Have a unique and exclusive experience, enjoy the River Douro... quietly... on a 27-foot yacht, with the aim of introducing you to the flavours of Portugal’s regions and providing you with unforgettable moments onboard the “Smile” boat. A private experience, during the day or at night, tailored for couples, families or groups of up to seven people; carried out intimately, leisurely and above all far removed from noise and large gatherings. Navigation will be conducted by two skilled skippers who are both enthusiastic about their work and have extensive knowledge of this river, navigating slowly along its course while stopping briefly here and there allowing passengers time to appreciate these stunning views over the city skyline whilst taking photographs if they wish. The route covers approximately 13 miles (more than 20 km) sailing distance starting from Freixo marina right down to where the mighty waters meet those of the vast Atlantic ocean.
