"We had an unforgettable sailing tour in Lisbon with John and David—what an incredible experience! From the moment we stepped on board, they made us feel so welcome and at ease. Their warmth and hospitality truly set the tone for a relaxing and memorable day on the water.
As we sailed along the river, they shared fascinating insights into Lisbon’s rich history, pointing out landmarks like the iconic bridge, the beautiful coastline, and sharing the story behind the impressive Monument of the Cross. Their knowledge and passion for the city made the tour both fun and educational.
My husband enjoyed delicious snacks and refreshing green wine, while they were incredibly thoughtful in accommodating me with special snacks and drinks since I’m six months pregnant. We also had some lovely conversations throughout the day—it felt more like sailing with friends than a formal tour.
A huge thank you to both John and David for such a lovely and personalized experience. If you’re looking for a unique and meaningful way to see Lisbon, this sailing tour is a must!

One of the best tours I’ve ever booked on Viator and I’ve done a lot of them. It was beautiful and relaxing and the Portuguese hosts were super engaging and never let your wine glass get less than half full. I’ve had alot of tours in other countries led by foreigners who don’t really know the local history, so it’s always great to have actual local tour guides. This was my last night in Lisbon as a solo traveler and the first time on my trip that I felt engaged and connected with other people. I can feel awkward with strangers but this was super comfortable because that’s the environment they set. Would recommend 10/10.
We recently enjoyed a private boat cruise in Lisbon as a family group of 11, spanning three generations. The experience was a wonderful way for all of us to see the city from the river, offering beautiful views of Lisbon’s iconic landmarks. The weather was ideal, which made the outing even more memorable. Our hosts, Jay Jay and Bruno, were fantastic—friendly, professional, and attentive to everyone’s needs, making sure guests of all ages felt comfortable and welcome. I highly recommend this cruise for families or groups looking for a unique and enjoyable way to explore Lisbon together.
My husband and I went on this sailing experience because we kept hearing how it’s a must to sail in Lisbon. After going on this tour, I can see why people say it’s a must. Juan (Joe) and Henry, were amazing guides and made the ride so enjoyable. Yet it was cold and not sunny at all, we made the best of it and so did they. They set out blankets for us, poured the wine endlessly, and even provided little bites. We learned a lot about Lisbon through them. It was a great experience, and I definitely recommend it
Bernie and JP were both very professional and experienced sailors. My husband Gabriel also sails and they practically let him have the full experience as the skipper . It was worth the money spent . Highly recommended boat/ sail rental activity . At the end of the trip we pretty much became friends. The wine and the treats were also perfect . What a great way to celebrate our anniversary. Muito obrigado João e Bernardo. Até logo, Catarina e Gabriel
I don't normally leave reviews, but I was impressed by every aspect of this. The organisation of everything was good and the trip was great value for money. The sunset was truly spectacular and the commentary was entertaining and well pitched. I had worried that there would a few token wines only, but the crew were cheerful and genuinely proactive in making sure the drinks were topped up throughout. Highly recommended!
"This tour was amazing. The two people who were with us were very kind and had great knowledge. Seeing Lisbon from the boat, especially at sunset, is truly unforgettable.
They gave us plenty of wine, ham, and cheese, and even a blanket because it was cold, which we really appreciated. We felt very comfortable and happy the whole time.
We 100% recommend this tour. It is a must-do."
We selected the small group option to allow for a more personal experience! We hit the jackpot! Captain John and Nita were the best! They made our trip something we will remember forever. They were so helpful and attentive. The dick staff helped us with arranging storage if our luggage to facilitate a smooth transfer to our cruise ship afterwards. We could not ask for more!
The sunset cruise was amazing!! The crew were excellent. They were very friendly, amusing and kept the wine flowing throughout the cruise. We met some very nice people during the cruise which made it even more special. The sunset and views of Lisbon from the water were spectacular. I would highly recommend this activity and even do it again myself.
We had Bernardo and Henrique for our private boat tour and it was honestly the highlight of our holiday! We were on a hen party, the drinks were never emptied, they went the extra mile by playing games and allowing us to connect our music it really was amazing, would recommend to anyone looking to have a great time in Lisbon! Thanks again guys
"An amazing experience!
Beautiful views of Lisbon from the river.
We were the only 3 passengers on a lovely sailing yacht and our hosts Joao and Henrique were very hospitable, helpful and brilliantly described points of historical and geographical interest.
The free tasty wine and snacks were very much appreciated.
Highly recommended

It was a stunning, extraordinary cruise! We were sailing comfortably on a catamaran along the river, passing all the sightseeing attractions. The sunset was amazing, despite cloudy skies. The wine was delicious, and we were enjoying it a lot. The captain and the crew all were really great. We really can highly recommend this tour!
We really enjoyed our time sailing with these guys on a cool night. They were attentive to our wine glasses as well as blankets for those who needed them. The meeting point is a little hard to find in the huge marina even with the detailed instructions they provided. Give yourself some time to find them, its worth it.
Such a lovely way to end our time in Lisbon (although we also think it was a perfect way to start, as a recommendation)! Our captain and guide were amazing; they shared knowledgeable fun facts about the city and kept our wine glasses full the whole time! Would highly recommend adding this tour to your itinerary.
Bruno, Francisco and the other young guy (sorry can’t remember his name) were excellent hosts! They were very kind and helpful with our young kids and even let my oldest “drive” for a bit. We appreciated the wine, juice boxes and snacks plus the interesting facts + tips about Lisbon. Definitely recommend.
This experience was on our final night and it was absolutely fantastic. The crew- Arti and Bruno were super friendly and attentive. Nothing was a problem. The boat was beautiful, food and wine delicious, and the sunset delivered more than expected. I would highly recommend this tour.
Great way to spend a few hours in Lisbon. The company kept in contact via WhatsApp. Changed dates and upgraded boat as weather was to be bad the day we booked. Plenty of wine (White) and some snacks on the trip. The captain Joe and his deckhand Bruno were good craic on the trip.
Well organized, very clear instruction, fabulous boat, we got the bean bag up front - definitely best seat on board. The 2 lads were lovely, very chatty but not too much so, plenty of wine and the sunset was amazing, highly recommend, beautiful way to spend few hours in Lisbon.
We had an amazing experience with Francisco and Bruno on our sunset cruise. The boat was indeed luxurious and the wine was flowing. It was a perfect evening and the sunset on the Tagus river was breath taking. We loved the whole experience and would definitely recommend it!!
"This was an amazing experience. Henry and Joe were friendly, interactive, and more than hospitable. They made this experience all the much better. There were only 5 of us on this trip but it made it much more intimate. I would definitely recommend anyone to do this

The optimal way to see Lisbon! All the sites and zero hustle. Guides struck the perfect blend of humorous and informative. Really enjoyed the snacks and generous pours of vino. The boat was comfy and elegant. Perfectly chill way to spend an evening and make memories.
"This was an absolutely lovely way to spend 2hrs!
The boat was well spread out so everyone had space. The tour hosts were sooo welcoming, fun & knowledgeable.
It was so relaxing & yet felt like we’d also done an activity too!!
Fab wine (or minerals) too!!

One of the highlights of our Lisbon trip, a must do! We lucked out with great weather even tho it was winter. The service was impeccable, the boat is so big and luxurious. The wine kept flowing, we had the best time! Highly recommend this company.
We really enjoyed the tour on a beautiful boat. The guides were very attentive to us getting us wine blankets and everything we needed. Very kind and knowledgeable about the area. Was a great tour to enjoy our last evening in Portugal with.
We had a great time on this sunset cruise, which was a nice ending to our Portugal trip. The captain was very kind to our daughter when she got seasick (her fault, not theirs!), and entertained our chatty son like a king. Thanks again!
Joe and Henry were wonderful hosts on our evening sunset cruise. It was filled with great wine, charcuterie and views of various landmarks from the water along with a beautiful sunset at the end all aboard a spacious yacht.
The crew were kind, pampering, and knowledgeable ! We felt like we were almost on our own boat because we had the upper deck all to ourselves most of the trip. We highly recommend this sunset cruise!
Our group had an amazing time on this trip! We had the boat all to ourselves and enjoyed sailing along the river and seeing the beautiful sights. Our crew was great and we would label this a must do!
Great experience for all ages. Our group included an 82yr, and she was able to sit comfortably inside out of the wind. The crew was fantastic and made a point to ensure she thoroughly enjoy the trip.
The captain and mate were amazing. Very capable and really treated us well. The tour itself was also amazing, seeing Lisbon under the moonlight was exceptional. Cannot rate highly enough.
Wonderful and friendly and fun and informative. Blue skies and warm winds with a glass of wine and thoughtful snacks made this day memorable. Marta and our captain were perfect!
Really good time, very chilled and the wine kept coming! Bruno was extremely knowledgeable and we learnt a lot about the history of Lisbon. Would highly recommend.
This was the perfect experience for our last night in Lisbon. The tour was stunning and the crew was exceptional. Would highly recommend booking with them! 10/10!
John and his first mate were amazing!!! Very knowledgeable, professional, and most of all kind. I wish I could give them more stars!!! Truly amazing experience!
We had an amazing time! The boat ride was beautiful and the delicious Portuguese wine was flowing! Lisbon from the water is breathtaking. Don’t miss this tour.
I would rebook with this crew in a heartbeat. We brought our 5 month old grand daughter with us, and they looked after us incredibly. We highly recommend.
The ride was amazing! Wonderful view of our city, which we have little opportunity to appreciate. Super attentive and professional crew.
Amazing trip. Beautiful surroundings and great views from the river. The crew was very helpful and friendly. Definitely recommend.
It was a great experience. They upgraded us to a luxury boat free of cost. Excellent customer service. Loved the cruise.
It has been amazing the porto tour with Ramon. very good guide and good bikes. We had a lot of fun and learned a lot.
