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.
Five distinct experiences, each with its own boat, route and duration. All departures include a professional skipper and life jacket.
