A 75-foot boat ran aground in Hawaii on Saturday, according to a U.S. Coast Guard press release.

Video footage shows the vessel, a passenger boat known as The Discovery, appearing to surf on a wave.

“The captain of the Discovery reported that two substantial waves threw his course off, causing him to lose propulsion as the vessel became grounded,” stated the Coast Guard. “At 8:25 a.m. on Saturday, the watchstander’s team at the Sector Honolulu command center was informed that the Discovery had run aground about 60 feet outside Kewalo Basin Harbor. At the time, the vessel’s captain and a crew member were on board.”

“Essentially, the boat was acting like an enormous surfboard,” remarked Ramon Brockington, who was filming body surfers at the moment of the incident, as per The Associated Press. “I’ve never witnessed a vessel of that size and caliber being lifted like a toy and effectively hurled across the beach.”

“There were no injuries to the two seasoned crew members aboard the shuttle boat,” the company announced. “No fuel or oil has leaked from the vessel. We are in close coordination with all relevant government agencies to ensure the shuttle boat is safely removed from its grounding site, towed back to its pier location, and meticulously inspected before being returned to service.”

The Coast Guard noted that Pacific Environmental Corporation extracted “2,275 gallons of diesel fuel and 36 gallons of hydraulic oil” alongside “eight marine batteries.”

“No pollution or sheening has been reported,” they added.
