Boating

This group of friends was out doing some whale watching when noticed the orcas they were filming were in the middle of a hunt. The whales were surrounding seals in the harbor to hunt them down for food when one desperate, and rather smart, seal decided to make a break for a boat. The engines...

Check out the mother of all at home garage builds. This incredible amphibious car boat was built mostly from a donor Chevy truck. The running components are Chevy CK 1500 4×4 parts. While the majority of it is aluminium at the moment, there are plans in place to swap out major areas and parts with...

A group of three well known shipwreck explorers named Jim Kennard, Roger Pawlowski, and Roland Stevens just recently made a huge discovery in our very own great lakes. It’s an 18th century Sloop that sank more than 200 years ago! The came back to the site of their discovery to film it with a submersible....

A Belgian whale watching boat was pulling back into the dock when everyone realized something was wrong just a little too late. The captain of the Hornblower here is trying to signal to people to evacuate the dock but they don’t quite get the message until the ship is upon them. From there they all...

Over in Hawaii, this boat had caught fire and drifted its flames into a very dangerous position. It was brushing up against land in an area where tree cover made it difficult for the fire department to put out the blaze and the force of their hoses was pushing the boat back out away from...

A tiny pleasure boat stalled out and dropped anchor, but they had no idea they had ended up in the middle of a shipping lane until it was already too late. A massive oil tanker grows closer and closer when a slightly larger pleasure boat attempts to intercede. Using their on-board PA system, the second...

Adrenaline junkies will do just about anything if there’s a promise of serious fun along with some good old-fashioned danger. This wild wakeboarder wasn’t content to have a day on the lake without carving a few waves, so he locked the throttle on his boat and hopped on his board while the boat ghost-rode itself....

The Marinette Marine Corporation ran into a bit of trouble during what seemed to be a routine ship launch. It appears as though the ship might not be hitting the water at a safe angle but we can’t quit tell since a massive amount of water and debris explode outward and take out the cameraman!

If you want to take a master class in learning how not to crash a boat then simply watch this. The guy driving either doesn’t know at all what he’s doing or he simply bit off much more than he could chew. Either way, the woman in the yellow bathing suit seems to be the...

These guys were outside of Charleston, SC on a 27 foot Sea Pro when disaster struck. Somehow their boat was damaged, you can see the condition of the hull as they’re floating on what remains. They know they’re in shark infested waters when they wait for the coast guard to arrive. Check out the entire...

Glaciers are incredibly, almost inconceivably, enormous mountains of ice floating near Earth’s poles. These guys were scoping out one such glacier that the noticed was slowly falling into the sea when their boat stalls. They get the motor up and running again just in time to avoid a building sized chunk falls nearly right on...

Check out the GoBoat. It’s made to fit anywhere in your truck, car or RV and can be easily deployed at a moment’s notice. It’s 56 inches wide and works with pretty much all trolling motors. Here’s the kicker – it’s only $200! It’s only in kick starter at the moment but you can see...

The Southern Ocean surrounds Antarctica and it’s one dangerous body of water! Just check out this footage of the open ocean and a massive ship dealing with some rough waters. If this doesn’t give you a sense of how scary the massive oceans of the world can be then nothing will.

You can’t do this kinda of maneuvering in a regular boat. These special “jet boats” use a custom V8 engine which feeds out to a jet pump, similar to a jet ski. Because of this, they’re able to seal the bottom of the hull completely and shoot right over rocky surfaces which would tear up...

Well, this is one way to get up a creek. These two friends had a choice, to stay stranded or improvise and make it back to shore. The two began jumping up and down moving the canoe closer and closer to shore. It’s still a mystery on the location of their paddles.

While boating around on Napa Valley’s Lake Berryessa some people captured this amazing footage. It’s the beginning of a huge tornado touching down in the middle of the lake causing a massive water spout to form.

Hard Drive Marine has brought us this amazing boat that’s capable of something no other boat has ever been able to do. Not only can it self-dock on its own but watch as it’s capable of extending an appendage that allows it to walk on land!

We need one of these NOW! Atlantic Extreme Watersports has come out with the Aquanami Jet Powered Kayak and it’s awesome! It’s got a 9.5 horsepower electric starting engine that you drive with joystick controls and a throttle to reach your fishing spot without wearing your arms out before hand by paddling. It’s even got...

This Kayak can fold up like a sheet of paper. They use concepts of origami. It can fit in a suitcase and it can be unfolded its full size in only about five minutes. It’s called the Oru Kayak and it’s pretty dang cool.

We’ve all seen some incredible speed boats but have you ever seen the launch of a legit drag boat? These monsters claim to pack a whopping 8,000 horse power each and while that seemed like a pretty tall tale at first, once we saw them in action we started to come around. Crank up the...

Catch a ride with Eli Kemnitz. By day he works in a garage servicing and building jet skis. When he’s not busy there he’s out crushing freestyle competitions. He won the IJSBA 2014 Freestyle Championship so he knows a thing or two when it comes to jet skis. Take some notes from his style so...
