Overview

Enjoy an unforgettable experience aboard a stylish yacht as you cruise gently along the Douro River.
Take in the breathtaking views of Porto and Villa Nova DE Gaia, gliding peacefully past their most iconic landmarks in a serene and elegant setting.

The journey includes short scenic stops, giving you time to take beautiful photos and appreciate the sights — including the six famous bridges that connect the two cities.

After exploring the urban stretch of the river, we head towards the mouth of the Douro, where you'll be surrounded by the natural beauty and calm waters of the Douro Estuary Nature Reserve, a protected area of great ecological value.

This experience is perfect for couples, families, or groups of friends (up to 12 people), offering a refined, comfortable, and welcoming atmosphere — whether in a private or shared setting.
