Sail Lisbon at sunset from Alcântara, sip Portuguese wine, and see Belém Tower, the 25th of April Bridge, and riverside monuments.
“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.”
See Lisbon’s landmarks from a historic boat, sip unlimited white wine, and watch the Tagus sunset beneath the 25 de Abril Bridge.
“Tour started great but after having one site pointed out to us the fog rolled in. The boat continued and then zero “highlights” from the crew. As we continued very slowly into the fog, the crew began to appear more worried. They served wine but grew more worried. Eventually they announced we were turning around. The fog went away slightly as we got back to the dock but overall didn’t see anything really. Requested a full refund but the vendor denied and gave only 50%. I get the experience was weather dependent but the vendor should also know this as well.”

Relaxing drinks, music, and history lesson along the way. Small group - comfortable seating even for the "old folks" on the cruise. Felt safe and no motion sickness at all. Couldn't ask for anything more ... we could have done this over and over!”

“Breathtaking! Two families children 9-13. Brilliant captain and crew, charming, engaging and highly motivated to make this unforgettable experience for everyone including the kids. One family from Germany, one from Lisboa. For both it was a new and exciting experience. So glad we took the private tour, as this was also about us getting to know each other. Definitely the highlight of our trip. Absolute value for money to charter the boat for ourselves”

Loved the boat and the gorgeous sunset did not disappoint. They both made it a wonderful evening and were very competent of their handling the boat. Thank you for a memorable sail.”

“This tour was perfect. It picked us up at our hotel on time. Our guide was knowledgeable and shared as much information as we requested.

At the conclusion we decided to get dropped off at a location he suggested to do some shopping at Portugal shops then walked to lunch at the Time Out Market (again the guides suggestion).”
