Life on the water can be unpredictable. One moment, a ship is sailing smoothly. The next, it's battling rough seas, struggling against strong currents or heading towards an unexpected collision.
Storms can turn an ordinary voyage into a frightening experience, with vessels rocking violently as crews struggle to keep their balance. Even boarding a boat can be an adventure, as passengers navigate slippery decks, moving gangways and choppy waters.
The consequences can be even more dramatic when larger vessels are involved. Massive container ships have been filmed crashing into docks and bridges, while smaller boats can be thrown off course by strong currents, rough waves or sudden changes in direction.
But not every mishap at sea ends in disaster. Some of the most entertaining moments involve people finding unusual ways to enjoy the water, from floating on inflatable beds to taking their pets along for a boat ride.
Whether it's a spectacular collision, a close call in stormy weather or an amusing moment caught on camera, these videos show that there's rarely a dull moment on the water.
