Immaculate sailboat, wine & charcuterie

“Went on a sunset Douro River experience with Rui and A’Patricia; what a great experience and such a warm and friendly couple. Their sailboat is in immaculate shape, the wine and charcuterie board were fantastic!! We were a group of 4 but the boat has ample room for 8 very comfortably. Absolutely the best experience we could have asked for and honestly we are a pretty critical group so that is really saying something! Highly recommend this experience for anyone in Porto!”

Un paseo al atardecer precioso y muy cuidado

“Una experiencia preciosa y totalmente recomendable. Hicimos un paseo de 2 horas al atardecer y todo estuvo genial. El barco estaba muy bien cuidado, el espacio para 8 personas era muy cómodo y la tripulación fue súper agradable. Durante el paseo: welcome drink con varios refrescos a elegir y carta propia por si quieres pedir algo más, mantas cuando empezó a refrescar, y un chupito + chocolate al final. Todo muy bien cuidado y pensado para disfrutar de la experiencia. Sin duda repetiríamos!”

Wunderschöne Sonnenuntergangstour — absolute Empfehlung

“Eine wunderschöne Sonnenuntergangs-Bootstour in Porto! Die Atmosphäre war super entspannt, mit toller Musik und einem Welcome Drink – Port Tonic und Portwein inklusive. Dazu gab es leckere Schokolade und sogar einige tolle Empfehlungen für unseren Aufenthalt in Porto. Ein rundum gelungener Abend mit wunderschönem Blick auf den Sonnenuntergang. Absolute Empfehlung!”

A personal experience — 10/10 would book again

“If you want a personal experience given by a couple running a small company this is the place to be. Amazing hospitality and boat and the views are insane. We booked the sunset cruise and it was everything you could hope for and made even better by the knowledge and personal touches given by the sailors. 10/10 would book again!”

A unique, unforgettable Solar Eclipse Tour

“We had a wonderful experience with Port Sailors during their special Solar Eclipse Tour. Everything was very well organized and the crew was friendly and welcoming throughout the trip. Watching the solar eclipse from the boat out on the Atlantic was such a unique and memorable experience. The atmosphere on board was relaxed and enjoyable, and staying out on the water for the sunset afterwards made the evening even more special. A really well-organized and unforgettable experience. We would definitely recommend Port Sailors!”

Sehr herzliche Gastgeber — ein besonderer Abend in Porto

“Patricia unf Rui sind sehr herzliche und sympathische Gastgeber! Sie schaffen es, jeden von 10 Gästen persönlich zu umsorgen, alle Fragen zu beantworten, Fotos zu machen und für das leibliche Wohl zu sorgen. Mein Mann und ich haben die 2,5 Stunden als Paar und auch als Teil der Gruppe sehr genossen! Nächstes Mal würde wir zu dem Portwein auch eine Käseplatte dazu buchen.. Wir empfehlen diesen Ausflug auf jeden Fall für einen besonderen Abend in Porto!”

A magical family sunset we will always remember

“I chose Port Sailors to celebrate my husband's birthday with our two children, and it was truly one of the highlights of our trip to Porto. From the very beginning, the team was incredibly responsive, attentive and genuinely cared about creating the perfect experience for our family. Everything exceeded our expectations: the beautiful sailing yacht, the delicious dinner, the kindness of the crew and the attention to every detail. Watching the sunset from the boat while enjoying a wonderful meal together was a magical experience that we will always remember. Thank you, Port Sailors, for creating such a precious family memory. I cannot recommend you highly enough!”

Fewer people, more private — excellent value

“The sunset boat sailing was perfect. I booked this one last minute for my birthday because i wanted one with less people and a more private experience. The hosts were so friendly and welcoming, gave us information about the area and the boat itself. The boat was extremely clean and felt new! What i liked most was the calm music, slow sailing (very smooth) & lovely drink/snack with a blanket when it got chilly. The hosts even took pictures for us and gave us an insta print to take home. When we got back, the hosts recommended a local fish restaurant which was AMAZING too, i cannot fault this entire experience & highly recommend you to choose this over the more crowded and less luxurious options... for the price it is excellent value!”

The perfect way to end our trip to Porto

“This sunset sailing experience was the perfect way to end our trip to Porto. Rui and Patricia were amazing hosts and made our little one's first time on a boat so special. They were warm, welcoming, and made everyone feel comfortable from the moment we stepped onboard. Everything was thoughtfully planned, from the welcome cocktail to the beautiful views of Porto and the Douro River. Finishing the evening with port wine, chocolate, and the most incredible sunset was the perfect ending. If you're visiting Porto, don't miss this experience. It was easily one of the highlights of our trip. Five stars all the way!”

An amazing sailing trip on the Douro and out to the sea

“We had an amazing sailing trip on the Douro River and out to the sea. The views were breathtaking, especially when we sailed past the river mouth into the open ocean when the sun was going down into the ocean. It was the perfect mix of calm river and a bit of waves at sea. The hosts (Rui and Patricia) were incredibly friendly and welcoming. They created a relaxed and fun atmosphere right away, were happy to take photos for us, and served delicious drinks on board. Everything felt personal and enjoyable. Highly recommended if you want to experience Porto from the water. Thank you for the wonderful afternoon!”

A highlight of our trip — breathtaking views of the bridges at sunset

“This was a highlight of our trip. We boarded a 10-person intimate sailboat, which offered breathtaking views of the bridges at sunset and the ocean. The hospitality was exceptional, with delicious drinks, a clean bathroom if needed, and blankets to keep us warm. Our group even joined a stranger and left as friends.

Wow, just amazing on our last night — they’ve thought of everything

“Wow just amazing on our last night. They’ve thought of everything. We had a lovely welcome drink at the front of the boat with options to purchase more if we wished. It was such a hot day so it was lovely to cool down but when the sun got lower and it felt a bit more chilly there were blankets provided. After a stunning sunset over calm water we were treated to a shot of port and some chocolate — perfect.”

My family of four took a sunset sailing tour on the River

“Could not recommend more highly! My family of four took a sunset sailing tour on the River with Rui and his partner. The experience was unforgettable and their hospitality made it so special. They thought of all the extra touches — cozy blankets when the wind picked up, beverage and treat tastings, information about what we were seeing. The river cruise was intimate, peaceful, warm and a wonderful way to remember our time in Portugal. Bonus — very kid-friendly (kids age 9 and 11)! Extra Bonus — if you'd like, they take many photos of you / your party to remember!”
