Not even the kids had on life vest at first. Looks like a whole group with IQs lower than the water temperature.

"Please to tell me you have boat for to rent."

Hey! Anyone know how to turn on the bilge pump?

An open bow becomes an onboard jacuzzi! If the swells are 3X the total height of your boat, you might want to think about going bowling...
I wonder if the capacity of that boat is 12?

It's like motocross, but, you know, in a boat...

presumably that is haulover inlet in Florida. There are many videos of boats going through there.

Not much of a breakwater if the waves are like that going through. I've gone through 8 ft waves going out of the Hatteras Inlet and ridden them coming back in but that was in a head boat large enough to handle it! It's a little weird seeing those wave catch up to you looking like they're going to engulf the back of the boat.

Listen to the audio; clearly an unhappy group of passengers. The chop isn't so much issue as the jackass pilot; especially losing (or giving up) headway and coming about.
With next to zero qualifications to operating pleasure craft, compared to road vehicles; it might be awhile before these people return to the water.
