We had the most incredible time sailing with Nigel and his skipper, Manuel. From the moment we stepped aboard, we were welcomed like friends and completely pampered. The food and drinks were generous and delicious. And delivered with a smile. Sailing is the best way to see Lisbon, but the highlight was the stunning sunset, which felt almost magical. Nigel and Manuel created such a relaxed, joyful atmosphere, making the whole experience feel truly special. We are already planning to come back. Thank you Nigel and Manuel

This is a lovely two hour cruise with champagne and snacks. Nigel the boat captain is a great guy, very accommodating, as was the other staff member on the boat. It was chilly by the time the sun was setting because our cruise was from 7 to 9 PM and they even had blankets on board. All around Great activity. Low-key, nice sites to see, drink champagne on the river,

The highlight of our time in Lisbon. The view from the river, looking back at Lisbon was spectacular! Great hosts, delicious snacks and wine/champagne. We thoroughly enjoyed our experience. We went on the sunset cruise. It was the most perfect night and it’s not to be missed! Highly recommended.

Superb service. Small group experience. Fernando, our captain was laid back, informative and great company.. the snacks were served warm and delicious, bottomless bubbly and white wine were great compliment. An excellent way to just sit back and chill without a care in the world.

Laid back, low key 2 hours out on the water. Nigel was fantastic and very personable. He let everyone that wanted to have a chance at steering the boat. Watching the sunset from the boat was beautiful and I would absolutely recommend this to friends and family.

The tour was amazing! Everything was perfectly planned from start to finish. The team, Nigel and Fernando, were approachable, well organized and took excellent care of us. There were detailed explanations of all kinds, we were allowed to move freely on the ship and were well entertained. Both have individually adapted to the different guests, so that the trip was more than successful. It was an unforgettable highlight of our trip to Lisbon! Greetings from Kristin and Sandra
