Fantastic experience. - Fantastic experience. Claudia was the perfect host, making sure we all were comfortable and happy, acting as bartender, and giving us local info such as restaurant recommendations (ask her where to get fresh seafood). She even managed to arrange not only a sunset for us, but she waived her magic wand and managed to conjure a gorgeous moonrise above Porto as well! One of the best experiences I've had in my 6 weeks in Europe. Highly recommend. I will definitely do this again next time I'm in Porto.

Relaxing with beautiful sunsets - We were running late due to traffic but they waited for us and we were warmly greeted! The trip was lovely just the right amount of time as we sailed down the river with a beautiful sunset at the end. We headed towards the harbour entrance where we got to experience some open water sailing which was enjoyable! We got to try some wine and cocktails from the Dura valley. It’s a family run business, Claudia took the time to talk to each guest on board and gave good recommendations for tours and places to eat. Highly recommendable!

A fantastic experience. - It was an amazing experience sailing along the Douro. The views of the city from the river are great. Being able to see the sunset as we headed to the mouth of the river was beautiful and very relaxing, the sunset over the Atlantic, unforgettable. The staff on board were very friendly and attentive. A super recommended experience.

Great views with a very friendly crew! - My wife and some friends of ours were able to book this activity and really enjoyed seeing the city, the waves splashing up against the jetty, and an amazing sunset. The crew was very friendly and fun to talk to as well. Recommend highly.

Amazing - Great way to see the river and the city in an intimate setting. The crew was punctual and fun, they were real pros. They shared nuggets of info about the history of the city, and provided an accommodating experience for everyone. Great for couples or families. Lovely views, wonderful experience, reasonable price. Highly recommended.
