About this listen

In 1870, a man took a bet. He said he could sail a twenty-foot yawl across the Atlantic. East to west. The hard way. Most men would have laughed. He didn’t. He just went.
The Ocean Wager tells the true story of Captain Nikola Primorac, a quiet sailor from Dubrovnik who risked everything to cross the sea in a boat smaller than most lifeboats. No engine. No charts worth trusting. No backup. Just sails, salt, and the will to endure.
This is not a tale of glory. There are no parades here. No medals. Just storms and silence. Just two men and a dog, soaked and half-mad, crawling across a grey ocean that doesn’t care if you live or die.

The Ocean Wager is the real thing.
Not pretty. Not polished. Not fake.
Just a true story of a man, a stupid bet,
and the kind of stubbornness that gets you killed,
or makes you a legend.

For anyone who’s ever looked at the horizon and wondered what’s on the other side—this is your answer.

This isn’t a sailing book.
It’s a survival book.
A human book.
The kind we don’t get enough of anymore.
