Watch our pick of the most dramatic heavy weather videos

yacht videos ocean

This first video of heavy weather sailing is our from our Storm Sailing Series with Skip Novak . It was probably the most ambitious project Yachting World has ever undertaken: to head for Cape Horn with high latitudes doyen Skip Novak to make a series on Storm Sailing Techniques . Here is one of our most popular videos, rounding Cape Horn in Storm Force 10 conditions…

Hallberg Rassy are known for being heavy, sturdy, seaworthy boats.  This video shows Hallberg Rassy 48 Elysium in heavy weather off Cape Gris Nez, northern France in 2014. The yacht seems to be handling well, able to use a Raymarine lineair 7000 autopilot depsite the conditions.

This compilation is from the BT Global Challenge round the world race, a crewed race westabout the prevailing winds in one-design steel 72-footers. It took amateur crews upwind through the Southern Ocean from Cape Horn to New Zealand and from Australia to Cape Town. This footage shows some of the weather they experienced and what the crews endured – and watch out for some footage of the race leaders fighting it out under trysail during a severe storm in the Cook Strait in New Zealand.

Single-handed sailor Berthold Hinrichs sailing in Hinlopenstretet. It is the 150km long strait between Spitsbergen and Nordaustlandet in Svalbard, Norway and can be difficult to pass because of pack ice.

A fun compilation video of sailing in strong breeze including 2 wipeouts, 1 dismasting and 1 guy going for a swim…

Our last example comes from popular YouTube channel Sailing SV Delos , as the crew tackle a 50-knot gale on the crossing to Madagascar. Skip to 8:00 for the stormy stuff:

The Best Sailing Videos on YouTube - Our Favourites!

You may not actually be sailing or boating right now but these videos and clips are sure to entertain your nautical side. As we said, this is our list, but if you think we’ve missed something special let us know and we’ll add it on!

Ready for some entertainment? One, two, three, here we go…

Incredible offshore sailing video from the Volvo Ocean Race

There is no doubt that the introduction of drones for onboard reporters in the last edition of the Volvo Ocean Race changed the viewing dynamic of the race forever. Suddenly you could follow the crews beyond the marina and spectator boats right out into the middle of the ocean. 

Drones enabled us to capture never-before-seen aerial footage that moved audiences from spectators to feeling like members of the crew. To anyone who has ever flown a drone, we think you can appreciate the skill of flying from a boat on a heel like this, going that fast with that much water coming over the deck, onboard reporters we take our hat off to you. 

Here we watch some of their most epic moments in what is, without doubt, one of the most impressive Sailing Videos we’ve ever come across on YouTube.

Impressive video of Vendee Globe Boats sailing around the Kerguelen Islands

With the incredible support of the French Navy and French television TF1, a team of two people spent forty days onboard a frigate helicopter carrier in order to shoot Vendee Globe boats rounding the Kerguelen Islands. Here we see this rare and epic sailing footage.

The best, most complete sailing app available. Cuts out the need to use lots of different apps. Incredibly easy to use. Modern navigational planning software as it should be. Not just a picture of a chart!!!

Video of Alex Thompson performing the most amazing skywalk

This video combines two of our favourite water sports - sailing and kitesurfing.

What if you kite surfed behind the Hugo Boss Vendee Globe boat, attached yourself to a wire and hoisted yourself up to twice the height of your mast before ripping the cord and floating back down on your kite?

We think even the most adrenaline-fuelled individuals would take their hats off to this particular stunt…

This video of a couple living on a self-sufficient sailboat for 10 years

Follow this extraordinary couple who have been living aboard their boat for ten years, sailing 83,000 nautical miles. Using wind and solar panels this couple, and their baby, can be off-grid for months at a time. 

Some people may also know them as SV Delos. The couple knew nothing about sailing before going on to live on their boat full time. 

Take the full video tour of the boat that lets them live a sustainable life on the sea or, if planning your own trip, check out our essential boat packing list . 

This footage of a drunk sailor being pulled off a reef in the Caribbean!

A list of sailing videos wouldn’t be complete without at least one boat fail video and this one is a good reminder to ensure you have the right safety equipment on board ! 

After a night sail back to Grenada in the Caribbean , Sailing SV Delos find a drunk sailor who’s run his sailboat up on a reef with all his sails out and engine on motoring even further onto the reef! Sounds too crazy to be true? Take a look at this…

Watch the guys from BoatUS cover the five outboard maintenance jobs most people forget 

We’ve covered important considerations for maintaining your boat before. In this video, Yamaha technician Sean Stahl of Annapolis Boat Sales explains to BoatUS Magazine's Lenny Rudow five outboard maintenance jobs that people forget about. 

These include replacing the fuel-water separator filter, checking the timing belt for wear, checking engine and bracket zincs, checking trim tab zincs, and removing the prop to look for a fishing line behind the thrust washer.

Awesome Video of Sailing a Superboat Crossing the Atlantic in Record Time

To quote “A Great Big Story,” - “Even the most daunting world records are meant to be broken.” 

And it was no easy feat. On July 22, 2016, Comanche—a custom-built, 100-foot racing yacht—set sail from New York to the southern tip of England. Precisely five days, 14 hours, 21 minutes and 25 seconds later, the Comanche’s crew shattered the world record, by more than a day. 

This video has it all; excellent helming , speed, resilience, teamwork, and the bravery to sail through bad weather.

Brave the high seas as we set sail on one of the most amazing and inspiring journeys ever to take place on film.”

Watch Sailing Nandji prepare their yacht for its first ocean crossing!

We love watching the guys as Sailing Nandji and we are well aware of the importance of proper preparation . In this video Bonita goes up the mast for the first time to take measurements for a new headsail, Yosh gets handy with some fiberglass work and the crew gets creative in the sail loft.

pin of aerial view of sailboat in the ocean with dinghy behind it

Are you dreaming of setting sail around the world? Does it feel far-fetched – like you’ll never see it become a reality?

Have no fear! On this list of YouTube sailing channels, you’ll find a lot of folks who started out dreaming of this crazy lifestyle too.

ariel of sailboat on water with YouTube logo

From the big challenges of moving aboard to sailing to exotic locations, we’re rounding up the best sailing YouTube channels offering firsthand insight into this adventurous lifestyle.

Sailing can be a great way to live minimally while traveling the world, and these top sailing channels will show you what it’s really like to live the dream on the water (both the good, the bad, and the boat projects).

So here are the best YouTube sailing channels and vlogs for inspiration to toss conventional living out the window and start planning your life on the open seas.

In no particular order, let’s dive in!

1. Sailing SV Delos

Subscribers: 833K+

On YouTube Since: May 17, 2007

The oldest channel on this list, the captain and crew of SV Delos are considered the OGs of sailing YouTube videos.

Brian Trautman, the owner and captain of SV Delos, purchased his 2000 Amel Super Maramu 53 in 2009. Shortly after leaving his job as a software engineer in Seattle, Brian began his liveaboard adventure bringing his brother Brady along for the ride. 

Screenshot of Sailing SV Delos YouTube video showing a wide shot of the Delos vessel from the side and Karin on the beam of the boat.

While sailing in New Zealand, they welcomed additional crew members, including Brian’s now-wife Karin (or Kazza), who was backpacking through the country at the time.

Delos has seen a revolving door of guest crew members over the years, some of whom have become long-term fixtures. The crew’s Indian Ocean crossing in 2016 and 2017 holds a special place in the hearts of Delos enthusiasts.

Since those early days, Brian and Karin have tied the knot and welcomed their daughter, Sierra, who now completes their trio as they sail back across the Pacific in 2023.

HIGHLIGHTS:  Having initiated their filming endeavor in 2009, SV Delos has chronicled an incredible journey spanning over 70,000 nautical miles and amassing an astonishing 220 million video views. In 2022, Brian accomplished a remarkable 13-year circumnavigation aboard Delos.

Sailing SV Delos  is more than just a YouTube channel. Through their cinematic storytelling, the crew of SV Delos has inspired countless people worldwide, igniting the flame of wanderlust and encouraging them to embrace the vastness of the open sea and the beauty of the world beyond the horizon.

THIS CHANNEL IS FOR YOU IF: Delos has inspired so many sailors and non-sailors alike. If there’s one sailing YouTube channel you choose to binge-watch – make it this one.

2. sailing la vagabonde.

Subscribers: 1.85M+

On YouTube Since: Oct. 25, 2014

Sailing La Vagabonde , the top sailing channel on YouTube, is made up of the Australian couple Riley and Elyna and their two boys, who they’re raising onboard. 

Elyna met Riley in Greece shortly after he bought his first monohull sailboat, and they have been sailing all over the world and documenting their adventures on La Vagabonde ever since.

Screenshot of Sailing La Vagabonde's video showing a shot of their Outremer catamaran sailing in the ocean.

These sailors’ charisma and easygoing nature make them enjoyable to watch, and their videos are often funny and informative. 

This crew is quite famous in the sailing community, and they’ve even given Greta Thunberg a lift across the Atlantic Ocean.

The La Vagabonde crew has sailed all over the world – first on their Beneteau Cyclades sailboat, then on a new Outremer catamaran.

HIGHLIGHTS:  Most recently, this crew has been awaiting the build of their new Rapido Trimaran 60.

Whether you’re interested in learning more about liveaboard sailing or simply looking for some delightful entertainment, Sailing La Vagabonde is definitely worth a watch.

Other Endeavors

  • Elyna and Riley recently launched Vagabonde Adventures , a sailing instruction charter company where you can learn to sail and even get ASA certified on a performance catamaran.
  • Elyna also has her own sustainable swimwear line, Vaga Bella Swim , where most of the proceeds go to charity.

THIS CHANNEL IS FOR YOU IF: This couple tackles everything head-on. If you want to see what it’s like to sail in 60-knot winds in the Atlantic, swim with tiger sharks, or raise two kids onboard – this channel is for you!

3. gone with the wynns.

Subscribers: 544K+

On YouTube Since: Sep. 25, 2010

Jason and Nikki Wynn are an American couple from Texas with an insatiable thirst for adventure. 

They started their journey trekking across the US in an RV. After over five years of exploring North America, they traded their wheels for keels without  any prior sailing experience . 

Screenshot of Gone with the Wynns YouTube video showing Nikki and Jason talking on the beach.

They purchased a Leopard 43 sailing catamaran in Florida in 2016 and sailed it for approximately a year around the Bahamas while they got their sealegs.

Then they made plans to transit the Panama Canal and cross the Pacific Ocean to head toward Australia.

Through their captivating vlogs, Jason and Nikki share the magic of their experiences, both exploring new cultures and new island adventures above and below the water.

HIGHLIGHTS: In June of 2022, the Wynns started the process of purchasing their new HH Catamaran, featuring an electric/diesel hybrid system.

After selling their Leopard cat in New Zealand, these crazy adventurers couldn’t pass up the opportunity to explore Asia by land while awaiting the splash day of their new sailing vessel!

Gone with the Wynns is a YouTube channel that is definitely binge-worthy if you are interested in living aboard with minimal sailing experience.

As seasoned travelers, the Wynns offer valuable insights into the practical aspects of both RV and sailboat living , and we’re here to soak up their knowledge and enjoy the ride on land and water!

THIS CHANNEL IS FOR YOU IF: You want to liveaboard with no sailing experience (it can be done)! If you’re seeking to transition from RV life to boat life, you’ll find the past videos of the Wynns channel inspirational and informative.

4. tula’s endless summer.

Subscribers: 212K+

On YouTube Since: Nov. 15, 2011

Sierra and Billy of Tula’s Endless Summer are two wandering souls who have traveled around on everything from a 1988 catamaran to a 4X4 truck camper.

Screenshot of Tula's Endless Summer's video of the front of the catamaran while under sail and crew out on the bow.

Accompanied by their adorable pup Jetty, Sierra and Billy embark on liveaboard boating adventures where they can be frequently spotted catching their own dinner (lobsters, fish, clams, etc.) or entertaining themselves with various water activities.

These sailors are not scared of project boats and are always up for a new challenging adventure.

HIGHLIGHTS: They spent 2021 and 2022 rebuilding a trawler they bought for $100 to cruise the pacific northwest while awaiting the delivery of their new catamaran.

In the summer of 2023, they finally received their new cruising catamaran, a Seawind 1170, and are jumping back into documenting their sailing adventure onboard as they head toward the Carribean.

THIS CHANNEL IS FOR YOU IF: Aside from the incredible liveaboard inspiration, this is a great channel if you’re looking for sailing tips, boat work hacks, or want to see how to cruise full-time with your dog.

5. sailing uma.

Subscribers: 419K+

On YouTube Since: Feb. 4, 2015

Sailing Uma  is an empowering YouTube channel that follows the journey of Dan and Kika, a young couple who set sail on their 36-foot, all-electric sailboat, Uma. 

Dan and Kika have embraced a minimalist and sustainable sailing lifestyle and inspired viewers looking to break free from conventional norms with their motto, “don’t buy a couch.”

Having grown up with a love for water and a deep connection to Lake Michigan, Matt and Jessica’s passion for bluewater sailing was a natural progression.

Over the years, MJ Sailing has taken viewers on a remarkable adventure spanning 35,000 nautical miles.

From the turquoise waters of the Caribbean to the rugged beauty of the Azores, they’ve navigated through diverse cultures and two Atlantic crossings, all while capturing the essence of life at sea in their videos.

Sailing Zatara  is a popular YouTube channel created by an American sailing family from Texas.

Joined by their four adventurous children, Anna, Jack, Finn, and Kate – the channel offers a unique glimpse (often with a lot of added humor) into the excitement and challenges of raising a family onboard.

After putting 12,500 nautical miles under their monohull’s keel, this family decided they needed a bit more space, so they upgraded to a 58-foot Privilege catamaran.

HIGHLIGHTS: In April 2023, they completed their seven-year circumnavigation logging over 50,000 nautical miles and visiting 48 countries.

The channel’s vlogs are a delightful mix of travel and sightseeing off the boat, sailing passages, and everyday life – including homeschooling and boat maintenance projects. 

Most recently, the Zatara crew has hosted two groups of young adults for a month on their sailboat selected by an application process.

The Whitaker family’s authenticity and love for the lifestyle shine through in their vlogs, inviting viewers to be part of their extended sailing family. Their channel inspires others to explore the world with their loved ones and embrace a life of adventure.

Their sailboat Millennial Falcon is a 1981 Tayana 42, which they bought in Florida in 2018.

Screenshot of Sailing Project Atticus YouTube video showing Desiree on the mast while under sail.

This young couple found each other while working on super yachts in 2012, and it didn’t take long for them to hatch a plan to save up and sail the world.

They purchased their first sailboat, Atticus, for a mere $5,000 in Florida. It was a 1963 Allied Seawind 30 and needed a lot of work.

Fueled by passion and determination, Desiree and Jordan spent three years meticulously refitting the boat, turning it into a floating home that would carry them on unforgettable adventures.

As they continued their sailing escapades, the couple found innovative ways to sustain their passion financially. Their newfound skills in boat maintenance and willingness to take on odd jobs along the way provided the means to fund their dream of circumnavigation.

HIGHLIGHTS: Recently,  Sailing Project Atticus  reached a significant milestone with an upgrade to their dream sailboat, Atticus II, a 1997 Pacific Seacraft 40. This new vessel provides room for the arrival of a new crew member—a beautiful addition to their journey!

Screenshot of White Spot Pirates YouTube video with a close up shot of Nike and the sail behind her.

With a mere 2,000 nautical miles in her sailing experience upon acquiring her boat, this channel beautifully illustrates how determination and a thirst for learning can pave the way for remarkable achievements on the water.

Since then, they’ve added two little crew members, their kids Willa and Bodhi, and have completed a circumnavigation.

Screenshot of Sailing Nahoa YouTube video with family sitting in the cockpit of the sailboat.

This sailing family has cruised all over the world on a 2005 Lagoon 410 catamaran.

From crossing the South Pacific and Indonesia to exploring Madagascar and, most recently, rounding the Cape of Good Hope, they’ve had some fantastic (and wild) experiences along the way.

Whether catching a giant tuna off their stern or fighting off pirates during the night, this crew doesn’t shy away from sharing the exciting and scary moments of living aboard. 

HIGHLIGHTS:  The Nahoa crew recently partnered with New Zealand designer de Villiers Design to build a custom aluminum catamaran perfect for high-latitude sailing.

This couple’s new endeavor to build a custom catamaran exemplifies their unyielding quest for new horizons, less boat maintenance, and high-latitude sailing possibilities.

Sailing Doodles  is a YouTube channel and brand created by Texas native Bobby White. 

Previously a private pilot, Bobby got a wake-up call when he suffered a stroke and could no longer perform his job. Determined to make the most of his circumstances, he chose to seize the moment and embrace a new chapter by purchasing a sailboat.

Screenshot of Sailing Doodles YouTube video with aerial shot of sailboat in the ocean.

Sailing Doodles has had a constant rotation of guest crew over the years. And Bobby has become somewhat famous in the YouTube and sailing world for surrounding himself with beautiful women on board.

HIGHLIGHTS: Bobby has owned and sailed many boats over the years, including a motor yacht that he cleverly named “The Dark Side.” This channel features primarily coastal cruising in exotic locations such as the Caribbean and Mediterranean. 

The channel is named for Bobby’s two Labradoodles, Maverick and Goose. Unfortunately, he lost these loyal sailing companions in 2020 and 2022, respectively. (I still hope Bobby decides to add a furry sailing crew back on this channel someday.)

Top 10 must-see superyacht drone videos

Abramovich yacht eclipse moors up in barcelona.

From aerial views of the famous Motor Yacht A  and the late Steve Jobs' yacht  Venus  to dramatic footage of an explorer yacht on fire, these are our top ten must-see superyacht drone videos.

Situated at the heart of Barcelona, OneOcean Port Vell is a popular stop-off for some of the world’s largest superyachts and they don’t come much bigger than Eclipse .

This stunning video gives us a fresh perspective on the 162.5 metre Blohm+Voss yacht’s true scale, as she dwarfs her neighbours in the city centre marina. The close-up drone footage also reveals details of her aft deck, wing stations and helipads.

St David passing through the Corinth canal

It is often said that the journey is just as important as the destination and with a route like this it’s easy to see why. This dramatic superyacht drone video shows the 60 metre  Benetti  yacht  St. David  passing through the narrow Corinth canal that links the Gulf of Corinth with the Saronic Gulf in the Aegean Sea.

Styled by  Andrew Winch Design  and launched in 2008,  St. David  is available for charter with West Nautical, with prices starting at $266,000 per week.

Drone video of Motor Yacht A in Iceland

The word unique is bandied around in the superyacht sector, but if there is any yacht deserving of the description it is the undeniably one-of-a-kind Motor Yacht A  built by  Blohm+Voss . This must-see yacht drone video of  Motor Yacht A  gives an amazing view of the unusual lines of the 119 metre  Philippe Starck -designed yacht as she’s anchored off Reykjavik.

It’s easy to look at Motor Yacht A  from afar and question if she has enough outdoor living space, but this video gives an up-close view of her forward deck with a  swimming pool  tucked under the overhang and aft deck with another huge pool, covered deck spaces and two mezzanine style decks built into her lofty superstructure.

Drone video of 77m Silver Fast

Launched in 2015,  Silver Fast  is the 77 metre flagship of the  Silver Yachts  range, with a sculpted  Espen Oeino  exterior and foredeck helipad.

This video, shot off the coast of the French Riviera in May 2016, shows off her three shaded aft decks and extended beach club.  Silver Fast  is currently offered for sale with Burgess Yachts and BehneMar  with an asking price of €79.5 million — making her one of  the most expensive yachts listed for sale right now .

Gold superyacht Khalilah moored up in Miami

One of the most divisive yachts in the world , the 49 metre Khalilah by Palmer Johnson is immediately recognisable due to her metallic gold superstructure and she fits right in amid the glamorous surroundings of Miami Beach. This drone fly-by video, shot by brokerage firm Denison Yacht Sales , gives us a great view of her expansive exterior spaces, including the slide-out wingstations on the superyacht sundeck .

Drone video of explorer yacht Polar Bear on fire

Sometimes a must-see yacht drone video is more of the “can’t look away because it’s so horrific” variety. Cue this video of Citadel Yachts'   Polar Bear ,  shot by police and destroyed by fire  in June 2014. It was reported that welding work gone awry was the likely cause of the fire that destroyed the 31 metre yacht.

Huge plumes of smoke rise from the firey yacht as she smoulders away. You know it’s not going be a good ending for this poor explorer yacht, but like moths to a flame, the yacht fire video is transfixing to us viewers and made even more so when caught in aerial view by a drone, making this a real must-see video.

Drone video of ISA launching superyacht Forever One

A yacht launch is a happy occasion for a builder, and what better way to show a different perspective when splashing their latest yacht than by drone video?

This must-see video shows the 54 metre  ISA  yacht  Forever One  slipping backwards into the water in just 30 seconds. As we normally see a yacht launch in the form of static photos, this video puts the process into perspective and gives an appreciation for how fast these large yachts can actually be launched.

Drone video of Atmosphere and Twizzle in Liguria

If there was a catwalk for beautiful yachts, there is fair chance that these two would grace it. But instead of strutting their stuff on the ocean waves,  Atmosphere  and  Twizzle  are captured here enjoying some down time on the Italian Riviera at Santa Margherita in Liguria, mixing with their motorised cousins, albeit with an air of hauteur.

At first glance it is difficult to distinguish between the two beauties as they have the same distinguished navy blue hull and elegant, slender lines. Closer inspection reveals some subtle differences between the 53 metre  Atmosphere , from Italian shipyard  Perini Navi , and the slightly larger 57 metre  Twizzle , a product of Dutch builder  Royal Huisman .

What they have in common, though, is a sailing pedigree to light up the high seas and any harbour they care to make their port of call.

Drone video of Astra cruising in Guadeloupe

This stunning footage of the 55 metre  Amels  superyacht  Astra  comes courtesy of  Imperial Yachts , which is currently offering  Astra  for charter . It takes quite an amazing destination to draw your attention away from such an impressive yacht but Guadeloupe manages it as the camera pans out to reveal a vast expanse of vivid turquoise.

Drone video of Azimut 84 yacht cruising in Miami

This drone video of the Phantom 3  fast yacht tender  chasing an Azimut 84 might as well be an advertisement for a  luxury yacht charter in Miami .

The Azimut 84,  Ciao , departs the  Miami superyacht marina  of Grove Isle, heads into Biscayne Bay and past the iconic Vizcaya Mansion (1:08). The luxury yacht then heads under a causeway and out into open waters where she shows off what she can really do – this model can reach a top speed of 29 knots. She has some inviting amenities as well with a  hot tub , bar and foredeck seating area.

Terrifying Video Captures Pod Of Whales Surrounding Solo Paddler Across Atlantic Ocean

The situation took a frightening turn when one of the whales bumped into his boat, causing him to drop the camera and pause filming briefly.

Terrifying Video Captures Pod Of Whales Surrounding Solo Paddler Across Atlantic Ocean

Tom Waddington found himself surrounded by long-finned pilot whales

An adventurer paddling solo across the Atlantic Ocean had an unexpected encounter with a massive pod of pilot whales, an experience that left him both exhilarated and alarmed.

Tom Waddington, on his journey from Newfoundland to England, found himself surrounded by long-finned pilot whales after a morning drizzle on July 7, as he shared on Instagram.

In a video, Waddington expressed his amazement: "This is so cool. A pod of whales is circling the boat and playing around it. I love it, but I'm worried they might hit my rudder. They're so close, see?"

He continued, "I can hear them blowing bubbles. Wow, that is so cool. What a special treat. I've seen many whales before, but they're just here to say hello."

View this post on Instagram A post shared by Tom Waddington (@tomwaddington_skier)

When he resumed, his voice carried a note of concern. "I'm two hours in now with these thousands of whales," he said on camera. "One bumped the boat earlier, and I'm really scared they might hit it again. It's an incredible sight, but also very frightening."

According to the crew monitoring Waddington's journey from shore, the whales eventually swam away, allowing him to continue his paddle towards land, the New York Post reported.

Though Waddington emerged unscathed, the reality of sharing the ocean with such large creatures became starkly clear when one whale collided with his small boat. He later recounted the experience on social media, highlighting the shift from a serene wildlife encounter to a more daunting reality.

Experts suggest that the whales Waddington encountered were likely long-finned pilot whales, known for their social nature and tendency to travel in large groups. According to NPR, these whales often form tight-knit pods and are commonly found in the North Atlantic, as reported by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

Insane video shows huge great white shark bite boat: ‘he f—king smashed me’.

Footage has captured the wild moment a massive great white shark attacked a boat off the Sunshine Coast in Australia.

Jayden Grace was fishing at Mooloolaba off the Sunshine Coast on Sunday when the shark began circling his boat.

“That is huge,” Grace can be heard saying in the video.

The video shows the large shark circling the boat , while his friend is trying to reel in a fish from the other side of the boat.

After a minute or so of circling the boat, the great white shark turns its sights on the boat, trying to take a chunk out of the side.

“Woah! Woah! Woah! He just bit my boat!” Grace yells.

“I think it’s time to leave.”

Footage shows the moment the shark comes out of the water and attempts to bite into the boat, before turning and splashing its tail out of the water and swimming back into the sea.

“That’s what the great white did to my boat,” Grace said.

“Holy f—k, he f—king smashed me.”

Grace described the experience as unforgettable in a post to Facebook.

“Well that’s something I’ll never forget! By far the biggest shark I’ve seen in my life! Easy 5m great white shark has a little taste test of the renegade,” he wrote.

Italian Authorities Open Manslaughter Investigation in Yacht Disaster

A prosecutor involved in the inquiry into the sinking said it was “plausible” that crimes were committed during the accident.

Reporting from Termini Imerese, Sicily

Italian authorities said on Saturday that they had opened a manslaughter investigation into the sinking of the Bayesian luxury yacht, but that they had not yet zeroed in on any potential suspects.

The sleek, $40 million sailing boat went down fast in a storm off Sicily’s coast on Monday morning, killing Michael Lynch, a British tech billionaire; his teenage daughter, Hannah; four of his friends; and one member of the crew. The captain escaped on a lifeboat with 14 others.

On Saturday, Ambrogio Cartosio, the prosecutor in charge of the case, said at a news conference that it was “plausible” crimes were committed during the accident.

“There could be responsibilities of the captain only,” he said. “There could be responsibilities of the whole crew. There could be responsibilities of the boat makers. Or there could be responsibilities of those who were in charge of surveilling the boat.”

Here is what the authorities said on Saturday:

It will be difficult to determine the cause of the sinking until the yacht is brought to the surface and inspected, which could take weeks.

Five bodies were found in the same cabin.

The yacht sank at an angle, with the stern — where the heavy engine is situated — having gone down first.

The captain and the crew, who have been holed up in a Sicilian hotel with other survivors, are allowed to leave Italy. But prosecutors said that they still want to ask them more questions.

The authorities did not perform alcohol or drug tests on the captain or the crew.

The authorities would not comment on whether hatches on the deck had been left open, which would have allowed water to pour in during the yacht’s sinking.

In addition to possible manslaughter charges, the authorities are also investigating the possibility of a negligently caused shipwreck, a crime that carries up to several years in prison upon conviction.

Investigators said they were focusing on why the 184-foot-long Bayesian, which was built in 2008, went down so quickly, especially when other yachts nearby weathered the storm.

Executives at the company that built the boat have said there is nothing faulty with the design of the yacht and have tried to shift the blame to the crew.

At the news conference on Saturday, the authorities were asked why the captain, James Cutfield, an experienced sailor, left the sinking boat while some passengers were still on board.

“The investigations are also focusing on this,” said Raffaele Cammarano, another prosecutor. But he added that the witnesses they had spoken to said that “the event was really, really sudden.”

Some people who were along the Sicilian coast at the time of the sinking described seeing waterspouts, which are vicious funnels of water and wind that sweep across a body of water during thunderstorms. But on Saturday, Italian authorities said they believed it was more likely that a downburst occurred at the time of the accident.

A downburst is a blast of powerful wind that comes surging down from the sky during thunderstorms. The Italian authorities said that extreme weather was “one of the main elements” of their investigation, but added that they were still at the early stages of their inquiry and that they did not want to “play the probability game.”

The rescuers found the bodies of five passengers in one cabin, which was on the left side of yacht. The yacht was found lying on its right side at the bottom of a bay, in about 160 feet of water. The authorities said the passengers who died were most likely trying to flee to the higher side of the boat and were probably sleeping when the accident happened.

The authorities said that they were not certain whether a black box existed and that the hull was still being searched.

Mr. Cartosio would not comment directly on the actions of the crew, but said that it would be “even more painful” if “the sinking was caused by behaviors that were not perfectly in order with the responsibilities that each person must have in the management of navigation.”

But he added that “this is just, in fact, the beginning of an inquiry.”
