"You could just see them jumping like, 20 feet in the air, and everybody on the boat just started pointing and I’m like, ‘What is everybody looking at?’" Erica Sackrison told local news media. 

Sackrison, who captured the footage, operates Gone Whale Watching. 

"Almost feels like they were doing Olympic-style jumps, like they were just all trying to be like Simone Biles and just touch the sky and come down. It was awesome," she added. 

"You know, when these things are going higher than the wheelhouse … it’s spectacular," Sackrison said. 

The company regularly posts similar encounters to its Instagram page.
