Details
Climb aboard a luxurious yacht for a 1 or 2-hour sailing tour of the coast of Lisbon, departing from the Doca do Bom Sucesso near the historic Belém Tower. Cruise along the tranquil waters of the Tagus River, passing the atmospheric neighborhoods of the city for an appreciation of its maritime and fishing traditions, along with its strategic importance in the defense of Portugal against attack in less peaceful times.
Your enthusiastic and experienced skipper will share their knowledge of sailing the Atlantic and Tagus Estuary, as well as provide stories of Lisbon and its surrounding coastline. Your safety is a top priority at all times. Relax on board the stylish boats, which are between 7 and 18 meters long, and feature onboard toilet facilities, a kitchenette, and a CD/MP3/radio audio system to provide the soundtrack to your experience.
Choose from a 1-hour morning cruise, a 2-hour day cruise, or a romantic 2-hour sunset cruise.

Very pleasant to cross the Tagus by sailboat. The crew is very nice, especially the gentleman from Panama. However, there was a lack of historical or cultural information to enhance the visit. The meeting point is very well indicated, no waiting. I recommend this outing.

A very good activity. Being in the Belém neighborhood when we decided to take a cruise, we booked with a departure point close to where we were. We opted for the 2:00 version. Having made the reservation in a hurry, we thought it would be a cruise on a big boat with other visitors (in fact, we thought the price was perhaps a little expensive). But it was a great surprise when we arrived and found that this trip was done on board a sailboat, only for the two of us (and therefore, the price was completely justified and affordable compared to other capitals). We were welcomed by Alex and Carlotta and they looked after us very well. Very good view of Lisbon and very beautiful photos. We highly recommend this cruise.

Her "Absolutely fantastic experience! The boat trip on the Tagus River offered breathtaking views of Lisbon's iconic landmarks like the Belem Tower and the Christ the King statue. The crew was friendly, knowledgeable, and ensured a smooth sailing throughout. It's a must-do activity for anyone visiting Lisbon, offering a unique perspective of the city's beauty from the water. Highly recommend!"

We had a great time. Beautiful sailboat, clean and comfortable, beautiful view of the city and the main buildings However, no comments were made during the activity, the skipper was more interested in his phone than in the customers. The second person, spoke French very well, but did not find it useful to practice with the French-speaking customers on board. Too bad, otherwise the output would have been perfect.
