What better way to cap off a good day of fishing off Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, than a face-to-face meeting with a large marine mammal?

These vacationers were heading back to the docks when a hungry sea lion hitched a ride on the slow-moving boat by climbing onto the swim platform.

There was apparently at least one baitfish left in the well, which the sea lion was glad to take off the boaters’ hands.

Once the food was gone, however, so was the sea lion.
