Very happy to recommend Fernando and Nancy as lovely hosts. Excellent sangria - thank you from our group of five. Spacious boat and so many highlights en route and the weather was perfect. Our trip continued with a seafood restaurant recommended by Nancy with excellent food, the Armazemdo Peixe. Linda x

Make your reservation. This was an exceptional way to view Porto from the water. The yacht is beautiful and our host Nancy was welcoming and very knowledgeable about all of the sites and history. Everything about our experience was wonderful and we more than highly recommend doing this venture. Wonderful sangria and light snacks were provided. We were the only passengers which made our trip extra special. Although it was a cold and windy day, we were comfortable both above and below deck. Blankets were provided! My husband and I agreed that this has been the highlight of iur trip to Porto.
