What is included

Options and departures

Both options last 2 hours and run daily. Daytime sails at 11:00 or 15:00; sunset is a separate selection at 15:00 or 16:00.

Means: Select Sunset if that's the trip you want; 15:00 appears in both options and doesn't identify sunset by itself.

Meeting point and pickup

Meeting point

Head to Pontão C at Douro Marina, also called Marina da Afurada.

Arrival time

Be there 10 minutes before your reserved time. Allow for city traffic on your journey to the marina.

Your transport

You organise your journey to the marina. Public transport is available nearby.

Who it is for

Choose DIAMANTEDOURO if a welcome drink is enough and you want shared sailing with no more than 10 passengers. The crew explains the city waterfronts. A tasting cruise suits you better if the wines are your main reason for booking.

For Vinho Verde and port tasting, Touch Tours costs from €59 per person; sailing needs a minimum group. If you want privacy, LEÇAODOURO costs from €290 per boat for up to 8; sunset is a separate option.

Means: Select the Sunset option at 15:00 or 16:00 if sunset matters; daytime sailing also offers a 15:00 departure.

Not for

• Travellers wanting a private boat
• Groups with more than 10 people
• Anyone expecting a full wine tasting
• Travellers with poor cardiovascular health
