BBDouro made its debut in the Portuguese nautical market in 2012 as a sailing academy. Over the past years, we have earned our place in the sector by expanding our private and corporate services. oday, we are a reputable business on the Douro River that specializes in nautical experiences and services. We are committed to promoting sailing as an inclusive activity and and to be recognized by our expertise.

We are the tour operator with the largest fleet of recreational boats in the north, with the capacity to give sailing lessons to adults and children and nautical licenses training, as well as to carry out sightseeing tours, team building actions and corporate events (with the capacity to receive 160 people simultaneously). In Portugal, BBDouro also has the highest visibility when it comes to the creation of on-boat marketing and advertising strategies.

We established BBDouro ForALL in 2014, our brand dedicated to driving social responsibility projects, such as Sailing for a Cause and Sailing Without Barriers.

In 2022 and 2023, we expanded our business scope with the acquisition of Ondastar and Douro Yachts, two renowned companies in the market for maintenance, repair, and sale of recreational boats, strengthening our position in the nautical industry in northern Portugal.

With the start of 2024 and after two years of work to reorganize our structure and services, we presented a new reality centred on a single brand – BBDouro Group – with three business areas: BBDouro Nautical Experiences, BBDouro Boat Services and BBDouro Yachts Brokerage.

In June 2024, our steering wheel began to navigate the 210 km of the Douro River, with the announcement of the acquisition of FeelDouro, a leading company in nautical tourism in the Douro with two bases of operation in Douro Marina and Pinhão. This is an important milestone in our journey and will bring significant benefits to all our partners and clients.

BBDouro Group also holds the rights to operate the Invictus Cruises brand, dedicated to exclusive premium tours on the Douro River, which has been part of its offer since 2022.

Today, we have three offices, a workshop, two warehouses, three customer service areas, a fleet of more than 40 boats and a team of 45 people who guarantee the quality associated with BBDouro services on a daily basis.

We are far from the container from which we set sail on this adventure, but we will continue to navigate towards a better future.
