A great white shark (Carcharodon carcharias) feeds on a grey seal off the south tip of Monomoy Island, Chatham, MA on August 22, 2012. Shark was easily 15' long and was previously tagged by Dr. Greg Skomal of the Massachusetts Division of Marine Fisheries.

    Imagine coming from a long line of seals that probably weren't eaten by sharks, only to end up being the failson (or daughter) that was eaten by one. (All because he or she wanted to drop out of college to pursue a music career)

    All of the years growing up there through the 1960s I believe we only spotted one Great White going out of Pleasent Bay, when the Perfect Storm blew through the dune line at the Chatham CG Station, then the seals moved in and so did the sharks.

    It was a rare opportunity to see such a magnificent creature up close. We did try to keep our distance though and were concerned about the risks you noted. Therefore, I had my family stay up on the flybridge of the vessel and out of harms way. Great view up there as well!

    Wow, how fortunate was that for you and your family/friends to witness! We went out last summer, this time we towed the boat all the way to Chatham just so we can get a glimpse of these impressive creatures but all we saw were quite a few seal colonies (and they were all sunning on land lol) and all the transmitting buoys they have set up now as they have quite a few sharks tagged and they're researching their movements and traveling and whatever else. There was a few of those set up here and there but not a single shark. Oh well. It's one of those things where you just gotta be at the right place at the right time.

    A white shark is not going to go out of his way to jump onto a boat. They are drawn to humans in the water because they look like marine mammals or darting fish (the flash of white from a swimmers hands or feet). If a shark was to jump onto a boat, it most likely happens because the boat is too close and it is attacking its prey (seal, fish, whale). I don't think they went out knowing a white shark was attacking, they (including the daughter) were most likely there already.

    aemptypage2 LOL! Be quiet and don't be so egomaniacal to the point where you're gonna tell this individual who took this great footage and had his family with him on the boat whom you don't know at all and call him irresponsible with his kids! The nerve of people like you. Know-it-alls is what you're called and in fact you know nothing based on that stupid, ill-founded assumption you made with hardly enough evidence of someone you don't even know! My gosh. Get a life. And to the author of this video, great job and thank you for bringing such a great moment for us to enjoy. I could only dream of having my family on my boat to experience such a thing. We tried, this summer as I trailered my boat from the North Shore all the way to Truro so we can get her in the water and get a spot like that. What calm waters, too. But we hit a brick wall with nothing. Next year we'll try to get closer to Chatham since that seems to be the hotspot. Cheers.

    That has got to be the most stupid comment out of this whole thread!! Now if you had said the shark was going to come up on the beach and chase you with a club, that might have been more realistic, but to say jump in the boat and "pounce" on anyone is just really showing your total lack of intelligence. You should go back to your video games where everything is real.
