An Enchanting Evening

5.00Susana and Sergio are wonderful, knowledgeable hosts! Susana answered our endless questions and prepared a delicious charcuterie board with wine and Port, plus non-alcoholic options like juice and water. The boat was cozy and comfortable. We took a 5:30 boat ride, watched the sunset, and then enjoyed the lights of Porto and Gaia at night. I took 1,000 pics - the views and different lighting from day to night was beautiful. Highly recommend! My husband especially enjoyed the boat ride because he knew I wasn’t going to make him trudge uphill for at least two hours. (Ha!) A wonderful, relaxing boat ride after a busy day of sightseeing. Orbrigado, Susana and Sergio!

5.00Highly recommend getting a tour from Susana and her husband! Susana gave us a clear explanation of the region and all the stuff to see along the riverbank. The view was amazing and even though there were clouds, they made sure the sunset was amazing. The little addons are definitely a plus.
An amazing sunset experience!

5.00Susana and her husband Sergio met us at the Marina early evening and we made our way up the Douro for the sunset. Seeing all the other boats on the river was lovely too and the atmosphere was great. It had been a beautiful day and the sky was clear. We enjoyed tapas and fizz on the boat. As we approached the sea the sun went down, it was amazing! We turned for home and all the lights in Porto were coming on. The bridges were beautifully lit. Would highly recommend. A wonderful memory of our time in this lovely city.
Highlight of our time in...

5.00Highlight of our time in Porto. Sergio and Susanna clearly share what they love and have created. The sunset and the city at night was spectacular! They kept the boat calm, had wonderful music playing, and even brought 2 n/a beers for my partner who doesn’t drink. The port and cheese plate was delicious. My partner and I had the most romantic time laying on the padded bow and seeing the sights!
Memorable Romantic Experience

5.00Susana and Sergio were outstanding hosts. We were greeted at the entrance to the marina and led down to the boat. Susana took the time to tell us about the city of Porto and point out some interesting things as we cruised along. It was perfectly timed so that we reached the Atlantic just as the sun was setting. We were fed a nice tray of snacks as well as some wine and Porto. (Food allergies were taken into consideration). On the return, it was dark, so the lights of the city on both sides were beautiful. It was a very romantic experience. I booked this cruise for just my partner and I to propose to her in front of a beautiful sunset in a special moment. Susana was a big help for me. She arranged a bouquet of flowers, played the special song that I had and even snapped a few pictures for us to really capture the moment. I would recommend this experience to anyone!
Susanna & Sergio were awesome hosts! Great last day/night in Porto. Sunset was awesome! Dolphins 🐬 jumping wow! Really great

5.00Susana and Sergio were lovely! Susana was knowledgeable about the various buildings we sailed by and was very patient with my thousand questions :) Sergio has custom-built several accessories on the boat to make the ride more comfortable - a drink holder, a charcuterie tray, etc. They even changed their usual charcuterie menu to account for my food allergies. We highly recommend them!
Amazing experience

Best experience in Porto

5.00This was easily the highlight of our trip to Porto. The hosts were so attentive to our needs, providing drinks, snacks, blankets, everything to make sure we are comfortable. There are 6 seats total on the boat (3 in the front, 3 in the back), so while you can have up to 6 people, I would say it's ideal for 2 or 3 people, because the front view is the best (you can lay down, it was a new experience for me to ride a boat virtually on a bed). The ride itself was amazing, going under all the bridges, culminating in an amazing sunset view on the ocean, then going back into the nightlights of Porto, seeing everything from a different perspective. Highly recommend this activity, do not hesitate to book, it will create some amazing memories!
Perfect private sunset tour!

5.00We went out with Susana and her husband (Captain) earlier this week and had an awesome time! We spent 2 hours cruising up and down the Duoro River while Susana pointed out sights along the river. We went under all the Porto bridges! She also provided us with our choice of adult beverages and a nice plate of crackers, local cheese, nuts, and grapes. It was a great experience at a reasonable price for a private tour! Highly recommend going out with SSAMAZINGDUORO in Porto!
