Great sunset tour! A little chilly our night, but they offered blankets to everyone. The wine was nice. We enjoyed the commentary from the guides and loved chatting with Matilda. It was a nice mother/daughter evening.

Wonderful boat cruise on a beautiful day in Lisbon with my husband and teenage children. We all enjoyed the trip and the views and sights of Lisbon from the Tagus river. Our guides Maria and Titouan were fabulous and made it a great experience. A must do if you are visiting Lisbon!

Sunset sail in Lisbon. ❤️

Fantastic way to get a different perspective of Lisbon during the golden hour, amazing! Beautiful views, great navigation and service from team.

A Peaceful Escape on the Tagus River

phyllis_m, Jul 2026
My friends and I live in Lisbon and wanted to get out of the heat and, for me, celebrate the 4th of July. Pedro and Tiago made our 2-hour journey along the Tagus River so enjoyable. They kept us supplied with cold beverages, creating the perfect, relaxing trip. There wasn't loud, pumping music to ruin the peacefulness, which we really appreciated. Pedro also shared some history along the way that we didn't know, along with a few of his favorite local places to eat. It was the perfect morning, and I'll definitely be adding this to my list of things to do when guests come to town or when the city heat is unbearable. Thank you, Pedro!

Amazing harbour tour!

Miriam_H, Jun 2026
This IS the best way to not only see the coastlines of the north and south banks of the Tagus River, but also to learn about the sites! The captain was SO informative (and entertaining) - even caught the attention of my three adolescent sons. Such a beautiful, smooth ride and this was on a very windy day. It was just my family of 5 on board so easy to take photos of the sites as no one else was blocking our camera 🙂. Highly recommend!

Outstanding highly recommend

Rich_A, Jun 2026
Excellent cruise the crew were very knowledgeable but also did not overload you with information. The boat was in excellent shape, was a great way to spend time together.

Nice way to see Lisbon

Marcy_H, Jun 2026
Our tour guides were very friendly and knew a lot about the history of the city as they pointed out landmarks. It was a lovely trip, very relaxing, and beautiful out on the water.

Excellent experience on the river! We had a great time as a family, relaxing, and checking out the sites of Lisbon from the boat. Beautiful sailboat with lots of information about Portugal and the Lisbon area. Great activity for a family or group of friends.

More than expected

Best sunset tour in Lisbon!

David_W, Apr 2026
Excellent tour, very comfortable. Maria and her partner took great care of us. There were five of us and we all couldn't be happier.

Waste of time and money

Morrigan, Apr 2026
My friend enjoyed it so I'm clearly an outlier, but I didn't care for it and I generally do enjoy boat tours. The scenery was mostly dull and repetitive, with hardly anything interesting or special to see. It was too cold to be a relaxing kind of experience as well (even when dressing warmly and having a blanket). I basically kept wishing I was walking around Belém instead and had saved my money. The staff was friendly, but that's about it. They didn't speak a whole lot nor did they volunteer much information, but they did answer questions and were nice people. But to me it's absolutely not worth the price or money and I ended up being disappointed.

Different Way to See the City

Maximilian_M, Apr 2026
Paolo and Teatwin (sorry about the spelling!) gave a great tour - humorous and informative. We enjoyed seeing the city from the river.

Great day on the river

Daniel_H, Feb 2026
It was a great experience. We are planning on doing it again soon with friends. It is worth the price.

Perfect Christmas trip

Vanessa_A, Jan 2026
We booked the sailing trip on Christmas day and it was the perfect gift. We ended up having a private tour as no one else had booked. Gabriel and Joao were friendly and shared info on what we were seeing, history of Lisbon, fado, life in Portugal. It was clear they love what they do and they ensured we had a great time. Our son got special treatment which made for a memorable Christmas. We had a perfect Christmas morning despite it being cold. Highly recommend and would do it again.

Response from Host, Jan 2026

Thank you so much for your wonderful review Vanessa! We’re truly happy to hear that your Christmas sailing trip turned into such a special and memorable experience. Having a private tour on Christmas Day made it even more magical and we’re delighted that Gabriel and João could share their passion for Lisbon with you :) Your kind words and recommendation truly motivate us and we would be honored to welcome you back for another sailing experience in the future. Wishing you and your family all the best!

Lifelong memories made

Deirdre_H, Dec 2025
This was a perfect activity for our first day in Lisbon after a long day travelling. Paolo and Lorenzo were our crew and Paolo was a great guide with great engagement with all of us. We watched beautiful sunset over Lisbon. I’m so glad we decided to do this. For a family of 4 it was pricey but it was absolutely worth it.

Response from Host, Dec 2025

Thank you for your lovely review! We’re so happy the sunset sail was the perfect way to start your time in Lisbon. We’re glad it felt worth it and hope to welcome you on board again soon!

Great sailing cruise in Lisbon

Carrie_A, Oct 2025
Excellent sail! Very small group with just myself and two others. It felt like a personal tour. Great guides and handled the sailboat beautifully. They were both locals so they shared in depth knowledge of the area and history. Beautiful opportunity to take close up photos of the bridge and the Christ statue. Highly recommended!

It was great. Our two tour guides were extremely knowledgeable about Lisbon, and about Portugal in general. They were also really nice, and fun to talk to. They both knew how to operate the boat, and were professional in all respects.

Trip cancelledl. Still waiting for our money back.

Edgar_G, Oct 2025
The boat trip was cancelled. We were there at 12:30. 1:00 sailing. No boat. Please refund our money!

Response from Host, Oct 2025

Hi We made the refund on the same day, a few minutes after the talk with you. So from our side everything was made as talked. It should be a Viator problem, for sure, and anyway for sure that you received an email from Viator with that information. And for sure you will be refunded as the e-mail described. Regards Pedro

Beautiful views, smooth...

Ruth_S, Sep 2025
Beautiful views, smooth sailing, tour guides were funny and knowledgeable, gave us lots of information but also gave us time just to enjoy the views. Lovely iced tea included (as well as alcoholic drinks and water), plenty of space below deck for our bags and a toilet. Would definitely recommend, we loved it

Lovely sail with Paulo...

Kathy_H, Sep 2025
Lovely sail with Paulo and his crew. Entertaining and relaxing small group tour that is great for a solo tourist like myself!
