Instructor Alex made the excursion fun and exciting for us as he rotated us 3 students through the basic positions (front sail, main sail, and rudder). Alex taught us a base line understanding of how to sail with humor and calm- I would do this class again if I had the time here. Sailing with a view of Porto and Gaia was a lifetime experience.

I took a couple private sailing lessons and I had an incredible time. I could not have asked for a better experience as a novice sailor. The boat was easy to manage and very exciting. Special thanks goes to Gonçalo, who is very professional, has a great knowledge of sailing and enjoys teaching as well. I highly recommend them and I will certainly return to BBDouro next time!

We did a private sailing lesson with Diogo and we were not disappointed. What a fantastic instructor and sailor he is. Experience and knowledge is what he brings to the table and puts both to full use. We will be talking about this 2.5 hours for a long time. Made us even think we’re going to get a boat and sail off the US east coast. Thank you

Amazing experience! We had the chance to sail in the middle of the old city center and also on the natural reserve area of the river and we finished by going out in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean which was incredible!! Highly recommended, great way to see the city.

I absolutely love this experience! Although it was not a windy day, i have chosen to sightseeing for the pleasure to be on Douro river. But, after one hour, the wind picked up and we actually had the chance to put the sail up and do some maneuvers. The skipper was a warm guide and I have learned a lot. Highly recommend if you are in Porto and passionate about sailing.

Wow, this was such a brilliant experience. Our captain taught us a lot and answered all the questions we had (a lot). Great friendly staff. It was truly amazing getting to sail in a beautiful area while learning the ropes.

Me and my family had an amazing sailing lesson! I have sailed before but never had such a great day sailing. The location is very beautiful and the conditions are very suited to begginers and advanced sailors as well. The boats are very high quality and super fun! Our instructor was very experienced and friendly. I will definetely do another sailing lesson on my next trip to Porto!!
