Damn didn't know there was this many comments on this that's my boat and thanks for all the compliments on my driving that boat handled amazing 1994 17.2 keywest sportsman
Being honest, I was a bit click bait-e with my title and replies back then (and I know I was totally inaccurate calling it a skiff). You weren't doing anything I wouldn't have done at that age = Nice Piloting 👍
Thanks ya it's all good fun. my buddy was on the other boat he thought I was crazy and my wife and her friend was like let's go lol I've been running boats for a long time it's like second nature to me
Not a skiff thts a bay boat sry skiffs are flat bottom with little to no v tht has a v and not flat I have a Carolina skiff and it will beat you to death in tht kind of water great driving just a normal day in FLORIDA
The slow mo shots show the cavitation in the upper water column caused by faster moving water inside inlet vs slower outside. All said, solid captain. Found following sea and rode with crest. Didn't panic when seas rose ahead of bow and kept on plane when dropped into lower seas.
I saw pretty good timing for waves to the captain, but I also need to give you a big plus for 0:57 of slow motion showing what happen on the deck, nice ;)
Not smart IMO... Things could/would have gone Very Badly for his friends if the would have hit a gust wrong or lost control... irresponsible piloting of the drone.
What do you think was irresponsible about this flight? Knowing the conditions, limitations of the craft and when/where NOT to fly is flying very responsibly... This wasn't done with a FPV/Race drone that can "very easily" lose control, this drone has GPS, Compass and Altimeter stabilization that will literally "not allow it to get out of control" IE it will not roll, loop or even tilt more than a few degrees in any direction. So between that and the wind conditions here were "nowhere near the limit of this drone's capabilities" = this was very safe and 100% in control at all times...
@@KCadbyRacing I'm pointing out the hypocrisy in the description lol. I literally copy and pasted the description and changed 2 words lol. Also I build AP rigs. You're ignorant if you think its impossible for it to fail with all those gps add ons. Those are first to fail
The guy in the MUCH larger boat just burned 5 gallons of fuel , like he was proving something to the 15 year old kids in the skiff. A good Skiff like the Carolina is a killer boat and can handle some rough water very well. They can also pull right up to a sandy beach with no problem. I see people with big boats that really only know how to turn the key and what a steering wheel does.
It amazes me how much HP is bolted onto the back of some of the larger boats now and the GPH burned is staggering, needing to carry hundreds of gallons of gas vs one little fuel tank on a small boat...
So many experts on here, i think this was way safer than going slowly and diving with nose or being turned from the wave in the back...many bigger boats sank from going too slow in situations like this.
I don't think and didn't say he did it badly. I just think he was a bit crazy to Risk his Passengers the way he did (understanding that everyone chose to ride how and where they did) but that's why my original comment says "Things could have gone Very Badly" which they DO from time to time at this inlet...
Hey, screw all the bad comments... Some really nice HD footage!!! -And, yes... in the strong rapids and current of Jupiter, the tiny boat nearly swamped the nose. you aren't wrong about that.
What was crazy? He did awesome. Most people who flip or submarine do it because they're too cautious. Get video of someone freaking out and doing a uturn. Then make sure you throw them a line.
No pfd is the only thing they did wrong. I understand if you don't want to wear it all day, but at least put It on for five minutes when in the inlet danger zone!!!!!!
Not crazy at all ... a capable helmsman and a capable hull. It looks to be either a Hobie Power Skiff (HPS), or an example from one of the companies that later bought the molds and went into production. The HPS was designed by Phil Edwards as a beach-launch rescue boat for the California surf. I don't know for sure that it's an HPS or variant thereof, but there's a TH-cam video about the original HPS: th-cam.com/video/tWrzxOVrahw/w-d-xo.html I own a '86 HPS Fisherman and have run it through nasty slop in Long Island Sound, burying the bow on more than one occasion. The boat is very light and pops right out of the water, while the over-sized scuppers drain the inner hull in just a few seconds. KCadby, we forgive your for being a sensationalist... what kind of boat is it?
I don't know boats like I used to because I haven't lived on the water for decades, I was just visiting the Jupiter and Palm Beach inlets while I was taking care of my mother for the last 28 months of her life...
That’s why I call it Crazy... Yes it turned out OK and each person made they’re own choice but it’s the Captains responsibility to keep everyone on the boat Safe...
If you think this is crazy, you've obviously never been on the ocean. Of course, no need for the "little computer kid" to waste perfectly good air, lol. I like how you think wave hopping to keep from submarining (which can seriously injure/kill passengers) is bad even though your profile picture indicates you like to SKILLFULLY drag race bikes on one wheel when they are built with two. Lots of things can go wrong too when popping wheelies at a high speed and hard asphalt under you; not, at this speed, semi-soft water. I bet you also think cruise ship captains are crazy when they encounter rough weather since it's their job to keep the paying passengers safe. Point made?
Yes I am very skillfull at drag racing bikes AND making it home safely from the Bahamas in a 24ft boat with 12Ft waves that at times were only 30ft appart. It got so ruff on that trip that it took both of us to throttle and stear (and we took one over the stearn rather than submarine) but guess what, I have been called crazy for doing those things and it didn’t bother me... Just because I didn’t name the video or say he’s skillful doesn’t mean I don’t think/know he is. It’s JMO that he was crazy (irresponsible) for risking the girls safety (without at least making her put her freakin drink down and HOLD ON) but the video probably would’t have over 110K views if I called it Irresponsible Skiff Driver would it 😁
Not that crazy accept that people have been killed coming in the Jupiter Inlet (in much bigger boats than that)... I'm sure I would have done that when I was that age, but he's responsible for his passengers as well ;)
I've been away from boats for 20+ years (until I came back to take care of my very ill mother) so I have become very ignorant about boat names, manufacturers and models, so I called this boat a skiff...
I agree, same here, and at night, with a couple good spot lights. It's not so much the size/model of the boat, as much as it's knowing how to read the water, and anticipation. IMHO, nothing can replace experience.
I called this this video Crazy Skiff Driver because: Yes it turned out OK and each person made they’re own choice but it’s the Captains responsibility to keep everyone on the boat Safe...
Marshall.........You really are a liberal MORON......ya know that? For your information, ALL shallow rivers & inlets NATURALLY pick up & carry SEDIMENTS that when seeing it meeting and/or mixing with clear blue/green ocean water, appears to be "dirty". WINDS & CURRENTS ALMOST ALWAYS STIR UP THE BOTTOM IN SHALLOW WATER under 12 feet deep. After a few days of calm winds, the water becomes crystal clear again. This entire estuary/river/lagoon is TEAMING with life. WORLD CLASS FISHING FOR DOZENS OF SPECIES IN THIS VERY RIVER/LAGOON. I KNOW, because I've been living here since 1969. If man never stepped foot in Florida, that water would look the exact same way at certain times. You should see it after a powerful HURRICANE comes through. It looks as muddy as the Mississippi river. Get a clue & do something about that thorough BRAINWASHING you have received. And if you don't like mankind in Florida......THEN LEAD BY EXAMPLE: GET THE HELL OUT. AND STAY OUT.
YES......that IS crazy......and irresponsible for the safety of the passengers onboard. On the brighter side, late in the video: Notice the girl in the bigger boat up front, waiving to the drone camera. The guy seated next to her obviously said something to her right when she waves at the drone. She then takes a slap at him. Gee, I bet ya I know what he said to her: "Show the drone your T*TS"..........LOL!!!

@@johnlanford8605 I grew up on and around boats (and bikes) down there starting in the early 70s so both have always been 2nd nature to me ❤
Somebody's daddy taught em' right. Great job, Capt.
guy looks pretty capable to me.
I go through worse than that in my stick steer! Title should read "excellent skiff driver"
ditto...that was very controlled and smart speed to keep in control
A very capable captain, a very capable small boat. I'll ride with him anytime.
Nothing crazy here. Just a captain who knows how to drive a boat and isn’t afraid to do it.
Perfect bar crossing, not crazy at all.
no bar there, the bar is to the north of the inlet. sometimes the inlet gets filled in but its rare
Good captain, he knows how to handle that boat and the water.
its obvious this guy knows what he's doing....in the hands of an amateur, bad news
Looked to me like he knew what he was doing, and did it very well.
What is crazy about that? They did it right. Those are normal conditions in many places for a bayboat.
That ain’t a skiff. Bay boat or maybe a small deep V140 series. Skiff is flat bottom.
Not a skiff thts a bay boat sry skiffs are flat bottom with little to no v tht has a v and not flat I have a Carolina skiff and it will beat you to death in tht kind of water great driving just a normal day in FLORIDA
I was away from any/all boats for decades = ignorant when I call this a skiff...
Definitely knows what he is doing
The slow mo shots show the cavitation in the upper water column caused by faster moving water inside inlet vs slower outside. All said, solid captain. Found following sea and rode with crest. Didn't panic when seas rose ahead of bow and kept on plane when dropped into lower seas.
Actually smaller boats ride on surf better than a heavy boat but a must have is a motor with some power
I saw pretty good timing for waves to the captain, but I also need to give you a big plus for 0:57 of slow motion showing what happen on the deck, nice ;)

Boat Capt of 36 yrs. You are correct.
looks like a perfectly handled bar crossing in a small boat to me, If you think they did it badly try it yourself sometime. its an art.
I don't think and didn't say he did it badly. I just think he was a bit crazy to Risk his Passengers the way he did (understanding that everyone chose to ride how and where they did) but that's why my original comment says "Things could have gone Very Badly" which they DO from time to time at this inlet...
it can be seen that he was moving wisely from one wave to the other changing speed and direction (experienced dude)
Welcome to Florida on a windy day! See this all the time and worse lol
did i miss the crazy bit
Just about got swallowed by that wave
Hey, screw all the bad comments... Some really nice HD footage!!!
-And, yes... in the strong rapids and current of Jupiter, the tiny boat nearly swamped the nose.
you aren't wrong about that.
Thank you 👍
Believe it or not I've done it on worse chop and swell in a Gheenoe highsider 15 w/15hp Merc. That is actually a fine boat. Even carved waves with it.
Bounce,.. Bounce,.. Bounce,.. Bounce,.. Bounce,..
what kind of boat, great running hull.
Hobie powerskiff
Thats not crazy...
Cool video and great music!
At about minute 1one the waves literally came from at least 5 direction. Fir an instant everything in the world stopped. 😲
What was crazy? He did awesome. Most people who flip or submarine do it because they're too cautious. Get video of someone freaking out and doing a uturn. Then make sure you throw them a line.
Looks like he is having a good day to me 😜
No pfd is the only thing they did wrong. I understand if you don't want to wear it all day, but at least put It on for five minutes when in the inlet danger zone!!!!!!
Yip what crazy, I do that every second trip at sea on my 18'!!
@ 1:55 the girl waves, then the guy flips the middle finger.... girl hits him for that lol!
nice skiff .nice engine siesta 17? .yamaha70?
that guy doing big things lol

I know that now but didn't/don't want to change Title...
Look at the man in the bow of the closer boat @ 1:51-1:56. Lol
Adam Muhsin did he give the finger to the drone? Lol
Little rig did fine.
Wasnt even that rough
Not to bad, in this inlet you need some speed or your nose will dive. Well the lady shouldnt be up front.
That’s why I call it Crazy...
Yes it turned out OK and each person made they’re own choice but it’s the Captains responsibility to keep everyone on the boat Safe...

Thank you 🙂
More money than brains
Nothing crazy about that
5 knots in the harbor, watch your wake!
Yeah, boy, in my harbor no wake means--no wake. Odd to see em going balls out like that, looks really odd.
This is not a harbor, it is a river inlet and the boat Captain did a perfect job.
Great video man that could have gone wrong
I wish Sebastian inlet was that smooth!
what is so crazy about it ? he is just timing the waves and riding right on top of them, my dog can do that.
Not that crazy accept that people have been killed coming in the Jupiter Inlet (in much bigger boats than that)... I'm sure I would have done that when I was that age, but he's responsible for his passengers as well ;)
@@KCadbyRacing And he did a perfect fucking job.
Nice !
Doesn't look like a skiff to me. Wider beam, flat nose, and flat or semi-v hull on skiffs.

I been in rougher water than that in a 14 foot Jon boat with a 15 hp motor.
