The Scariest Dangers at Sea (And How to Survive Them)

August 01, 2025

From lightning strikes and engine failure to fires and man overboard situations—this episode dives deep into the scariest things that can happen on a boat.


I’ve lived through a few of these, and others are every sailor’s nightmare. But fear not—this episode isn’t just about horror stories. We break down how often these emergencies happen and give real-world tips on how to prevent or survive each one.


If you’ve got a wild sea story, drop it in the comments—I might feature it in a future episode!
