Sailing down the majestic Douro River aboard the Mathilda is like stepping into an adventure movie, full of stories and emotions. With its roots in Thailand, this unique vessel has a fascinating journey that makes it a floating treasure.

 

Origins and Journey

Mathilda was born in 1983 in the exotic waters of Thailand. However, her destiny lay beyond Asian beaches. At the end of the 20th century, a Portuguese military man who fell in love with her beauty decided to bring her to Portugal, anchoring her in a small area in Lisbon. But before gliding through the waters of the Douro, the Mathilda faced challenges. Abandoned for a while, she needed restoration to regain her former glory. Recently, she underwent a complete overhaul, reviewing her mechanical and practical aspects.
