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.
