First of all WHAT license are you referring to? Licensed Captains (such as myself) do understand and obey the rules and regs. Those are pleasure boats and as such no license is required, or even customary.
Secondly. There is no written rule that says the larger boat has right of way. There is an unwritten MASS TONNAGE rule and common sense should always apply. The first section of the COLREGS describe right of way and RULE #1 is that all vessels at ALL TIMES must avoid collision. BOTH of those boats held course and BOTH are at fault. PERIOD.
I watched it over and over and if anything the larger boat, the one with the camera rolling was at fault. He clearly hit the other vessel.
I still cant believe no shots were fired!

Ahh yes you are correct technically,depends on how it is looked at. I was talking about a general boating L. in which case anybody born after I believe april 81 or 83 need a boating saftey card in the US, maybe not where they are from.. Yes the capt or pilot of each boat are surley responsible to what happened, because either one of could have avoided the accident. Rule of thumb I have always went by, have read over over again is that the larger vessel has the right of way, or a boat under sail... Some go by the boat that is off to the starboard front side. What is lacked is common sense//\\..

So new to me...any one born after 1981/3 needs to have a (federal or state?) boating saftey card? Wow....how can they take another $10 from ya! lmfao.
There are 5 types of vessels (right of way priority) let me think hard to see if I can remember ...naw never mind, it was easier to look up, I love google!

the order of rights is as follows..

Vessel Types
�� Power Driven Vessel - Any vessel propelled by machinery. This includes any boat that
has an engine. Sailboats are considered powerboats when they have the engines on--
even if the sails are up.
�� Sailing Vessel - Any vessel under sail alone. Remember, the engine only has to be on for
a sailboat to be considered a powerboat.
�� Vessels engaged in fishing - Means any vessel fishing with nets, lines, trawls or other
fishing apparatus which restrict maneuverability, but does not include a vessel fishing with
trolling lines or other fishing gear which doesn't restrict maneuverability. This means a
shrimper out of Galveston is "engaged in fishing". Someone out trolling for stripers in their
Grady-White is NOT considered to be engaged in fishing under the Rules....
�� Seaplanes - Are any aircraft designed to operate from the water.
�� Vessels not under Command - Any vessel that for some exceptional circumstance is
unable to steer as required by the Rules, and is therefore unable to keep out of the way of
another vessel. If Joe boater slips and knocks himself out, and can no longer steer--that's
a vessel not under command. If the steering cable goes out, and you can't turn the boat,
that's a vessel not under command. If the captain is not paying attention and hits another
boat, that's negligence.
�� Vessels restricted in their ability to maneuver - Means a vessel that can't maneuver as
required by the rules because of the size or operation of the vessel. , a fishing vessel
pulling in nets, and a buoy tender placing a buoy are all examples of a vessel restricted in
their ability to maneuver.
�� Vessels constrained by draft - Means that a vessel can't deviate from a course/channel
because they might run aground. A freighter in a narrow channel is an example of this.
NOTE--This is for International waters only, not Inland.
�� Underway - Means that you are not anchored, moored, at the dock, or aground. If you are
even drifting along, you are underway.
�� Restricted visibility - Means any condition such as fog, mist, falling snow, rain, or other
similar causes that make it difficult to see other vessels. Losing your glasses is NOT
restricted visibility.
�� Power Driven Vessel - Any vessel propelled by machinery. This includes any boat that
has an engine. Sailboats are considered powerboats when they have the engines on--
even if the sails are up.
