Joe Jonas recalls falling between two boats during a terrifying yacht accident in Italy
Joe Jonas recently appeared on Morgan Stewart‘s “The Morgan Show,” where he discussed a terrifying accident in Italy. Joe explained that he was attempting to board a smaller boat from a yacht when the accident happened during a Jonas Brothers trip to Italy with friends.
According to OK! Magazine, he said, “The first mate is helping me onto the tender, and the guy is saying, ‘Alright, you’re good. You’re good. Wait, wait, wait, wait — hold off. Hold up. You’re good. You’re good.’”
Jonas explained that as he attempted to board the boat, a wave created distance between the boat and the yacht. He said, “The boat is getting pretty close to the yacht, but as I take a step, I think a wave came in and pushed the boat far out from the yacht. It sounds like the bougiest problem, but it was terrifying because I slipped, and I fell between the two boats, and the first mate tried to grab me, but he ended up falling in after me.”
Jonas recalled that he and the crew member were shaken up. However, the crew still checked on him.
The Disney Channel alum recalled, “So I’m just between these two boats, and I come back up, and I’m just like…what just happened? He’s like, ‘Are you okay?’ And I’m like, ‘Yeah, I’m fine.’”
He shared that his first instinct in that moment was to get away from the boats. However, “They (crew) were like, ‘Just swim to the ladder,’ and I’m like, ‘No, that’s where the engines are.’ I’m just thinking, ‘I’m going to climb up onto the tender.’”
The incident “spooked” him for some time and was “really intense.” Joe Jonas added that the experience taught him to slow down because “life moves fast.”
