OCTANT I boat

Discover the LUXURY of the little things

Restored by Octant Hotels Douro, the Octant I Boat is an emblematic vessel of historical importance for the Douro region (remembering the Rabelo boats), paying homage to the rich heritage of Port wine production and the ancient riverbank carpenters.

Respecting tradition, its restoration - undertaken by Filipe Ferreira, grandson of Joaquim Monteiro, a riverbank carpenter - preserves the design and historical authenticity. Onboard, you will have the opportunity to experience the magic of the region while enjoying an exclusive and private journey through the waters and landscapes of the Douro River.
