“All of a sudden, full breach, ten feet out of the water, slams on top of his guy’s boat, like his bow goes down, basically, into the water, engine out, full thing pops off, whale rolls over the side of it, totally fine, but his boat was messed up. The 19-foot vessel sustained light damage to its bow but was shockingly still seaworthy” – Ryder Parkhurst

Miraculously, there were no injuries and only minor damage to the vessel, and added that ‘this interaction, while rare, is a reminder that these interactions can be dangerous for both boaters and whales. – Town of Plymouth
