About the experience

Step aboard for a full-day cruise that unveils the peaceful, lesser-explored side of the Douro River.

This 7-hour upriver journey blends natural beauty, swimming stops, and the unique experience of crossing the Crestuma-Lever Dam, making it a standout choice for nature lovers, explorers, or anyone wanting a full immersion into the calm, authentic rhythm of the Douro.

The day begins at Marina do Freixo with a welcome drink as you set sail upstream, gliding past lush landscapes and picturesque river beaches. You’ll pass by Areinho de Avintes, Marecos, Arnelas, and Zebreiros, each offering charming views of river life away from the crowds.

The cruise continues towards one of the highlights of the trip—navigating through the Crestuma-Lever Dam Lock, a fascinating and rare experience on the Douro.

Once past the lock, we continue to the serene Inha River, where we’ll anchor for two hours of pure relaxation. Swim in calm waters, enjoy snacks, or simply unwind in nature’s embrace. On the return journey, we pass through the dam once again and gently cruise back down to Marina do Freixo, soaking in the riverside scenery from a new perspective.

This tour is ideal for groups looking for a unique, immersive way to experience the Douro.

With its blend of exploration, relaxation, and exclusivity, it’s more than just a cruise—it’s a day to disconnect and discover.

    Chartering boats is a hobby of mine. I’ve chartered yachts in New Port RI, Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Algarve, Sorrento and now Porto. We had an amazing trip with Paulo’s team. Ben and Rita were amazing. The snacks on board were perfect. Best value in Europe. I definitely plan to book with this team/group again.

    Took a 4-hour trip on Douro river with my family and our Labrador. Paulo and Elena created an amazing experience for us and were so friendly and kind. The kids enjoyed navigating the boat together with the captain and we stopped for a little swim in the river, while my husband and I enjoyed the refreshments that Elena made for us on the deck (great white wine). Our Labrador felt at home on the boat from the first moments she set her paws on it. It was one of the best and wholesome family times we had. 10/10 recommend and will book an all-day trip next time!

    The boat is quite spacious, clean and comfortable, the attention of the staff is also very good, I only wish they offered some activity because we only went around during the 4 hour ride, even so we enjoyed ourselves in our own way, thank you very much.
