Available during the day or at night, this private cruise is ideal for couples, families or small groups of up to seven guests. Designed to be intimate and relaxed, it offers comfort and privacy, far from crowded tourist routes.
Your journey is led by two experienced local skippers who know the Douro intimately and share a genuine passion for its stories and landscapes. The navigation is smooth and unhurried, with thoughtful pauses along the way so guests can take in the breathtaking views over Porto and Vila Nova de Gaia, capture memorable photos, and fully embrace the atmosphere on board.


The route covers over 20 kilometres, sailing between Marina do Freixo and the Atlantic Ocean, revealing the river’s unique character as it flows from the historic city centre towards the open sea.
