My father was a trawler captain, He first went to sea when he was 15 and spent over 55 years working on boats before he died. I spent most of my younger years on boats. He broke his nose FIVE times at sea by the time i was born :) Slippery decks, oil and rough seas. i miss them all now.
This is normal in North Atlantic. My father was WWII Merchant Marine who regularly did the North Sea run to Russia. He timed a wave they were riding from crest to trough to crest again was 1 minute. Vessel speed was very slow.
The storm they show us in "The Deadlies Catch" is like a storm in a glass compared to this!... To all of you Icelandic fisherman - i take my hat of to you all, and prey that you will all be safe during your work!! And i am Icelandic, a fisherman´s daughter and these men and women have my highest respect.. They are true heroes..
Very nice video, thanks also for explaining why you weren't rocking so much and they were, they are actually playing it up for the video, very good :))
In fact it is in the lee of the island and entering harbour. As a student I spent a summer there (Vestmannaeyjar) working in a fish factory and some of the summer storms were spectacular. I saw a trawler sunk, inside the harbour. Sometimes the trawlers came back into the harbour with their liferafts already inflated on deck.
gubb..... þvílíki öldugangurinn, varð sjóveik af að horfa á þetta!!!!! Þvílíkar hetjur eru sjómenn að geta verið í svona veðri á sjó....og margir án þess að gubba!!!! :)
Thanks guys - you do a fantastic job, just to put prawns on our table. People don't realise when they complain about "the price of fish" - this is the price you pay for us. Well Done and Thanks again.
Imagine being on that ship as it jumps those waves... Now imagine being the guy controlling the throttle, pushing it forward with a big grin on your face!
@etmackay REALLY? wow, that is so impressive. Lots of videos shot even on ''terra firma'' are so wobbly they make me seasick to watch, yet this one, on a very turbulent sea is as steady as a rock. not surprising that you have so many views..my grandfather was a boat builder in the north west of Scotland, Ullapool, and I would think the seas around there are fairly wild, too. Well done again,this is one of my favourite sea videos.
That ship has some serious horsepower pushing it. Considering that water weighs 1 ton per cubic meter, this ship is pushing it aside without losing any momentum. Obviously designed for those kinds of sea conditions. Would still take nerves of steel to be at the helm and push it through that entrance. Kudos to the Skipper and crew.
This video is taken from another vessel, you can see a glimpse of it. And they're "stable" because they're sheltering behind the islands you see. Not a lot of oilrigs near Iceland (none actually). And those are boats marked VE XXX from the Vestmann islands off the south shore of Iceland. One of which they're trying to shelter themselves behind.
You must bring the buyer on a trip in that weather… for price negotiating:)! (and you will all get wayyyyy better paid!!!!) Great skipper and nice boat handling skills, and I bet the guy filming been a few days at sea too...
Looked like the 3 large waves stopped the boat for a a few seconds and the wind blew it off its heading. Then the engines got the ship moving again and the sailor returned it to its original heading directly into the waves. Must've been an anxious moment waiting for the boat to turn, I reckon.
2) I saw tv docu. footage of Canadian Coast Guard & commercial fishermen. CG was in north Pacific, while the fishermen were in north Atlantic, & both went thru very rough seas, 20+ ft waves, but am pretty sure it was on the commercial fishing boat where thr was a small crew member, maybe 5ft8in & to prevent him from going overboard & becoming lost, mates tied a long rope around his waste & tied the other end to a strong part of the boat. That way, if he went overboard, they could pull him in.
m/s is standard SI units. Used for doing calculations all the time. But, I also would like to know if ships just get caught in that weather or if they go out in it.
@etmackay are those cliffs in the background at 1:00? you guys seem to get close to the rocks if so, do you get worried about hitting bottom? and also are you exposed on the deck or in a protected area on the other boat? sorry for all the questions, I am just so curious, I obviously know very little about ships lol
BRRR ! That sea looks furious and that water is very cold these sailor are very brave to be inside of that ship and probably they do that every day it is amazing.
I cant imagine what its like to be on board a vessel like this in such severe weather.Huge respect to the skipper and the crew..

I have seen videos of snails crawling on grass on a sunny day with the camera shaking like hell. Congrats to the camera man for this one!
Haha...

My dad was in the Royal Navy at same time WW2. Destroyers Minesweepers etc. A tough lot.

That's got to be the best pirate I've ever seen.
Wow. Great video. Can't believe how close they were to those rocks.
Vikings, the loves of my life. If I could I'd vote it twice with thumbs up. Say congratulations to your father.
Amazing to see. 125 years ago you could only read about such things if you weren't a sailor.
you're right, these and war videos, only tales the bravest of men could tell...
Haha glad to be there guys! Happy you enhoyed!
125 years ago, you’re right you COULD read about it. Unfortunately, if you were on a boat back then, you’d be too dead to see what you were reading
Looks like fun. Till bed time. It is real hard to sleep in this stuff.
Quarlow 12 you get used to it
its actually very nice
"Looks like fun"
it looks so beautiful and impressive! Those seaman are heros!
Beee-yootiful! And that rocky shoreline that looms up gives me shivers...
"The sea was angry that day my friends" "George Costanza" Seinfeld!!!
it is incredible, why do people complain about getting up for work while we have to maybe work in these conditions for a month or so?
You picked your own job everyone has the right to complain
That’s like saying why are people without fingers complaining when we don’t have arms
Very nice video, thanks also for explaining why you weren't rocking so much and they were, they are actually playing it up for the video, very good :))
Awesome video. Thanks for posting.
The heroes of Iceland!
Looked a bit close to those rocks.
In fact it is in the lee of the island and entering harbour. As a student I spent a summer there (Vestmannaeyjar) working in a fish factory and some of the summer storms were spectacular. I saw a trawler sunk, inside the harbour.
Sometimes the trawlers came back into the harbour with their liferafts already inflated on deck.
I can just picture the crew in the cockpit just glued to the ceiling from that fall awesome 👌
Thank you SindrePV.Christ,talk of heavy weather!On a sailor's grave no roses bloom!
GET ME THE LUDES!
I’m not dying sober!
Brings a new meaning to "one step forward, 2 steps back"
Great filming, must have been one helluva ride!
Welcome back !
After seeing this every piece of fish on my plate will be treated with awe & respect. YEEOOWW!!!
Excellent footage, thanks for sharing.
These guys are nuts. Better know what you're doing there. Respect from germany!!!
Amazing video. Thanks for posting.
The coolest video I've seen. I hope nobody got hurt in such an extraordinary experience.
I at first thought no big deal untill I saw those freaking rocks in the background, Those guys are crazy sure.
Amazing clip. I like it very much.
GAWDAMIGHTYYY!!! These clips even put the tv series worst wave breaks to...a back seat at worst! That boat nearly faced STRAIGHT DOWN in the tempest!
woooow! incredible!
This is in my top 10 favorite videos of all time.
Wow! This is a roller-coaster ride you cannot get off of.
Beeing so close to the rocks in that kind of weather seems unbearable nerv wrecking to me! I get the shivers just by looking at it.
talk about feeling helpless! Mercy is all you can ask for.
best footage I've seen on youtube of any boat or ship in storm
Awesome ! thanx for sharing.
Wow! That´s what I call bad weather.
Thanks for uploading!
@civicturbolive Here is why: My captain told the other captain that I was outside with the camera so added more speed;)
brilliant footage, looked like the ship was about to take off at one point!
I just think of the engineers that made the ship which withstands the impact of the waves. Impressive video of mother nature vs. man's creation.
You have my respect!!!
What a rollercoaster!
That looks like fun!!!
Spectacular footage. People on inland waters (much less land) get to see. Thanks UA-cam and Etmackie.
@Oakleaf700 No I did not have steadicam:). I was behind the bridge out of the winds way and with a pair of good sea legs;).
I love this video.
gubb..... þvílíki öldugangurinn, varð sjóveik af að horfa á þetta!!!!! Þvílíkar hetjur eru sjómenn að geta verið í svona veðri á sjó....og margir án þess að gubba!!!! :)
Jesus Christ !! Breathtaking motion.. It's like a movie.. But this case.. It's reality.. Good job captain !! U overcome it!
One of the best high resolution storm videos.

thank you very much for this kind of job :)
Spectacular....Would love to be on that vessel at that time..
Amazing footage. Thanks.
Thanks guys - you do a fantastic job, just to put prawns on our table. People don't realise when they complain about "the price of fish" - this is the price you pay for us. Well Done and Thanks again.
esta excelente el video ... eso se ve impresionante
amazing...and beautiful
Imagine being on that ship as it jumps those waves...
Now imagine being the guy controlling the throttle, pushing it forward with a big grin on your face!
Wow, nice driving.
Very good video, also looks very cold there.
wow....I flew pretty close to Iceland on my way to Europe back in 1988
That is amazing! These men are sooooo brave.
I love how it's nearly tipping over but the boat with the cameraman has smooth sailing. lol
@etmackay REALLY? wow, that is so impressive. Lots of videos shot even on ''terra firma'' are so wobbly they make me seasick to watch, yet this one, on a very turbulent sea is as steady as a rock. not surprising that you have so many views..my grandfather was a boat builder in the north west of Scotland, Ullapool, and I would think the seas around there are fairly wild, too. Well done again,this is one of my favourite sea videos.
These people, fishermen, are really heroic. You have to admire their bravery.
Beautiful.
The captain just did a bunnyhop with that boat :D
Looks like fun. Dangerously fun.
Wish I was onboard, what a thriller.
To all Fisherman of the world, i hereby to express my greatest gratitude to you all....
that is some freaking dangerous job....
Imagine what that would have been like in a Viking longboat, or any kind of sailing ship. A canoe? Forget it. A kayak, maybe. BRRRRRR!!!!

Great skipper and nice boat handling skills, and I bet the guy filming been a few days at sea too...
Terrific!!!
Impresionante, parece que ese barco volara jajaj. me gustaría ver en vivo una mar con esas olas.
Impressive how these ships dont get ripped apart by the massive forces of nature! And credz to the crew on these ships who has ballz of steel!
OK.the man driving this thing is a God!!!!!

Good swimming weather!

I like how this guy records so nice in the sea.

My bloody respects for you sailors!
Will it blend?
@lupardi No I had a pretty good position so I could have both hands on camera.
Spettacolare !!!

whats the name of that ship?
amazing!
Wonderful Iceland, Pure Iceland! only for the toughest people and those who dare to clot fate! Welcome to Iceland!
