Nice relaxing boat ride up the Duoro River that allowed great views of the town of Porto. Also went out in the Atlantic briefly to see coast. Staff were attentive and very friendly. There is no narration of what you’re seeing but still worth it.

The Captain and Junior provided a great sail despite less than stellar weather. I would do it again.

Erin_H

Amazing sailing cruise with Miguel and Maria my family loved it! Couldn’t recommend it enough 10 stars from me. Lovely cruise along the Douro and the perfect weather.

KAREN_B

The boat was lovely and the two crew were very friendly and informative. There were 8 people in total on our 11am cruise and despite the miserable weather they were very accommodating. They offered blankets and even hot drinks. We looked like we had a much better time than the people squashed into the 30 min bridge cruises. A little out of town but we easily walked there along the river in approx an hour and got an Uber back. Worthwhile making the effort to do this. I would thoroughly recommend this cruise.

Excellent small-group tour. Our captain and guide did an outstanding job introducing Porto and its wonderful sites to us. The trip to the river where it meets the Atlantic was well worth it.

Kelly_M

This was a great way to see the city. Two peaceful hours away from the hustle and bustle. Great crew that shared info about the sites. Even got a chance to sail out to the Atlantic a little bit. Was worth the price of admission.
