It looks more like a seal to me.

Fantastic! Nice to see that beautiful blue and that wild creature in present day. He/she looks specially like posing for you!
I think you have a friend somewhere in Nordzee!

Well, according to my good friend who took this picture (thanks C!) while sailing in the Noordzee for her work has a biologist, this is not a shark but a Sunfish (ie Mola Mola). My mistake :-)
You can find more information here:

Apparently these fishes are regular visitors of the Atlantic, and Dutch and English coasts.
They like to travel alone, and sometimes are mistaken by sharks...
It is a nice fish, after all! :-)
It looks HUGE! And the foto is very pretty, I should go out more often... :)
