What’s not to like - Truly memorable boat trip and highlight of our stay in Porto Terrific communication and organisation beforehand Lovely relaxing journey with Serafin with catering by his wife- especially as my wife was vegetarian Was flexible enough to reschedule by an hour to maximise the good weather All in all would thoroughly recommend to anyone looking for a private non touristic ride along the Douro river

Excellent! - Generally 5 stars. I recommend it to those who want to spend a beautiful day in the Douro with time to learn more about it and enjoy it. From all the service available (excellent drinks and food) to the little gestures of Mr. Serafim, the experience was very pleasant. I highly recommend. Thank you very much, sir. Seraphim for hospitality and sympathy. Definitely an experience to repeat! Philip and Bia

A super trip down the Douro outside of Porto on a beautiful stretch of the river. - Just amazing. This couple are so fun and welcoming. They made the whole trip outstanding and were super relaxed. We listened to music, swam in the lagoon/tributary, ate, drank and had so much fun. Couldn't recommend it enough.

Fantastic day on the Douro - Our family of 6, mum, dad and 4 children in their twenties had a great day swimming and paddle boarding on a beautiful stretch of the Douro. Serafim and Elisa were wonderful hosts providing a lovely lunch and some very nice wines and ports through the day on their beautiful yacht. We all had a fantastic time and we would highly recommend this experience.

Relaxing Boat Trip on the Douro - Exceptional boat trip. The tributary of the Douro where we snorkeled and enjoyed lunch on board was of unique beauty. Very pleasant to try stand-up-paddle and lie down in the sun. Very attentive and competent crew. The boat is beautiful and comfortable. We highly recommend it.
