Young and awkward, The Coast-Guard's ensign Thomas Garland suffers from the comparison with his late father, a war hero. Which does not prevent him from falling for pretty Kate Fairchild, a young woman who runs a sailing school. Of course the way he expresses his deep sympathy for the lady leaves to be desired. And the situation does not improve when a trio of bumbling jewel thieves interferes.

Reviews

nballos A great movie that I watched when I was 8 yrs old. A classic comedy with very funny dialogues and a great script and actors , a comedy that all parents should watch with their kids

Seth Nelson Disney's 1970 film "The Boatniks" may not be the best of the grand old Disney films, but it's still a funny one!!!!!I've seen this film on an old VHS way back in 1996. All I remember is that this film was kind of like some sort of "McHale's Navy" type stuff. I'm just saying that because of the submarine: now that's funny! The scene where the man put what at first looked like a chicken sub into the torpedo tube, it was really a salami!!!!! LOLOLOLNot everyone may like this movie, but it's watchable. For other good movies not from Disney but are a lot like this, watch "Down Periscope;" that is good also!"The Boatniks" - set sail for fun!!!!!10 stars.

Dagwood Whoever wrote this was in San Diego Harbor obviously didn't watch the movie or has never been to San Diego. It is in Balboa Bay. You see the car ferry crossing the bay and almost being smashed, and San Diego doesn't now or ever had a car ferry in their bay. Also, they talk about Balboa in several places. I saw this in the movies in 1970 and have had it on VHS for years. Great summer movie. It's lots of fun, don't expect too much, like the Ugly Dachshund, the Love Bug movies just enjoy! It is fun to see these classic actors doing a fun goofy movie. Wally Cox and Joe E Ross are hilarious. I am sure Rodney Dangerfield did his crazy boat driving in Caddyshack after seeing Joe E Ross as the crazy boater in this movie. Just the best!

coullj I woke up one morning to this on the TV and i carried on watching it, not because it was good, but because it was so bad! the acting is terrible, and its not actually funny! its awful! Stefanie Powers who plays Kate is the best bit because she is sexy! there is no other real reason to watch the film, unless you are suicidal! There are many flaws in the film, and its just rubbish! Its about an accident prone coastguard creates havoc at a boating marina but is thought of as a hero after catching the three dimwitted Jewel thieves, when its actually his girlfriend who catches them, not really that hard to do so!
