- Marina da Afurada - Our sunset adventure begins at Pontoon C of Marina da Afurada and continues towards the unforgettable historic area of Ribeira and Cais de Gaia. Once here, it’s time to discover more about the city of Porto, a task that our crew will be happy to share with you. Toast to the taste of a good Douro wine of your choice and take the opportunity to photograph in a unique setting.
Meanwhile, we reverse our course towards the sea, passing through the protected area of the Douro estuary and the beautiful old mouth of Porto with its unmistakable palm trees. And ever closer to the bubbling of the sea, in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean and whenever there are conditions for navigation, we touch the waves of the sea, taking our visitors to experience the magical sensation of immensity that only the sea is capable of making us feel. With any luck the dolphins might come and greet you. All this with a crew that stands out for its constant attention and focus on the well-being of those who visit us.

DO NOT MISS Captain Douro’s Sunset Tour - This was truly highlight of our stay in Porto. Ricardo was Captain Douro, Owner of the business and of the Sailboat. His first mate, Tiago, describe the history of the sights and served us lovely cocktails. I felt like we were the only ones up the boat! We were treated with such respect and friendliness. Such beautiful time of day and such a beautiful crew. Do not miss!

Cozy sunset boat trip - Fantastic view. Great crew and wine tasting. Unfortunately it rained, but you could take cover and avoid the rain while still having a terrific time. Beware of the location though, if you’re in Porto the meetup is in Gaia, the city across the river.

Magic trip, worth every penny - Best thing we did in Porto. Riccardo has a gorgeous comfortable boat and we loved it. Going out to sea at the end for the sunset was magic. Very highly recommend this trip and it does cost more than the rabelos but totally worth it, approx £60 per person on a group trip.

Excellent Sunset Cruise in Porto/Gaia - Captain Ricardo and his skipper were extremely friendly and welcoming. This sunset cruise was the absolute highlight of our 2 weeks in Portugal. They offered us wine/beer and snacks and they were very informative about the history of Porto/Gaia. We would love to bring our family back to enjoy this cruise again. It is the best 2 hours you can spend in Porto area. You will not be disappointed.

What a magical experience - What a magical evening out on the Douro with Ricardo and his engaging young helmsman whose name I'm embarrassed to say I've forgotten. After leaving the dock we headed east towards the Riberia area where we were given a lovely White Port and tonic cocktail and furnished with plenty of information and ideas for future exploring. We then headed west back past the departure point and towards the setting sun. Wow wow wow. Heading out between the breakwater and into the Atlantic. The weather was superb, and there we just drifted and rode the slight swell, along with a few other vessels as the sun disappeared below the horizon. A perfect, almost surreal experience that was just magical. If you can, choose your evening around the best weather of your trip and I'm pretty confident you will not be disappointed. 100% 5 starts. Thanks Ricardo, for a fantastic evening
