The people of Porto hold a huge celebration for the festival of São João (Saint John) on 23rd June. And by luck we were in Porto on the day after the festival, when the Rabelo Boat Regatta is held on the River Douro in the heart of the City. These shallow, flat bottom boats were originally used to transport the Port wine from the vineyards on the steep slopes of the extensive Douro River to the wineries in Porto, for ageing. These traditional boats were beginning to disappear by the early 1980s, so the Winery Brotherhood initiated the regatta, in which all of the major wineries are represented by their own boat each year.

Up to 20% off selected 2026 sailing holidays.�Some adventures are simply better when shared. The laughter on deck, the quiet moments at anchor, and the memories that turn into family stories for years to come. In 2026, sail side by side through some of the world’s most beautiful seascapes. Explore the sunlit islands of Greece, wander the pine-covered shores of Denmark, experience the Arctic light of Svalbard from Longyearbyen, or stay closer to home along the dramatic Devon coast. With a range of yachts, catamarans and tall ships, plus the option of full private charters, sailing is one of the most meaningful ways to travel together. Fully crewed and welcoming all ages, these are adventures that bring people closer. Because the best journeys aren’t just about where you go, they’re about who you go with.
