A man’s ill-fated attempt to take a joy ride on a boat he didn’t own ended in a watery mess off the shores of St. Augustine, prompting a flurry of activity on social media.

According to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC), Anthony Terry found himself in hot water after allegedly stealing a woman’s $100,000 boat near Conch House Marina.

The boat, now afloat but listing heavily, became a viral sensation on Facebook, with images of its accident spreading rapidly.

Describing the scene, one eyewitness shared, “He approached my daughter and her boyfriend in his underwear with a boat bumper tied to his arm wearing an ankle monitor.”

Wildlife officers reported that on Tuesday, he stole the boat from a private dock located just south of Conch House Marina.

I was going to add bath salts to the game, but I guess he didn’t eat anybody’s face or anything. 🤷🏻‍♀️

If she bought that boat new, it probably cost more than $100,000, I’m very familiar with where that boat was and most boats like that are capable of going out to the Gulf Stream which is about 40 miles offshore, unless you are crazy that requires a very capable boat

Is there a dress code for boat stealing?
