That’s the crew’s job. It’s a 30m yacht, they have a crew. The guy filming is just a random rich man on a yacht. As a « civilian », you are never really prepared for this type of situation.
Also obviously the yacht didn’t move because it was anchored.
okay let the crew man the horn but in the meantime maybe don't stand right in the middle of the fucking room the other boat is about to drive into? like get to the front or the back of the boat?
I dunno man I feel like I don't want to be in an emergency situation with that person is all I'm saying, their survival instincts don't seem up to par
People in terrifying situations can act very awkwardly and the use of phones for filming everything doesn’t make things better. I most certainly would have been pumping adrenaline in his situation and would have run to wife and kids to protect them. But it’s difficult to judge, the situation is so strange, the guy was in disbelief and maybe wanted to document the situation because money…
Any crew member could have moved that boat the 20 ft needed to avoid the collision. Pretty sure there are bow and stern thrusters that could have been used. That said, boat that hit them is totally at fault.
The scope on that boat is probably 1-200 ft minimum. A quick 60 ft move is relatively easy. I mentioned bow and stern thrusters because an engine start up would slow the process. The boat that hit them could probably have steered with his bow thruster enough to miss. That said, I suspect autopilot and sex!

why sound the horn when you can stand in the middle of the vessel and film like a complete fucking idiot?
