Shocking Incident at the Beach River :Capsized Boat and 100 OBX, Outer Bank NC lost their lives including the…see more
While there have been several boating incidents in the Outer Banks of North Carolina, including capsized boats and fatalities, there is no credible report of a recent incident where 100 people lost their lives in the Outer Banks, NC due to a capsized boat.
Recent news regarding boating accidents in the Outer Banks and North Carolina indicate:
* July 2023: The Coast Guard rescued 11 people after an airboat capsized near Oregon Inlet. Some injuries were reported, but no fatalities.
* March 2024: “Wicked Tuna” Captain Charlie Griffin and his dog died in a boating accident off Oregon Inlet, with a second boater missing. This was a significant and tragic event, but not on the scale of 100 fatalities.
* June 2025 (current month): Reports from the National Safe Boating Council and other news sources list various boating incidents across the US, including some in North Carolina, with a few fatalities. However, none of these mention an incident with 100 lives lost in the Outer Banks.
It’s possible the information you have is either a misunderstanding, a rumor, or relates to a different event not in the Outer Banks, NC, or an incident that is significantly exaggerated. Large-scale maritime disasters with such a high number of fatalities are rare in that area and would be widely reported by major news outlets.
