Great experience! Very relaxing time on the boat with kind tour guides, plenty of space to spread out and enjoy the views. Highly recommend!

Our trip with Ricardo from Douro Captain was truly fantastic. Ricardo shared fascinating stories about Porto, its history, and its most famous sights. We were treated to a stunning sunset, although, unfortunately, we didn't spot any dolphins that evening. The Porto Tonico was also a delightfully refreshing drink. I thoroughly enjoyed the serene experience on the sailing boat, especially with the small group of just seven people. I highly recommend this tour.

Riardo and crew were very welcoming and took us on a lovely trip into Porto and then out to sea. We had a sail up on our return which was great fun. The crew were very helpful and pointed out all the places of interest. The Bavaria 42 was a lovely yacht and the drinks and cocktails served made it a special day. It was the highlight of my week in Porto. Highly recommended. Andre

A very relaxing and enjoyable way to see Porto from a different perspective. The crew were very kind and passionate about showing off their city in a unique way. The sunset was spectacular, we even saw dolphins! I highly reccomend this experience when visiting Porto.

We had a wonderful trip on the boat. The crew was very knowledgeable of the area and shared local recommendations. Beautiful way to spend an evening in Porto!

We absolutely loved our trip! Its a beautiful yacht and the captain was charming and very knowledgeable. The port was appreciated but the real beauty is, of course, in seeing the silhouettes of Portos quarters and feeling some gentle ocean waves beyond the breakers. One of the best experiences we've had in Porto. One note for future improvement: we'd much prefer silence to the music, especially the playlist of pop heavy covers. It was distracting and it seemed no guests on board really appreciated it.

This is a far better and more relaxed and personal and classier eay to see Porto Nd the bridges. Better value with the drink and guide and comfy deck. Do this instead of the old standard fare crowded fake tugs.

Incredible views, incredible captain and crew! We booked for 5PM, I would recommend timing it with the sunset for the best sunset views in the city. VERY relaxing and not touristic feeling. I planned this after a Tuk Tuk ride for my girlfriend and I. I wanted to relax after all the tourist pits. This was what we needed before returning to our hotel. As we were sailing on the Douro River, we saw how packed Ribeira was, I was so glad to be lounging on the boat instead of being drowned in the seas of fanny packs. Has a feeling of luxury, other couple we met on the boat that wasn’t a part of our group was cool. Also, our captain had great recommendations beyond the basics and was truly knowledgeable. Book it, you won’t regret it

Alberto and Pedro were charming and gave a very interesting commentary. The boat was comfortable and the port was delicious. We shall go again tomorrow.
