Sailing PortoSailing PortoRent a sailboat or hop on one of our crewed boats and discover Porto from the water: centuries-old bridges, wine cellars, and unforgettable sunsets.
We take travelers along the Douro sharing what we love most: the sea, sailing, and Portuguese culture. Every trip is different — it depends on the wind, the light, and who comes aboard.
— Captain Sergio Mateo, founder
Sailing Porto was born from the desire to show Porto from a different angle: from the water. We operate from Ponte Dom Luís I to Matosinhos and, for those looking for something longer, we organize multi-day trips following the ancient Camino de Santiago by sea.
Our captains speak several languages and combine nautical training with local anecdotes — from the history of the bridges to recommendations on where to eat the best fish on your return.
