But it wasn’t dodgy mechanics – just Mother Nature in a bad mood.
Waves were reaching between 8 and 10 feet at the time, with a fierce south swell building into 12-foot breakers pounding the shore.
The drama unfolded about 60 feet from Kewalo Basin harbour in Honolulu, Hawaii.
The US Coast Guard got the distress call at 8:25 am local time and raced to the scene.
On board were just the skipper and one crew member – both shaken but miraculously unhurt.
Honolulu Ocean Safety lifeguards zipped in on jet skis to make sure they were safe.
The battered boat is now sitting high and dry, awaiting rescue from the pounding Pacific.
