Great way to kick off our Porto visit! - We had a great time on this sunset cruise. I'm not going to lie, I started to be disappointed when we had to stop from going under the second d bridge due to clearance of the sail. However, going out into the Atlantic at true sunset and seeing the dolphins more than made up for not going further up river. The crew was very friendly and accommodating. Very pleased and a great way to kick off our visit to Porto!

Unbeatable moments - The crew was extremely professional and friendly and the boat was comfortable. Thank you Jose and Rodrigo for the fun and lots of laughs on board! With historical and geographical information about the area that they shared while we sailed on the river. Unbeatable moments of contemplation. A beautiful view of the city of Porto. Spectacular experience! Without a doubt, an unforgettable moment and worth every minute.

Enjoyable sunset cruise - This was a fabulous way to end our stay in Porto. There were only a small number of people on board and the two crew members were knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. We were given complimentary drinks and snacks. Even though it was quite windy and cold, we were given blankets, and the sunset was amazing. We loved going out into the Atlantic Ocean.

The 1.5-hour boat ride... - The 1.5-hour boat ride was the perfect length – long enough to enjoy the stunning views, but short enough to fit into a busy day. Plus, the Porto Tonic was a lovely touch to make the journey even more enjoyable. A wonderful way to unwind while taking in the beauty of the Douro.

Douro River Sunset Cruise - The cruise was a great time cruising along the Douro from the marina launch to the 'eifel' bridge to the Atlantic passage a couple times while being informed about the history of Porto and Gaia. Sipping on Port wine and salty snacks, Jose was passionate and entertaining about the history of the area. He was most helpful with recommendations for touring the Douro valley on our own which we did the next day on our journeyto Coimbra. It was a very pleasant evening and the Skipper was most skilled at navigating the journey. Thank you to both for a most enjoyable evening....Excellent time had by all!
