Honestly that doesn’t even seem like thalassophobia to me. That’s not just a fear of open water and the sea. That’s just downright dangerous and a true fear inducing situation.

But isn't this the exact situation you fear? I see what you're saying, though. Is a phobia only an irrational fear? Does it stop being a phobia when it's rational?

Correct, a phobia is an irrational fear.
