What you can expect

  • A boat all yours. The Douro at your own rhythm.

    No crowds, no rush and no other guests on board , just a truly private 2-hour cruise reserved only for you and your group.

    Step aboard Cabernet, our classic 1963 boat, and discover Porto from the river as we cruise beneath the city's 6 bridges, between Porto and Vila Nova de Gaia.

    Along the way, enjoy a welcome drink, a tasting board of local products and a glass of Port while you take in the Ribeira, the wine cellars and the changing light on the Douro.

    Whether you are a couple, a family or a small group of friends, this experience is designed to feel relaxed, personal and unhurried. There is time to talk, celebrate, take photos or simply enjoy the silence and the beauty of the river.

    Hosted by locals who genuinely love the Douro, this is not about rushing from one sight to the next. It is about having the boat, the river and the moment to yourselves.

    For us, true luxury is simple: time, care, space and the feeling of being genuinely welcome.
