Marina da Afurada - We head from Marina da Afurada towards the beautiful historic area of Porto and Cais de Gaia.
Passing the Arrábida Bridge, we start by serving the first wine of your choice and preference. Arriving at Ponte D. Luiz I, we serve a tasting board with superior cheeses, charcuterie, jams and assorted chutneys, fresh fruit, gourmet crackers, dried fruits, among other flavors that we can have such as olives in olive oil, or roasted chorizo… And at the Along the undulating river and quietly appreciating its banks to the sound of good music, we head towards the sea. We can, if our customers so wish, change the wine to try another one of your preference and we finish with Ruby, white and tawny Port wines so that they bring a complete sensation of flavors.
At the end of our tour, we can also direct our visitors to our micro gourmet space where they can purchase some of the products they tasted on board.

Cruising - The boat ride was very lovely and beautiful. The captain and the co-captain were amazing and super friendly. They made us some delicious cocktails and snacks. They also took amazing pictures for us and gave us some good history lesson. They further recommended nice restaurants and activities for us to do. The whole experience was absolutely wonderful !!

Highly recommended boat trip - We had booked a trip for 4 people on a sailboat. An hour or so before, Ricardo called and said that due to the weather, they would recommend booking the yacht instead, as it would have better rain protection. And boy, were we glad we did! It was pouring heavily at the start of the trip. But a smiling Claudio met us and we had a great time with him and the young captain (dont remember his name) on board. Very relaxing, nice drinks, snacks and music. We were mostly inside, but it was still a really enjoyable trip. We thank them again, for changing the boat on short notice, very thoughtful and clear that they put their customers first.
