Enjoy a luxury experience on the Douro River aboard an elegant 35-foot yacht, accompanied by an experienced local skipper. Navigate smoothly across the river while tasting a selection of Portuguese regional flavors and creating unforgettable moments. Ideal for couples, families or private groups up to 10 people, this experience offers comfort, privacy and tranquility, away from crowds. The environment on board is elegant and relaxed, perfect for celebrations, special occasions or simply to enjoy the port with style. The sailing is calm and carefully planned, with breaks to admire the views of Porto and Gaia, take photos and enjoy the landscape. More than a cruise, this is an exclusive and sophisticated way to experience the Douro and know the port from the water.

Continuing towards the Atlantic, we will enjoy the Cabedelo Nature Reserve, the romantic old Foz and the magnificent view of the Douro Bar topped by its emblematic lighthouse. This scenery is even more stunning at sunset, a moment that we especially recommend.

We were badly let down. Our trip, which had been booked over a month earlier to mark a special birthday, was cancelled the day before we were due to have the trip. We received only a generic text with no personal apology or reason given.
We had an incredible experience on our private sunset boat cruise in Porto. Captain Paulo and his crew, Henrique, welcomed us with warm smiles and immediately made us feel at home. Both were engaging, knowledgeable, and a genuine pleasure to spend time with. The cruise itself was beautiful, with stunning views of Porto at sunset, and the thoughtful touches made it even more special. The wine and snacks provided were a lovely addition and made the experience feel relaxed and indulgent. One of the highlights was Paulo’s recommendation for dinner after the cruise—Sempre Assar—which turned out to be one of the best seafood meals we had during our trip. This experience was seamless, memorable, and truly one of the highlights of our time in Porto. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a special and personalized way to enjoy the city.
Amazing tour! Paulo and his wife KiKi were so nice. They made our tour so enjoyable. Definitely worth it to do a private cruise. Learned so much about Douro.
This was an exceptional private experience for my family of 4. Paolo, the boat captain and his first mate Christina did an outstanding job of making my family comfortable. The food and drinks were fantastic and high quality, and the conversation was engaging and interesting. Highly recommend this experience and this crew.
What an incredible way to see the city, going down the Douro on this beautiful yacht. The owner and his daughter were the perfect guides. They were so professional and gave us the best experience. I would do it again and would highly recommend to anyone.
A great experience. Our niece booked this tour for 8 of us in our group. A family owned business with a friendly crew. We had great food and drinks while touring the Rio Douro on this beautiful yacht. Service was on point. Very thoughtful in providing a cake in honour of my father in law’s birthday. A perfect memory for a lifetime! Thank you!
What an incredible experience! This yacht trip was easily the highlight of our family's trip. The views were absolutely stunning, and it was such a beautiful and unique way to see the city from the water. The crew was fantastic—friendly, knowledgeable, and always happy to answer our questions about the landmarks, buildings, and sights along the way. Their attention to detail and excellent service made the experience even more enjoyable. The food provided was surprisingly delicious and a perfect addition to the trip. Everything was thoughtfully planned and executed. 10/10 service and a 10/10 experience from start to finish. We would absolutely recommend this to anyone visiting the area and would do it again in a heartbeat! Thank you for helping create such a memorable family experience.
Our private yacht cruise on the Douro River for my grandfather’s birthday was truly the highlight of our trip to Porto. The entire team went above and beyond to make our family feel welcome and celebrated. We loved learning about the surrounding area, and the food and wine were exceptional. Most of all, the hospitality and kindness shown was outstanding and made the experience incredibly special. We couldn’t recommend this experience more highly and would love to do it again someday!
