Intimate Porto Sunset Boat Tour with Scenic Views and Welcome Drink

Step aboard our elegant sailboat and witness the beauty of Porto bathed in the golden glow of sunset. This two-hour sunset cruise offers a truly enchanting way to experience the Douro River and Atlantic coast while relaxing with friends, family, or that special someone.

Departing from Pontoon C at Douro Marina, the tour sails toward the historic Ribeira district and Vila Nova de Gaia. Here, you’ll enjoy unforgettable views of the Luis I Bridge, Ribeira’s colorful waterfront, and the famous Port Wine Cellars. As the sun lowers, capture spectacular photos with Porto’s skyline bathed in evening light.

Your certified crew will share fascinating stories about the city’s history and landmarks as you sail gently toward the Douro estuary and the beautiful Foz do Douro. On days with good conditions, the boat may venture into the Atlantic Ocean, offering breathtaking sunset views and, occasionally, a greeting from playful dolphins.

Relax to the soothing sound of the water and onboard music, sip your welcome drink, and enjoy light snacks. The sunset cruise’s romantic and serene atmosphere makes it a perfect choice for couples, small groups, and anyone seeking a memorable Porto experience.
