Rabelo Boats in Porto
Rabelo boats are the traditional Portuguese cargo boats which back in the day were used to transport Port wine from the vineyards to Vila Nova de Gaia. Nowadays, they are used as tour boats for sightseeing.
Sightseeing cruises
The Rabelo cruises depart from Ribeira and cross under all the city’s bridges until the river mouth into the Atlantic Ocean. These river cruises are nicknamed six bridge cruises.
Rabelos offer an amazing 360º degree panoramic view of the river, the city’s bridges, and the waterfront buildings. It also offers an amazing view of Gaia and its wine cellars.
