What is included

Options and departures

Both options run daily on the same schedule; the 26 ft yacht takes up to eight people. The 35 ft upgrade costs more and takes up to ten.

Means: Take the 26 ft option if sharing with up to 8 suits you; choose the upgrade for a larger boat with up to 10.

Meeting point and pickup

Douro Marina

Go through Douro Marina to gate C. The Opo Boat Tours team meets you there and helps you board.

Getting there

Arrange your own journey to the marina, where public transport is available nearby. The trip does not include private transfers.

Infant seating

Infant seats are available on the boat.

Who it is for

This suits you if a shared yacht with up to 8 people is small enough for your party. The 26 ft option has the starting price. Choose the 35 ft upgrade if you need room for up to 10 and accept a higher price.

For eight adults, Boating Porto’s private trip costs from €35 per person in a group of 8. If the Porto bank is easier, Douro In Board costs from €35 per adult and leaves from Cais do Ouro.

Means: Use the shared 26 ft option if eight places are enough; the 9:00 departure suits plans for an early start.

Not for

• Parties wanting the whole yacht to themselves
• Visitors who need private transport to the marina
• Groups larger than eight choosing the 26 ft boat
