... obviously having adequate power is always essential
Nice boat....
i agree needs more cowbell
ps, i came here from randomyoutubecomment.com
I live for more cow bell
Is there a difference between going outbound vs. inbound? I'm not a boat guy.
wow that inlet sux it is scary could easily take out a skiff or a 50ft ship big different from port everglades
it's all about being able to time a wave and stay with it. Not always about the boat.
What is the bar
Looks like a well marked channel with all the aids to navigation.
Whoa! That was a boat in the water!
This bar can get pretty rough... though is better than a lot of river bars
badass boat
It's the non flooded bars that pose the biggest problem!
Mastered large plaining hulls for many years and have seen this go pear shaped many times , larger following seas or hynautic steering or cable steering failure would produce a negative outcome . The ocean loves heroes , she is full of them !
That, ladies and gentlemen, is how you handle a boat properly.
I lived there as a 2.5-4 year old and remember to this day hearing about the "treachorous sand bar "
Probably has like 1,300 HP and he does it 6 times a week.
If all bar crossings were that smooth there would be no reason for bar crossing videos, would there?
NZ you say. Looks very similar to Depoe Bay, OR
LOL the "Hole in the Wall"
As Sandy as those breaker are that bar is shallow enough wade across, not like the COLUMBIA RIVER bar.
Wow until camera pulls back looks like no big deal 🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️
Then holy crap 😰😰😰
Great boat driver.
I'm
@@tuanngo6723 ㄠ
No bc he let the wave ride in on his back could have ended capsize
Oh why the background noise?!! let us hear the wind and waves.
Big storm ?
top skipper
gyro stabilizing system? it just cuts

Speed and power helps!
This guy's no rookie
crazy commute to work
Was that it ?
GET IN!
Just got to keep ahead of following wave and make sure you don't surf down the one in front of you - easy
Could have done that bar in my 12 footer !
Ya upside down! LOL
Seen this done a million times, nothing fancy about it
Its just new zealand captain ! Some sailors else !
not a boat guy.........does anyone "bottom" on the "bar"? Or do you coss the "bar" only at high tide?
this guy looks like he know what he's doing...

Daveinet You don’t stay ahead of the wave coming in through a bar - you stay behind a wave, with your nose right up its bum!
@@SpatialGuy77 & ahead of the one behind you that has it's nose up yours😂
Laughing here! BTDT.@@qmmo

beautiful boat looks ex patrol boat?
Easy if you have the power and speed. Most boats on here dont have both.
It's look like a lorry on road ways. Wow Experienced Caption.
