Itinerary
Let yourself be drawn in by the timeless charm of an unforgettable experience aboard an elegant sailboat on the Douro River. You'll discover Porto from a privileged perspective — its riverbanks, the monuments that tell centuries of history, and the famous wine cellars that made this region world-renowned. Our sailboat stands out for its elegance, generous space, and welcoming atmosphere — the perfect setting to unwind and live the moment. The boat features a full onboard bathroom, a Bluetooth sound system, and a bar ready to serve you throughout the journey. We sail toward the historic heart of the city, where you'll take in some of its most iconic landmarks: the Dom Luís I Bridge, Serra do Pilar, the Porto Cathedral, and the imposing Ribeira, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. On the Vila Nova de Gaia side, you'll glide past the famous Port wine cellars — symbols of the region's centuries-old winemaking tradition. The atmosphere onboard is relaxed yet refined — ideal for couples looking for a romantic experience, or for small groups who want to celebrate life in style. At the end of the tour, we raise a final toast with a tasting of Tawny Port Wine. Create memories that will last a lifetime.

I love the experience, it was very lovely , the reception was great and every one was very frindley. It is an experience to repeat.
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! ✨
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!
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!
10/10 experience. The crew was super nice and accommodating & the trip itself was beautiful. Would 100% recommend booking with them :)
Amazing experience, thank you so much to this amazing crew! Once in a lifetime experience, super accommodating! 10/10 would recommend.
Excellent experience, worth every penny!
Great sunset tour with Port Sailors and the best Port serving at sunset! Strongly recommend this tour when visiting Porto!
Excellent sausage board, incredible atmosphere and super friendly staff
Incredible experience. Very friendly and available crew.
Lovely boat trip on the Douro in a small group (only 8 people) with a sunset...
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.
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! ⭐️
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.
A truly memorable experience with Port Sailors! We had a spectacular moment at sunset, surrounded by wonderful landscapes and a unique atmosphere in the ocean. A very special thanks to Rui and Patrícia for the excellent hospitality, sympathy, attention and professionalism. They managed to make this tour even more special and provide us with moments that we will surely remember. The experience became even more complete with an excellent pairing of Porto wines with truly divine craft chocolates. An experience that we recommend and that we would love to repeat!

Welcoming reception Friendly and very welcoming couple, we were 15 minutes late and they just waited. Nice boat, much compliant like blankets and slippers. Nice to see Porto from the water.
We already had high expectations, but we never thought it would be the way it was. From the way we were received, as the whole process of the journey, to its end. We were entitled to snacks, chocolates and a drink! It was incredible comfort. Always concerned about the customers, borrowed blankets, always willing to ask if we needed anything. I strongly advise you to choose this company.. I have no more words to describe how wonderful it was. Thanks for the wonderful experience!!!
It was a wonderful experience. 2h of peace and comfort! They were super loving with us. Aperitifs and drink to enjoy the tour, the music chosen in perfection! No words really. We would repeat without thinking, but always with the same company!!
Fantastic experience! The hosts are quite attentive and concerned about providing a good experience!
Excellent experience! With great service and very capable and friendly people
Amazing experience, I recommend 100% From how we were received to the last moment. It will be well recorded among our memories!
An amazing experience in the Douro with Port Sailors! The tour was calm, and very special, sailing by sailing at sunset, overlooking the river to the sea, and the bridges, was simply magical. The staff is friendly, attentive and let us feel truly at ease. I recommend 100% for those who want to know the port from a different perspective. If you are looking for a quiet, beautiful and different experience from mass tourist options, Port Sailors is an excellent choice. I will repeat without thinking twice, especially on a late summer afternoon.
My boat trip experience with Port Sailors was very positive. Being in the middle of the Douro River is fantastic, and the "captains" Adriana and Rui are attentive to every detail so that we can enjoy the trip to the fullest. During the tour we also have the opportunity to get to know the city and its history a little better. I highly recommend the experience if you love the river/sea, enjoy the sunset and want to know the city of Porto from a different perspective.
An incredible late afternoon experience that turned our day into family. The sympathy, solicitude, care and welcoming of the crew allowed us to enjoy a safe, relaxed and unforgettable walk through the beautiful waters of the River Douro. To repeat without a doubt, on a longer walk!!🤗 If you can rent the boat to fill with family and friends! It's amazing!
