Rabelos boats shipyard

Vila Nova de Gaia
Description

Situated on the river bank of Vila Nova de Gaia, next to the Port wine cellars, one finds the only shipyard that still built the original Rabelos boats. These vessels were during centuries, the means of transport of the famous Port wine that came from the Douro’s Demarcated Region to be deposited in the well-known cellars situated in Vila Nova de Gaia.

Currently, this shipyard concentrates great part of its activity in the adaptation and building of these vessels, duly modernized, with motor, WC, meal service, winter and summer covers and other equipment as a way of answering the touristic demands of our days, while preserving faithfully the original characteristics of what were the original Rabelos boats.
