- In this episode I go over one of the most common questions asked when out on the ocean fishing... If it looks like I'm going to cross paths with another boat that's fishing, who has the right of way? Believe it or not... there is a clear & concise answer. I also cover some details about the proper terminology when it comes to navigation and international maritime laws. If you've ever encountered this utterly abundant problem and are looking for the answer, or your new to boating looking for some proper guidance on 'rules of the road'... This episode's for you.
Enjoy,
Tight lines & good vibes.

I always like the red light, green light analogy. Night boating makes this especially clear. See the red port lights on a boat? Your job to move. See green starboard? Carry on through.
Awesome explanation! The problem is that most boaters on the water have not clue. I have on a most occasions just give way because don’t want to risk my life on another person’s lack of knowledge.
A simple rule of thumb in a trolling scenorio, to know which boat has the right of way, is to use the nav lights on each boat like traffic lights. Ie, if your boat is looking at the other boats port light which is red , you have to give way.(like a stop light) the other boat will be looking at your starboard light( green,) giving them the go signel. So in conclusion whatever colour light you are looking at on the other vessel tells you who is the stand on vessel and who is the give way vessel. This is only true in open water.
Great tip 😀
What if you are in a channel, and they are running across it?
Hi Heath, Great lesson. When I had my boats, I always gave way. Too many boater don't know what they doing. I always played it safe. Take care and good luck, Mickey
Hey Mickey, I completely agree... this is a rule set forth by the IMO, however, they also say if the give way boat isn't cooperating, do what you gotta do to avoid a bad situation. So you were ahead of the game. Hope all is well with yourself and the family. Take care, talk to you soon.
Hi Heath, There are no white lines in the water and it seems like boaters are having fun and don't pay much attention. We're well up here. Take care, Mickey
Good clear concise info…but like others have already mentioned don’t take it for granted that every boater is as knowledgable.
Great Video Heath, I hope this one goes viral would educate a lot boaters out there for the better!
Thank you Teacher, another Great Video!!!! .It is Crazy in Miami about navigation. See you on the Water!!!!
Great video, very informative! Thanks
Think about the the color of the position lights that would be observed and that always answers the question Stand ON/Give way quesiton
Correct 💥💯💥
I like the intro as aiming at the fishing audience. Sailors usually take some kind of course to learn about their boats and get the rules of navigation too.
Nice explanation, too. Read a nice “red light green light” rule, too. I wish this mattered more, but too many boat owners are ignorant, jerks or both, usually defaulting to “I’m bigger” or “I don’t care”. For us that know and choose to give way to the idiots, we teach them nothing except that the idiots will always win. No respect, no responsibility. Kinda sucks away the joy of boating for us. I’ve been on the water 40+ years and saw an explosion of idiots with the Covid rush to buy a boat.
Fair winds & plentiful fish!
Couldn't have said it better myself 😁
Love what you’re doing brotha!!! 😎
The one on the right , just like 4way stop sign the one on right has right of way
Thank you for the infor.
Right on Capt
Someone can correct me but i believe that’s underway in normal operation. He’s talking about multiple boats stacked up on a FAD working a scool of fish in a tight area etc trolling offshore and the like.
No air traffic controller out there lining us up on runways green to green cap while we miss the bite and drive fish down. Just a way to be respectful in the chaos
Well done!
Great video thanks
Great info Heath. Rules won't change the minds of stupid boaters unfortunately but great to see you lay out some facts
Mama always said "you can't fix stupid" 😁
Thanks that is good info. Obviously there are many other factors to consider .
So what happens in a case where two boats are heading directly at each other in a straight line, Are they each supposed to turn left or turn right? Cos if they play the guessing game.....and obviously there are many other factors to consider.
You are correct. Always pass to the port if you are heading directly towards another boat. Thanks 😁
Both vessels alter to starboard, just the same as you would do on a narrow road. On Inland waters, the Rule gives an option " (a) Unless otherwise agreed, when two power-driven vessels are meeting on reciprocal or nearly reciprocal courses so as to involve risk of collision each shall alter her course to starboard so that each shall pass on the port side of the other."
Great video. Any tips on kicking the sea sickness? I've been going for the past year and still get sea sick... I'm pretty stubborn so I just keep fishing but it'd be nice to fully enjoy being out in the ocean with God and good buddies
Childrens Dramamine about an hour before you leave... and stay hydrated
I get seasick too... and I've been on the water for 40 years 🤣🤣🤣
@@SouthFloridaSaltwaterFishing Damn well that makes me feel better! If the man himself gets sick, I shouldn't worry about it too much. To be fair, I got sick yesterday because it was 3ft 4 seconds out of Ponce 🤣
@@MRMIKE276 yesterday was pretty sporty
Take a Dramamine the night before at bedtime. Take another Dramamine the next morning 1 hour before you go out. Works like a charm.
What about a faster boat wanting to pass a slower boat?
Slower boat has the right of way... A boat being overtaken is the stand-on boat.
I never trust another boat to see me.
Ill give you a like when you cut your neck hair down.
🤣🤣🤣 working on mullet
@@SouthFloridaSaltwaterFishing Good stuff though. I wish my instructors spoke like this during class. Id not feel so dumb. Thanks man! I gave you a like!
Thanks Heath , I have a sailboat with downriggers at the back , my sails are driving the boat , engine off.
You better get out of my way , no matter where you come from . 😏
Although your rule also applies when 2 sailing vessels under sail meet.
A sailboat under sail will only have to give way to large comercial vessels.
We stay away from you folks. Too many ropes make me nervous. 🙂
Don't worry. We don't want anything to do with you clowns on sailboats. Bunch of liberal douchebags.
