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 Discovery’s operator reported that two large waves disrupted his course and that he lost propulsion once the vessel went aground,” the Coast Guard said. “Sector Honolulu command center watchstanders received a report at 8:25 a.m. Saturday that the Discovery ran aground approximately 60 feet outside Kewalo Basin Harbor. The vessel’s captain and one crew member were aboard.”

“Basically, the boat was surfing like a giant surfboard,” Ramon Brockington, who had been filming body surfers at the time of the incident, said, according to The Associated Press. “I’ve never seen a boat of that size and caliber being picked up like a toy and basically launched across the beach.”

“The two experienced crewmembers aboard the shuttle boat were not injured,” the company said. “There has been no leaking of fuel or oil from the vessel. We are working closely with all government regulatory agencies to have the shuttle boat safely removed from where it was grounded, towed back to its pier location, and thoroughly inspected before it is returned to service.”

Fox News Digital reached out to Atlantis Adventures for further comment.

Pacific Environmental Corporation “removed 2,275 gallons of diesel fuel and 36 gallons of hydraulic oil” as well and “eight marine batteries,” according to the Coast Guard. 

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