I'm all for kids being super independent and think we over-protect kids too much these days in general, but two teens by themselves on the ocean just sounds like a terrible idea. The open ocean can be a very dangerous place, even with a great boat and lots of equipment and tons of experience, etc.
You're completely right. I grew up in Miami, and had many friends who would take their parents boats out when they were not in town. In most cases they fucked the boats up, in few cases it all went fine, in two cases there were deaths.

I believe they went against the boundaries set by their parents. They wer told not to leave the bay, but gassed up, and headed out into open ocean.
