Nautical Fails That Prove Not Everyone Should Operate A Boat

When it comes to operating a boat, it is not the same thing as driving a car. The water alone can cause mishaps if you don't know how to navigate the current correctly. Some of these people couldn't even get to the water because their boat toppled off the trailer while they were still on the road! From sunken boats to yacht fires and collisions, these fails go to show that driving a boat isn't all sunshine and mist rainbows.

Buried In The Sand

Remember as a kid when you would lose something to the sea and hope it'd wash back up on the shore? This is like that, only the thing lost isn't a toy or a boogie-board, it's a boat.

We can just imagine the owner of this boat being out on the sea and suddenly having to evacuate. Perhaps it toppled over, leaving the riders in life-jackets out in the water as they watched the current yank their boat back to shore.

We're no boating experts, but this certainly isn't the way you park at the marina. Perhaps they hit something that caused a leak, resulting in the boat tipping to its side. For all we know, the photo could have been taken as the boat was sinking.

You've got to love the guy in the background just standing there and watching. At some point, you've got to accept that there's nothing to be done until help arrives.

There's nothing like gliding along the smooth water, and then suddenly coming to an abrupt stop because you're in the middle of a mud mound. Talk about destroying a lovely ride.

The best part is how this man is holding up a fishing pole. We're pretty sure you won't find fish swimming around in that thick mud. If you thought getting a car out of the mud was a challenge, just imagine trying to do so with a boat!

We can't imagine how someone could have driven their boat directly into another yacht. The crash was so perfect that both boats are perpendicular to one another! It's as though the collision was planned.

ADVERTISEMENT

It is overtly clear which boat was responsible since the blue yacht to the right is tied to a dock. That means the driver had to head straight toward the stationary boat and continue full speed ahead without a trace of caution.

Straight Into The Building

This boat was going so fast that it managed to skid across the sand and straight into a building! It reminds us of a car that was in drive instead of reverse, flying forward and into the wall it was parked in front of.

The most comical part is how unsure all of the men look. You have one guy scratching his head, three men standing around talking, and one guy standing in the boat with his hands in his pockets.

This boat nearly made it out of the water and up onto a highway! It's amazing that its nose didn't crash into the rocks. Instead, the entire craft skidded up and onto the rocky slope so that the nose is pressed against the highway guard rail.

ADVERTISEMENT

With a boat going that fast, we have to wonder how far it would have made it if there was no guard rail. We typically think of those rails as protecting cars from going into the water, but in this case, it was a boat protected from the street.

This guy was trying to bring his boat out of the water with a trailer. Though he was at first successful, the boat's weight ultimately dominated and it slid right off its carrier.

We love how the guy is sitting there puzzled, just trying to figure out how in the world this happened. It's clear that he isn't the most experienced when it comes to hooking up a boat to its trailer. That or the equipment had a serious malfunction.

If you've ever had a current pull you toward the rocks while swimming, you know it's not a fun place to be in. That's why people who are piloting yachts should be particularly careful when it comes to rocky areas.

Still, they have a motor engine to help steer clear of dangerous areas. That's why this image makes absolutely no sense. What did they do, let the boat steer itself for hours while the passengers blindfolded themselves?

This little boat clearly wasn't docked right, because it ended up getting turned upside-down. Hopefully, the owners didn't have anything of importance that they left in the boat, because if so it's definitely been taken by the current.

This boat is so tiny that the surrounding sand is already starting to bury it. We'd imagine that if the owner left it like this long enough, the boat could become completely buried. It'd be rather comical to see a family digging in the sand for their boat!

We're not entirely sure, but that can't be good for the hull. It's probably scratched all over. If they're lucky, the rock didn't puncture through. But we watched Titanic. If an iceberg can breakthrough a ship's outer layer, so can a rock.

While all of the other suckers are fishing off bridges, these guys are taking advantage of their company's construction equipment. Now, they don’t have to worry about wading in the water because they can use their crane to get out as far as possible to catch the most fish possible.
