Paulo was absolutely wonderful with our 2 girls, teaching them how to steer and adjust the sails - they had a blast and it was so nice to see Lisbon from the water with a nice glass of wine! He was very patient with us and safety conscious and got us up close to the monuments! His passion for sailing definitely shines through!

Amazing sail to see Lisbon’s monuments from the water!

Fun on the Tagus

Frank_C, Jun 2024

Paulo is great. Not only is he a competent and safe sailor he had the most interesting background he willingly shares. Our afternoon sailing with him was one of the highlights of our wonderful visit to Lisbon

Amazing Sailing

Wonderful private boat tour

Rebecca_B, Sep 2023

Wonderful views with historical commentary from the captain. Had the pleasure of about 10-15 dolphins swimming and playing along the boat.

NO SHOW !!!

Kyle_K, Oct 2022

We got stood up by this “Private Boat Tour” = Lisbon Boat Tout. Our booking was confirmed but they apparently decided to have a NO Show, and No contacting us at all. We arrived early thought to be on time, turned out we waited for a good 40 minutes outdoors, no cover, no bathroom, no calls, no apology. I’m still awaiting for the refund. However we feel that even the full refund can’t do the justice for what we have invested in this booking. This is absolutely unacceptable and disgusting. So NO, we won’t recommend.

My daughter and cousin...

Leslie_k, Aug 2022

My daughter and cousin went with me for this cruise around the river, Paolo and Mathilde the skipper and mate were friendly and even shared some history of the area we were in. They spoke English and were very accommodating positioning the boat to get the best angle for our pictures. We highly recommend for a wonderful sunset cruise!

A moment out of time!

Louise_C, Jul 2025

This experience was a real wonder. Sailing aboard a sailboat allows you to discover the sea differently: you feel every movement, carried by the wind and waves. It is both impressive and magical. Paulo, our pilot and his co-pilot were lovely, very welcoming and Paulo spoke good French. They even served us a delicious wine on board. The sunset was splendid, a timeless moment. But the real surprise, the nugget of the outing: the dolphins 🐬! I didn’t expect it at all and yet we were lucky enough to see a large number swimming close to the boat for several minutes. An absolutely breathtaking moment, especially since it seems that it is not often. Finally, the historical explanations shared on board really enriched the experience. An unforgettable memory!
