BBDouro
BBDouro is a boat service offering trips on the Douro River from Vila Nova de Gaia, with options ranging from motorboat excursions to sailing experiences. The boats are small and well-equipped with outdoor and covered seating areas, toilets, complimentary drinks, and WiFi for groups of about 12 to 18 passengers per journey.
The Douro River has served as a vital trade and transport route since Roman times. The company has been sharing its knowledge of the river's history with visitors for over a decade through boat journeys that reveal important historical locations along the waterway.
The trips pass historic buildings and wine cellars where the river's role in the region's past becomes visible. Passengers experience the connection between water and city from a viewpoint that highlights how the Douro shaped Porto's character.
Departures take place at Douro Marina in Vila Nova de Gaia, where boats are easily accessible and trips begin promptly. Cruises pass beneath several bridges, and note that the boats accommodate small groups, creating a more personal experience.
The company offers pure sailing tours where wind alone propels the boats without motor assistance, a rare opportunity to experience the river more quietly. Accessible boat options are also available for travelers with disabilities, showing that the experience is thoughtfully designed for different visitors.
