Spend about two hours on a private sailboat with your own group, a white or rosé wine welcome drink, and English-speaking guides such as Paulo, Pedro, or Francisco. The route passes under the 25 de Abril Bridge and by Praça do Comércio, Cristo Rei, the Discoveries Monument, and Belém Tower as Lisbon glows at sunset.
“We had a wonderful time sailing with Paolo during our visit to Lisbon! We are experienced sailors and were looking for some relaxing time on the water with a local and this tour was exactly what we were looking for. Lisbon is STUNNING from the water and Paolo did a great job pointing out the important landmarks during our sail. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone who is a sailor, but the boat is set up for Paolo to be able to sail the boat solo for groups who are not looking to be as “hands on” with sailing as we were! Thank you for such a memorable…”

Guides such as Claudio, Pedro, José, and Gonzalo provide commentary in English, Portuguese, or Spanish. Wine, snacks, fuel, and a certified crew are included.
“We highly recommend this sailboat cruise that we took during our honeymoon in July. Very easy to find in the Gaia marina. Started and ended right on time. We got to sit on the front of the boat where they served us wine with snacks, but could have sat in back as well. The view was spectacular. We had a very smooth cruise under several bridges on the river, you do not go out to sea where it is very choppy. Our guides, Claudio and Pedro, were very knowledgeable about the area and would share as much or as little information as you want. They told us interesting history as…”
