Vision of the rescue shows four males holding on to the sides of the sinking boat, before they begin to leap into the water and swim towards the ferry.

It’s understood the group were on their way back from Rottnest Island when a large wave caused their boat to overturn.

They were stuck in the water for around 45 minutes before they were spotted by the skipper of the ferry service.

No one was injured.
