We selected the small group option to allow for a more personal experience! We hit the jackpot! Captain John and Nita were the best! They made our trip something we will remember forever. They were so helpful and attentive. The dick staff helped us with arranging storage if our luggage to facilitate a smooth transfer to our cruise ship afterwards. We could not ask for more!

Relaxing time on the water

Kristin_F, Aug 2025
Bruno, Francisco and the other young guy (sorry can’t remember his name) were excellent hosts! They were very kind and helpful with our young kids and even let my oldest “drive” for a bit. We appreciated the wine, juice boxes and snacks plus the interesting facts + tips about Lisbon. Definitely recommend.

5 star sailing tour!

Kaitlyn_G, May 2025
We had an unforgettable sailing tour in Lisbon with John and David—what an incredible experience! From the moment we stepped on board, they made us feel so welcome and at ease. Their warmth and hospitality truly set the tone for a relaxing and memorable day on the water. As we sailed along the river, they shared fascinating insights into Lisbon’s rich history, pointing out landmarks like the iconic bridge, the beautiful coastline, and sharing the story behind the impressive Monument of the Cross. Their knowledge and passion for the city made the tour both fun and educational. My husband enjoyed delicious snacks and refreshing green wine, while they were incredibly thoughtful in accommodating me with special snacks and drinks since I’m six months pregnant. We also had some lovely conversations throughout the day—it felt more like sailing with friends than a formal tour. A huge thank you to both John and David for such a lovely and personalized experience. If you’re looking for a unique and meaningful way to see Lisbon, this sailing tour is a must!

An amazing experience! Beautiful views of Lisbon from the river. We were the only 3 passengers on a lovely sailing yacht and our hosts Joao and Henrique were very hospitable, helpful and brilliantly described points of historical and geographical interest. The free tasty wine and snacks were very much appreciated. Highly recommended

Steve and Nancy’s Lisbon sailing trip

Stephen_B, Jun 2023
Our captain and his mate were so personable, and shared so much about the history of the buildings and communities surrounding the river, during our trip. They were also good about talking about the wines we enjoyed and there familiarity with the Daro Valley. A great trip, certainly.

We got very unlucky with the weather but this trip ended up being one the best tours I’ve ever done, anywhere. The captain was hilarious and super knowledgeable. He served a delicious green wine that everyone thoroughly enjoyed. The sail boat was very nice with a bathroom. I would do this tour again.

Segeltour in Lissabon

Batizado da família em pequeno cruzeiro no Tejo

Amalia_S, Oct 2022
Esta atividade veio na sequência duma experiência, minha, feita com colegas de trabalho. Foi tão agradável que quis partilhar esta experiência com a família. Adoraram. Excelente receção da parte da tripulação. O percurso realizado permitiu conhecer a outra face das margens do Tejo com especial beleza para o lado de Lisboa. O tempo estava muito agradável. Tivemos sorte em tudo

Response from Host, Oct 2022

Olá. Não conseguimos agradecer o suficiente pelas amáveis ​​palavras sobre o passeio de barco em Lisboa. A sua avaliação significa muito para nós e mostra que estamos no caminho certo! Ansioso para vê-la novamente em breve e obrigado novamente!

Toller Trip mit super nettem Personal und vielen interessanten Storys

Stefan_S, Sep 2022
Insgesamt waren es 8 Leute; wir waren zu zweit und haben uns vorne auf ein gemütliches Sitzkissen gelegt. Die Tour war total schön bei blauem Himmel. Dazu gab es Wein und immer wieder interessante Storys vom Land, der Brücke usw. Bei schönem Wetter klare Empfehlung.
