It’s ridiculous to watch two enormous sea lions “borrow” someone’s boat.

Everyone loves a day out on the water, especially these two sea lions who were seen highjacking a yacht. The huge mammals were spotted riding onboard a boat off the coast of Washington by Joshua Phillips who was riding aboard a neighboring boat. It looks like the huge aquatic mammals decided to borrow somebody’s boat to rest their flippers after a swim. The only problem is the boat wasn’t designed to hold such large travelers.

Former professional soccer player Joshua Phillips was enjoying a boat ride when he took out his phone to record something unusual. A couple of huge sea lions majestically sailing around as well. “The vessel looked a little off, and we got closer and closer and realized there were two massive animals on board,” Phillips told The Seattle Times. Phillips took the video in Eld Inlet near Olympia in Washington, United States.

There were reports of a third sea lion trying to join his buddies, but apparently they turned him away. You know the saying, if two huge sea lions are dangling their flippers on a tiny boat that looks like it’s gonna sink any second, three’s a crowd. Image credits: fishingjosh

Though it’s unclear who owns the vessel, or how long the pair hung out there, this unusual sighting does put these animals’ size into a new perspective. Sea lions can tip the scales at a whopping 2,500 pounds and reach lengths of 11 feet — a fun fact to float your boat, or in this case, nearly sink it.

It is still unclear who owns the vessel or how long the pair was using it for their amusement. However, it’s obvious they nearly sunk it. According to The Marine Mamma Center, these sea lions may grow to 11 feet (3.25 m) in length and weigh almost 2,500 pounds (1120 kg). Image credits: fishingjosh

Joshua was in awe and disbelief at the sight he was seeing, and thankfully for us, captured the whole thing on video:
