“This was a highlight of our trip. We boarded a 10-person intimate sailboat, which offered breathtaking views of the bridges at sunset and the ocean. The hospitality was exceptional, with delicious drinks, a clean bathroom if needed, and blankets to keep us warm. Our group even joined a stranger and left as friends. Patricia and Rui were wonderful hosts. Highly recommended!”
“Absolutely amazing trip on the River Douro to the Atlantic! The sailboat is beautiful and comfortable. We were able to go out on the deck and enjoy drinks, take photos and relax. This is a trip to not miss!”
“The captain and crew were so polite, positive and informative on our cruise on the Douro River. Seeing the two cities, Porto and Gaia, and then the cruise to the Atlantic to see the sunset made for a great evening. The snacks and drinks were delicious and I enjoyed the trip immensely.”
“Onvergetelijke boottocht met prachtige zonsondergang, vriendelijke kapitein en crew, lekkere porto degustatie en fijne weetjes onderweg! Topervaring ❤️”
“Wow just amazing on our last night. They’ve thought of everything. We had a lovely welcome drink at the front of the boat with options to purchase more if we wished. It was such a hot day so it was lovely to cool down but when the sun got lower and it felt a bit more chilly there were blankets provided. After a stunning sunset over calm water we were treated to a shot of port and some chocolate — perfect.”
“Sensacional. Crucero muy recomendable. Impresionante. El capitán y todo el equipo muy atentos. Consiguen un ambiente envolvente, relajante y único acompañado de buena música. Experiencia inolvidable.”
“This was a great experience. The crew was very attentive and did an amazing job at making sure we had a good time.”
“Great experience, very friendly sailors — I felt right at home. A fantastic way to explore the city from a different perspective.”
“What a beautiful sunset experience on the river and ocean of Porto aboard this beautiful sailing boat. Our captain and his first mate were so kind and generous. We loved the port tonic drink and chocolates and the warm blankets. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!”
“Rui and A'Patrícia were great hosts, super easy to communicate with and just really welcoming, friendly, entertaining and lovely. We enjoyed our time on the boat very much. If we are ever back in Porto, we'll definitely visit again.”
“Fantastic private tour, the hosts were super friendly. We enjoyed every moment and nothing was missing. Thank you so much, Rui Silva and Patricia.”
“Es war ein toller Segelausflug mit herzlichen Gastgebern. Wir hatten Glück mit dem Wetter und konnten einen wundervollen Sonnenuntergang sehen. Wir haben Decken bekommen und leckeren Wein getestet. Tolle Fotos entstanden, würden diese Tour jederzeit wieder den großen Booten vorziehen.”
“Experiência única, com música ambiente, porto tónico e uns miminhos que enriquecem ainda mais o pôr-do-sol da nossa Invicta.”
“La visite était de toute beauté, les guides très gentils et aux petits soins pour les passagers, à recommander !”
“An amazing experience in the Douro with Port Sailors! The tour was calm, and very special, sailing at sunset, overlooking the river to the sea, and the bridges, was simply magical. The staff is friendly, attentive and let us feel truly at ease.”
“My boat trip experience with Port Sailors was very positive. Being in the middle of the Douro River is fantastic, and the captains Adriana and Rui are attentive to every detail so that we can enjoy the trip to the fullest.”
“Could not recommend more highly! My family of four took a sunset sailing tour on the River with Rui and his partner. The experience was unforgettable and their hospitality made it so special. They thought of all the extra touches — cozy blankets when the wind picked up, beverage and treat tastings, information about what we were seeing. The river cruise was intimate, peaceful, warm and a wonderful way to remember our time in Portugal. Bonus — very kid-friendly (kids age 9 and 11)! Extra Bonus — if you'd like, they take many photos of you / your party to remember!”
