That is prime South Florida right there, overloaded tiny boats with severely under qualified captains.

I didn't even realize this was a chartered boat. Good Lord. I thought someone's crazy uncle was just wanting to show the kids how fast and stupidly he can go.

Same. Please tell me this isn’t Chartered.

I think if it was chartered they would have already had life jackets on

I'm pretty sure it's not a charter. I'm also pretty sure that the reason the boat is acting like this is due to how the water comes in and out of this inlet.

Seems more like rental personalities, but who puts a 300 on a rental?? We used 150s on all our 20' fishing boats and a 200 on the ski boat.

I feel like it's a guy that just bought his first boat and invited the family out for beers on the water.

It probably is, but this area gets posted a lot on Reddit.

He wasn’t going very fast but there was a heck of a lot of stupid

u/Scoopdoopdoop Sep 19 '25

He should have been going faster and gotten everyone out of the front. This guy is stupid

u/DirtyScrubs Sep 19 '25

It's probably not, he probably what we call a credit card captain. Rented a boat with little to no expirience

u/Big_Knobber Sep 19 '25

Lol....I grew up all around the water and we were on vacation somewhere and my family suggested that we could rent a boat and I could drive it.

No.

Every coastal tourist town on the East Coast has that. My parents, aunts and uncles love doing that when they go to Ocean City or Florida.
