Every detail and moment related to this cruise was simple, peaceful and elegant. The marina was easy to find and still felt safe even though we seemed to be the only people in the area. The yacht was clean and well appointed. It was the largest boat in the area yet the captain maneuvered it with incredible ease. There was an appropriate mix of quiet time and conversational narration. It was an excellent way to see the six bridges and many historical land marks. The weather permitted so we opted to exit the mouth of the river and enter the Atlantic for the final minutes of sunset. Everything was beautiful and we (my group of 7) really appreciated the soft, nonintrusive jazz playing in the background. If you want to cap the evening off with an upscale seafood dinner consider dinner at Armazen do Piexe Restaurante less than a hundred yards from the dock. Excellent!

Amazing! Would 100% recommend!!!!
Boat is REALLY is nice! It was fantastic to see the city from the water and I think it’s the perfect way to start your trip to Porto (it was for me). The hosts were wonderful! They were kind, friendly, informative but also left you alone to enjoy the scenery!

Absolutely beautiful evening. We did the sunset tour - the hosts were friendly & informative - pointing out sites along the way and giving recommendations for dinner and sites to visit while in Porto. They provides sangria, a small snack, comfortable seating and a blanket when it got chilly. The sunset was stunning - they clearly had the route perfectly planned. Absolutely recommend!

Nancy and her crew did a great job. She was communicative as we approached the launch time and gave me more specific directions to be sure we found the right spot to meet. The boat is a nice cabin cruiser, very comfy. She put a pitcher of sangria down and the cruise started on a fun note. She’s very good at pointing out landmarks and bringing snacks. But she also gave us our space to chat amongst ourselves. We booked a nearby restaurant a bit earlier than our full tour would end so she just called the restaurant to let them know we’d be late! Highly recommend.
