*Benny and John made the boat tour an amazing experience. Our family learned about Portuguese history while taking in the beautiful views of Lisbon (even better from the water). I would highly recommend taking a cruise with them. Enjoyable conversations and smooth sailing is the perfect way to enjoy Lisbon!

What a wonderful experience with Palmayachts!!! They provided excellent service communication and experience. Highly recommended and a must to consider while in Lisbon.

Wonderful view of Lisbon from the Tagus River

James_H, Nov 2024

We took a three hour sail on the Tagus river with a terrific water side view of historic Lisbon. We were a bit late as Uber had some difficulty getting us to the correct dock, but the crew was most helpful on the phone and made sure we got underway with minimal delay. We also had a late November booking and some weather to contend with. The company was more than accommodating and helped us reschedule after a rainstorm. Highly recommended tour and excellent way to see the sights of Lisbon. I also suggest scheduling early in your visit as the tour provides an perfect way to plan additional city asventures.

Captain Benny and Antonio made the trip great. They were a wealth of information, but most importantly were genuinely nice and fun people. The sailing was tons of fun and gave a view of Lisbon that was even more beautiful than walking the streets. I highly recommend taking a sale.

Fueron muy amables y estuvieron muy pendientes haciendo que nuestra experiencia fuera lo mejor posible. El único inconveniente que nos ofrecieron cambiar la hora, aceptamos y nos ajustamos a ese horario pero no se actualizó la reserva, por lo que finalmente tuvimos que llamar para que nos la cambiaran a la hora que nos habían propuesto. Volveríamos a repetir porque fue muy buena experiencia!
