This was such a lovely chilled, friendly way to see the sunset from the river. Lovely crew, generous amounts of wine (!), great playlist, warm friendly atmosphere and the traditional boat was a bonus. Smaller group and not a “party” vibe - just lovely. Top trip - book it!!

Itinerary

Your evening on the water begins at a convenient location in the center of Lisbon: Meet your vessel near Commerce Square (Praça do Comércio), and hop aboard. Rather than an anonymous yacht, you’ll travel in style aboard a hand-painted, historic ship.

Once you set sail on the Tagus River, fill your glass with local white wine, and enjoy a celebratory way to mark the occasion (or make a romantic toast); you’ll have the opportunity to refill it as the journey continues.

Find a prime viewing spot on the ship while it’s still light out, and glide under the city’s iconic 25 de Abril Bridge. You can also take photos of highlights like the Belém Tower (Torre de Belém), Castelo de Sao Jorge (St. George’s Castle), and Lisbon Cathedral (Sé de Lisboa). As you go, your on-board host will share in-depth stories about the landmarks in several languages.

Finally, to cap off the experience, take in views of the Lisbon sunset that are even better than what you can see from the shore. Once darkness descends, disembark directly at your starting point.

Natalya_M

We had an absolutely wonderful time on the sunset boat tour—it was truly one of the highlights of our trip. The views were breathtaking, especially as the sun began to set and cast beautiful colors across the water and skyline. The atmosphere on board was relaxed and enjoyable, with just the right balance of comfort and fun. The crew was friendly, attentive, and made sure everyone felt welcome and taken care of throughout the entire experience. It was the perfect way to unwind and take in the beauty of the surroundings from a different perspective. I highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a memorable and peaceful experience—don’t miss it!

Robert_S, Jul 2026

Nice cruise along the Tagus to take in some of the sights if Lisbon including the bridge, Discovery monument and Belém fortress. Great guide, but very much a crowded experience so expect it to be very loud and very cramped.

Change your mind as a fishmen

TranTrung_L, Jun 2026

You should try this trip. With a traditional boat you could feel like a fishmen doing your job. Becarefull with a little bit of ưave, wet salt but funny as you can image. Try this, never regret.

David_G, Jun 2026

Very relaxing cruise in a tradional boat. A great way to see Lisbon from the water and also see the sunset.

Do not use this tour operator false advertisement

ingrid_s, Jun 2026

This your left 30 minutes late which would have been no big deal but it was suppose to be two hours long and they came back to dock after one hour and ten minutes with zero explanation. In addition, it said free flowing wine which ran out at the 50 minute mark. Do not do this tour with this company, it did not live up to the promise in which I will be charging back the cost.

Do your homework

TERENCE_S, Jun 2026

It's a 42 seating and it's cramped needs less people On our particular tour the microphone wasn't working we couldn't hear let them know if they could turn down the loud music so we at the back could hear but they didn't bother

One of the best ways to see Lisbon!!

Abby_P, May 2026

This was such a top/notch experience in Lisbon. Everyone on the tour was so friendly. I loved enjoying golden hour and sunset from this vantage point of Lisbon. I truly think it’s one of the best ways to see the city! The guides were so helpful, and the drinks were plentiful!!

Good trip , good value.

DAVID_H, May 2026

The departure point of the trip changed but the vendor kept us fully informed. The trip was enjoyed by all in our party and the wine offered was pretty tasty too. The PA system was not working on the boat , so no commentary during the trip but that did not bother our party . All in all , worth the money. We had a great sunset too.

Do not use this operator

Wayne_V, May 2026

We went to the location given to us via emails and text. Agreed to time to meet was 6:15, we were there at 5:50. Did not see anyone and went to the information desk to find where the operator was parked. She told us the operator no longer uses this location and they should have contacted me. We tried to call the operator 7 times , no answer. The lady ate the info desk tried to call the operator at least 6 times and no answer. The operator sent me a text the next day saying he was sorry we did not make the boat. I sent a reply text as I stated above. He then replied saying they changed location and they tried calling me, sent texts to me and sent a message on what’s up. I looked at all my calls and was no phone call to me. If they tried to call they should have left a voice mail. No voice mails I do not use what’s up. I have asked for a refund but no reply on that!!!!!!! I do not do business this way and certainly do like being lied to!

Chelsea_A, Apr 2026

I loved the whole experience!! Good communication. I went solo, had 3/4 white wine refills (they also have red wine), and I ended the evening with 4 other lovely women. 10/10 experience for my last day in Lisbon

Not a Bad Sea in the Boat

Barb_C, Apr 2026

Fun, fun, fun! Our guide, Elisa, spoke with every person on the boat while narrating the sunset cruise in three languages. Regardless of where you sit, you can get a great picture of the sights. Lots of wine, good music, singing, and fun people.

Relaxing evening

John_Z, Apr 2026

Just a nice experience; great crew, nice older sail/fishing boat ( using engine for cruise ) .... Beautiful sunset; nice music; intelligent staff..

DO NOT BOOK ! Worst experience of my life.

Lalit_P, Apr 2026

I would strongly advise anyone thinking about booking this sunset cruise to save their money and, more importantly, their safety. What was supposed to be a relaxing evening turned into a stressful and genuinely hazardous experience from the moment we arrived. Security and safety are clearly not a priority for this operator. The boarding process was absolute chaos at a poorly lit, overcrowded pier with no staff directing the crowd. Once on board, I was horrified to see the boat was packed far beyond what looked like a safe capacity. There was no safety briefing, and I couldn't even spot where the life jackets were kept. To make matters worse, there was zero security. Feeling trapped on a wooden boat in the middle of the Tagus with a crew that seemed indifferent to passenger counts is a recipe for disaster. The logistics were equally abysmal. The "meeting point" instructions were completely wrong, leading a group of us to wander aimlessly while the operator ignored our urgent WhatsApp messages. When we finally found the boat, the "traditional" charm turned out to be a lack of basic maintenance. The deck was slippery, the bathrooms were foul, and the "white wine" was cheap, lukewarm vinegar served in flimsy plastic cups. Please do not prioritize payment over well-being. Don't be fooled by the glossy photos - this is an unorganized, overbooked, and unsafe operation. If you value your safety and your sanity, do not book this trip.

Beautiful evening on the water. A wonderful way to end the day.

Becky_M, Apr 2026

We really enjoyed this sunset cruise. The crew was friendly, fun, and knowledgeable, and the beautiful old boat made the whole experience feel special. The free‑flowing wine and great music set the perfect vibe. It struck just the right balance between a light, informative tour (ideal if you only have a few days in Lisbon but want to lay eyes on many of the major sights) and simply relaxing and enjoying the river at golden hour.

Fun on the river

tina_P, Apr 2026

We had great fun on this lovely old boat. The wine was free flowing and the young girl who gave the commentary was excellent.

Beautiful sunsets and views of shorelines

BruceDAmora, Apr 2026

Fun cruise with beautiful sunsets. Cruised up and down the Tejos river sipping wine and enjoying the views

Wonderful & unique boat ride on the Tagus!

MaryAnn_W, Apr 2026

Wonderful crew, beautiful old wooden boat and lovely views. Wine was generously outed and overall a low key sunset experience. We enjoyed the evening!

Enjoyable boat ride

Edna_M, Apr 2026

This was a fun sunset tour. Dress warm the wind is strong on the river. Nice wine and good commentary.

Lisbon boat and wine

Elise_S, Apr 2026

We loved the boat ride and wine. It was very smooth and I was so happy there was a restroom on the boat! A great way for my son and I to spend time together in Lisbon.

Not enough seating

Barb_G, Apr 2026

I really enjoyed the cruise, I was extremely disappointed that several of us had no seats, Just a piece of board not wide enough for our bums. It was very uncomfortable The staff were very friendly

The weather looked rainy...

Daja_P, Apr 2026

The weather looked rainy and cold and I asked if we could change to a future day and was informed there was no other options. So we did the cruise and there was no cover and two of our members suffered hypothermia from the rain and then the cold wind.

Sunset boat trip before the sun sets

JaniceChiu, Apr 2026

When we got back to the shore, the sun has not even set. The tour should at least operate according to the sunset schedule if it is called sunset boat trip.

Great, really impressed

Carrie_M, Apr 2026

The boat didn't have the bench seats from the picture, which we had hoped for as I have mobility issues. We were pleasantly surprised though. It was busy, music and wine was good, and there was enough commentary about the sights. It was a great way to end our trip to Lisbon.

Gonca_N, Mar 2026

Great sunset boat tour. Crew and guide are so kind and friendly. Amazing view of city including Belem tower, MAAT and bridge

Great way to see Lisbon....

Ray_C, Mar 2026

Great way to see Lisbon. We had a perfect sunny evening. The ticketing process was a little confusing but we were able to find the coordinator outside to pickup the tickets.

Friendly guide and amazing sunset!

ChakYun_T, Feb 2026

The guide is very friendly and informative. She told us a lot about the background and history of the iconic sites and buildings. Since it was raining at noon, so only 3 of us joined the tour. The sunset view was fantastic!
