Beautiful way to experience Porto! - Our captain; his first mate and lovely daughter went out of their way to show us a special time! The sunset and sky were beautiful but to see the way the light plays on Porto was magical. The smaller sailboat was nice and it leant itself to a more intimate gathering where we could get to know other travelers as well. With a great sense of humor and a very friendly heart, our captain made our time with him educational and incredibly enjoyable at the same time. I highly recommend to book this excursion.

Wonderful Sunset Trip - Really enjoyed this boat trip. The conditions were perfect and the guides were so friendly.
We were hoping for some more guidance around the history. We asked questions and these were answered, but would have been good to have more commentary.
The port and tonic was delicious. 2 generous servings!
Highly recommended!

Sensational City Views - This was a relaxing trip with a great crew that tended to our every need. They were knowledgeable about Porto and Portuguese history and were able to easily relay the information to the guests.
Seeing the city from the river was a a unique perspective and the late day sun provided great lighting for photos.

Perfect way to end a day in Porto - Our family of five thoroughly enjoyed this tour. We were accompanied by seven other people on the ride and had two guides. The weather was perfect, and we got to see the sunset, which was beautiful. We were given port and tonic cocktails which were delicious. Our guide was very informative and friendly without being overbearing and made his rounds to speak to all on board for a personal experience. I would highly recommend for families! We loved it!

Above and beyond expereience. - What an incredible evening. While not under sail the ship was comfortable and steady as it made it's was up and down the river, eventually getting to the mouth at the Atlantic Ocean. The hosts were extremely charming and we had great conversation and cocktails for the duration, These guys are so amazing that one of our party dropped her iPhone into the water at the dock (don't try and get on our off with your phone in your hand :) and they had someone dive for the phone the next day and recovered it. It was still working!. She just made arrangements to ship it back to her for 40 euros. These guys were not looking for any additional compensation, just doing what they felt was the right thing. They of course got a very generous tip. Restored my faith in humility. Definitely something that will stick with us for a long time. Highly recommend!
