Don't put yourself in that situation. He took a vessel that had no business being there and asked it to do something it would have had trouble doing when it was new fifty years ago. The easy fix to this is to MAINTAIN your equipment.

⁠I certainly am no expert and generally use smaller (16-18 ft) aluminum fishing boats on fresh water but have been boating accident for 50 years. I respect the water,I know it does not give a hoot about my safety so it is up to me. Maybe get the anchor out quicker, try to get the bow into the waves, and call the Tow Boat guys immediately. At least no-one was hurt, looks to be minimal damage to the boat but I wager one very bruised ego. Also do very extensive checks prior to casting off and get proper engine maintenance per the manufactures recommendations. If they lost power 10 miles out it could have been much worse. Set up a checklist and follow it prior to setting off.

No proper ground tackle, rode way too short, and tying it to a stern cleat. Well, that's landlubberly for sure.

Anchor from the bow. Keep bow pointed into surf. Have suffucient anchor line...80 to 100', so his anchor has a chance to deploy in the sand. Do not have your line tied/spliced as it appears. That poor guy! He has no clue who to do.

what a wonderful place 😅❤😊

The tow boat has an anchor off the bow while hooking up. Good example of the proper way to do things.

Gotta drop that anchor as soon as motor died. And for God's sake, never anchor so the stern is taking the waves!!!

At least nobody was hurt, except the guy sitting on the deck who looked checked out. They're lucky to have gone up on a sand beach instead of into rocks that would have caused serious damage and potential loss of life. Credit to the Captain for continuing to stay present and observant, trying to think of solutions. IMO I would have set the anchor earlier, off the bow, and held it until it caught, which clearly is challenging in soft sand. As soon as the motor was dead, I would have pulled out lifejackets and insisted everyone have them on. Otherwise, I don't think there's much he could have done.

I do agree!

Some deck hand he has there, they sure know how to keep a boat seat warm.

More than the boats worth

I'm watching the pedestal seats in the beginning. Was sure they were about to snap off just wallowing around. Plus, is an older boat with an inboard. I'm guessing not a lot of upkeep was done.

There are worst places to end up than that sandy beach friends.

Agreed with anchor drop from the bow!! As for frustration he was, who wouldn’t? The fact that it looks like he kept his cool and stayed with the boat and tried like hell to get it turned into the waves I commend him. Looked like a soft beach and everyone walked away. Seeing others they have not a care in the world. Great video!

The video is so beautiful, the waves are great, thank you for the video

I never find joy watching anyone go thru that. The tow bill is equal to the maintenance he'll need to have done to get his boat able to run securely again. That's his pride and joy and I hope it's running soon again.

Happened to me but lucky I was in a 15' jon boat, on a lake.

If the Muppet had anchored the bow into the waves, He wouldn't have been pushed onto the beach.

The cap had a long time to throw an anchor and have not done so. He landed like half a mile south from the inlet. He had plenty of time.

You have to be ready to drop anchor and the first sign of trouble. This guy was not ready nor did he have an appropriate anchor line length that should have been attached at the bow. As far as cost, if he had towing insurance it would not cost anything. No insurance, probably $1000.

Very nice boat👍🏿🤙🏿

You wrote that Fast Recovery came back to recover "their anchor". Whose anchor was it, the disabled craft's or Fast Recovery's? The phrasing makes me think it was Fast Recovery's.

if you dont mind me asking, once they were able to tow the boat back into the open water, why didn'y the captain and his passengers get back on the boat, or werent they allowed to get back on the boat?

It can happen to any captain, but it doesn't have too. Captain fail to recognize the danger. One must be aware that, in case of lose of propulsion, the wind, waves and current may drift the boat. In this case, the combination led them to shore. Captain should've droped anchor sooner. A secure anchor point on a boat isn't the stern. It's the bow. That is why, on my boat I have a cable which is called, according to weakipedia Hawser, here we call it Boça, which is use for this purpose. I use it for anchoring, but it is designed to tow me if needed. I consider this captain a lucky C because not every inlet has a perfect landing spot like the one here. No damage has been seriously done to the boat, only the captain's pride was hurt in this video, which is good. Well, there was a slight back flip while one of the passengers was trying to get out, other than that. I hope everyone is fine.

Looks like they didn't even have lifejackets. Very unprepared

I think it was actually a notsowellcraft.

Make sure to keep all the necessary safety and emergency equipment on board. A proper tow line could've been helpful getting him to a safer place. I'm sure someone would've helped.

Captain should have dropped anchor with bow into the waves. Would have absorbed the energy a little better.

I would of anchored into the waves and called sea tow

Small boats like that are susceptible to more abuse. Coming down hard off of a big wave can jar and break numerous things. Only suggestion I have is to purchase a box anchor and maybe it would have stopped him from being beached.

Anchor time !

Good thing he didn't get pushed out further out to sea or hit another boat or rocks causing more damage

Huh, I guess there is such a thing as a bad day on the water.

The PIC helmsman (probably owner) (let's not call him a captain please) was being foolish pushing the boat when on the beach. He is really lucky he didn't crush his foot or break his tibia or knee by falling.

Don't anchor from the stern or your chances of swamping and sinking from oncoming waves goes way up. Should have had one of the druggies jump in and hand-set that anchor and move the attchment point to the bow.

Captain? Ye. Right

Interesting legal dimema. The skipper abandoned the boat and the salvage company retrieved it. That makes them the owner now.

The only certain way to prevent that is to not leave the dock.

People need to learn how to properly use anchors

Exactly the way he had the one anchor line dangling off the back of the boat. It looked as if it only had 35 foot of rope for ocean anchor? He did not even raise his outdrive when the boat got beached. It looked like it was all the way down Position.

thrown anchor off bow

Motley crew

Never anchor from the stern in this situation! He should have had way more anchor line as well and both should have had their life jackets on as well.

At 4:25 the captain finds out how much the tow is gonna cost. Watch his reaction.

I thought the guy in the green might of been his long lost brother.

Awesome how no one offers to help for free and tow him out.

Life jackets ? That could have went bad

every boat should have two means of propulsion. having a fail safe is important.

Exactly he probably had the wrong size anchor for that size of boat. Also, even if he had both of the right equipment 150 foot rope with a big anchor he still would not have known how to use it as you can tell when the boat beached he had to outdrive all the way down in a full position, didn’t even raise it.

The cost is more than vessel value! Salvage job. The company is actually up to percentage value vessel at the time of salvage.

Tying the anchor to the stern was absolutely stupid, just gave a nice flat surface for the waves to pound against and push him to shore. His first action that close to the beach should have been to drop a Bow anchor, or two to keep him floating and out of the surf.

Would have worked fine if he had the proper size anchor and rode.

Dude throw out the hook

Always a tough watch when a day on the water takes a turn like this. Pro tip for any fellow boaters: Always have your anchor ready to deploy with sufficient line length (100' recommended) and make sure it's attached from the bow, not the stern, to face into the waves effectively. This could give the boat a fighting chance against being pushed ashore by the surf. Stay prepared and stay safe out there, everyone! 🌊🛥

The captain could start with a complete bodywax

Tragic?

have enough anchor line which is way more than most understand.................AND anchor from the front of the boat LOL WTF? MIke Davison Outdoors on u tube. We really risk our lives in the pacific northwest fishing on the Pacific ocean for Halibut, ling cod, salmon etc. No room for errors in our boats.

Drop anchor off front first thing ALWAYS

Ugh! Step 1: immediately throw out anchor when engine dies. Step 2: Put at least 7 scope of anchor line out. He did not have nearly enough anchor line out to let the anchor hold properly. Step 3: tie the anchor to the bow of the boat so the boat is facing into the wind/current. Many mistakes unfortunately. Completely preventable.

He should have dropped anchor and called SeaTow

As the captain, i would've.. sailed somewhere else.

How much $$$ is this ??

At least they're not in the middle of nowhere.
