The former Real Housewives of New York City star and her spouse Jason Hoppy joined a Bravo film crew and other passengers for a boat trip from Block Island, RI to Nantucket, MA on Saturday.
The ship's GPS apparently failed during the journey, leaving Frankel and the others stranded in the middle of the ocean as the captain tried to call the coast guard.
"The captain had to call the Coast Guard and we were hit by a big wave. It was very scary. It was traumatic. Absolutely traumatic," Frankel told E! News.
"We were in the middle of the deep sea with no land or anybody near us. The captain had never, in 30 years, called the Coast Guard."
Frankel said that even though her life was in danger, her greatest worries were for her and Hoppy's daughter Bryn, who was on dry land at the time.
"It was so scary," she commented. "I was thinking, 'Oh, my God, Bryn!' I'm not going to be there at six o'clock in the morning when she wakes up and she's going to wonder where Mommy is, and gosh, if something were to happen to me, what would happen to her? I was having horrendous thoughts."
The Coast Guard was eventually able to reach Frankel's boat at 4am and guide them back to the shore safely.
