Recs if you like The Devil and the Dark Water...

I got my swim trunks & my flippy floppies 🩳🩴

I was listening to the lonely island and the next thing you know, this list happened.

this list contains a variety of books that take place on a variety of boats, ships and vessels

as always, taking any and all suggestions

the sea cares not for those who sail it, yet sail they do

No just pirate books! This list includes any tale that takes place (mostly) on a ship at sea.

exploration, shipwreck, waves, storms, beasts

frequently i am like, "why do i love this story so much-- oh, it's found family on a ship"

Whether by lake, sea, or ocean these books have a distinctive nautical feel about them.

True thrillers that you can't put down and keep you heart racing.

Books where the protagonist is anywhere from smart to genius, and that intelligence gets them through the plot. (Ie lots of characters are smart in dif ways, but these characters solve plot-based conflicts intelligently)

They do not want your songs; they want your wood and your iron. These are the krakens of the fog, the massive serpents of the tide, and the whales with enough spite to sink a fleet. They see our ships as intruders and our sailors as snacks. They are the reason we fear the horizon. We call them... the Ship-Breakers.

Books that have any mode of transport as one of the settings

if you read these, youre honestly so cool and have such a great taste.
