Today, in addition to the stylish Miami Vice-inspired Sunseeker, we also offer a 50-foot Cranchi with a flybridge — perfect for those seeking more space and comfort. The tour covers 20 km, starting at Marina do Freixo, passing under the 6 bridges and the iconic Ribeiras of Porto, all the way to the river’s mouth and back. During the tour, we serve local wine and a selection of cheeses and cured ham, as you enjoy the stunning views of this historic city.

Itinerary

120 min

The Douro River, in the city of Porto, offers an unforgettable view with its historic riverbanks, the Port wine cellars in Vila Nova de Gaia, and the iconic Luís I Bridge. It’s perfect for walking tours, boat rides, or simply enjoying the sunset in a unique and authentic setting.

Pass by

The most iconic bridge in Greater Porto. Arched bridge with road on the lower level and metro line on the upper level between Porto and Vila Nova de Gaia. This construction replaced the old suspension bridge that existed on the same site and was carried out through a project by the Belgian engineer Théophile Seyrig, who had previously collaborated with Gustave Eiffel in the construction of the D. Maria Pia railway bridge.

Pass by

Long road bridge from the 1990s connecting Vila Nova de Gaia and the center of Porto, with views over the Douro River. Of the bridges linking Porto to Vila Nova de Gaia, Ponte do Freixo is the one furthest upstream from the Douro river. It is, in fact, two bridges built in a portico side by side and 10 cm apart from each other.

Pass by

Ponte Infante Dom Henrique, also known as Ponte do Infante, is a road bridge that connects Vila Nova de Gaia to Porto, over the Douro River, in Portugal. Named in honor of Infante D. Henrique, born in Porto, it is the most recent and, according to many, the slenderest bridge linking Porto and Gaia. It was built to replace the upper deck of the Luís I Bridge.

Pass by

Ponte de São João is a railway infrastructure that transports the Northern Line over the Douro River, near the city of Porto, in Portugal. Built to replace the 100-year-old Ponte D. Maria Pia, it entered service on June 24, 1991.

Pass by

Ponte da Arrábida is an arched bridge over the Douro River. Since the 1930s, it was necessary to create alternative connections to the old bridges (D. Maria Pia and D. Luís bridges) in order to respond to the growing flow of road traffic. At the time of its construction in 1963, the bridge had the largest reinforced concrete arch of any bridge in the world.

Pass by

Ancient monastery from the 16th century, located on top of a hill and notable for its cloister and round church. The monastery is considered one of the most remarkable buildings in classical European architecture due to its exceptional architectural value and the unique character of its church and cloister, both circular and with the same dimension. The church was classified as a National Monument in 1910 and in 1996, together with the Historic Center of Porto and the Luís I Bridge, it became classified as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Pass by

Imposing arched railway bridge completed in 1877 and designed by the famous architect Gustave Eiffel. It is considered, together with the Viaduct of Garabit, as the greatest masterpieces executed by the engineer Gustave Eiffel. At the time of its inauguration, it was the bridge with the longest iron arch in the world.

Pass by

Cais de Gaia is a tourist area with terraces, restaurants and bars, located on the left bank of the Douro River, in Vila Nova de Gaia, opposite the historic area of ​​Porto, a UNESCO World Heritage Site in Portugal. For many centuries, a river port was located here, from which various goods were exported, with particular emphasis on Port wine.

Pass by

Ribeira is one of the oldest and most typical places in the city of Porto, it is part of the Historic Center of Porto, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Pass by

Garden overlooking Rio and the city of Porto, a very famous space in our city.

Fantastic trip along the Douro

This was a real highlight of our week in Porto. The trip lasted around 2 hours and the crew were so friendly, making it a really relaxing atmosphere. They also explained a little history behind each of the bridges. We enjoyed port, wine and a cheese / charcuterie platter. There were 4 of us and we had opted for a private cruise so had the boat to ourselves. Although it was not a cheap trip at £250, it was worth every penny and we would recommend this trip to anyone.

Kiwi Party in Porto

It was a fantastic experience with Thomas and Pedro. They were the best hosts. Very friendly and accommodating. Very professional and safety conscious. It was a party on the water. Drinks were flowing, great cheese board. We would definitely recommend this and probably do this again. Thank you so much.

Great experience, just make sure you know which boat you are getting

The boat on the picture and the actual boat we got were different. I thought I was getting a nicer (bigger boat) one but I got an older smaller boat. Apparently it was in the fine print. So just read the fine print. The manager was nice enough to come and explain, offered a refund, the staff were nice and tried to make it up to us, so in the end we had a great experience, I just expected the boat I saw on the picture.

Operator response

Hi Lukas. Thank you for your positive feedback regarding our team and the tour itself, but we need to clarify the situation regarding the boat, as we were transparent from the very beginning. The default and primary option shown on the platform is indeed our larger boat (the one in the main photo). In order to get the lower price that you paid, you had to actively select the second option in the system, which clearly states it is for the smaller boat. This is not a matter of "fine print," but rather a deliberate choice for the more economical rate. Unfortunately, the platform's limitations do not allow us to link different photos to each specific booking option, which is completely out of our control. As you correctly mentioned, I made it a point to come and speak with you personally before the tour started. I offered you a full and immediate refund if you did not wish to go ahead with the tour in the boat you booked, and I even presented the alternative of a larger boat from a partner (which you declined due to the cost). You decided to move forward with the trip, our crew did their absolute best, and as you stated, you ended up having a great experience. We are saddened to see this rating after doing everything possible to accommodate a situation that stemmed entirely from your own selection at the time of booking. We wish you the best in your future travels.

Great experience and beautiful way to see Porto.

The views are incredible, the boat was very nice and comfortable. Our host and captain were super friendly and entertaining. We had a great time and would happily do it again. Only suggestion would be a sign of some kind at the waiting area so people know they are waiting at the correct location.
