Steven Moll Net Worth 2026: Dangerous Waters Host

No reputable publisher has estimated Steven Moll's net worth, so the $9.8 million figure that used to lead this page has been removed. Moll is a personal-watercraft adventurer from Folsom, California, best known as the creator and host of Dangerous Waters, a reality series that began in 2012 and followed his attempts to cross oceans on Sea-Doos. He now runs Dangerous Water Adventures, a guided Jet Ski tour company that he co-owns with his wife and that operates between Seattle and Juneau, Alaska.

What is Steven Moll's net worth?

There is no figure from Forbes, Celebrity Net Worth or any major newspaper. His show and his tour company are small private businesses, and neither has published revenue. The old page also described him as a champion racer and "one of the highest-paid riders in the sport." That is wrong: Moll is an expedition rider and TV host, not a competition racer, and we found no record of racing titles.

Steven Moll's yearly earnings, monthly income and salary

The earlier claims of $350,000 a year and $29,000 a month came from an unnamed "investigation" and had no source, so they have been removed. His income comes from two places, neither of which discloses figures:

• Dangerous Waters. The show was sponsored by companies including Kawasaki, OtterBox and SBT, according to a 2018 review in Watercraft Journal. Its first six seasons streamed on Amazon Prime Video, and a shorter seventh season was due to air on MavTV.
• Dangerous Water Adventures. A tour company founded in 2018 that takes paying guests on guided personal-watercraft trips through Southeast Alaska, including weeklong rides from Seattle to Juneau.

Dangerous Waters: the TV series

Watercraft Journal's season-by-season review says Moll introduced himself in the first episode as an "adventurist" from Folsom who grew up in Southern California. After a Sea-Doo ride in San Francisco Bay and a trip through the waters of British Columbia, he set out to ride from Seattle to the Bering Strait with his longtime friend Pat McGregor, a novice rider, and a small Alaskan support crew. The first season was marked by breakdowns, groundings and damaged hulls.

Detained in Russia (2012)

The second season became news. In July 2012 Moll's five-person team crossed the Bering Strait from Alaska on Sea-Doos, planning a 6,000-mile trip down the Russian coast to Vietnam, KCRA reported. On arrival in Chukotka they were detained by Russian military guards for not having proper travel documents. After five days, and after paying fines, they got permission from Moscow to leave and rode about seven hours back across the Bering Sea, landing in Teller, Alaska, on July 11, 2012. Moll said in a video message that once the paperwork was done, the two sides shook hands but the team had to go home.

The series later ran to seven seasons, with Moll attempting further long-distance crossings; the reviewer noted that his route-finding often got the team into trouble, which was part of the show's appeal.

Dangerous Water Adventures: the tour business

Moll founded Dangerous Water Adventures in 2018, the Chilkat Valley News reported, guiding groups on personal watercraft from Seattle to Juneau with stops in Wrangell and other Southeast Alaska towns.

In early 2025 he tried to add three-hour guided day tours from downtown Juneau for groups of up to 10. The Juneau Empire reported that he had already started taking bookings, and he told the city's Docks and Harbors Board that he had talked with the Juneau Yacht Club and the youth sailing program. Leaders of both groups told the board they had only just heard of the plan and raised safety concerns about fast boats near children. The board put the permit on hold. Moll told the paper he had not meant to mislead anyone, blamed misunderstandings, and said he was looking at a private site away from downtown. He added that his company runs responsibly and that Jet Ski operators face a bias from people who assume riders behave recklessly.

Early life, family and education

Moll grew up in Southern California, met Pat McGregor at a high school soccer camp, and reconnected with him in college, according to Watercraft Journal. By 2012 he lived in Folsom, near Sacramento.

The old page described a wealthy family, a socialite mother and a university degree with top grades. None of that appears in any reliable source and it has been removed.

Steven Moll's wife

The Juneau Empire describes Moll as co-owner of Dangerous Water Adventures with his wife. Her name was not given in the reports we reviewed, so we do not publish it.

Age, height and weight

His date of birth, height and weight have not been published by a reliable source, so any figures on the old page have been removed.

Why there is no figure

A small TV production supported by sponsors and a seasonal tour company do not produce public financial statements. There is no credible way to value them or his personal assets from the outside. The $9.8 million figure was attached to a false description of him as a top-paid racer, which is one more reason not to repeat it.
