A captains license does not replace experience and coaching. Merchant Mariner Credentials are only given to people who can prove years and many hrs of experience. I only point this out because, there is no "captain course". And if there is, its a scam. Nothing replaces years on a boat under the supervision of a seasoned captain.

Headed tward capsize. It was lolling with all the free surface. Most of these production center consoles do not get water out fast enough after stuffing the bow. Most also are not watertight decks--far from it. So you get free surface on deck AND in the bilge. They get very dangerous. They are not real boats. Toys.

At least the kids had life jackets on.

Open bow vessels (bow riders) are at far, far, far greater risk of taking on water and sinking than are closed bow vessels in surf waves. It is every vessel's Captain who has the obligation, responsibility and duty to balance the passenger load in his vessel and to operate their vessel at a safe speed for the conditions on the water. The vessel was in danger of sinking in this video because the Skipper was totally clueless about safely operating his vessel.

Boats generally do not sink Sam - but they do fill with water.

The Scout captain should not have had people in the bow going out of the inlet especially in following seas. It was not about to sink, just unbalanced. Following seas are tough and not easy for novices and even experienced captains.

I would speculate the boat at 1:39, listing side to side, has a hold full of water, although it also appears to be overloaded.
