️️️️️ We had a wonderful boat trip with Ricardo. He is knowledgeable, experienced, and made everything feel smooth and relaxed. The views of the town and the bridges were absolutely beautiful, and we enjoyed some lovely Portuguese champagne onboard. It was the perfect calm afternoon to celebrate my husband’s birthday. Highly recommended!

Christopher was very warm and welcoming. We had a lot of fun on board and together as we agreed to cruise to Bridge of Luis I and docked nearby to have an amazing Portuguese lunch. Christophe prepared 3 course meal and offered a range local vines. Definitely recommend Christophe as navigateur/captain for your next trip!

I strongly recommend Alvaro and his crew for a Douro River cruise experience! The boat is very comfortable and well equipped. There are 2 seating areas for 4 or 5 plus the sunning area on the bow. The scenery was beautiful and the half day trip was perfect. Captain Alvaro is gracious and professional. We had perfect weather and were very glad we added the 4th hour to our trip. Book your trip!
