VOYANT Yachting is based in Vila Nova de Gaia, Porto, and specializes in curated Douro River boat experiences that showcase the best of Porto and the riverfront. The company offers five distinct trips: the Voyant Open Cruise, a Vintage Luxury private cruise aboard a 1930s wooden yacht, the Voyant Open Sunset Cruise, dedicated Bachelorette Party charters, and a Full Day Douro River Cruise (6h) that explores the lower Douro and Love Island.
Departures follow iconic river routes — from the Luiz I Bridge toward the Atlantic Ocean — giving passengers panoramic views of Porto’s historic skyline and the Vila Nova de Gaia waterfront. Key sights along the routes include the Port Wine Cellars, the cable car at Gaia, and multiple Douro bridges. The full-day option includes a scenic route in the lower Douro, a lunch stop at a local restaurant, and time for swimming in clear river waters.
VOYANT Yachting combines a vintage nautical atmosphere (including a restored 1930s wooden yacht option) with modern cruise options on the VOYANT vessel. Experiences range from short open cruises to private charters for parties and a six-hour full-day exploration, accommodating a variety of group types and occasions. All descriptions reflect the company’s publicly listed trip offerings and locations in Vila Nova de Gaia and Porto.
For travelers seeking river-focused sightseeing, sunset views, celebrations aboard a vintage boat, or a full-day Douro excursion, VOYANT Yachting provides direct access to Douro River highlights and memorable waterfront perspectives.
