A white speedboat with a wooden stern is on the right side of the frame, moving away from the viewer and leaving a significant wake. There are two people visible in the speedboat. To the left, a long, flat-bottomed barge is moving towards the viewer, also creating a wake. The barge is blue and white with some colorful graphics on its side. Both vessels are in a narrow body of water that appears to be a canal. Trees line the left bank of the canal, and buildings and a bridge can be seen in the background on the right bank. The sky is overcast.
