Feel at Home on Board, Your Intimate Douro & Atlantic Sail

Escape the crowded tourist routes and discover Porto from a perspective few get to experience. This exclusive sailboat trip, around 2 hours by day, 2.5 hours at sunset, takes you from the vibrant Douro Marina through the historic Ribeira neighbourhood, past the iconic Luís I Bridge and into the open Atlantic Ocean, all while feeling like you're sailing with friends, not just a tour operator.

Limited to just 10 people, this intimate cruise offers the perfect blend of elegance, adventure, and genuine Portuguese hospitality. Our team welcomes you on board like family, making sure you feel completely at ease, whether you're an experienced sailor or setting foot on a sailboat for the first time.

Feel the transition from the calm river waters to the invigorating Atlantic breeze as you savour a premium Port Wine and capture unforgettable moments along Porto's stunning waterfront.

Shared or private, you choose. The easy way aboard is a shared seat in a small group, from €60 per person, and it still feels almost private: every sailing is kept small, so there's always room to spread out on deck, a quiet corner for two, and the full attention of the crew for everyone on board. Prefer the boat exclusively yours? You can book it private right here, or explore our dedicated Private Sailing Charter. Small numbers are the whole point, no crowds, no queues, never just another ticket.

A note on the route: this cruise is aboard our sailboat, so we sail down the Douro to the river mouth and out to the Atlantic for the sunset, not upriver under every bridge. To cruise beneath all of Porto’s bridges, choose our 10-guest yacht on the 6 Bridges tour.
