Daniel, sailing solo in Samana Bay, Dominican Republic, encountered a panga at night whose occupants carried a rusty AK-47 — a real incident he uses to frame a survey of legal, non-firearm self-defense options for cruising sailors.0:07

Firearms get ruled out first: many countries bar entry to boats carrying guns, confiscate them at check-in, restrict departure to the same port, and occasionally never return the weapon.1:05 Hiding a gun risks jail, boat impoundment, and heavy fines.1:32 The rest of the discussion covers non-firearm alternatives, rated roughly by range and lethality. Long-range options include a wrist rocket slingshot loaded with marbles or CS-gas pepper balls (under $50), a laser pointer for night deterrence, an air horn, and flares — the 12-gauge flare gun is assessed as a deterrent but not reliably lethal.4:54 Mid-range options are a Riffe Bureau 120 speargun (noted as illegal in the Bahamas and Cayman Islands) and a pole spear.12:02 Close-range options include a machete, aluminum baseball bat, and a taser.13:03 Chemical options cover bear mace (recommended with prior self-exposure for training), the boat-cleaning product On-Off in a squirt bottle as a blinding agent, and hornet spray.19:19 A propane torch is mentioned but dismissed as a fire hazard aboard.21:31 Activating a Garmin inReach in a genuine emergency is recommended alongside any physical defense.9:09
