Douro Boat Tours

An intimate 2-hour experience between the mouth of the Douro River and the historic bridges of Porto, aboard a sail-boat or catamaran. Welcome drink included.

Shared Tour with Welcome Drink

Our Douro Boat Tours are the best way to discover Porto from a different perspective
Cruise down the river with an experienced crew aboard a sail-boat or catamaran that can accommodate up to 18 people—away from the crowds, close to what matters.
During the 2-hour cruise, you’ll admire the most iconic landmarks of Porto and Vila Nova de Gaia: the Ribeira, the Port wine cellars, the historic bridges, and—weather permitting—head out to the mouth of the river to feel the Atlantic breeze.

Welcome drink included. Limited seating. Please make reservations in advance, especially during peak season.
