Looks to me like he tried to turn around when he realized he wouldn’t fit. Probably should’ve checked that first and it’s not too hard. Most chartplotters have that information built in. So besides that he should’ve backed down HARD and straight instead of trying to turn around (assuming he was doing that. I can’t come up with any other explanation as to how he got sideways to the current). Once he was sideways, it was too late nothing can get you out of that with the current ripping like that. Edit. Since there are so many couch captains out here I have to add, since we didn’t see the minutes leading up to this nor were any of us on the boat, anything said here is at best speculation.

I’m up in Canada and I can check the tide charts for Haulover. Million dollar boat, one dollar skipper.

6:48 wasn't a stuff, the wave broke over the bow, but the boat was setup well, just a bigger wave.

Great Drone Shots and Audio ❤

The Nimbus T11 actually did really well. It is unavoidable to not get stuffed by a sharp huge wave like that.

Watching from Colorado and love the drone footage after the regular side shot. Gives that whole "you've got another thing coming" feel (judas priest)😂

R U KIDDIN??? I LOVE the drone shots!!!!!

That Midnight Express stuffing it. Shameful.

All he had to do was go astern, to try a turn in a confined space with a strong current wasn't clever. He's also throttle happy. The fuller clip makes the situation clearer.

It probably would have better to allow the satellite dishes to get ripped off than to bounce the hull off the bumpers.

The Formula 400 captain almost had it just right. The first few waves, he was going a little too fast, which caused him to come down a wave too quickly. He slowed down after he stuffed it that first time. After that, that is how you drive one of those size boats. You go slow, with the bow high, and accelerate just enough to keep the tip of the bow over the top of the crest. Going any faster causes the bow to come down too quickly between waves and causes a stuff.

No sweat from that Formula. That's one tough boat.

In France when you pass the permit for high seas you always have in the exam a calculation of tides at a certain harbour at a certain time , the captain did not plan correctly or the owner changed the program of the cruise and this situation occured .

We have the same here in the US, this guy forgot how to utilize his tides and currents book after he passed the test. I wouldn't call him a captain, much less a Master of the vessel. A Novice large vessel operator.

Keys to avoid stuffing in big swells on small boat: 1. Trim bow up as much a possible while maintaining sufficient control 2. Don't go head on, apply as much approach angle as possible 3. Gage speed according to wave. You’ll stay dry

That tide is very fast if you look down at the water. That definitely made it a lot hard to maneuver quickly

Yes the drone shots are great.

If anyone’s in the market for a used boat in south Florida, I’d watch this channel and see if the one you’re looking at buying makes any appearances. Will tell you how well it was cared for.

The drone shots are VERY cool!

32 ft Proline walk around/cabin - trim the bow up and plow ahead at 16 knots; take the waves at a 30 degree angle as appropriate; cut the speed when the crest of the water is about the touch the high bowsprit as necessary. Following seas are preferred, lol

Great drone footage - keep it up!

It all depends on the combination of tide and wind. There are plenty of videos where boats are able to fly through there at 40 miles an hour and the water is glass smooth

Captain's error. In my 200-ton class, we were tested on the height of tides and current speed. The captain should have known the height of his vessel as it related to the height of any structure prior to him approaching it.

What most of these people don't understand.... speed is your friend. Just like on a motorcycle or mt. bike. You can launch off one wave and land on the backside of another, rinse and repeat. It's not that difficult. You just have to constantly work the throttle.

Cool video 👍

A good captain is always planning ahead, you learn to read the conditions and the waves too. As for crashing the boat, it’s a sign of inexperience as it were. You must allow for the weather conditions to change, in an instant it can go wrong. Keep focused on what you are doing and don’t get distracted by others around you. By all means have fun but the sea can be a dangerous place too,show it some respect.

Is it just me or does anyone else who has a boat just like to go out to unwind and have a calm relaxing day out on the water? There is no way I would consider venturing out on some of those boats on an inland lake with waves half that size let alone going out in to the ocean. If I had to practically risk my life just to get out of the inlet to go boating, I would turn around and call it a day. To each their own. Yeah, that captain will be looking for a new 'command' after that bone headed stunt.
