Livin Barca: Welcome to the water sports paradise

In the middle of the National Natural Reserve, with a privileged view over Ria de Aveiro, Livin Barca is a family project that celebrates outdoor life. Livin Barca is living aboard and always choosing contact with Nature as a way of life.

Ria de Aveiro is a wonderful place that we know well and that we want to share with everyone – especially with those who are still unaware of all that it has to offer. Countless species of fish and aquatic birds live here. This incredible biodiversity constitutes a true natural paradise.

The extensive water surfaces make Ria de Aveiro a place of choice for the practice of several nautical sports, while its branching in channels allows the contemplation of a dazzling landscape in perfect harmony with Nature.

Livin Barca is a nautical experience center in Torreira that provides the practice of water sports, boat trips or even custom programs. If you want to enjoy a quiet day of observation and contact with nature, we suggest our Stand Up Paddle SUP Tour through the channels of Ria or a sailing or motor boat trip. These are programs accessible to all ages, which you can enjoy with family or friends. 

If you have a more adventurous spirit, there are plenty of options for a radical experience: water skiing, wakeboarding, hydro foil or even windsurfing.

Ria de Aveiro also offers the ideal conditions to learn how to sail. At Livin Barca we have at your disposal a light sailing course consisting of 4 lessons of 2h30. 

With activities for all tastes, your best moments of vacations or leisure will certainly be spent with us. 

We are in Torreira, in the center of Portugal, 45 minutes away from Porto and 15 minutes by ferryboat from Aveiro. Visit us! We are waiting for you in the next sunny day.
