Joe Jonas said the accident was 'terrifying.'

"The first mate is helping me onto the tender, and the guy is saying, 'Alright, you’re good. You’re good. Wait, wait, wait, wait — hold off. Hold up. You’re good. You’re good," he began.

"The boat is getting pretty close to the yacht, but as I take a step, I think a wave came in and pushed the boat far out from the yacht," Jonas continued.

"It sounds like the bougiest problem, but it was terrifying because I slipped, and I fell between the two boats, and the first mate tried to grab me, but he ended up falling in after me," he said.

Joe Jonas shared that the crew member also fell in with him.

"So I’m just between these two boats," the Disney Channel alum recalled, "and I come back up and I’m just like...what just happened?"

He said that the crew member, clearly shaken up, still managed to check on him first: "He’s like, 'Are you okay?' And I’m like, 'Yeah, I’m fine.'"

"My first instinct was, 'I need to get away from these two boats,'" Jonas continued. "They were like, 'Just swim to the ladder,' and I’m like, 'No, that’s where the engines are.' I’m just thinking, 'I’m going to climb up onto the tender.'"
