Some people navigate calm waters. Captain Luke Bonner navigates chaos — and somehow lives to laugh about it. From getting shot at to surviving a shipwreck, Luke’s got more stories than a salty old bar in Key West.

In this episode, we dive into his wildest moments on the water, the unglamorous truth about life as a captain, and why your best stories rarely start with “everything went according to plan.” It’s raw, ridiculous, and the kind of conversation you can’t fake.

Whether you’re a weekend boater, an adrenaline junkie, or just here for the WTF factor, this one’s worth the listen.
