I'm pretty sure every one of us is guilty of being that guy at some point in our boating careers, Whether it was just being young and ignorant, or a "oops", didn't realize you were there or totally missed that Marker, etc.. so i think a few educational talks here and there are warranted. It's all how it is approached.

Holy crap. Not his fault. The white sign with orange circle said idle speed only. That was idle speed, idle for cruise ship.

That's kind of sad to watch. You'd think they would be aware of the damage they could do and would proceed very slowly.

Using jet thrusters like that for steering close to shore is the sign of an inexperienced ship captain or crew. That's nuts to put that kind of power into jet thrusters at port. Maybe the infamous Italian Ship Captain got re-hired?
