We had a wonderful relaxing time. Loved that it was a small group (10 people). They waited on us with drinks and snacks, and Bruno was vey interesting and knowledgeable giving us info and background as we sailed past places on the river. We highly recommend!!

Beautiful trip up the river and out to the Atlantic! Mandy was a great Captain. Telling us about the history and telling stories about what we were seeing. The first mate Francesca was also fantastic. She served us wine and port and was also very knowledgeable about the history. Great value for the price and I highly recommend it.

My wife and I did the sunset cruise on our first evening in Porto and it was amazing - a great way to start our visit to this beautiful city. Captain and crew were professional, courteous and funny. We sipped some white port while heading upriver to the historic center, then headed downriver to catch a beautiful sunset out past the sea wall. Only 8 of us on the tour, so plenty of room to stretch out on the front of the sailboat. I would highly recommend!
