About the boats

The boats have a very special, historical design. The oldest of them, "Darling" is hundred years old, whereas the other three — "Maria", "Rebeka" and "Laima" — have been built as its replicas. Their special design and their slow pace in the waters of Riga Canal will allow you to get to know the city from another perspective.
