RICH IDIOT SINKS HIS 1.45 MILLION YACHT | HAULOVER INLET BOATS | BOAT ZONE

Who do you think is at fault for the sinking? Owner, captain or the tow company?

I spent years as an underwater welder and salvor and can say this salvage crew did a great job of showing the internet exactly what not to do.

An impressive level of incompetency from all those involved.

I have a Master V in commercial fishing in Australia. I remember when I started my studies asking a lecturer, "so what qualifications and training do you need to drive something like that big motor yacht out there (our school was on a dock). He replied "nothing you just need the money to buy it"..... and that's how stuff like this happens.

This must be among the most horrifically incompetent salvage operations I’ve ever seen. What were they thinking!!!

Unbelievable. The salvage crew appears to have been more incompetent than the fools who caused the accident.

There are only two main rules when messing about in boats. All the other rules revolve around these two rules. Rule #1 is “keep the boat in the water.” Rule #2 is “keep the water out of the boat.” The owner broke the first rule and the salvage company broke the second.

Did I understand correctly that the rescue team received half a million dollars for sinking a 1.5 millionth yacht while trying to refloat it? If so, then this is the best business in the world.

LOL, a 1.45 million boat, and they're drinking Yellowtail.....🤣🤣🤣

This almost makes me speechless. The salvage company is just as incompetent and should now be on the financial hook to clean up the bay. This is disgusting

Magnificent level of incompetence shown by the salvage team !

Needed: A:1 Very Large Turbo Bilge Pump B: 2 - 5 gallon pails "Marine Tex" to patch holes C: 1 medium sized Brain to plan Saving that Yacht was as simple as A B C.....but somebody skipped Kindergarten.... obviously.

The salvage company was an equal partner in causing this disaster. Trying to turn the yacht while stuck on the rocks was going to destroy the fragile hull even more. An inspection would have been warranted both before and after being freed.

I can't believe they actually pulled it off the rocks without doing any damage repair or using big pumps to avoid it sinking....

That’s incredible that those people call themselves a salvage team, all they did was hook a line on to her and sink a fixable 1.45 million dollar yacht

1.5 million for their boat and they drink Yellow Tail????

awsome use of low tide to drag it sideways over the rocks. Good t see Hi Flow Sub Pumps onboard and temporty floats on the side of the boat to keep the waterline low.

The most incompetent salvage crew ever! There should have been floating devices all around the wreck, that kept it floating even if the entire bottom was gone.

Well it's good to see experts were involved right from the start and remained in charge right through to it's sinking, well done everyone.

I worked for a tow/salvage company once. The moment you are hooked up, you're responsible for any damage from that point forward, unless it's already clearly a total and completely loss - which it most definitely was not at that point. This video footage is gonna be damning evidence against the salvage company for complete and total incompetence. That doesn't get the capt and owners off the hook for their stupidity. However, their stupidity did not DIRECTLY cause the total loss of the vessel. Just the environmental damages, and fines for the illegal stuff.
