The two whales get very close to the Lil Nib fishing boat, swimming around and under the boat, and then breaching beside it.
The delighted watchers on board, including a dog, can hardly believe their eyes as the whales are so close they can see the barnacles clinging to their bodies.
The video lasts about five minutes.
