Full description

Away from the busy city, but close to several monuments and landmarks, you'll have the opportunity to relax onboard a sailboat/catamaran (with capacity for 12 or 18 people) while enjoying a glass of port wine.

Departing from Douro Marina, we will go along Douro River, whilst visiting the banks of Porto and Gaia.
Although we may be far from the city center, you can see some places of interest: churches decorated with tiles, domes of the cathedrals and the palm trees from Crystal Palace gardens.
In the riverside area, where the breeze and waves calm down, it is the perfect time to photograph the D. Luiz I Bridge, the rabelo boats and Serra do Pilar.

Heading towards the mouth of the river, you will feel the freshness of the Atlantic, while enjoying a glass of Port Wine, with Foz do Douro as a backdrop. In this area, be sure to catch a glimpse of the Nature Reserve and the Passenger Terminal.
Above all, take advantage of these two hours to relax and enjoy the best that Porto has to offer!

Note: Customers are distributed among boats on a per-order basis, and it is not possible to specify any preference at the time of booking. We will not divide groups.

Had a brilliant time! The boat was beautiful and the staff were great. I would say that because our tour was full, the group size felt a too big to be honest - as we all wanted to sit outside so felt slightly cramped onto the benches. But the tour itself was great and is very well worth doing to see beautiful views!
