To the river mouth
A little more horizon with every turn.
Down the Daugava through Riga’s working port to the Mangaļsala and Daugavgrīva breakwaters, where the river meets the Gulf of Riga.

Beyond Andrejosta, the port takes over: quays, Kundziņsala’s cranes and the shipping channel. It is a different side of Riga from the Old Town waterfront.
We continue past Vecmīlgrāvis towards the river mouth. The Mangaļsala breakwater lies on one side, Daugavgrīva on the other, with the gulf opening ahead.
If wind and waves allow, the captain may continue beyond the breakwaters. On the return, there is another chance to take in the port – this time from the other direction.
