    Full description
    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.

    Easily the best thing we done on our holiday as a whole, let alone Lisbon. The views are amazing and it’s all very cosy and romantic. Equally you can get to know other people on board such as the employees who were really lovely and friendly. Our skipper (Diogo) and host (Raquel) were the best. On asking Diogo for a restaurant recommendation he called a friend of his who owns a wine bar and restaurant and got us a table for afterward the boat trip which was so fantastic. 10/10 experience. You get a welcome drink (alcoholic or non-alcoholic) plus they play music and provide blankets if you get chilly!

    Disappointment at the start. We had booked in French but the guide does not speak French. He tells us that it is not his fault that this is a problem experienced by many other Francophones. Great satisfaction afterwards because he was really very available, friendly… We were able to put on our music, drive the boat and take advantage of his very good knowledge of Lisbon and the nautical world.

    An extraordinary experience, the captain was great, he provided us with tourist explanations. We drank a bottle of white wine with other people on board. It allowed us to get to know people. We saw dolphins with their babies it was a magical moment. The most magical sunset I've had.
