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!”

A highlight of our trip — breathtaking views of the bridges at sunset

“This was a highlight of our trip. We boarded a 10-person intimate sailboat, which offered breathtaking views of the bridges at sunset and the ocean. The hospitality was exceptional, with delicious drinks, a clean bathroom if needed, and blankets to keep us warm. Our group even joined a stranger and left as friends. Patricia and Rui were wonderful hosts. Highly recommended!”

So polite, positive and informative — a great evening on the Douro

“The captain and crew were so polite, positive and informative on our cruise on the Douro River. Seeing the two cities, Porto and Gaia, and then the cruise to the Atlantic to see the sunset made for a great evening. The snacks and drinks were delicious and I enjoyed the trip immensely.”

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

“Wow just amazing on our last night. They’ve thought of everything. We had a lovely welcome drink at the front of the boat with options to purchase more if we wished. It was such a hot day so it was lovely to cool down but when the sun got lower and it felt a bit more chilly there were blankets provided. After a stunning sunset over calm water we were treated to a shot of port and some chocolate — perfect.”

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

“Could not recommend more highly! My family of four took a sunset sailing tour on the River with Rui and his partner. The experience was unforgettable and their hospitality made it so special. They thought of all the extra touches — cozy blankets when the wind picked up, beverage and treat tastings, information about what we were seeing. 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!”
