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..
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.
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 :))
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!
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.
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.
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.
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...

Vikings, the loves of my life. If I could I'd vote it twice with thumbs up. Say congratulations to your father.
That's got to be the best pirate I've ever seen.

My dad was in the Royal Navy at same time WW2. Destroyers Minesweepers etc. A tough lot.
it looks so beautiful and impressive! Those seaman are heros!
Wow. Great video. Can't believe how close they were to those rocks.

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
Beee-yootiful! And that rocky shoreline that looms up gives me shivers...
Brings a new meaning to "one step forward, 2 steps back"
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"

Amazing video. Thanks for posting.
Awesome video. Thanks for posting.
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
The heroes of Iceland!
I can just picture the crew in the cockpit just glued to the ceiling from that fall awesome 👌
After seeing this every piece of fish on my plate will be treated with awe & respect. YEEOOWW!!!
Looked a bit close to those rocks.

GET ME THE LUDES!
I’m not dying sober!

These guys are nuts. Better know what you're doing there. Respect from germany!!!

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.
I love this video.
Great filming, must have been one helluva ride!
Amazing footage. Thanks.
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.
OK.the man driving this thing is a God!!!!!

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.

To all Fisherman of the world, i hereby to express my greatest gratitude to you all....
that is some freaking dangerous job....
@xplorn Thanks.. Yes it´s just amazing that people can be browsing youtube just to find somebody to argue with..I just don´t get it.
These people, fishermen, are really heroic. You have to admire their bravery.
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!
great video
My bloody respects for you sailors!
Wow. The skipper of that ship has some nerve and skill.
Terrific!!!
@civicturbolive Here is why: My captain told the other captain that I was outside with the camera so added more speed;)
Wish I was onboard, what a thriller.
Spectacular....Would love to be on that vessel at that time..
amazing!
amazing!!
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!!!!
You have to admire thees people, amazing:-)
brilliant footage, looked like the ship was about to take off at one point!
wow....I flew pretty close to Iceland on my way to Europe back in 1988
Looks like fun. Dangerously fun.
Spettacolare !!!
Impresionante, parece que ese barco volara jajaj. me gustaría ver en vivo una mar con esas olas.
wow good video love you
wow...nice video!
Incredible!!..
belissimo!
@lupardi No I had a pretty good position so I could have both hands on camera.
That sea isn't so bad, you'll notice he's powering into it, which makes it more violent.

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.
Wow, nice driving.
Now if they could only make an amusement ride that resembled that!
Nature is amazing.
Good swimming weather!
0:17 best moment
How did the Vikings sail in this type of seas with open boats? It truly is amazing. They must have been some tough people.
that looks so fun
Wonderful Iceland, Pure Iceland! only for the toughest people and those who dare to clot fate! Welcome to Iceland!
Looks like fun.
Good stuff!
i want to thank these fishermen who put fish, crabs, shrimp and other seafood on my table.
I love how it's nearly tipping over but the boat with the cameraman has smooth sailing. lol
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.
Amazing wild sea
Spectacular footage. People on inland waters (much less land) get to see. Thanks CZcams and Etmackie.
