Storyline

Amy, her husband James and their baby Sarah travel to Mexico to sail in the yacht of their reckless friend Dan with their common friends Zach and Lauren and celebrate the thirtieth birthday of Zach. They are introduced to Dan's girlfriend Michelle and they drink and recall moments of their past while navigating. Miles away from the shore, Michelle suggest to stop the yacht and swim in the calm water. Amy stays in the boat since she has a childhood trauma with ocean and Dan stays with her. Later, the irresponsible Dan pushes Amy overboard, falling with her in a prank. Once in the water, the group realizes that Dan forgot to put the embarkation ladder and the freeboard makes impossible to climb to the main deck the yacht. With the baby alone in the boat and stranded in the open sea, they panic and their desperation lead them to a tragic fight for survival.

User Reviews

Idiots jump off a yacht for a swim and can't get back on board

This has got to be one of the dumbest movies ever made. A bunch a lazy clowns fall overboard and can't figure out how to climb back on so they die in the water around the boat. Finally a guy figures out if he wedges a broken piece of a glass mask into a crack he can gain purchase and the gal can climb up his back to the bulkhead. But, anyone who knows their ass from a tea kettle realizes they could have done this exact same thing simply by grabbing hold of the anchor protruding from the bow without all the senseless drama and hackneyed dialogue. This was an attempt to recapture audience from Open Water the first which was almost as lame. Geez. Darwin at work once again.
