A great white has captured on camera launching a terrifying attack on a small boat right in the middle of an ocean as fishermen watched with fear.
A terrifying video has captured the moment a shark launched a vicious attack on a tiny boat full of frightened fishermen.
The men were trying to catch fish at a popular live bait spot close to Frenchman Island in New Zealand on February 20 when they spotted the great white shark .
In the footage, the shark approaches the boat as the men shout in horror.
After circling the vessel for several minutes, the great white then attempts to tear off the motor before aggressively hitting its nose against the side of the boat.
Thankfully for the fishermen, the shark eventually got bored of the assault on the boat and swam off without leaving too much damage.
