Details

Discover Lisbon by boat as you sail along the Tagus River and take in the city’s best-known sights from a peaceful perspective. Your journey begins at the Doca do Bom Sucesso Marina, where you’ll board the sailboat and head downstream.

Cruise past the Monument of Discoveries and glide beneath the iconic 25 de Abril Bridge. As you continue along the River Tejo, you’ll have the chance to admire Lisbon’s mix of architectural styles lining the waterfront.

On the return trip, pass by the striking Christ the King statue on the south bank and the historic Belém Tower. If you choose the sunset option, you can watch the sun dip behind the Lisbon skyline—an especially romantic view for couples. Guests are welcome to help the crew sail the boat (no experience needed) or simply relax on deck and enjoy the ride.

It was a lovely one hour sailing trip across the Tagus to the bridge and back It was slightly windy so on a hot day I’m sure it would be even better. Free beer water and the young skipper and his mate were very good Worth the money and definitely recommend

An excellent experience, as listed by others. The enthusiasm and knowledge by the crew was fantastic, as were the sights and sounds experienced on the boat. Blankets once the sun had set and things got a little chilly were very welcome, overall a memorable and highly recommended experience.

We had a lovely afternoon with Manuel and Pedro and a very smooth ride! The wind wasn’t enough for sailing unfortunately but it was still a very nice cruise along under the motor power. Beautiful sights and they told us all about the landmarks and some great history of Lisbon as well.

One of the best things I did while in Lisbon. Such a great way to see the sights along the river from a different perspective. Crew were very friendly and helpful. The catamaran was spacious and clean. While technically there was no guide, the crew were happy to answer any questions, so we could just relax and enjoy the views and the sailing.

A very good time on the sailboat at sunset, the view of the city and the monuments from Belém to Lisbon are superb! The crew on the boat is particularly welcoming, and offers a drink to enjoy the experience even more! I highly recommend this activity (suitable for all ages and small groups or families), thank you to the two Franciscos for their contagious good humor and their touristic explanations along the ride!

A great, relaxing trip on a lovely boat with friendly crew. We were even asked if we wanted to have a go at steering the boat.

We did this as a family of 5 with 3 kids ages 8, 10, 13. Process was very organized! Boat was excellent - clean, lots of room, a bathroom, blankets, and a fun hammock net over the water that the kids loved. Crew was nice and friendly! One drink was included which was enjoyable, plus you could buy additional. Slight downside was that this was “sightseeing” only - no verbal explanations of what we were looking at unless you asked crew specifically, but I think this was mentioned in description.
