Porto as few travelers ever see it from the water, where the city looks its best. Our spacious sailboat features a full onboard bathroom, a Bluetooth sound system, and a bar ready to serve you throughout the journey. You'll share the boat with a small group of fellow travelers, glide along the Douro past the Dom Luís I Bridge, the historic Ribeira and the famous Port wine cellars of Vila Nova de Gaia, and finish with a toast of Tawny Port Wine. The atmosphere onboard is relaxed and refined, perfect for couples, families, or small groups of friends looking to disconnect, soak in every moment, and take home a memory that lasts.
Porto : Sailing to the Pôr-do-Sol with Porto Wine & Chocolate lasts about 2 hours.

Lovely boat trip on the Douro in a small group (only 8 people) with a sunset...
I love the experience, it was very lovely , the reception was great and every one was very frindley. It is an experience to repeat.
Thank you so much. A warm welcome aboard is something we care about deeply, so it means a lot to hear that the reception and the crew made you feel at home. The Douro at sunset does the rest. We'll be waiting for you next time you're in Porto, the second sail is always even better than the first. Fair winds, Rui & Patrícia
I highly recommend the experience, it was a memorable sunset, the guides are wonderful, they accompany the trip throughout in several languages. It far exceeded expectations, it was a unique moment of contact with the city, the river, and nature.
Muito obrigado pela sua review. O contacto com a cidade, o rio e a natureza é precisamente o que procuramos oferecer a bordo, sem pressa e ver o Porto e Gaia de um ângulo que só se tem a partir da água. Fica o convite para uma próxima saída no veleiro, já com a luz de outra estação. Bons ventos, Rui & Patrícia
I had an absolutely wonderful experience watching the sunset from a boat, and I couldn’t recommend it more! Seeing the city from the water offers a completely different and truly breathtaking perspective. The boat was in excellent condition, comfortable and very well maintained, making the whole experience even more enjoyable. The owners were incredibly attentive and professional. Safety was clearly their priority throughout the trip, while they were always available to offer recommendations, answer questions, and share interesting information and explanations about the city. And the sunset itself was simply spectacular! 🌅 The bar service was also of an excellent standard, with a great selection and high-quality service. Without a doubt, for anyone visiting the city, this is one of the best choices you can make. A beautiful experience, excellent service, and unforgettable views — absolutely worth it! ✨
Thank you for such a generous review, reading it was a real pleasure. You picked up on the two things we work hardest at and that guests rarely mention: the condition of the boat and safety. A well-kept sailboat and a crew that keeps an eye on everything are what let everyone else relax completely and simply watch Porto go by. Seeing the city from the water really is a different city. We'd love to show it to you again, you will be always welcome. Fair winds, Rui & Patrícia
Excellent! ⛵️ Super nice crew and a differentiated service, with welcome drink, chocolate, and Port wine. 🍷🍫 And we even got to see the sailboat with the sail up — it was the only one! Five-star experience, no doubt! ⭐️
Muito obrigado pela sua review, ela descreve exactamente no que nos distingue: no veleiro faz-se parte do percurso à vela sempre que as condições permitem. Não é um detalhe decorativo, é a diferença entre andar de barco e navegar e é por isso que insistimos em abrir a vela em praticamente todas as viagens. O cálice de vinho do Porto harmonizado com o chocolate de uma mestre chocolateira da região são a nossa forma de brindar ao pôr do sol. Esperamos por si numa próxima maré ;) Bons ventos, Rui & Patrícia
It was a beautiful and incredibly peaceful trip along the Douro River, with the most lovely ending: watching the sunset with my fiancé. I’m from Porto, yet seeing Porto and Gaia this way was a completely different experience! I highly recommend setting aside an evening in Porto for this unforgettable experience!
Thank you so much for this review, and congratulations to you both! Hearing it from someone who knows Porto well means a lot, because seeing your own city from the water really is a different experience. We're so glad we could be part of such a special evening. Wishing you and your fiancé all the best, and you're always welcome back aboard! Rui & Patricia The Port Sailors crew
It was a unique experience and a beautiful one. We came as a couple that never had been on a boat before and we leave this experience eager to do this again very soon! Rui and Adriana were amazing hosts, we can't recommend them enough!
Thank you so much! Being someone's first time on a boat is always a little bit of a privilege, so knowing you left wanting to do it again is the best compliment we could ask for. It was a pleasure having you both aboard. Come back and see us soon! Rui and Adriana, Port Sailors
10/10 experience. The crew was super nice and accommodating & the trip itself was beautiful. Would 100% recommend booking with them :)
Thank you so much, a 10/10 is quite the compliment! It was a pleasure having you aboard, and we're delighted the river showed off for you. Come sail with us again anytime :) Rui & Adriana, The Port Sailors crew
Amazing experience, thank you so much to this amazing crew! Once in a lifetime experience, super accommodating! 10/10 would recommend.
Thank you so much for these kind words! Making sure everyone feels at ease aboard is what we care about most, so this really means a lot to the whole crew. We're thrilled the experience was such a memorable one. You're always welcome back on the water with us! Rui & Patricia, The Port Sailors crew
Very beautiful evening tour into the sunset. Started on time, warm welcome by the owners. Lots of information about the country and its people and about the buildings on the right and left. Drinks and chocolate as described. Actually also including setting sail. Definitely recommended. For us, a decelerated start to the vacation.
Vielen Dank für diese schöne Rückmeldung! Dass die Segel wirklich gesetzt werden, ist uns besonders wichtig, denn genau das macht den Unterschied zu einer normalen Bootsfahrt aus. Und wenn die Tour für Sie ein entschleunigter Start in den Urlaub war, dann haben wir alles richtig gemacht. Wir würden uns freuen, Sie wieder an Bord begrüßen zu dürfen! Rui & PAtricia Ihre Crew von Port Sailors
