When getting word of a tsunami, a cruise ship will head out to the deepest part of the ocean she can reach. In deep water, a tsunami may only be a couple of feet or even inches high.

Is it safe to stay in a boat during a tsunami?

In very deep, open water, tsunamis are often undetected by ships that they pass beneath. That's the safe way to be in a boat during a tsunami. Near shore, where the water becomes much shallower, boats can be bad places to be, as the wave-front rears above the surface. If you had adequate warning that a tsunami was approaching, one way to stay safe would be to get in your (fast) boat and get out to deep water. Otherwise, run inland as fast as you can.

How dangerous are tsunami in the open ocean and why?
