Lifelong memories aboard the Azimuth
“This was truly an experience that created lifelong memories. Rui and his crew did an outstanding job of bringing our family of inexperienced but enthusiastic sailors out to sea and back in their beautiful sailboat, the Azimuth. The sailing baptism was an excellent deal for a 3-hour private chartered sail for a family of 5, departing the Douro marina. The small touches made the difference — a sailing tutorial for the kids, seasickness glasses, well-curated music, and a glass of port wine. Look no further: why join the crowd of industrial tourism for a rushed river tour when you can set sail?”

Herrlicher Blick auf den Sonnenuntergang

Es gab einen leckeren Welcome Drink mit kleinen Snacks und später noch ein Schluck Portwein mit Schokolade. Die Stimmung war sehr angenehm und es lief entspannte Musik. Wir hatten einen herrlichen Blick auf den Sonnenuntergang und würden jederzeit wieder buchen :)”

Once in a lifetime

Blown away, and they operate like pros
“Our Portugal tour booking company booked this for us and we did not know what to expect. We were blown away by the experience we had with Rui and A’Patricia. Although they have recently stepped out on their own, they operate like they have had their business for years. Friendly, knowledgeable, courteous, and they try very hard to make the experience memorable. We would highly recommend Port Sailors for an unforgettable experience on the Douro in Porto/Vila Nova de Gaia.”

Sûrement le meilleur moment de mes vacances

Ein wunderbarer Trip, wie unter Freunden
“Es war ein wunderbarer Trip mit Rui und Patricia, den Bootsinhabern. Es war alles perfekt: nette Begrüßung, Sicherheitsunterweisung, nette Unterhaltung, Portwein, Schokolade, Knabbergebäck, 2 Stunden Fahrt auf dem Douro zu den Brücken und bis auf den Atlantik hinaus in den schönsten Sonnenuntergang hinein. Man hatte wirklich das Gefühl, unter Freunden zu sein!!! Vielen Dank nochmal an Euch beide!”
★★★★★
Immaculate hosts and a romantic sunset
“Rui and Patricia were immaculate hosts on their boat. Rui has a lovely manner, pleasant and reassuring. The cruise had a bit of information but was mostly romantic sunset which was perfect for us. The port and chocolate included is a couple of drinks of port and a bit of chocolate to complement the port, not the sort of tasting you might get at a winery, just a bit to add to the romantic sunset vibe. They do have some nice ports for purchase if you’d like a little extra. Lovely trip, recommended.”

Uma experiência verdadeiramente inesquecível
“A viagem de veleiro com a Port Sailors foi simplesmente fantástica! Desde o primeiro momento, tudo foi perfeito: o ambiente, a simpatia da equipa, a tranquilidade do mar e, claro, um Sunset de cortar a respiração. Ver o pôr do sol a bordo, com o mar como cenário e aquela sensação de liberdade, foi um daqueles momentos que ficam na memória. Uma experiência única, muito bem organizada e que recomendo sem hesitar. A Port Sailors não proporciona apenas uma viagem de veleiro, proporciona memórias! Sem dúvida, uma experiência a repetir!”
★★★★★
Immaculate sailboat, wine & charcuterie
“Went on a sunset Douro River experience with Rui and A’Patricia; what a great experience and such a warm and friendly couple. Their sailboat is in immaculate shape, the wine and charcuterie board were fantastic!! We were a group of 4 but the boat has ample room for 8 very comfortably. Absolutely the best experience we could have asked for and honestly we are a pretty critical group so that is really saying something! Highly recommend this experience for anyone in Porto!”
★★★★★
Un paseo al atardecer precioso y muy cuidado
“Una experiencia preciosa y totalmente recomendable. Hicimos un paseo de 2 horas al atardecer y todo estuvo genial. El barco estaba muy bien cuidado, el espacio para 8 personas era muy cómodo y la tripulación fue súper agradable. Durante el paseo: welcome drink con varios refrescos a elegir y carta propia por si quieres pedir algo más, mantas cuando empezó a refrescar, y un chupito + chocolate al final. Todo muy bien cuidado y pensado para disfrutar de la experiencia. Sin duda repetiríamos!”

A unique, unforgettable Solar Eclipse Tour

Watching the solar eclipse from the boat out on the Atlantic was such a unique and memorable experience. The atmosphere on board was relaxed and enjoyable, and staying out on the water for the sunset afterwards made the evening even more special. A really well-organized and unforgettable experience. We would definitely recommend Port Sailors!”

Sehr herzliche Gastgeber, ein besonderer Abend in Porto
“Patricia unf Rui sind sehr herzliche und sympathische Gastgeber! Sie schaffen es, jeden von 10 Gästen persönlich zu umsorgen, alle Fragen zu beantworten, Fotos zu machen und für das leibliche Wohl zu sorgen. Mein Mann und ich haben die 2,5 Stunden als Paar und auch als Teil der Gruppe sehr genossen! Nächstes Mal würde wir zu dem Portwein auch eine Käseplatte dazu buchen.. Wir empfehlen diesen Ausflug auf jeden Fall für einen besonderen Abend in Porto!”

A magical family sunset we will always remember
“I chose Port Sailors to celebrate my husband's birthday with our two children, and it was truly one of the highlights of our trip to Porto.

Everything exceeded our expectations: the beautiful sailing yacht, the delicious dinner, the kindness of the crew and the attention to every detail. Watching the sunset from the boat while enjoying a wonderful meal together was a magical experience that we will always remember. Thank you, Port Sailors, for creating such a precious family memory. I cannot recommend you highly enough!”
★★★★★
Fewer people, more private, excellent value
“The sunset boat sailing was perfect. I booked this one last minute for my birthday because i wanted one with less people and a more private experience. The hosts were so friendly and welcoming, gave us information about the area and the boat itself. The boat was extremely clean and felt new! What i liked most was the calm music, slow sailing (very smooth) & lovely drink/snack with a blanket when it got chilly. The hosts even took pictures for us and gave us an insta print to take home. When we got back, the hosts recommended a local fish restaurant which was AMAZING too, i cannot fault this entire experience & highly recommend you to choose this over the more crowded and less luxurious options... for the price it is excellent value!”

It was easily one of the highlights of our trip. Five stars all the way!”

An amazing sailing trip on the Douro and out to the sea
“We had an amazing sailing trip on the Douro River and out to the sea. The views were breathtaking, especially when we sailed past the river mouth into the open ocean when the sun was going down into the ocean. It was the perfect mix of calm river and a bit of waves at sea. The hosts (Rui and Patricia) were incredibly friendly and welcoming. They created a relaxed and fun atmosphere right away, were happy to take photos for us, and served delicious drinks on board. Everything felt personal and enjoyable. Highly recommended if you want to experience Porto from the water. Thank you for the wonderful afternoon!”

Wow, just amazing on our last night, they’ve thought of everything

My family of four took a sunset sailing tour on the River

The river cruise was intimate, peaceful, warm and a wonderful way to remember our time in Portugal. Bonus, very kid-friendly (kids age 9 and 11)! Extra Bonus, if you'd like, they take many photos of you / your party to remember!”
