Porto, Sailing cruise with Port wine & sunset option

About this activity

Come and sail on a Hunter 356, American-made sailing boat, along the banks of the Douro River!

Start your adventure at Pontão C de la Marina do Douro and head towards the magnificent historic area of Ribeira do Porto and Cais de Gaia. Arriving there is time to find out more about the cities, a task that our crew will be happy to share with you. Take a toast under our open candles and take the opportunity to take photos in a unique and fantastic setting!

On the Louis I Bridge, we reverse the direction towards the sea, passing the Douro Estuary Natural Reservation and the Porto Foz. Whenever the conditions allow, we will pass through the entrance of the bar and sail with the open candles over the waves to experience the magical feeling of vastness that only the Atlantic Ocean can offer. With some luck, the dolphins may come to welcome us. All this with a crew that stands out for constant attention and concern for the well-being of all who join it.
