John and Antonio were wonderful. John was incredibly knowledgeable, personable, and fun. They offered recommendations on restaurants, places to see and were very attentive. I would highly recommend this boat tour with John and Antonio.

Great views of the city

Fiona_M, Oct 2025
Great experience, fun way to see the city all the team are very nice and friendly , the wine on board was well priced and great quality.

Not sure if I’d recommend...

Gregg_S, Sep 2025
Not sure if I’d recommend this experience to others. It was okay. We didn’t really sail. We motored the entire time but a crew member did put the main sail up.

Response from Host, Sep 2025

I’m sorry you feel this way. Due to strong currents or strong winds we sometimes need to go with the motor on for safety reasons and so the tour can be done within the 2 hours.

Paul and John were great...

Beautiful Sunset Cruise

LJ_R, Jul 2025
What a fantastic trip! Paulo was an extraordinary tour guide with plenty of details about Lisbon. Danielle was a great driver. This is a fantastic way to see many of the big sites in Lisbon.

Sunset cruise was a highlight of our trip

Angela_C, Jun 2025
Wow, just wow! Great tour and even better guide. It was a beautiful, windy evening and it was literally picture perfect. We had a delay in arriving and they were very kind and accommodating. Met some really super nice people 😘

We had such an amazing...

Angela_L, Dec 2024
We had such an amazing experience! It started with a welcoming drink as the boat headed out, and we got to see the MAAT Museum, the 25 de Abril Bridge and more. The group was small and intimate, which made it feel really special. We were lucky to enjoy the ride from the front of the boat all to ourselves. They timed it perfectly, so we got back to shore just as the sun went down. The sunset was stunning. Antonio was so friendly and even gave us an extra glass of wine and sparkling water for free. It was perfect!

Very Good

Malia_H, Nov 2024
The staff were incredibly helpful and attentive. This tour is a great way to see Lisbon from the water and experience an amazing sunset!

Brian_M, Jul 2024
We had a really nice time. The captain offered lots of information re the sights we passed. Even saw a few dozen dolphins swimming near the boat. I think the capacity is 8-10. We had 7 guests I believe. Highly recommend!

Book This Sunset Sail!

New way to stole

Hector_Q, May 2023
Nothing memorable Wrong information Low level of response Company did not repley fast and clearly Was the worst expereince ever Ill never recomend viator as a safe place to book services

Response from Host, May 2023

This is just the most unfair review ever. You did not go to the right place when the instructions are as clear as water and you didn’t make it to the tour. If you didn’t do the tour you can’t review it.

Stellar sunset sailing!

LouisaD, May 2023

Jeanne_N, Apr 2023
Issac and Pedro gave us an amazing evening! The location was easy to find and communication was great! We had a wonderful cruise up and down the river and the crew was friendly and informative, as well as funny and caring. We would highly recommend this cruise as a way to see the city and sunset!

Fab-u-lous!

Alison_T, Apr 2023
