Boats in Vila Nova de Gaia

very good breadfast, the host is very generous and the food and drinks are more than enough for us. It is a very special experience to sleep on a boat, and inside it is actually much more spacious than looks from outside. There is everything equipped like in an apartment, and was a special experience especially for the children. The free parking is absolutely a plus, as we can park directly at the entrance with video camera and security staff. There are enough parking places. Very nice host, thank you!

Oswaldo was a gentleman, he was extremely kind and could not do enough to make us comfortable. The boat is in a very secure marina, has a bar/restaurant very close, The boat is very comfortable and has everything you would need, coffee maker, microwave, plenty of kitchen ware. The breakfast was such a nice gesture as Oswaldo left us bread, ham, cheese, milk, orange juice, coffee, etc.. and he explained everything and was very clear, we had no problems while we were there. There is also a radio/TV, he has thought of everything and very cleverly done, We were staying in Porto and added this to the end of our trip and are glad we did, we got an uber from Porto Centre which left us right at the boat. We would recommend this boat to everyone as part of a trip to Porto or maybe a few days, Oswaldo is a wonderful host, he also does river cruises in the summer and they are priced extremely reasonably. We will come back again when we came to Porto.

Absolutely beautiful and completely furnished boat in the heart of Porto, Very friendly owner and nice breakfast. We are over the moon, and definitely we will back.

The boat is 31 foot, and has a large external cockpit area under canvas. In sunny weather, the sides can be raised to provide a lovely comfortable social area. Even in poor weather, the stern canvas wall can be raised to provide a very pleasant spot for a drink - the marina staff kindly brought them down. The boat is on an inside berth in the marina, so that if, as was the case for us, there are large boats on the outside berth, there is not much sea to be seen. Inside is a saloon cabin, which can be used for eating, or converted to a bed (the "second bedroom"). Off the saloon, there is a separate toilet/shower, and the separate sleeping cabin. All are comfortable, but limited in height and space, especially the sleeping cabin. The mattress and pillows are hard. You need to be reasonably agile to get into the sleeping cabin, and to move around the toilet section. There is a coffee machine in the saloon, and a microwave, but no other cooking facilities. We had no hot water. The prepaid 2 course supper was kindly delivered, precooked, but in the process of delivery, the chips had lost their crispness. Food was otherwise OK. We provided our own wine. Overnight, there was singing and music from the marina, till after midnight, and there were the usual noises of boats and people moving. Breakfast was not served on the boat, but was available in the marina. Check in was remote, and not simple. You follow Google directions to the marina, not well signed, past the (closed) print museum, and there is a barrier next to a fishing shop. Just inside the barrier, attached to the fence, is a small box/Keysafe, opened with a code supplied by the owner. Unfortunately the key card was not inside when we opened the box, making things yet more complicated. We were never told why the card was missing. We were helped by the owner contacting an employee of the marina to let us and our car, into the marina. Overall, it was a fun experience.

Very specious and comfortable. Host very accommodating to our needs

It was clean and a perfect stay in the port

The boat was immaculate and beautifully furnished, bluetooth speaker, complimentary Port, fully stocked fridge (mini bar) the host was more than helpful and the breakfast was delicious! Delivered every morning at 9:30am, hot coffee, fresh bread, butter, jam, hot scrambled eggs, bacon, yoghurt with muesli, cheese and ham. We particularly liked the mooring as it was at the end and very private. Lots of room to sunbath, or simply sit on the back of the boat and relax with a nice chilled bottle of wine. You can pay a skipper to take you out on the boat also. Would definitely recommend it.

Our stay on a floating house was nothing short of wonderful. It was a truly unique and fascinating experience to wake up every day in the marina, surrounded by the captivating presence of ships right from the comfort of our "home". Everything we needed for a comfortable and enjoyable time was provided, with well-appointed amenities that ensured a pleasant stay throughout. We would like to extend a special thanks to Eduardo, who played a crucial role in making our vacation incredibly smooth. He was always available and went above and beyond to address any inquiries we had. We highly recommend this extraordinary experience to everyone, as it offers a refreshing and one-of-a-kind way to enjoy Porto. We are already looking forward to returning and reliving this unique adventure once again.
