The approach used in this research is using a qualitative approach. The informants in this study were 7 fishermen, consisting of 4 large boat fishermen and 3 small boat fishermen. Data were collected using interview techniques and open questionnaires. The results of the study show that some forms of courage are daring to step forward to move forward, if this was indeed necessary, courage can also be interpreted as daring to step back regularly and take tactics if it is considered better. Someone who has a brave nature will use his own way according to the circumstances of the atmosphere and time. A brave person, that is, if he does something after careful thought and his heart is determined that what he is doing will give results. Based on the above phenomenon, a person who has courage is a person who is in a condition and environment that requires him to dare to take strategic steps, fight for it seriously and also dare to take risks. One indication that shows this courageous nature can be photographed in the life of the fishing community in Api-api Village, Wonokerto District, Pekalongan Regency. Where most of the people's livelihoods are fishermen who demand them to take steps that require courage and are full of risk in navigating the vast ocean.
