    Everything was perfect, Manuel and his sons were very helpful and friendly. The boat was even better than we expected and perfectly functional, even for a group of 10 people. The trip along the Douro was magnificent, and the service on board was excellent. Thank you to them for this trip, which I would gladly do again!

    We had a really great time on board with the thirteen of us and the boat looked really good. We could even move our boat trip a day forward, because of the weather, very flexible! They were both really great hosts and took good care of us! The sights along the river were beautiful and so was the swimming place. Overall we had an amazing time and would definitely recommend this :)

    A true family owned and run boat! The skippers were very pleasant and professional, the food (cooked by mom!) was fantastic, the boat was a blast, and my party thoroughly enjoyed themselves!!! Thank you for a great experience and we will be going out again!

    Great moment with a great crew!! Apero, cocktails, perfect for our bachelor party. One of the crew is even almost-photograph-professional. Thank you for your professionalism and availability before!

    What a fantastic time. Manuel and his son were super accommodating for our group! We wanted a later than normal departure and they were more than happy to adjust to meet our needs. Part of our group were nearly 30 minutes late but they waited, no stress and still got our alloted hours. We had a few drinks, watched the sun go down and they stopped to let us swim in the river! Super highly recommended!

    We had a great time cruising on Douro River including some Paddle Boarding and Jetski. The communication with Manuel in advance to the trip was extremely smooth and fast and it made planning very easy. Both him and his son, who was our skipper that day, were very friendly and gave us a great service. I would absolutely recommend then and would always book again!

    We had a magnificent day. The crew was top. Too bad we didn't have all the equipment provided in the reservation. But we recommend the boat and crew.
