Is it safe to go into the water off Perth? This video would suggest it might not be.

Video has surfaced showing the incredible moment a Great White Shark approached a small boat off Carnac Island, a few miles off the coast of Perth.

In the video, the huge Great White moves close to the boat and takes a chunk off a motor propellor. The shark harassed the boat repeatedly for several minutes.

Perth Fisherman Mark Peacock captured the footage on his smartphone and gave the video to Nine News Perth.

“When it bit the boat I was a bit scared but when it actually came up and rammed the boat with the nose like it was actually going to bite it, yeah I got a bit nervous,” Mark Peacock told Nine News.

Peacock said the shark continued to harass his boat even as he pulled anchor and moved away.

“I’d had a couple of cans (of beer) in the boat and I thought I might just have one to calm down,” he said.

“Then he turned up and started circling the boat again, acting quite aggressive,” he said.
