Seriously, this little thread has me thinking I need to scratch build one of those 4 or 5 motor center console Midnight Express 50 footer boats. They look really awesome.
I have spent 8 yrs in the Royal Australian Navy, l have sailed around the world, l have been in force 10 gales on a aircraft carrier, a force 8 and 9 in a navy destroyer. I have owned a yacht, now a days lm proud to say lm a fair weather sailor, been there, done that. So when l see people who want to go out in rough seas, l just think, stupid. 😆
For those who don't know how to navigate an inlet with a hard outgoing tide, here are some hints. Going out is not so bad, you do have to watch the fact that if you are not going faster than the tide, you can loose the ability to navigate(turn). Coming in is the tricky part. The rule you want to follow is never let your bow dip down, the tide will pull it under. The safest way is to put your bow on the back of a wave, match it's speed, and follow it in. When the wave dissipates if there are no more waves to fall off of, you can take off. One thing you have to remember. When you are maneuvering to enter the inlet and get on the back of your wave, make sure no wave sneaks up behind you and lifts your stern. This will also make your bow dive down and can be disastrous. So in summary, going in on and outgoing tide, don't go over the top of a wave and fall off and don't let a wave catch up to you from behind. Make sure you boat has enough power to keep up with the outgoing tide while pushing on a wave. This can be tricky if you think you have a super fast boat, but it's propped just for speed, it still might not have the power to keep you in position.
Oh man, at first I thought the Estrella didn't look as good as the Scout 530, but looking at it like this, I take it back. That thing is gorgeous! And seeing it being captained that well in those waters... sublime! Thank you bro!
Instead of getting those puny 450's though I would have opted for the 627 Seven Marine engines 4 of them is almost equal to 6 of the 450's but with drastically reduced drag and fuel burn, plus lower maintenance. But at 70K+ a pop they are a bit pricey.
That first boat cut right threw the watter like it was on flat water who ever desighned that boat good job it probly gulps fuil but its a smoth ride 65 esrellia
Enjoyed the show! Very entertaining. The Ferretis and Hatteras hulls were beautiful.With the breakers .The jet skis though.Well I'm an old salt and they really should be playing a little further out.Give the weekenders some room at the entrance. I seen too many accidents at sea .
I watch the videos and I am always amazed by the fact the a person can spend MILLIONS on a boat but doesn’t know to go through this inlet with the boat up and on plane.
I agree. My father always had us put the fenders away when not in use, it looks sloppy if they're out while under way. I laugh when I see a boat on a trailer on the highway with fenders out.....what are they going to tie up to? 🤷🏼♀️
The HCB...that is one boat/captain that could have rolled in at high speed and not felt a thing. But the captain came in with respect and grace nice and easy. No need to show off with speed.
Captain in the boat at 1:45 was alright IMO? His return trip was very very smooth. Could of been a little better on the out trip. Wonder why he didn't try to get his ski back? No rope maybe?
Boats have ropes. In abundance.....He didnt know it had gone and anyway he was on his own. Even trying to get it on his own is risky to his own safety , and almost impossible in those choppy seas when you think about it
There's been a few days that my 36 yellowfin (and me knowing what in doing at the helm) felt like not enough boat. Skill at the helm makes any boat "bigger" (meaning knowing what you are doing makes your boat handle rough stuff better then a bigger boat that has a less skilled pilot at the helm) but some times the rollers are spaced just right to really make it tough... I have never been out there in rhr 36 and felt dangerous but it will wake you up on rough days... A lot of days are pretty smooth but HO can get nasty that's for sure.
A small boat (often inflatable or rib) that sits on the back of a larger boat/yacht that can be lowered into the water to allow the crew to get to shore whilst the bigger boat is anchored off shore. Also used for recreational stuff like exploring from the larger boat. When you don't have mooring to a quay it is the only way to get to shore unless you want to swim. The bigger the big boat, the bigger the tender can be, some tenders are quite large and may actually reside within the body of the larger boat.
A 65’ quint center console demonstrates more money than brains.. 👩💻engineering proves it….but that’s Florida…..man?! I would be disappointed if Florida Man wasn’t so predictable over the last 60 years😳 Greetings from Newport Beach, CA😎
Bill Vekas they are not antennas they’re outriggers they have them out because if they had them up they would of hit the bridge of course you would’ve known that if you had payed attention to the video
Gota get to the jet ski if you’re going to save the girl. He did the right thing going straight after the jet ski. It could easily have gotten away from him.
I expected to see at least one body fly off the second deck of the Atlantis. That was terrible. I bet some people on that trip never get on a boat again. And I’m also convinced that some people never bother to check the marine weather for current and expected conditions. They get too far gone in the inlet and say “oh, shit”. .
Thank you for the video . Here are some more of my armchair observations . It just seems curious to me that , that boat got all the way to the rip before turning about and loosing his tender . That HCB entered the inlet like he owned it . And finally I am always amazed at the beating those jet skis take . I have expect them to launch off a wave just to disintegrate on impact .
richard welk iv there is a video floating around of a guy jumping his jet ski off big swells and when he lands he face plants into the handle bars opening his face up - it’s a really nasty injury. Anyway he had a l.o.c. and floated face down until another rider saw him, rolled him on his back and waited for paramedics. He was was within seconds from death. I recon they are the equivalent of the dickhead bike riders on the roads🇦🇺
If that guy on that Princess Yacht would’ve been going as fast as that guy was on that Ferretti Yacht then he wouldn’t have lost his tender and did u ever see if he got his tender back? I seen the two sea tow guys coming back in at the end of the video and I didn’t see either one of them pulling that tender back in!! Did the police take it?! That was a good video also but not as good as the fast boats on the last one but this one was good as well!!! Keep up the awesome work big man!!!!
Wasn’t a JetSki as only Kawasaki makes those, but rather a Honda AquaTrax PWC. Appears to have a custom paint job or vinyl wrap which covered any markings. They stopped making them in 2010 due to lack of sales. The Turbo version had awful turbo lag as well.
The Inboard sportfishermans with fly bridge like the viking's are always going to be the scene stealers. Classic beauties and sound and feel so different than outboard. Also this passage is not for recreation and playing with big waves . So jet skis should be monitored and fined if driving reckless like the first duo.
Thats why it is not a good idea to take the boat alone. If he had 1 more person with him he could retrieve the tender. Happy new Year Zip. Waiting for more awesome videos in 2020 :)
Thanks! I think it is wise to not boat alone, you probably feel very safe on a yacht of that size (As big as a condo), but things happen unexpectedly. Happy New Year!
Lots of money but no brains...notice how all the boats continue in the rough water...and big waves...but just to the sides of the inlet the water is calm. I used to live near Haulover and ran the inlet in all kinds of weather. Just past the jetty, on either side the water is deep and calm . Actually, I should say...CALMER! its still a bit rough. Note how the Hattereas 36 came in... rather than beat his brains out in the extremely rough waters...he cut in through the side where the waves are alot smaller. Hes a charter boat that runs Haulover serveral times a day and knows how to do it.
I really like how you put all the models of the boats on there. 👍
I was waiting on a caption for the bird.
U little boat spotter bet u play with em in bath
Right? Now if I ever wanna go boat shopping with the money I do not have I’ll know which one to stare at

Absolutely love watching these videos. Who knew watching boats going in and out of an inlet could be so entertaining.
Very calming. Water and wave movement with a parade of boats

I don't have a boat, and don't particularly like going on boats. I love these videos great stuff. Reminds me why.
I absolutely adore the sound of those Detroit 6-71s on Atlantis (6:30). Very reliable and nice sounding engines.
Those Midnight Express boats are so stunning.
Hats off to the Estrella Skipper...calm, cool, collected.

HCB 65’ Estrella cruising the inlet like it’s flat water on a Sunday morning 😂
There’s no replacement for (hull) displacement ...
Notice how the sport fisherman master it. The guys with the boats out to impress have not got a clue.
Huge fan of your videos! Keeps me dreaming of sunny days on the water. Thank you!!!
Ate an edible and have been on your AMAZING CHANNEL for well over 3 hrs now
I genuinely do not understand why someone would want a 65’ center console. For that kind of money I would at least want a cabin.
has a dope cabin
Because these people want to maximize outdoor seating space for their sandbar partying. Theyre just big day boats
You should look at the interior before you say that. The cabin is beautiful and full bathroom

You plonker you don't go on plane through rough breaking waves I can see you don't own a boat
Wow! I bet she's really impressed now with that maneuver.
People are such hater, no one screamed to let him know what was happening. It would have made for better content having him try to recover it.
It’s more funny to watch him not even notice. Too much money and not enough brains to look over his shoulder from time to time
He'd have likely had a worse day messing about in there.
Great video guys. Keep up the great work
Love seeing those Waverunners jump! Great video.

I did one of those party fishing boats once in LBI NJ. Half the boat was puking the entire time.
Lots of barfing on Atlantis I reckon.🤮
Mother-in-law was in the tender, he’s no dummy...
That 65 was like what Inlet 🧐😂👊🏼
Had the drone out yesterday and saw that. I can't tell ya how many boats run around with their tenders not secure.
Saw a big HCB boat cruise through the ft. Lauderdale canal. It was too far out for me to film. Got a 57ft MTI on film though!
nice. let me know when you get that vid posted!
@@ZipZapPower Should be posted tonight. If not tomorrow.
0:45 does anyone else think that center consoles are becoming a bit excessive?
That HCB has the worst bang-to-buck ratio ever. It's such a pointless boat
Name a better more versatile platform to build off of though.

So Awesome I know. BIG $.
Props to the sea tow guy, handling those swells like a boss -- in a zodiak haha
I wondered why so many of the boats were coming in with their outriggers still out! Thank you Zippy!
you were not alone! i figured 6 years in, i should probably address that!
From what I saw, they need them out so they don't hit the bridge
You are still the best zipzap, forget about the imitators!
Thanks! Variety should be ramping up, my crew in Miami is getting up to speed, freeing me up to hit places all over the country in 2020.
That Estrella at the beginning might as well have been a Navy Destroyer for how smooth it went through
Beautiful isn’t it
Do you know if the guy came back out to get his tender. It looked like him coming back out when the outrigger was going through.
That edit was not in sequence. do not know.
"Is it my imagination, or did I have a jet ski when I left the dock this morning?"
gét élyric jet ski
That HCB just slid right through
Thanks for clarifying why they are coming in with their outriggers out!!
Next time I go to nude beach I'll definitely check out this dangerous inlet! Cool videos.
The Hatteras owned the inlet like a BOSS.
I got seasick for the first and last time on a boat like that. It should be listed as a torture technique
I went on Therapy IV - had a great day’s fishing!
@8:45 the Gillagins island theme song pops in my head...
65 ESTREALLA?!?!? Goddamn!! That thing is huge, rich ass folks on that boat, shoulda got some seven marine engines
In Norway, not hiding the fenders away is a common giveaway that the captain or people onboard are rookies, or just dumb.
Those are the only options?
Bold
Ex retd
I agree. My father always had us put the fenders away when not in use, it looks sloppy if they're out while under way.
I laugh when I see a boat on a trailer on the highway with fenders out.....what are they going to tie up to? 🤷🏼♀️

Nice gull - thank you.
@ 9:31 il Ferretti fa vedere chi comanda!

Haha right after I yelled they need to pick them damn out riggers up you put there down to clear the bridge and I felt stupid 🤣🤣
Captain in the boat at 1:45 was alright IMO? His return trip was very very smooth. Could of been a little better on the out trip. Wonder why he didn't try to get his ski back? No rope maybe?
Most impressed with the Hatteras 36
Boats have ropes. In abundance.....He didnt know it had gone and anyway he was on his own. Even trying to get it on his own is risky to his own safety , and almost impossible in those choppy seas when you think about it
So videos with Estrella in them get 2,000,000+ views. Nice!
Happy new year from Australia 🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺
Cheers!
With Marnier time rules if you retrieve the tender is it yours? I'm in Missouri I know little about the ocean and the rules.
Since every boat is registered nowadays, I doubt it.
7:35 is like Nope!....I’m waiting till slack tide
I notice many of these boats have an opening near the bow which goes all they way through the hull from side to side. What is this for?
You mean the bow thruster? It’s making it easier for the captain to dock the boat.
That Estrella is CRAAAAAAZY BIG for a CC. what an insane boat. I bet it gets great mileage.
That captain of the 48 Hatteras was a pro, surfed the wave all the way in 👍.
Another year of great videos. Thank you.
I would never go thru that area with my 2150 Tahoe ...it’s just too much. Even big boats have a hard time going thru there.
There's been a few days that my 36 yellowfin (and me knowing what in doing at the helm) felt like not enough boat. Skill at the helm makes any boat "bigger" (meaning knowing what you are doing makes your boat handle rough stuff better then a bigger boat that has a less skilled pilot at the helm) but some times the rollers are spaced just right to really make it tough...

Anyone noticed the pelican fly of the Stern of Therapy IV around @9:00? 😄
The charters cut through it like a lazy Sunday.
The boat that lost its tender? How ironic that its name is "Forge Ahead"
What’s the definition of a tender? I have only heard that term since I started watching Below Decks.
A small boat (often inflatable or rib) that sits on the back of a larger boat/yacht that can be lowered into the water to allow the crew to get to shore whilst the bigger boat is anchored off shore. Also used for recreational stuff like exploring from the larger boat. When you don't have mooring to a quay it is the only way to get to shore unless you want to swim. The bigger the big boat, the bigger the tender can be, some tenders are quite large and may actually reside within the body of the larger boat.
Sea Ray with fenders out...big surprise there.
Fenders out with a bro on the bow, no life jacket, and some good swell. Yeah I think we have a bingo winner here
Great video!!!...Iam even more sacred of the ocean !😬
That 65 is amazing to see
That party fishing boat looked like an E-ticket ride.
I will definitely hit that 👍LIKE button for not being on the party boat.. HOLY WHITE CAPS BATMAN!!!

Greetings from Newport Beach, CA😎
I think it's the stupidest boat ever build, bad design and have any purpose to even why this abomination exist
Trim angles are important , sometimes
Therapy IV has a good skipper.
Didn't even realize his tender fell off lol. They have registration on the side of them right? To find out who owns it? Bc my man was oblivious lol
Why they don't close those antennas both sides of the vessel ? It is a narrow pass and they are not alone.
Bill Vekas they are not antennas they’re outriggers they have them out because if they had them up they would of hit the bridge of course you would’ve known that if you had payed attention to the video

I think the pilot of Atlantis needs to go back to school,shocking boatmanship
Any boater worth their salt knows not to attack waves like that
Where's the boat from the thumbnail?
1:41
That 65' Estrella looks low in the bow. I wonder how easy it would be to submarine that open bucket low bow?
It came in like a Boss, low and slow. Heavy boat.
it looks low because the proportions of the boat are really good--the thing is huge
