Additional Information

Travelers are given the liberty to decide their route. The conventional tour path initiating from Marina do Freixo towards the sea and back is available. During this trip, we’ll navigate under the six bridges linking Porto and Gaia, cruise by the Ribeira and Port Wine cellars, among several other sights. Also, there’s an alternative to move in the contrary direction, towards the dam to experience the natural panorama. This route tends to have lighter traffic and is generally more serene. Ideal for those interested in swimming. The option to personalize the tour and visit specific locations or engage in specific activities is also feasible.

Marina do Freixo
N108
Meet at the sitting area outside the Marina Bar. I'll meet you there 5 minutes before charter time.

Perfect way to see the Douro or Porto from the water - Ricardo was an excellent host, knowledgeable about the area, and the boat was comfortable and spacious for our group of three. We got served port and snacks as well, which was a nice touch, and could choose where we went. Next time I would book for 3 or 4 hours instead of 2, so we would have time to stop at a riverside restaurant, or take a picnic, and do some more swimming. Douro is stunning!

Brilliant and highly recommended boat trip. The very best!! - Absolutely fabulous sunset trip with Ricardo and his mother. Superb boat and the hospitality was great as was Ricardo’s knowledge of Porto and the Douro. Calm and serene floating paradise with wine and brilliant weather. A ‘must do’ when visiting Porto. Highly recommended and a big thank you to the captain and his able mate.

Business trip - The best way to combine a moment of relaxation with business. We asked to take a break and have lunch at a riverside restaurant. Great.
