Of course they are sentient. Lots of animals are sentient.

Are there any documented cases of Orcas killing humans swimming or surfing in the ocean?
Wikipedia: Killer whales (or orcas) are powerful predators capable of killing prey much larger than humans, such as leopard seals and great white sharks. They have also been recorded preying on usually terrestrial species such as moose swimming between islands. However, wild orcas are not considered a real threat to humans, as there are few documented cases of wild orcas attacking people and no fatal encounters. In captivity, however, there have been several non-fatal and fatal attacks on humans since the 1970s. Experts are divided as to whether the injuries and deaths were accidental or deliberate attempts to cause harm.
ETA: I'm unsure why though. I understand humans don't often find themselves in the water with one...but you think it would have happened ONCE by now.

Love to watch orcas hunt. They command huge stretches of ocean. Ive seen a pod kill a minke whale.
Someone needs to alert the Sea Shepherd!

there's a reason they're called killer whales

She said the whales may have started targeting great whites because their other food sources were disappearing as a result of pollution or climate change
...or colonialism.

The shark’s fatty liver can weight more than 60kg and is rich in organic chemicals that make it a perfect food source for killer whales. Alison Towner, a biologist from the Dyer Island Conservation Trust, said: “They work together and are very co-ordinated. "Two orcas take a pectoral fin in their mouth and pull open a shark together to extract the liver.”
With a side of fava beans and a nice chianti?
