Barstool Sports Founder Dave Portnoy Rescued at Sea After Boat Issues
Dave Portnoy found himself stranded without a paddle—literally.
The Barstool Sports founder shared that he was recently lost at sea off the coast of Massachusetts after his new boat lost power.
“Your boys almost lost Captain Dave today,” Dave said in a video posted to X, formerly Twitter, July 15, adding that he “almost was lost to the ocean, mother ocean.”
As the 47-year-old explained, he was planning on showing the new boat to his mother, but had unhooked it from the buoys “before he turned the boat on to make sure the boat wasn’t dead.”
“No power, no radio, no anchor—no nothing. Heavy, heavy winds,” he continued. “Next thing you know, Captain Dave is lost to the sea.”
Dave shared that he didn’t know what to do and was mostly trying not to crash. He attempted to set off a distress flare, but unfortunately that signal went unanswered. But luckily for him, someone finally appeared who could lend him a helping hand.
