I rode one 20 years ago to islands off the coast of Greece. One of the trips was rough though due to choppy seas. I recall seatbelts were required and barf bags were utilized by a few passengers.

At sea, sure, but on a large river like the Danube it'extremely smooth, hardly any wave :)

Every hit the wake from a larger boat? That a river is generally flat doesn't mean that you won't occasionally hit a freak wave.

Regardless of type of boat, waves need to be considered and managed. Most of the time speed needs to be reduced. The same for Candela, when a wave is to high it works to operate just like a regular boat.
