Premise
When teenager Zak Storm takes his father's necklace and goes surfing, he is suddenly sucked by a giant wave and ends up in the Bermuda Triangle where he is picked up by a sentient pirate ship called the Chaos with a talking sword named Calabrass. He discovers that the necklace contains a gem called the Eye of Beru, which gives him special powers, and that in order to return home, he needs to become the captain of the Chaos and unite the Seven Seas. He assembles a band of misfits: a ghost boy, an Atlantean princess, a Viking, and a space alien.

Characters
Main
- Conrad Zacharie Storm "Zak Storm" is a 13-year-old boy who ends up getting sucked into the Seven Seas of the Bermuda Triangle whilst out surfing. Zak is voiced by Michael Johnston in the English dub,[5] and by Hervé Grull in the French dub.
- Chrysta Coraline Lejune "Cece Lejune"[6] Atlantean princess and Zak Storm's first mate, helping him stay grounded and keeping his brash side in check. Cece is voiced by Christine Marie Cabanos in English,[5] and by Marie Nonnenmacher in French.
- Crogar, a 15-year-old[6] viking pirate and the muscle of the 7Cs, often shouting "Ragnarok!" as a battle-cry. Crogar is voiced by Chris Smith in English,[5] and by Marc Duquenoy in French.
- Caramba, a small green alien in a yellow robotic exoskeleton who serves as the 7Cs' engineer. He is voiced by Max Mittelman in English,[5] and by Olivier Podesta in French.
- Clovis, a 7-year-old[6] Ectoplasmic-spectre-of-awesome (as he calls himself), not a ghost. Clovis is bound to the ship Chaos and supposedly lost his body, leaving him in his ethereal state. Clovis is voiced by Reba Buhr in English,[5] and by Elodie Menant in French.
- Calabrass is Zak's magical talking sword that grants Zak his powers, and also serves as his mentor. Calabrass holds the Seven Eyes of the Seven Seas of the Bermuda Triangle, and these Eyes each grant his wielder, Zak, a different elemental power and turn Calabrass into a new weapon. However, for each transformation, he expends energy and needs time to recover. Calabrass is voiced by Kyle Hebert in English,[5] and by Jérôme Wiggins in French.
- The Chaos, a living high-tech pirate ship, doesn't speak but counts as a member of the crew and is surprisingly full of personality. Very loyal to his crew, but can be moody at times. Saves Zak from nearly being eaten by the kraken, when he first comes into the triangle, and never lets his Captain down, even when Zak pushes him too far.
Recurring
- Skullivar, The ruler of his own skeleton army, who wants to take over the triangle, is Zak's archenemy and tries to steal the Seven Eyes of the Seven Seas for himself and capture Zak. Skullivar is voiced by David Roach in English.[5][7]
- Golden Bones is Skullivar's lieutenant. He is the captain of a ship called Demoniac and has a literal skeleton crew. He loathes Zak because he's "just a kid" who always beats him in battle. He would give anything to see Zak gone for good. Golden Bones is voiced by Matthew Mercer.[8]
