A morning on the water, a memory for a lifetime.
Senior citizens, residents of the Aaji Care Centre near Old Goa, aged between 65 and 80, set sail with Drishti Marine on a serene river cruise from Ribandar to the Cumbarjua Canal.
From the moment they stepped on board, laughter echoed, and their eyes lit up with childlike wonder. With binoculars in hand, they scanned the lush mangroves for migratory birds and crocodiles, guided by curiosity and calm. Under the watchful care of Drishti Marine lifesavers and an onboard medical professional, the cruise was both safe and special.

Thank you to the wonderful residents of Aaji Care Centre for joining us and reminding us that the sea has something to offer for every generation.
