Usually, fishing boats are uncomfortable, but the Riviera was spacious and spotless. I loved the braai at sea as we spotted whales. It was a perfect, relaxing day.

Watching the sunset from the flybridge with a cold drink was magical. We saw dolphins and got to swim with the penguins. 10/10 experience!
