Dave Portnoy Rescued by the Coast Guard After He Was 'Lost at Sea': 'No Power, No Radio, No Anchor'

Barstool CEO Dave Portnoy says he was almost "lost to the ocean" and had to be rescued by the U.S. Coast Guard.

Coast Guard officials were quickly dispatched to the scene and were able to bring the "Barstool Presidente" back to safety where he thanked them for the assist and credited the "four burley dudes" from the agency for saving his life. According to a statement sent by Coast Guard representatives to NBC 10 Boston, several members of the team did in fact rescue the influential online figure after an incident involving his boat drifting out to sea. The scary experience clearly didn't impact Portnoy's sense of humor, however, as he later shared a screengrab of one article detailing the day's events, captioning the post on X, "Island life."
