55:32 The jetskier is definitely in the wrong. Inlets and Outlets are made to go IN and OUT to reach a marina or harbor, they are basically like a two way street and you are always to remain parallel to the shore on each side. They are not made for idiots on jetskis to do donuts in. Also according to maritime regulations, the smaller vessel with more maneuverability should always give way to the bigger vessel that has less maneuverability.

It never ceases to amaze me how many of these boats have kids on board without life vests (especially in choppy weather). In some situations, adults should have life vests on too and I would argue children under a certain age should wear vests). In the US, between 2003 and 2007, over 700 people were killed from being man overboard situations. It's estimated that 90% happen in calm seas under a foot (US Coastguard stats).

thank good the uscg knows how to navigate in tough seas. my daughter worked for disney cruise lines and was a lifeboat captain . tested by the cg in all types of weather. had to know how to maintain the engine and ration food and water. she was the only other person i trusted with my boat. she had one better than me , celestial navigation , using a sextant.

For instance, a sailboat is very difficult to maneuver under sail, but they still need to watch out for larger boats that are under power, no matter where they are. A jey ski can maneuver far quicker and easier than a boat. The boat was not making any unpredictable maneuvers which gives the jet ski ample opportunity to make way.

Watched so many of these, in 2023 and prior years; great to see a year end compilation. I would suggest however, that the main theme of boats that experience trouble or even just unnecessary roughness, is not the inlet itself, although that the very subject of the video. Why is the inlet the way it is? Because the conditions BEYOND THE INLET are inhospitable! You shouldn't be going out into the open water - which is what the inlet takes you to! (duh) - in those kinds of conditions! That is the common theme here. The inlet is just a symptom of what you shouldn't be headed into in the first place.

May I ask a silly question? Is it necessary to obtain a boat license for recreational boats in the Florida/USA? And, are all the boats shown here recreational? Is there a size at which you DO need to be a captain to operate the boat legally? Here in NZ, where we have one of the highest drowning rates in the world (mostly because we all live close to water) I was trained to never get onto a boat (as opposed to a ship, which leans out in a turn) before putting on my life jacket, and never to take it off until I got ashore. Like my Dad (a doctor) used to say, "It's the simplest and easiest thing you can ever do, to ensure you don't die drowning." He said: "It's the cold-water and/or cramps which end up drowning people without lifejackets." Just so you know.

Did devolution start in Florida or does it just gravitate there?

What I see are people(captains), with a lot more money than common sense. Make your crew/passengers get to a spot where they can hold on and get away from the worst of the pounding.

I think the DGS Monster advert was perfect, what is being shown is exactly what we would want to know. Can the boat survive a collision with a hidden underwater rock covered in barnacles.
