Waves and speedboats are not a match made in heaven.
Preferably, a speedboat would be cruising along flat, pristine water without a bump in sight. But that’s not how the ocean works. And at one place, in particular, there are numerous sightings of boats interacting badly with oncoming waves.
Like this clip, below, featuring a speedboat going full submarine-mode after it hits a wave from behind at high speeds. Check it out.
The video comes from Haulover Inlet in Miami Beach, Florida – a notorious place for speedboat mishaps, whether exiting or entering the harbor through the surf.
In fact, there’s an entire page dedicated to such calamities. Per the Wavy Boats channel:
“I began filming Haulover Inlet by myself in 2018, captivated by the thrilling boat action and the rough waves. I began posting these videos on YouTube, and people loved the footage of boats navigating the challenging conditions.
“As the audience grew, I expanded to cover Boca Inlet, Boynton Inlet, and eventually Port Everglades, making Wavy Boats the first channel in the boat niche to feature these locations with full time coverage.”

There are numerous clips of boats being taken out by waves, carnage, and passengers being tossed around while attempting to navigate the surf. Like another one below, as a man on the bow of a boat gets flung into the air, only to come down hard.
“Spinal injury after a brutal ride at Haulover Inlet,” the caption reads. “His face says it all — he looked like he was in serious pain. Isn’t the captain responsible for protecting passengers?”
It brings to mind James Bond’s famed submarine car from 1977’s The Spy Who Loved Me. Driven by then-Bond, Roger Moore, it was a 1976 Lotus Esprit 1, modified to go from land to sea and equipped with fins, propellers, and surface-to-air missiles.
Bet some of these boaters wished they had that Bond gadget.
