Tourists were left terrified after a freak wave crashed into their ferry – causing the deck to become flooded as people stood on tables to escape the water.
Passengers were seen watching as the rogue wave approached the boat just moments after it had left Orzola in Lanzarote on Sunday as it headed for the island of La Graciosa.
The huge wave then crashed into the vessel, leaving the floor swamped in water as tourists ran for safety. Children were seen crying as adults climbed on to tables to escape the flooded floor, with debris seen floating amidst the chaos.
Despite the magnitude of the wave, which towered as high as one of the ferry’s decks, the vessel was able to continue on its journey.
Local media reported that the vessel managed to make it to its destination.
