The animal was completely disfigured and discovered in Polkerris, near Cornwall, broadcast Kosova Preris.
It is estimated that the turtle is 100-year-old on the basis of measurements, which reveal it had a 40-foot perimeter and 2.36m long.
She was found by the 34-year-old James Mustoe when she was on a trip with the children and his friend Richard Pears.
Skin turtles are a rare event in Cornish waters and are classified by the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) as endangered.
They are known for the huge weight between 200 and 700kg and range from four to eight feet [1.2 to 1.5 m].
Skin turtles are the largest species of turtles in the world with an average life span of about 80 years.
They are the largest species of sea turtles and are also known for their migration route between the Atlantic and Pacific oceans.
Although their distribution is widespread, the number of skin turtles has seriously declined over the past century as a result of intense egg collection and fishing jams.
Many subpopulations such as the Pacific and the Southwestern Atlantic are critically endangered.
