Deadliest Catch’s Nick Mavar, who died in June, has a spirit that still lives on. The former Discovery Channel cast member was a sailor for 16 years and his voice can be heard in the series.
Nick Mavar died of a heart attack in June 2024, his wife, Julie, confirmed. The Deadliest Catch star’s voice was instantly recognized by fans, which still rings out even though he is sadly no longer here.
Nick Mavar died doing what he loved
Nick Mavar died in June. His nephew, Jake Anderson, said Mavar suffered a heart attack while on a ladder at a shipyard in Naknek, Alaska, where he was conducting his fishing operation, and fell into a dry dock.
The 59-year-old man was pronounced dead after police received a 911 call informing them that he had suffered a medical emergency at the Naknek shipyard. The sailor from F/V Northwestern was transported to a local hospital.
He later died of natural causes, before the recent season of Deadliest Catch was filmed. Mavar had been battling health problems in recent years, including a previous heart attack and cancer.
His voice was heard on Deadliest Catch.
Although he is no longer with us, Nick’s voice can be heard on Deadliest Catch. Every time there is an empty boat, the words “Oh, no” play in the background, and it is Mavar’s phrase.
One fan said: “Has anyone else noticed the same voice saying “Oh noooo” or just “Noooo” every time they go blank, but it’s the same voice on every ship? I’ve noticed this for years.”
The traditional soundbite is a tribute to Mavar’s 16 years on the show. Regardless of which ship has the empty pot, each episode plays the audio of his voice without fail.
It is not only when the pot is empty that his voice is heard. When success occurs, you hear his hoarse voice shouting, “YEEEEAAAAHHHH!!” when there is also a pot full of crabs.
I remember wincing when Nick took that hook to the face in a storm. Bering Sea fishermen are on another level both physically and mentally, but it takes a toll on their bodies.
It is very sad that he died at only 59 years old. RIP Nick Mavar 💔#DeadliestCatch pic.twitter.com/5mJXzl8ZPs
