If caught in a severe storm while on your boat, immediately seek safe harbor if possible. If returning to shore is not an option, secure all gear and ensure passengers are wearing life jackets. Head into the waves at a 45-degree angle to minimize swamping and maintain control of the vessel. Stay calm, monitor weather updates, and be prepared to follow emergency procedures.
If your boat gets caught in a severe storm, first secure all loose items and ensure that everyone onboard is wearing a life jacket. Reduce speed and head the bow into the waves to minimize the impact, while keeping the boat's hull as stable as possible. If conditions worsen, consider finding shelter or a safe harbor if it's within reach. Always stay calm and maintain communication with emergency services if necessary.
Drop a sea anchor off the bow.

Reduce speed and head into the waves at a 45-degree angle.Panic and call for help. If you have a radio, it's even better.
Try to shove off with a paddle or boathook.
Deploy a storm anchor (sea anchor) from the bow; something that will slow the boat's drift downwind. Something like a small drogue parachute in the water. The wind will cause the boat to drift, and the waves to rise; the storm anchor will slow down the drift, and keep the boat pointed into the wind. Bow-on is the safest direction for your boat to meet the waves. Otherwise, the wind would tend to push the boat sideways, and you could easily capsize.
Furl your sails, lower the mast, keep low (you will be the highest point, otherwise, and be at risk for a lightning strike), secure any loose gear, turn into the waves, and secure your flotation device. If the boat capsizes, stay with the boat.
