Sobre
A nossa aventura ao pôr-do-sol começa no Pontão C da Douro Marina e continua em direção à inesquecível zona histórica da Ribeira e Gaia. Uma vez aqui, é altura de descobrir mais sobre a cidade do Porto, tarefa que a nossa tripulação terá todo o prazer em partilhar consigo. Brinde degustando um bom vinho do Douro à sua escolha e aproveite para fotografar num cenário único. Entretanto, invertemos o rumo em direção ao mar, passando pela área protegida do estuário do Douro e pela bela foz antiga do Porto com as suas inconfundíveis palmeiras. E cada vez mais perto do borbulhar do mar, em pleno Oceano Atlântico e havendo condições de navegabilidade entraremos no mar, levando os nossos visitantes a experimentar a sensação mágica de imensidão que só o mar é capaz de proporcionar e nos fazer sentir. Com alguma sorte, os golfinhos poderão vir cumprimentá-lo. Tudo isto com uma tripulação que se destaca pela atenção constante e foco no bem-estar de quem nos visita.
