About
Hi, my name is Pedro, since I was very young, almost forty years old, I've been involved in water sports and I love sailing, it's a passion that has been in my family for a long time! Nothing better and that fulfills me more than being able to work in this area and apply all my knowledge and at the same time be able to provide my guests with one of the most beautiful walks along the banks of our city, full of history and immense architectural wealth!

Of the many times I was in Porto, I always thought about having this experience and had never had a chance. This time, I took the girls and we went in family, which made the experience more valuable. We ⁇ the sympathy with which we were welcomed and the trip. To repeat.

Lovely crew and beautiful scenery. Perfect ending to a warm day and great opportunity to get away from the crowds. We were served a glass of Port wine and received a bowl of peanuts, chips and some tiny blocks of cheese and dry sausages. A bit disappointing as the description talks about “tapas” being served;) After the glass of Port we were offered to buy a bottle of white wine.

Small warning : Beware the boat is moored a little away from the main tourist area.

The boat was very comfortable and the captain and guide were wonderful. The guide gave us a lot of information about the river and surrounding area. The wine and tapas were delicious. I highly recommend this tour

This trip featured a small group and a large, spacious sailboat with comfortable mats on deck for lounging. Guides were very friendly. The boat was clean with good facilities onboard.
The trip seemed brief and the “tapas” were just a bowl of potato chips, so don’t arrive hungry.
Overall a relaxing way to see Porto from the river. I would do it again.

We had a lovely relaxing cruise up and down the river on a well maintained yaucht. There were only three of us on the trip, we had good conversation over a glass of port and some nibbles.

Our hosts were friendly and very helpful. I would recommend based on our experience.

A really relaxing 2 hour trip on a yacht along the Douro river. Greeted by a lovely crew - Pilot Jose was friendly and informative. We went twice as we enjoyed it so much and both Alfonso and Miguel were charming. We were served port and nibbles. Get an Uber or taxi there as it’s a little tricky to find.

This trip was disappointing. The departure point is not in Porto but in Gaia I hadn’t realised at the time of booking was on the other side of the river so we had to take an Uber to get to it. It was I initially advertised as boat trip with tapas and wine, that’s what I thought I was getting when I booked. It later changed to wine and snacks. The snacks consisted of a small ball of crisps and nuts and such - nothing like the tapas I initially hoped for. The wine was free flowing so I have no complaints about that. There was very little information or commentary shared about Porto or sights from the river. The boat was nice, the weather was pleasant, it was more intimate than other boat trips so we got to chat with other couples on the trip who were lovely. But for me and my partner, im sorry to say, the trip itself was very average.

The trip along the Douro River and out to the Atlantic was awesome. Miguel and team were excellent. Miguel did a great job explaining what we were sailing past and answering our questions about the city.

My only suggestions, not sure I would say Wine & Tapas included… we had two port tastings and a bowl of chips & nuts…

Would do it again but next time bringing my own wine
