Pedro was our skipper and he was awesome! It was a lovely night and we sailed up past Belem and all the way down to the Triumphal Arch. The white wine Pedro served us was delicious and we were nice and warm in the jackets he supplied us with. Along the way Pedro pointed out buildings and areas of interest. We highly recommend this tour!

Paulo was amazing and took us on the most PERFECT private boat tour. He told us the mechanics of how to drive the sailboat and took amazing pictures of me and my partner. You must book here. 10/10 experience.

Exceptional cruise and experience

John_H, Sep 2025

Paolo was incredible. After some confusion about the location he went above and beyond to accommodate us and we had a truly memorable experience on his yacht. Thank you Paolo, we are so grateful. Incredible service and a wonderful cruise.

Amazing experience

Jason_L, Sep 2025

My first time on a sailboat. My partner has been on several trips. What an amazing experience. Our Captain was charming, friendly, and was knowledgable of the maritime history of Lisbon. He provided a bottle of White wine, which was delicious. The tour lasted about 2.5 hours or so, and was excellent value for the money we paid. I'd highly recommend this experience. This was a private tour, there was only the 3 of us on the boat. You may find a cheaper experience being crammed onto a larger boat, but this was definitely a more intimate experience.

Perfect Sunset Cruise and Proposal

Tyler_D, Sep 2025

I had planned this excursion for months leading up as my plan to propose to my girlfriend, as she loves sailing and the scenery seemed amazing from photos. I messaged Paulo in advanced as a heads up and man did he help me out! He gave Pedro our captain a heads up and he was way more than helpful. Not only did he give us some good history and information of what we were seeing, but Pedro helped me execute a flawless proposal. He tooks photos and even brought some flowers and wine to help me out. Cannot sing his praises enough. The boat tour itself wa also excellent with beautiful views of Lisbon. Cannot recommend this and Pedro any higher! Must do this trip!

We had a wonderful time...

Shay_W, Sep 2025

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 experience!

Not the best experience

Michael_M, Jul 2025

Trip canceled by vendor 1 hour 45 minutes due weather it was bright sunshine and no wind. Other cruises were leaving around the same time with no issues. Sad last day in Portugal for our wedding anniversary trip. Oh well.

Response from Host, Jul 2025

Dear Michael, We’re sorry your experience ended this way, especially on your anniversary. Your tour was cancelled due to dangerous wind conditions: steady winds of 32 knots and gusts up to 45 knots, which made it unsafe to sail. Although the sun was shining, sailing under such wind puts both guests and crew at risk — and as a private charter with only the skipper onboard, we cannot operate under those conditions without compromising safety. While other vessels may have departed, they often follow different safety standards or operate motor boats with larger crews. We also tried to contact you earlier in the day, but the number provided did not work, and we offered to reschedule the tour — unsuccessfully, due to your limited availability. We hope to welcome you aboard another time, under better conditions, and with a special offer to make up for this. Best regards, P.Calado Lisbon Boat Tours

10/10 Experience

Andrew_P, May 2025

Amazing!!

Sahana_S, Jul 2024

Paulo and Francisco made our experience so memorable and were excellent tour guides! They shared lots of history facts and poured some great wine. I would highly recommend this tour! It really helped make our time in Lisbon all the more special.

Very nice private Sailing

ralflieder, Jun 2024

Very nice private sailing tour on the Tagus River on the banks of Lisbon. We had great weather and a wonderful sunset. Paolo had some nice stories to tell and so we sailed for a relaxing 3 hours.

Wonderful private tour!

Alexandra_M, Jun 2024

This boat tour was a great way to end the day and see all the Lisbon sights from the water. Paulo was very friendly and full of stories and information. The tour was a full 2 hrs and included wine. There was a little confusion about the start time and meeting point, but we got it sorted. It would be helpful to have the dock gate number provided in advance and to know the tour actually starts 30 min after the meeting time to ensure everyone gets there. Otherwise it was a fantastic experience!

Incredible Private Sailing Tour

Alexandra_W, Jun 2024

What an incredible experience! An absolute must when you are in Lisbon. Anytime of the day is absolutely gorgeous and Paolo is a one of a kind gem! He is enthusiastic and passionate while giving an informative two hour tour. You can make the tour what you want and will be greeted with a delicious welcome drink. I would recommend to anyone visiting Lisbon and will absolutely return!
