# Porto: Luxury Yacht Tour on the Douro River - Sunset or Daytime

**Guidekin's take:** A slow yacht cruise with photo stops at the main sights, then a relaxed stretch with a welcome drink, in a shared daytime or sunset departure or as a private charter. No shows lose the full amount, and shoes come off on the bow. 4.92 from 196 reviews at €49 per person for 2h.

In our comparison: #6 of 9 in Sunset Cruises, by rating weighted by review volume (table below).

## Overview

Before going to dinner, end your afternoon in an extravagant way, enjoying an unforgettable experience on a luxurious yacht, calmly sailing along the Douro River while admiring the main tourist attractions of the cities of Porto and Vila Nova de Gaia. Navigation is always carried out calmly, with short breaks, so that you can admire the main tourist attractions and take photo sessions to remember your trip later. After visiting the main tourist attractions, it is time to relax under the clear waters of the Foz do Rio Douro and watch an incredible sunset in the area surrounding the beautiful natural landscape of the Douro Estuary. If you really want to contemplate a unique sunset, in a refined environment, in the company of your partner or family/friends, come with us!
