'Holy f**k,' the man filming exclaimed, as water was seen beginning to rapidly gush in through the houseboat's kitchen.

'Quick, quick, quick. It's actually about to go under,' said the third friend.

They then frantically pulled their tinny toward them with a rope so they could disembark the sinking boat.

'Quick, get on the boat,' one of the men said.

All three men managed to jump back into their tinny as almost half the houseboat became submerged underwater.

The houseboat begun to rapidly take on more water as the men steered their tinny away from the scene.

'We are investigating the matter jointly with police,' Maritime Safety Queensland general manager Angus Mitchell said.
