5.00What an incredible way to see the city, going down the Douro on this beautiful yacht. The owner and his daughter were the perfect guides. They were so professional and gave us the best experience. I would do it again and would highly recommend to anyone.

5.00A great experience. Our niece booked this tour for 8 of us in our group. A family owned business with a friendly crew. We had great food and drinks while touring the Rio Douro on this beautiful yacht. Service was on point. Very thoughtful in providing a cake in honour of my father in law’s birthday. A perfect memory for a lifetime! Thank you!

5.00What an incredible experience! This yacht trip was easily the highlight of our family's trip. The views were absolutely stunning, and it was such a beautiful and unique way to see the city from the water. The crew was fantastic—friendly, knowledgeable, and always happy to answer our questions about the landmarks, buildings, and sights along the way. Their attention to detail and excellent service made the experience even more enjoyable. The food provided was surprisingly delicious and a perfect addition to the trip. Everything was thoughtfully planned and executed. 10/10 service and a 10/10 experience from start to finish. We would absolutely recommend this to anyone visiting the area and would do it again in a heartbeat! Thank you for helping create such a memorable family experience.
Best experience ever!

5.00Our private yacht cruise on the Douro River for my grandfather’s birthday was truly the highlight of our trip to Porto. The entire team went above and beyond to make our family feel welcome and celebrated. We loved learning about the surrounding area, and the food and wine were exceptional. Most of all, the hospitality and kindness shown was outstanding and made the experience incredibly special. We couldn’t recommend this experience more highly and would love to do it again someday!
