It happened on the River Thames in west London, near Hammersmith Bridge.
But luckily Freddie, 25, saw the funny side, as reported by What’s The Jam.
The DJ and founder of the sonogrove music label said: “A police boat went by at speed and I took out my phone camera.
“Suddenly, a much bigger, heavier, £1.8m fireboat emerged, at speed, and I knew the wave would be much bigger.
“As the wave hit me, it threw me off my feet and a large number of belongings smashed to the floor.

“I suit being on the water – I love the natural world, and it’s amazing to be so close to it.
“It’s a very creative environment and I’m able to make a lot of music on the boat.
“I’m thinking of making a music beat out of samples from the video.
“It was alarming at the time.”
Some of the clip’s viewers were not amused.
One person said: “Why isn’t your stuff a bit more secure?
“You’re living on a vessel that moves so easily.
“Plus you seem to be anchored in an active waterway.”

“If you want this to not happen then either secure your vessel or move to a protected anchorage.”
Another viewer added: “Secure your boat.. it’s not their fault if stuff is loose.”
