A perfect way to enjoy a day is sailing on a charming and classic Hallberg-Rassy 94 Kutter, motorsailor yacht, on Douro river estuary and shoreline of Porto. The most popular charter is a Douro river cruise. However, any location, any time of day, any occasion, is perfect to spend on the water. Captain Raul will accommodate your interests, so be sure to speak with him about customizing your cruise.

Raul, went above and beyond for our experience. We did an ocean sail that was an amazing experience. He and his crew, Ricardo, was kind and informative to our kids whom wanted to helm the boat. The accompaniment of wine, cheese, meats and other items was a fantastic break during the sail that was a romantic touch for the wife. Raul had to overcame a serious logistics issue ahead of our trip. This shows his character to ensure we had a great experience. If you have fair wind and ocean conditions I would not hesitate to sail the coast of Porto and Gaia with Raul.
Regards,
Jason Samara

Raul welcomed us onto his boat for the afternoon. He prepared a fantastic selection of local cheeses, meats, breads and wine and toured us up and down the river and then over to the ocean for a sunset cruise. We have two boys - with a lot of energy and questions - and Raul entertained us all. This was a highlight of our trip... we’d definitely tour with him again!!

Like all the other 56 "5 star reviews" we had a splendid time aboard the Agronauta with Capitan Raul and First Mae Carlos. The most enjoyable couple of hours while in Portugal sailing the river and sipping por. Raul is passionate about sailing, answering questions about history/culture while pouring some delicious port. Really was the highlight of of our stay in this beautiful city. Thanks Raul!

We were sooo lucky to spent a wonderful evening aboard Argonauta with an amazing sunset on the ocean. Even the sea was a big rough we felt safe and happy in this beautiful sailingboat. Thanks so much to Raul and his crew - hope to see you again!

We've booked the Ocean cruise. It was very well organized, safe and we had a lot of fun. Lots of stories about the sea. Then after 4hrs we asked if it's possible to continue with the river cruise - and it was. So we continued with the river cruise and it was great too. Even made a Port Wine tasting and got lots of information about the different wines. If you like sailing and a private tour - do it, book it and make the river or ocean sailing boat cruise in Porto with Mar Douro. Thumbs up guys! Ah - and we got even a lot of photos made by Raul. Really great service!

My family couldn't have had a more magical morning boat trip with Raul from Mar Douro. Raul was in touch with us before the trip asking what we would like to eat and drink and then provided a beautiful snack of fresh fruit, delicious cheeses, a wonderful Portuguese bread, and yummy local wine. His vintage boat is in beautiful condition and his love of sailing and of Porto was easy to see as he answered all our questions while traveling on the river. Raul also shared his great playlist of Portuguese music and took photos of our family which he later shared with us. We highly recommend Raul's tours! THANK YOU for your hospitality, Raul. You made us fall in love with Portugal.
