Content Warnings

Explicit sexual content

Mild violence and very mild gore

Emotional and verbal abuse

Harassment and attempted coercion

Drugs and alcohol

Mentions of: death and physical abuse

While there will be mentions of death, no living characters will die over the course of the story. There are certainly elements of action and adventure present, but I would like to stress that this interactive novel is - first and foremost - a slice-of-life drama that focuses on romantic, platonic, and professional relationships.

Explicit sexual content can be avoided by abstaining from forming romantic relationships and/or simply letting a character know that it's not something in which you're interested. You may also engage in sexual acts without reading it by choosing to "fade to black".

Romance Options

Petra / Percy Surname The Skipper F or M

P's been piloting boats for the better part of a decade, making great headway in their career via expansive technical and maritime knowledge, as well as impressive management skills. Not that they know how to relax to begin with, but P's been beside themselves with the responsibility of failing their team and guests.

Ramona / Ronan Velasco The Rival F or M

You and R are more similar than they would like to admit - you work the same career, take on similar projects, attract the same fanbase... but they've never had any interest in becoming friends. In fact, they've always been extremely cold and hostile.

Helena / Henry Beaumont-Cresswell The Snob F or M

Though you only met H less than 24 hours ago, you can confidently say they've been the most unbearable so far. They've been inflexible with staff, condescending to you, and have had no qualms expressing their raging hatred for the sea, and nature, and him, and her...

Dex Langley The Bodyguard M

Dex has been going beyond his bodyguard duties these days to do some assistant work while your agency works on finding you a new PA. He's hardworking, reliable, supportive.... and probably should stop putting your needs and desires before his own. He wasn't even meant to be on the boat in the first place, but when duty calls!

Zadie / Zane Graham The Best Friend F or M

Former Olympic tennis player turned retired best friend and… entrepreneur? The reason you were on the boat in the first place, Z is looking for purpose and direction after a recurring shoulder injury led to a quick performance regression and early retirement.

Gecko The Affluent-Hating Deckhand F or M or NB

Pragmatic and curious, Gecko would do anything for a check…. except they’ve been clocked out ever since the capsize, and they - therefore - no longer have to pretend to care about you. In fact, Gecko is very quick to show how much they can’t stand people like you - the rich, the entitled, the out of touch. All things you must be considering you’re a household name. Author's Note: Gecko’s story has the most landmines. It’s not difficult to “fail” the romance, and there’s potential for a successful romance, yet unhappy ending.
