Listen "MV Joyita: The Ghost Ship Where Everyone Ghosted"
Episode Synopsis
Ahoy there nosey friends! Today, we’re boarding the MV Joyita, a ship so cursed it makes the Titanic look like a success story. This floating disasterpiece set sail on what should’ve been a chill little South Pacific journey—but instead of delivering its passengers and cargo, it ghosted harder than your Tinder date.
Weeks later, the Joyita was found drifting hundreds of miles off course, empty except for a pile of unanswered questions. No passengers, no crew—just a yacht playing hide-and-seek with reality. And here’s the kicker: the Joyita was designed to be ‘unsinkable! So… where did everyone go? Did pirates show up with a strict no-passenger policy? Was it a mutiny? Aliens? Or did everyone decide to start a new society on some uncharted island?
Grab your life jackets, because we’re diving deep into the mystery of the MV Joyita: the ship that made ‘unsinkable’ the least interesting thing about it. Let’s set sail—no crew required!
