Hop on board, relax, and enjoy gliding across the Douro River.

Appreciate a stylish and secure river crossing on boats inspired by the traditional Rabelos, once used to transport Port wine from the Douro Valley to Porto's cellars. Named "Serra do Pilar" and "Casa do Infante" as a tribute to the iconic cities of Porto and Vila Nova de Gaia, these boats offer a voyage rich in history and appeal.

With departures in every 15 minutes from 10 AM until sunset, choose a time that suits your day of exploration. Each ride takes just 5 minutes, swiftly taking you to the other side.

Admire the scenery and even capture a few photos to preserve the enjoyable memories of the voyage.
