What is included

Options and departures

Both options cover the 2 hour trip from Freixo Marina and run daily. Neither gives a departure time.

Means: Get a departure time before choosing either option; both cover 2 hours on the river.

Meeting point and pickup

Meeting point

Meet your crew at Freixo Marina on the Porto side of the river.

Getting there

You arrange the journey to the boat yourself, with public transport available near the marina.

Who it is for

Choose this if Freixo suits your journey and you want port on a 2 hour cruise. The yacht holds up to 12 passengers. Keep your plans flexible until you have a departure time and the operator has accepted the booking.

Take Douro Captain if you need a 10:00 departure, from €59 per person; reduced mobility makes it unsuitable. If 11:30 suits you, YachtingStyle’s daytime cruise costs from €49 per person; the operator still needs to accept your booking.

Means: Choose either option once you have a workable start time; both cover the same 2 hour route.

Not for

• Travellers with fixed plans immediately before or afterwards
• Groups of more than 12 passengers
• Visitors who need collection from their hotel
