“Leo and Ines were delightful hosts, engaging and knowledgeable. The boat was a good size and comfortable with a downstairs cabin and toilet facility. We sat on the bow on cushions and very much enjoyed going up the river to where it meets the sea, passing under the six bridges. Porto from the water is stunning. The meeting point was the harbour, 45 mins walk from the centre along the river (although most will take a taxi). It's an excellent way to see Porto. Cheese and wine offering was a nice touch. Leo was pro-active in arranging upon request to drop us off at Porto on the return journey -…”

“We were supposed to meet at 17:45 for a 18:00 sail. That morning they changed it to 17:00 and because of traffic i messaged them to confirm we would be 5mins late. When we arrived they have left without us. However within 10minutes the crew came back for us and apologised. A mess up in the system telling them only 6 passengers due- but there were 8. Crew were lovely and welcoming. Snacks and drinks lovely addition. And blankets if you got cold. Amazing sunset which they said is not always guaranteed.Read more”
