Lucky speedboat passengers caught a glimpse of a Minke whale off the coast of Scarborough this week.

A Minke whale was caught on camera by local man Rudi Barman, as he took passengers out on a vessel from Scarborough Speedboat Rides.

With gasps of amazement, the lucky passengers got to watch as the Minke whale fed, with its identifiable sickle-shaped fin coming out of the water.

Rudi Barman, who submitted the fantastic video footage, said: “We normally see Minke whales a little later in the year, around August and September for around one or two days at a time, so seeing one so early was a treat.
