“Your boys almost lost Captain Dave today. Captain Dave almost was lost to the ocean, mother ocean,” revealed the 47-year-old Barstool Sports founder in a video shared via X.

Portnoy made it clear that the situation was a result of his own actions, and he had his mother with him when the incident occurred. She was visiting him in Massachusetts, and they were planning to go out on a boat off Nantucket.

Portnoy’s Vessel Mishap

However, as Portnoy detached the 28-foot boat from the dock and buoys, he realized he had made a “critical mistake” – the boat was without power, a radio, an anchor, or any essential equipment in the face of strong winds.

“Next thing you know, Captain Dave is lost at sea,” he recounted. “[The boat’s] just blowing, [I’m] trying not to crash into ships in the harbor.”

Portnoy resorted to shouting for help and even resorted to using a flare gun to signal distress. Fortunately, a woman in a “rowboat” spotted him and turned out to be their rescuer.

“She boards Captain Dave’s vessel, says, ‘Can I make a TikTok of you, Captain Dave?’ I said, ‘No time for TikToks.’ She goes, ‘Well, I don’t have my phone on me anyways,'” he recalled. “[But] her radio works [and she] calls in the Coast Guard.

“Captain Dave is out at sea going back and forth, rocking, thinks my life is over. Captain Dave had to be halfway to f-king the Caribbean just rocking, no power, no boat,” he shared.

“Thankfully, Coast Guard, God bless her soul, tied me up, brings me back to my [dock]. Dave lives to tell another tale.”
