Astonishing moment pod of orcas SINKS tourist boat​

This is the astonishing moment a pod of killer whales rammed into a tourist boat and caused it to sink.

The vessel was sailing along off the coast of Fonte da Telha beach in Portugal on Saturday when disaster stuck.

Footage shows several orcas chasing the boat before they start violently slamming against it, sending the sailors into a panic.

Sep 14, 2025 #LiveAboard #Yachting #SailingTips
In this video, I provide a report on a recent event off the coast of Portugal where a sailboat was sunk after an orca atack. While the crew was rescued and is safe, the boat was lost.
I'll cover the timeline of the event, explain the circumstances surrounding the sinking, and discuss the wider phenomenon of orca interactions with boats in this region. This incident is part of a growing number of atacks.

Have Trump either deport the whales or send in a SEAL Team to exterminate them with extreme prejudice. Personally I always liked the t-shirt slogan, "Nuke the Whales!"

How orca ‘dialects’ could help solve the puzzle of why killer whales keep attacking boats​

When three killer whales struck the Lady L, Heath Samples thought a tanker had collided with his yacht as everyone on board was knocked off their feet.

After the orcas repeatedly buffeted the yacht, the British businessman was forced to call mayday and feared for his life.

“It was terrifying. We thought, if we are thrown in the water, what are they going to do to us? They have just thrown a ten-tonne yacht all over the place, what are they going to do to you?” says Samples as he relived the run-in off the coast of southern Spain.
