Dave Portnoy Rescued by U.S. Coast Guard After Making ‘Critical Mistake’ On Boat

“No Power, No Radio, No Anchor, No Nothin’.”

“[The boat’s] just blowing, [I’m] trying not to crash into ships in the harbor.” He said he eventually used a flare gun to send a “distress signal” but “still nothing” happened. Coast Guard officials shared in a statement to local affiliate WFXT, that they received a report that a “28-foot pleasure boat” belonging to Portnoy had broke free from its mooring buoys. Officials said that service members from U.S Coast Guard Station Brant Point, who had been conducting training exercises at the time, had “diverted” to help tow Portnoy back to the harbor.
