How Do I Stay Safe on a 14ft Offshore Skiff?

Running a 14-foot skiff comes with real limitations, and safety is something I think about constantly every time I leave the dock. This episode isn’t about pushing boundaries or proving anything — it’s about the steps I personally take to stack the odds in my favor when operating a small boat. I walk through the safety considerations, mindset, and precautions I use when running this skiff, while also being very clear about one thing: checking safety boxes does not eliminate risk. Conditions change, things go wrong, and the responsibility always falls on the captain. This isn’t advice, instruction, or a recommendation to attempt what I do. It’s simply a look at how I approach safety on my boat, what I think through before heading out, and why knowing your limits matters just as much as the gear you carry. If anything in this episode helps you think differently about safety, preparation, or decision-making on the water, then it’s done its job.

Offshore conditions change fast, small boats have limits, and what works for me may not be safe or appropriate for others. I’ve spent years learning, testing, and building redundancy into this setup, and I never go offshore without carefully checking weather, sea state, and safety gear. If you choose to attempt anything similar, do your own research, follow local laws, respect your vessel’s limits, and put safety first — always. Bottom line: Don’t push your comfort zone or your boat just because you saw it on the internet.
