There's always a bunch of ppl playing on them, so there's ppl everywhere, and the more you get used to landing in deep water and having to swim back the easier it gets, and with lots of ppl around you feel safer

#10 - Sea Fox (blue boat) appears to accelerate, apparently to keep his spot in line, and prevent the larger boat from getting ahead of him. The larger boat also accelerates. The Sea Fox tries to get his spot back in line, in front of the larger boat. But he realizes he can't make it, and when he turns away, his tail swing smacks the larger boat. Sea Fox should have just let the larger boat go. No need to navigate so dangerously close to another vessel just to prove, "I was here first!" Just let it go. "Proving your point" will just escalate the the situation! Better to deescalate and disengage from a confrontation. In boating, keep your cool (it's safer than being a hot head!) ✌️😎🤷🤔

It’s amazing to me how little urgency these people show when one of there friends is almost drowning! That big boat had a paddle board right there next to the guy holding a towel!

If I owned a boat, I wouldn't bring out anyone that wasn't of reasonably sound mind and body to be able to save themselves and exhibit a minimal interest in responsible boating practices.

You can prepare for that. E.g. the girl that went swimming for that long, they could have launched the dinghy and picked her up, they could have launched the paddle board, etc... extend a swim ladder if you already have the swim platform down... However, if I was the skipper on one of these boats, I'd have held a safety briefing before slipping the lines and there would be several people busy trying to get her (or him, doesn't matter) back on board, ASAP. The skipper is responsible for everyone on board and at least here in Europe, he will face charges if someone gets injured or even dies. It doesn't matter if you're on a 5m runabout or a 50m superyacht, you're on the hook and face a possible jail term north of a decade...

Way too many dangerous things going on here! It’s out of control!!!

People don't take the water seriously the sea doesn't take prisoners.

"No one cares if you drown" is the moral of this story..

11.37: Lady went overboard, no life ring with line thrown to assist. Young boy watching on, no life vest sucking a lolly unsupervised as he walked along the Starboard side. A fall or sudden boat movement could have jammed that sucker in his throat, he then could have gone overboard unseen. He would not be able the shout/breath and no auto life vest to keep him afloat. Now that is some crew who can't even foresee danger. I used to have a safety talk with passengers and crew before letting go, crossing the English Channel that would include life vests walking on deck while underway, VHF radio emergency channel and GPS position. simple control of engines and steering. Should I be incapacitated they can summon help. When going for a great day out, make sure you end it that way.

Unbelievable! No one wants to put their drink down when someone is overboard.

The boat blasting out heads high when it's about to sink. 😂😂😂😂

This is why I don't put my boat near any crowded areas. People claim they can operate a vessel but alot of them have issues when pressure has been put on them or they just don't pay attention

a couple of things i noticed the Lady in clip 9 done the right thing turned on her back and floated that helped save her life where as the Lady in the previous clip was in danger of drowning, the Lady turning on her back helped her calm herself down her face hardly went under the water unlike the Lady before hand who we saw go under a few time increasing panic. both cases shock kicked in, the Lady in clip 9 was able to calm herself down and get over the shock, she then realised the current was to strong so maintained her position in the water. both 'Captains' should have been charged for neglect! especially the previous one. no immediate action was taken for a person overboard, no one responsible for keeping an eyes on them, no life rings deployed! the first Lady needed that! no calls for help let alone notifying other boaters that they had a person in the water. then another point of neglect! radio antenna's laying down! reduces range of radio even more so if using 1 watt power. but i suppose it looks good, that just shows total disregard for the lives of the people they have on board. before you think yet another arm chair 'Captain!' i served 25 years rescuing people just like that! my crew and I in that time came to the aid of over 4,000 people and they along with me managed to save 50 persons lives.

The people who fell on this video aren't wearing lifejacket. Maybe the people who fell on the water are as irresponsible as the people who are on the boat. Either way, moral values matters in family, friendship and work place.

It is so essential that everyone knows how to float. You can last quite a while in the water if you roll over and float. This practice saved my life.

i love the ironic sinking of the 'Vanquish' LOL

It happens so fast. Like 20 years ago at Lake Nascimento here in CA. We were in the narrows partying,tied up with a huge group.Then the guy next to us just starts yelling to many people!!!!I cut the ropes instantly because his jet boat was sinking and going to take us down. Shit sunk to the bottom in Lee's than a minute.

I've been boarded for a random CG inspection. I have no problem with that. These boats (smaller ones) are so overloaded with people, I guarantee there isn't enough life jackets for everyone! There's no urgency to the people who went overboard? WTH??? The CG and Marine Police should board more boats and teach these people safety procedures! What caused the Vanquish to sink?

The correct procedure is to throw the required "throwable" floatation device to her, make the radio call on 16 for Man Overboard and approach from downwind. If you approach from upwind you will be blown right over the survivor in the water. That orange boat about 200 yards aft of their stern would've been to that location in about 30 seconds!!!

@robinj1052

"If you approach from upwind you will be blown right over the survivor in the water." That is only a serious risk when the wind is strong. With gentle winds, that is no risk. Apart from that, if yu have a high freeboard, most of the time the only place where you can lift the person in the water out of the water, is at the stern. Where the propellors are, which you need to keep turning when you approach from downwind. Increasing the risk therefore. What the correct procedure is, after throwing a floatation device, make a MOB call, whilst maintaining an eye on the victim, depends very much on the situation, including windspeed, manouvring space, water depth, etc.

This reinforces my opinion that most of these skippers and crew should not be allowed anything bigger than a paddle board!!!!!

Thank you very much for sharing this video. If I need a good example for a first-world-problem, I don't have to search any longer.

Just in case someone reading this is ever in a situstion where your boats taking on water. Considering it’s not too late, get the boat up on plane where it’s going fast enough to outrun the water that’s rushing in, most likely a plug or a seal onnthf rear of thf vessel is the culprit gravity does it’s job very well. I had a 32 foot cuddy cabin like the second one that was sinking. My rear gimbal seal around my out drive failed abd the bilge wouldn’t keep up. I got thf boat on plane sbd saved the vessel.

Cannot understand that. What is with people today? They will film someone drown but not make an attempt to help.

This doesn't surprise me. There's just to many un experienced boaters these days & its scary. Such little experience they don't understand what a strong current looks like so they jump in. Out of sight out of mind so they climb all around a spinning blade that could slice a body part off. Bumping into other boats because they don't know what their doing. SCARY!!

Well with that much boat traffic I believe most people do pretty good without incident, also its obvious how many people actually never been on a boat especially on saltwater, I wonder if the captain gives everyone the do’s and don’ts when they board their vessel, have a good time but don’t hang off the side etc, and if anyone goes overboard here’s the life ring to throw to them, thanks that was excellent video

These videos remind me why I stay on the Gulf side. Best thing about Miami is it is close to America.

amazing the cavaliere attitude of the drinking smoking party people onboard when some one falls in the water and is struggling.

Great vid! New sub. 4k resolution, no goofy VO or music. Love this. Sad to see so many people in danger and their buddies just ignore them. Life in the river I guess

Keep holding those drinks and don’t worry about someone drowning. It’s amazing how many people just look and keep on going.

The Vanquish vanished! What happened in such a calm area for it to sink? Did it hit something we don’t see on camera? It was one of the most gorgeous boats I’ve ever seen, what a shame.

That boat that sank. I had the same problem. There is a little Cork bung thing at the back you use to drain the water when it's on its trailer, you have to remember to put it in. My boat is made by Sears, but I bet it's the same deal.

It appears that in congested (with stupid boat operators) waters, many boats need to be constructed of rubber, propellers as well. Thank you for saving this delicate audience (myself) from the view of serious mayhem associated with the potential of swimmers in the water near boats underway. Compared to your main body of work here at 'Boat Zone', this video qualifies as a suspense/drama/slow-motion disaster flick.

Surprised at the “men” on some of these boats, won’t jump in to save a crew member or even throw out a life preserver?

The 38 Meridian that was taking on water, the operator should have immediately been notified and ordered everyone to put on a PFD. Congrats to the other boat on rigging a pump.

Just because you have money and a boat,does not make you a boater.....You cant fix stupid with money , but you can provide the entertainment to the rest of us!!!!!!!!

Unfortunately, way too many idiots on the water. Then throw alcohol in the mix..tradegedies. I have been boating my entire life and can't figure out how so many people fall off these boats. This particular area you need to know how to boat with waves, wakes and currents. At 19.50..the guy in the blue boat doesn't even put a few fenders out as he kissed the dock, you can see the damage as he pulls away. Thanks Boat Zoan..love all the videos, but I'll stick to GOM and bayous. ;)

I don't know if this is true or not but I just read that the Vanquish boat that sank in the beginning was due to somebody on board having the squirts and needed to use the toilet really badly, but the onboard head/toilet hadn't been made ready for use and had been tagged as such, but the guy really had to go so he used it and when he tried to flush it opened up a valve and let water start to siphon into the boat....it sounds sort of like fake news, but nevertheless it made me chuckle.

0:45 The boat couldnt handle the strain.😂😂😂

14:20 Papa will be very upset. 😂😂😂

I'm amazed at how many smaller boats are way overloaded with passengers. The cops and USCG could be at it all day doing boat inspections for PFD's and overloaded boats. Oh and the cops need lanyards on their handguns.

At least she had the sense to float. That other girl before her was a much worse swimmer.

The toxic silt at the bottom of that river is legendary. In the 80’s the Coast Guard unloaded bales of pot and coke right there on those docks. Now the local cops dredge up sunken boats and floating bodies.

I thought the first boat was going to capsize. Lazy kids won't jump in the water or throw a 🛟 to someone potentially drowning. That's our youth today.

I was on a large lake with my kayak and the step son on it with me, my 17 year old daughter with my step daughter on her kayak and my other teen daughter on her own kayak and we were paddling one mile back to the launch. I heard a boat coming up behind us I figured the lake is about two miles wide at that point...Yeah no the guy drives his pontoon boat between me and my daughters kayak and we were about ten yards apart. I look at him, no reason to yell because this type of a person won't care that you are yelling and he throws up a friendly wave because he didn't get it.
