Overview
Our tour takes place approximately 25km from the Douro estuary where tourist tour boats normally operate. For this reason we are in a much more exclusive area of Rio with a natural landscape rather than an urban one (which you can discover simply by walking along the riverside). Our car "transfer" lasts around 20 to 30 minutes. Once at the Marina you will realize that you will have a tourism experience but not a tourist one! Our desire is to provide you with a trip similar to that of the locals with your own boat. Enjoy a few hours in direct contact with the river and its banks full of nature where there isn't even a road on the horizon!!! Your tour is relaxed, with no traffic from other vessels. The river is therefore much calmer and more pleasant to navigate. The climate is warmer and less windy. We sailed along the river for around 30 km! We make this experience unique! Cruise. Leisure. Gastronomy. Discover the real Douro!

What To Expect
Barragem de Crestuma-Lever
Upstream of the Dam we begin our journey. This authentic masterpiece of engineering came into operation in 1986. The movable dam is made up of nine 25.5 meter high pillars!
• Admission Ticket Free
Stop (anchorage) in this idyllic landscape only accessible by boat where you will enjoy a light meal with wine tasting from the Douro region. Time to dive and swim in calm, warm and clean waters. There's still time to try our "Stand-Up-Paddle" and explore the banks and shallows of the river where the boat cannot go. Enjoy nature in the silence of the calm waters and be surprised by the presence of some birds, including the beautiful "Garça Real".

Lomba Beach
Praia da Lomba is a natural seaside resort that resembles a small island. Here you will discover a rural landscape typical of the region, with wooden houses on the hillside and other simple buildings that characterize the town. You can enjoy another swim or simply sunbathe in one of the boat's solariums and enjoy the stunning views of Rio with its unique and majestic green landscape.
30 Minutes • Admission Ticket Free
Douro River
During the tour we spent around an hour and a half of navigation. As we sail, you will have the opportunity to photograph and be inspired by the natural landscape, sometimes painted with small villages. If it occurs to you to record the moment with music to your liking, you can connect your playlist to our sound system. And now, enjoy another toast with one of our Port Wine selections!
1 Hours 30 Minutes • Admission Ticket Free
In this beautiful and picturesque marina, our boat trip begins and ends. You will have time to enjoy a dry white port while aboard our vessel. You will mainly find locals who own pleasure boats who, with their families and friends, go on a magnificent day of vacation like you! We are far from exhausting river traffic and mass tourism! You will find standard services such as a cafeteria and bathroom in the marina facilities.
