About the experience

Board the elegant Invictus Hx 200 (2024) for a relaxing 1 hour and 30 minute cruise through the historic center of Porto and Vila Nova de Gaia. Departing from Douro Marina (Afurada), this experience combines the beauty of the Douro River with the rich narration of a local guide who brings centuries of history, wine and architectural splendor to life.

As the boat sails across the Arrábida Bridge, you will discover stories about Port wine, local legends and the deep connection between the river and the city's identity. The route includes stunning views of iconic monuments such as Foz do Douro, the Church of Massarelos, the elegant Palácio de Cristal, the vibrant Ribeira, the imposing Torre dos Clérigos and the noble Sé do Porto.

Cross over to Gaia and admire the Episcopal Residence, the majestic Luís I Bridge, the impressive Serra do Pilar and the ancient Fernandine Walls, while enjoying a selection of regional snacks.

Included: Port wine tasting and delicious snacks.

Ideal for couples, small groups or curious travelers, this short but engaging cruise is the perfect way to discover the soul of Porto from its most picturesque perspective: the river that shaped it.

    Miguel and his companion were professional, convivial and friendly throughout our trip. He shared numerous fun facts and overall information about Porto & Gaia. My wife Isabelle and I had a great sunset tour and would recommend his tour without hesitation.

    We had a wonderful time with Miguel and Joanna. They made us feel very welcome, the boat was very comfortable, and the service impeccable! Delicious cocktails, 10-year-old port, and some appetizers were served. We went back up to the Luis I Bridge, then headed back to the mouth of the Atlantic Ocean to watch the sunset. It was magnificent! I recommend it 100%. Thank you both.

    A big thank you to Miguel and Joanna for this magnificent boat tour! If you are looking for a romantic boat ride, or with family or friends, and you want to discover the city, while enjoying small snacks and cocktails carefully prepared by Miguel, this is the best! A relaxing visit but enriching in history, (you can even ask Miguel to put music in the background, it's great!), we discovered the architecture and historic buildings all along the river in complete tranquility! Thank you for this beautiful moment! I recommend!

    Absolutely brilliant trip. A really different way to see the cities of Porto and Gaia. Miguel and Joanna were so friendly and informative. The boat is really comfortable and the port and snacks were a lovely touch. Forget the excursions in the big boats with loads of people - this is the way to do it!
