Porto: Charming Sailboat Cruise with Port Wine,Sunset Option - Leaving from Douro Marina near Afurada

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 1,978 reviews · 2 hours · from $41Our pick

Review of Porto’s two-hour sailboat cruise with port wine, city views, Luis I Bridge photos, and a possible Atlantic sunset run.

“This sailboat cruise is a MUST! We booked this experience the night before, only knowing we wanted to do one under 4 hours and earlier in the day while also having a more luxurious but intimate experience. This checked every box we were hoping for! Very comfortable accommodations, lovely drinks and snacks, extremely friendly and knowledgeable crew, and only six guests. We loved doing this tour in the morning so we couple learn all about Porto and get some great ideas and recommendations for food and things to do. I highly recommend this tour!!”

Sail Porto’s Douro River at sunset with drinks, snacks, and local stories, from Ribeira and Gaia to Foz and the Atlantic.

“What sets this tour apart is that the sunset view is farther out to the sea than any other boat. We were the only ones past the quay and this elevated the experience like nothing else. We saw the iconic orange sunset against the waves then dolphins appeared. The entire experience just got better and better. The crew was amazing (shout out to Sarah!), wine and snacks were included. Small nuggets of history, photos with the Luis bridge AND blankets for the cold sea breeze just made it even better. Definitely 10/10 can’t recommend enough!!”
