    Instructor Alex made the excursion fun and exciting for us as he rotated us 3 students through the basic positions (front sail, main sail, and rudder). Alex taught us a base line understanding of how to sail with humor and calm- I would do this class again if I had the time here. Sailing with a view of Porto and Gaia was a lifetime experience.

    I took a couple private sailing lessons and I had an incredible time. I could not have asked for a better experience as a novice sailor. The boat was easy to manage and very exciting. Special thanks goes to Gonçalo, who is very professional, has a great knowledge of sailing and enjoys teaching as well. I highly recommend them and I will certainly return to BBDouro next time!

    We did a private sailing lesson with Diogo and we were not disappointed. What a fantastic instructor and sailor he is. Experience and knowledge is what he brings to the table and puts both to full use. We will be talking about this 2.5 hours for a long time. Made us even think we’re going to get a boat and sail off the US east coast. Thank you
