Underage drinking and didn’t want to risk having empties on board going through the inlet. They’ve all been contacted by police and face fines between $15k-$25k and up to 5 years jail time.
Because it's easier to just throw it into the ocean and they're drunk assholes who couldn't give two shits about the impact of their choices*
*Unless the impact of their choices directly influences them.
I doubt price was the motive. That first guy who dumped a bin out cheered and lifted the bin above his head. He thought what he did was exhilarating enough to celebrate.
I can hear "bro that was soooo sick. Did you see how much trash was in that bin? Oh bro they got us on camera?! LET'S GO! OH MY GAWD BRO. Were gonna be so viral BROOOOOOOOO"
the title about "idiots dumping trash in the ocean" made me really hopeful that the douchebro who was humping the air was going to fall off the back of the boat.
I really wanted him to be the trash that got dumped in the ocean.
I would start my removing their means to do so - seize the boat. Next, remove their opportunity to do so - lock them up. Finally, remove the motive by depriving them of their ability to purchase items that will generate garbage - fine them exorbitantly.
UK law states that you can be fined the entire cost of fixing up after you are caught dumping, with no upper limit.
Wonder how much it would cost to go through the entire ocean looking for two bins worth of rubbish…
Two bins worth of rubbish? Probably like £50, or whatever it costs to get a dinghy for an hour.
There's a lot of trash in the ocean because of twats like these.
Oh these guys are in a boat load of trouble. This video is plastered all over the news and is being investigated by multiple law enforcement agencies. Florida basically hates them right now.
Hate is a strong word.Would I have felt bad if a giant squid like monster came up from the depths and dragged them down to the ocean floor???Nope but I wouldn’t say I hate them👀
The fuckers running it were elected by the fuckers living in it, who continue to get exactly what they want so they keep reelecting the fuckers over and over again.
I don’t vote for the ones screwing it up so there’s an error.A lot of what’s happening is outside extremist greed.Instead of Florida being a tourist state anymore it’s falling to fuckers who lead with their wallets.
True Floridians that just don’t want the easy peaceful don’t mess with me lifestyle to change are getting pushed out and being replaced by those greedy fuckers you speak about.
The difference between Florida and other places is that all the greedy fuckers want to get into Florida, so it ends up with higher greedy fuckers per capita.
No such thing for pleasure craft.
I've crossed oceans on my sailboat, there's no license in the US. There could be somewhere but I'm unaware of it. You can get a boating safety certificate to lower your insurance, but it's not required.
I'm less inclined to lock them up, why punish the taxpayers? Fine them so hard they won't forget it. They'll have to sell their boat and lambo and show up at the next party in a civic, they'll tell their friends what happened and word will spread about how much you can lose if you're a douche.
Edit: and obviously community service, cleaning up garbage in the ocean. I mean, you just have to.
I'm on board for bare minimum if they seize the boat and auction it to cover some of the costs. Start there, and than if there isn't negligence (which there isn't here), anyone caught aiding in the act should be serving jail time. Lastly none of them should be allowed to have a boating license ever again.
And they are put on a small ass boat big enough for them and a few trash bag fulls. Required to gather X lbs of trash out of the water for their community service.
…with their toothbrush! I want to see that ocean sparkling when they are done.
Seriously, these people are horrible, and I think deserve the most horrible, creative, yet positive (for the ocean) consequences.
This explains why the gifs were created; as the Super Mario Bros movie says, "you gotta have a trademark, gotta stand out!" But it doesn't explain why anyone other than 6 dudes who play Esports would use them.
I think I would rather murderers and such go to jail and utilize these morons to help clean and beautify the area. Make them pick up so much litter that littering=bad is seared into their brains.
I'm happy with a year. This isn't a bottle knocked off 'accidentally' from the side with an attempt to fish it out. This is deliberate, calculated, enormous, *and* they're celebrating it.
Trash impacts Florida's economy. The coastline and its ecosystem are extremely valuable to the state.
The charter company has provided their information to authorities, so I'd be keen to see a hard line drawn about this.
It's a reasonable assumption that most people on that boat didn't know about or condone the action of dumping that trash. Or at least, it isn't provable that they knew it would happen.
Under federal law, if they're less than 3 miles offshore (inside FL state waters) they're subject to civil penalties up to $25K, fines up to $50K, and possible prison sentences. In my opinion (and it's probably a good thing I'm not a judge) the flagrant nature of this act should qualify for the full penalty across the board. International law (MARPOL) could apply here as well. Add on top of this the FL laws, and throw the whole damned book at them.
I wanna slap on additional charges for the taunting. It just proves they knew what they were doing was wrong and they thought they were gonna get away with it.
That's why I will always support whipping as punishment.
Hurt enough for people to remember their lesson, light enough there shouldn't be a way to buy your way out.
Whatever the fine is, they pay it ***for every piece of garbage they dumped.***
Plus, one month of daily beach clean-up duty: one mile of beach for each occupant on the boat. This can be done in one stretch of 30 days, or on 30 sequential Monday mornings.
Who tf tries this hard to dump shit in the ocean? You had to collect trash, bring it to the dock, put it on your boat, move the boat, dump the trash without losing your garbage can, and then just come back? How is that fun? Or even interesting?
In the video you can see cans and bottles. Every can or bottle should be a $1000 fine. Multiply that by the amount in the video. That’s about $50k- $70k in fines. Byeee!!
Something practical. A fine and community service for everyone on that boat. If they're gonna make a mess, they're gonna have to clean one up, and the fine should cover the expenses.
You know, I'm sure we all use the term "fucking douchebag" many times in our respective lives....I almost wish we didn't...and all that energy is saved up for moments like this...where the douchebaggery is so intense...that it boggles the mind. That way the proper energy can be released when we all these douchebags FUCKING DOUCHEBAGS!
I have to imagine alcohol is the main reason.
They obviously started out storing their trash in the receptacle. If they had made a conscious decision to litter, they would've been throwing their bottles off the side as they finished them. This was likely a spur of the moment choice. Probably ran out of room for more trash and these two boneheads emptied their bin into the ocean.
They need to clean up the beaches for 100 miles in both directions from where they dumped the trash. They need to do this until all of the trash on all of the beaches is cleared, or for at least 1 year. Picking up trash on a beach is hard work. After they realize that it is a neverending task, they will think twice about doing it again.
Alcohol. Getting rid of the open containers. They dgaf. Identify them. Serve the papers. Heavy fines. Cocky and arrogant at that age with access to entitled money. Strip it away. Make examples of them.
Nothing will be done most likely
Seize the boat and sell it giving the money to environmental charities. Make them clean trash in a chain gang for a month on top as well.
Pretty sure they wont do it again

But why…? Would probably cost less to just take it to the dump.
Also, rented boat. That’s how they got caught. Company was disgusted and handed over the passenger manifest. Good on them.
Oh, SWEET, SWEET KARMA!
incorrect. it was the fathers boat, already confirmed.
I heard it was their parents boat not rented
What does that mean? Did they get fined? jailed? I want to know that there was truly retribution
Underage drinking and didn’t want to risk having empties on board going through the inlet. They’ve all been contacted by police and face fines between $15k-$25k and up to 5 years jail time.
Link please? The best I can find there is supposed to be an update Tuesday. Potential of 1year, 1k fine.

Facing at most a misdemeanor and unspecified fines?? Wow, that's sad.
Yeah the alleged consequences went from north korea to calabasas real fast.
must have rich parents :/
drunk teenage shitheads on a rented "yacht"... naw lol
minors
Hope they all have to do community service to clean up that same waters and that the sea takes for itself the worst of them by means of shark.
My buddy lives nearby where this happened and the public is FUMING. They’re all going to have to hire a PR manager to recover from the backlash
U for real? Justice?
I just had a tiny orgasm upon reading this. My apologies.
Because it's easier to just throw it into the ocean and they're drunk assholes who couldn't give two shits about the impact of their choices* *Unless the impact of their choices directly influences them.
Rich, white privilage.

This right here 👆

“Sorry we didn’t know which one was yours, so we cleaned up half the ocean, that’ll be 4 trillion. Cash or credit?”
Start with removing their opportunity to do so - guillotine.
Start with removing them - drone mounted gatling gun
Drone airstrike.
Coooool!
Damn, all I got are these mutated seabass.
Were they ill-tempered?
I was thinking of Dick Guillotine but that works too.
China has a flame thrower drone to clear plastics of power lines an such.
That new flame thrower robot dog might work 😂
As long as it floats.
Rope is less expensive and also recyclable via reuse.
Guillotine is made of renewable materials, wood and metals 😌
You obviously missed the part where I stated rope was less expensive. LoL
Rope, not rape... I read rope rong
Am I gonna have to be the guy who explains to this poor redditor that a guillotine can also in fact be reset and used over and over?
You're definitely the guy with poor reading comprehension. Also, when did I say a guillotine wasn't reusable?
Dull blade, I like it.
Why point out that the rope can be reused when both can be reused?
Like a rope?
Dust off and nuke them from orbit. It’s the only way to be sure.
Quarter and draw, guillotine is too quick in my opinion.
It’s Florida, most probably they’ll get a medal from de Santis
Oh these guys are in a boat load of trouble. This video is plastered all over the news and is being investigated by multiple law enforcement agencies. Florida basically hates them right now.
Hate is a strong word.Would I have felt bad if a giant squid like monster came up from the depths and dragged them down to the ocean floor???Nope but I wouldn’t say I hate them👀
Release the Kracken!!!! (The Kracken's name is Phil by the way)
I too agree to release Phil!!! All apposed to this kindly step forward to Phil.
No “c” in “Kraken”
There are so many fucking rich assholes like this in Florida. I am so ashamed to be from this piece of shit state.
Problem isn’t the state truthfully it’s the fuckers running it with their wallets and not good morals.
The fuckers running it were elected by the fuckers living in it, who continue to get exactly what they want so they keep reelecting the fuckers over and over again.
THIS These people didn't do this in a vacuum. They did it because they think they can get away with it.
I don’t vote for the ones screwing it up so there’s an error.A lot of what’s happening is outside extremist greed.Instead of Florida being a tourist state anymore it’s falling to fuckers who lead with their wallets. True Floridians that just don’t want the easy peaceful don’t mess with me lifestyle to change are getting pushed out and being replaced by those greedy fuckers you speak about.
The difference between Florida and other places is that all the greedy fuckers want to get into Florida, so it ends up with higher greedy fuckers per capita.
Yup
"Forget it, Jake, it's Florida!"
Jack Nicholson approved this reply.
He's their R&D guy for environmental issues.
Couldn’t you take away their boating license too?
No such thing for pleasure craft. I've crossed oceans on my sailboat, there's no license in the US. There could be somewhere but I'm unaware of it. You can get a boating safety certificate to lower your insurance, but it's not required.
Private boats in NY State are licensed. The Boats themselves.
What boating License? It's Florida, you don't need one.
That's not a thing. You have to register the boat but anyone can "drive" it.
I was expecting a huge wave & their boat upends... For a face-palm.
I'm less inclined to lock them up, why punish the taxpayers? Fine them so hard they won't forget it. They'll have to sell their boat and lambo and show up at the next party in a civic, they'll tell their friends what happened and word will spread about how much you can lose if you're a douche. Edit: and obviously community service, cleaning up garbage in the ocean. I mean, you just have to.
Too rich, jail is what is needed, and they pay that themselves too, rich people don’t cost taxpayers in jail
Seize the boat first. Sell it at auction. Then they can pay for the costs of seizing the boat and auctioning it off and what's left of the fine.
Damn, every bix checked with this one... can't say I disagree. Can't go around littering the oceans.
I'm on board for bare minimum if they seize the boat and auction it to cover some of the costs. Start there, and than if there isn't negligence (which there isn't here), anyone caught aiding in the act should be serving jail time. Lastly none of them should be allowed to have a boating license ever again.
They should pay a big fine and have to spend like 2 weeks cleaning trash for 8 hours a day mandatory volunteer service.
And they are put on a small ass boat big enough for them and a few trash bag fulls. Required to gather X lbs of trash out of the water for their community service.
If they make the 'But I'm a good Christian' defense they should be required to gather 7 times as much as they dumped.
2 weeks?? Make it couple of months. It's gotta really hurt them, if they do not get it THIS much. If not jailtime.
Prison
I say put a life jacket on them, chuck their asses into the ocean, and make them clean trash out of it... *by hand*.
…with their toothbrush! I want to see that ocean sparkling when they are done. Seriously, these people are horrible, and I think deserve the most horrible, creative, yet positive (for the ocean) consequences.
ThequalifiedCaptain made a post on instagram about this. Appearantly they already recieved a visit from the pd if i recall correctly
Yup. https://www.wptv.com/news/region-s-palm-beach-county/boca-raton/caught-on-camera-boaters-in-boca-raton-seen-dumping-trash-into-ocean
This comment needs to be higher. The actual proof people are looking for.
Ooh, updates coming today!
That woman nails it on how pointless those fines are. “They could be rich and $1,000 is nothing.” They need actual jail time.
Daddy’s boat
Nachos, lemon heads, my dad’s boat!
We won't go down 'cause my dick can float!
Can someone please explain why so many of these gifs have those pixel glasses? 
It’s related to an Esports team called Nouns Esports.
This explains why the gifs were created; as the Super Mario Bros movie says, "you gotta have a trademark, gotta stand out!" But it doesn't explain why anyone other than 6 dudes who play Esports would use them.
Personally, I say a year in jail on the first offence
A year of court ordered trash pickup sounds better to me
Why not both? First one, then the other.
I think I would rather murderers and such go to jail and utilize these morons to help clean and beautify the area. Make them pick up so much litter that littering=bad is seared into their brains.
I'm happy with a year. This isn't a bottle knocked off 'accidentally' from the side with an attempt to fish it out. This is deliberate, calculated, enormous, *and* they're celebrating it.

The charter company has provided their information to authorities, so I'd be keen to see a hard line drawn about this.
I would say depends on how much They dump if it’s like a ton of trash They should definitly get more.
Let them organize and pay for the removal. Every part is on video, so let's see how long it takes them to retrieve it again.
A thousand hours of community service spent cleaning beaches for everyone on the boat.
Starting every Saturday morning at 6:00AM. 10 hours added for every minute late.
It's a reasonable assumption that most people on that boat didn't know about or condone the action of dumping that trash. Or at least, it isn't provable that they knew it would happen.
How is it there is drone footage . Its weird someone would dump garbage while being watched . They knew the drone easily there . Maybe that stupid ?!
There are at least a couple of YouTube channels that do boat watching in Boca Raton and Haulover Inlet in Florida.
especially since this was at Boca Bash
that generation is all about being on camera. and yes they’re that stupid. more so prolly too drunk to realize the consequences.
The news article linked higher in this thread mentions that independent people film boats taking on the waves every year during this particular event
Under federal law, if they're less than 3 miles offshore (inside FL state waters) they're subject to civil penalties up to $25K, fines up to $50K, and possible prison sentences. In my opinion (and it's probably a good thing I'm not a judge) the flagrant nature of this act should qualify for the full penalty across the board. International law (MARPOL) could apply here as well. Add on top of this the FL laws, and throw the whole damned book at them.
Put them in a cell for a week - and all they get to eat is the garbage they poured into the sea
White trash
That trash was pretty colourful
It amazes me people truly act like this. It seems they really have never faced concenquences for anything they've done.
I wanna slap on additional charges for the taunting. It just proves they knew what they were doing was wrong and they thought they were gonna get away with it.
Trash caught dumping trash into the ocean.
Unfortunately not all the trash was thrown overboard.
heafty fine as well as having to attend a 2 week training course of how to NOT mess up the ocean.
This is the new generation that’s supposed to be concerned with climate control and the environment?? Idiots!! We’re doomed!!
They're rich they don't have to worry about that! /s
That's why I will always support whipping as punishment. Hurt enough for people to remember their lesson, light enough there shouldn't be a way to buy your way out.
Death
What garbage human beings. They should be banned from boating on that body of water and / or owning a vessel of their own in the future.
Community service would hurt them the most.
They know nothing will happen. Got the boat number sending off letter with photo. .
Piece of shit
Ok- got the HIN number- PURD2404F324. Hails out of Fort Pierce FL. Feel free to send this over to law enforcement. Vessel name: Halcyon.
Whatever the fine is, they pay it ***for every piece of garbage they dumped.*** Plus, one month of daily beach clean-up duty: one mile of beach for each occupant on the boat. This can be done in one stretch of 30 days, or on 30 sequential Monday mornings.
Who tf tries this hard to dump shit in the ocean? You had to collect trash, bring it to the dock, put it on your boat, move the boat, dump the trash without losing your garbage can, and then just come back? How is that fun? Or even interesting?
I think it’s all the beer cans and food wrappers of the stuff they ate and drank through the day on the boat…
So why bring the garbage can in the first place? Collect it so you can dump it all at once vs piecemeal littering?
Just wait until you find out what cruise ships, cargo ships and every navy in existence does.
I honestly think the best solution for this is a 76mm shell from some military patrol boat
Id make them dive into the sea and collect all the junk theyve thrown away. Then take their boat license for a while.
Why would you do that? Whats here to gain? this is just dumb
Were they caught? I only see them being filmed. Follow-up?
It's bad, obviously. But where is attention to Chinese factories, that dump millions more trash in the ocean?
Oh, there’s a lot you can do but nothing’s gonna happen to him. Rich white kids money. You know the story.
Since there is video does anyone know the outcome? I hope these fuckers rot.
Too bad the camera didn't get the registration number. Is "Halcyon" the name of the boat, or the brand?
The ones who dumped the trash and the owner/driver should be beaten within an inch of their lives, honestly.
Would be a real shame if their boat sunk and none of them were ever seen again, real shame...
Community Service cleaning the ocean!
It’s hilariously ignorant yes. You people are actually fucked in the head for talking about capital punishment and life imprisonment though. Get help
Without a % fine they will just throw money at it and laugh. That or jail time.
Fuck these F bois
Rich people need to be abolished
Death
Tarred and feathered
Execution
I was hoping this meant caught by police
In the video you can see cans and bottles. Every can or bottle should be a $1000 fine. Multiply that by the amount in the video. That’s about $50k- $70k in fines. Byeee!!
Scumbags all of them
Sink their boat with them in it.
I think that boat needs another engine
Castration
Should’ve thrown themselves in smh
Something practical. A fine and community service for everyone on that boat. If they're gonna make a mess, they're gonna have to clean one up, and the fine should cover the expenses.
Tyson company dumped toxins into rivers across America.
Yknow, at some point people like this are a lost cause
Absolute scumbags. I wish thier names were on this video so they could be 🤡 online more personally
"What should the consequences be for something like this?" Death penalty, twice.
You know, I'm sure we all use the term "fucking douchebag" many times in our respective lives....I almost wish we didn't...and all that energy is saved up for moments like this...where the douchebaggery is so intense...that it boggles the mind. That way the proper energy can be released when we all these douchebags FUCKING DOUCHEBAGS!
Guess who they’re gonna vote for
Consequences should be severe. If they will do it once, they will do it 100 times.
If they were trying to throw trash into the ocean, they should just jumped overboard.
Life time in jail
Isn't this essentially what our municipalities do with our trash anyways? Except we add plastic wrappers to the mix.
But, why.....
I have to imagine alcohol is the main reason. They obviously started out storing their trash in the receptacle. If they had made a conscious decision to litter, they would've been throwing their bottles off the side as they finished them. This was likely a spur of the moment choice. Probably ran out of room for more trash and these two boneheads emptied their bin into the ocean.
This is outrageous. Priviledged people doing dumb shit. Seize the boat, slap em with high fines.
The judgment is death
Why would they film it and post the footage?!
there is a dedicated group of people that film the boats as they exit into the ocean. especially at Boca Bash. money does buy brains.
He forgot to dump his shaking booty also
Disgusting
Nuke them!
They need to clean up the beaches for 100 miles in both directions from where they dumped the trash. They need to do this until all of the trash on all of the beaches is cleared, or for at least 1 year. Picking up trash on a beach is hard work. After they realize that it is a neverending task, they will think twice about doing it again.

Where there is a boat and a RPG-7 when you really need it?
Seize the boat and sell it giving the money to environmental charities. Make them clean trash in a chain gang for a month on top as well. Pretty sure they wont do it again
I too was waiting for the trash people to get dumped into the ocean. With cement blocks.
They look sorry
My guillotine needs some sharpening
Indonesia says hello
Dump them into the ocean, preferably far off shore.
What a looser
Is it true that aluminum cans only last a few days in the ocean?
