It was very nice and chill cruise. There are different types in Lisbon. This is was nice because it was a small group of 8 and we got to enjoy the scenery. Teresa did give us some facts along the way but it was more sit back and relax, which we loved! Highly recommend

I had booked this for a day when rain was expected. At the very last moment I asked if I could move it to three days before and they said yes! My in-laws went with us to humor me but they didn’t think they would enjoy it. Yet, they raved about how wonderful it was! We all really enjoyed it. Luisa and Jose were fantastic. Loved all of the info they imparted. Stunning sunset. I highly recommend it!

This was a beautiful and...

Jenifer_J, Apr 2026
This was a beautiful and relaxing way to experience Lisbon from the water. The group was very small—just three of us—which made it feel personal and peaceful. The team onboard was great: friendly, attentive, and thoughtful. It was a cooler evening, and they proactively provided blankets, which made a big difference. They also had drink holders so you didn’t have to keep holding your glass the entire time—such a small detail, but really appreciated. While it’s not a guided tour, they did share some light commentary about the city, which added nice context without taking away from the laid-back vibe. The views of Lisbon—especially the old town—were stunning from the river. The only slight downside was the sunset portion. As the sun was going down, we were passing a shipping yard, so the view was partially blocked by containers at times. It didn’t ruin the experience, but it’s worth noting if you’re expecting a completely unobstructed sunset. Overall, it was a really enjoyable and calming experience, and I’d definitely recommend it if you’re looking for something low-key and scenic.

Perfect Sail

Bernadette_T, Apr 2026
This was such a treat! Theresa and José were excellent hosts and we had a relaxing sunset cruise. We were so lucky to have gorgeous weather with an almost full moon rising while we sipped our wine and beer and listened to the water and sails. Theresa was so easy to talk to and gave us information about the sights we passed but also respected the relaxing nature of the trip. Highly recommend!

Response from Host, Apr 2026

For anyone visiting Lisbon, this is truly one of the most memorable ways to experience the city. We would love to welcome you back on board someday ⛵

Response from Host, Apr 2026

Dear Giselle, Thank you so much for your amazing review! We’re really happy we could adjust your booking and make this experience happen for you — sometimes the best moments come from last-minute changes ✨ Whenever possible, and depending on availability, we always try to be flexible, especially when the weather doesn’t cooperate — so our guests can enjoy the best possible experience 🌅 It’s especially rewarding to hear that even your in-laws, who weren’t expecting much, ended up loving the experience — that truly means a lot to us! Sharing a sunset on the Tagus River, with great company and a relaxed atmosphere, is something we believe every Lisbon visitor should experience ✨ Thank you again for your kind words about Luisa and José — we’ll be sure to pass them along! We’d love to welcome you all back on board someday ⛵

Wine and Sailing!

We had a great boat ride! The weather wasn't perfect and our guide called to make sure we were still interested. They were so helpful with our 8 month old and I enjoy asking questions about what we were seeing as well as Portuguese culture. Highly recommend this trip!

Wonderful cruise on the sailboat with just four passengers!

PARIS, Sep 2025
We very much enjoyed this trip. The experience of sailing the Tagus was absolutely beautiful. The tour guide was full of interesting information and that made this even more special.

Cruising down the Tagus River.

Francisco_S, Sep 2025
Relaxing cruise on the river Tagus in a small group with special attention from Luisa (Shipmate) and Jose (Captain) which made the experience entertaining. Just ensure to bring a jacket because the wind makes it very chilly. Definitely recommend this tour.

Sunset sail- magnificent

Deana_M, Sep 2025
My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed this beautiful sunset sail with Teresa and Jose. They were amazing. This is a must do if you’re here in Lisbon. Some really awesome restaurants to eat at after along the harbour.

Perfect evening in the Tagus!

Kim_C, Aug 2025
Wonderful sailing experience on the Tagus River with our two daughters! Perfect in every way! The wine and snacks were great, and it was so relaxing watching the sunset and seeing the sites of Lisbon from the water!

ERIC_H, May 2025
Theresa made sure we were all comfortable as our trip started with rain. She provided ponchos and blankets for our 1830- 2030 ride on the Tagus. They motor you down to Belem Tower and up by the Alfama neighborhood before returning to the Harbor. I think there were 9 of us sitting snuggly together on this windy night. They provided some wine, cheese, crackers and prosciutto (or similar pork product) after passing back from Belem. Theresa provided light commentary and would answer any of our questions. She spoke English, Portuguese and German with our fellow travelers. The sails were not used during our particular experience. I would recommend for a casual sailing experience. Sit back and enjoy the views of Lisbon.

Fantastic sailing experience

Amanda_G, May 2025
Sailing through the Tagus at sunset is very romantic, a beautiful experience. You are reminded how important the Tagus river is for the city. Teresa is wonderful, and takes care of every detail, making sure guest are comfortable, safe and guided.

Viewing Lisbon from the water is a must do!

Kristine_C, Mar 2025
Teresa and her husband were absolutely lovely. They hosted us and 4 others (max 8 guests) on their beautiful sailboat for a sunset cruise. It is amazing to see Lisbon from the water! It’s a totally different perspective. Teresa gave just the right amount of insight about what we were passing. Very welcoming and friendly - they provided wine beer water and soda along with a snack of cheese crackers and meat. This was the highlight of our trip so far.

Delightful boat ride

Maggie_M, Dec 2024
This boat cruise was a nice relaxing getaway! Teresa was very accommodating and provided us with blankets and interesting information. The views were spectacular:) and the cheese and ham was delicious. In the winter it’s a little chilly but still beautiful and they make sure you keep warm

Great hosts, boat was great, very informative and knowledgeable. Had a great time on the water. Everything we were expecting.

Terrific evening on the water.

Whitney_S, Oct 2024
We loved the scenic ride along both sides of the river, along with great historical callouts! The weather even turned dicey, but the crew was very professional in keeping us all safe and comfortable. Our party size was lovely, we had nice conversations with our fellow passengers.

Relaxing and romantic sunset trip

Very relaxing and informative experience. We did this trip for our honeymoon and it was excellent. Romantic.

Great Evening Cruise

A wonderful cruise along the Tagrus! Good information shared, wine enjoyed, and delightful hosts. Be on time! Gate 1 is directly under the bridge.

A wonderfully relaxing way to see Lisbon from the magnificent river.

Andrew_D, Jul 2024
A really lovely relaxing sunset cruise around Lisbon. Warm and knowledgable hosts, well organised, beautiful sailing boat and a nice small group. A few glasses of wine and some snacks. A perfect way to see Lisbon from the river and wonderfully relaxing.

Lisa_N, Jul 2024
Booked as a birthday trip with my friends. The hosts were very friendly. It was cold but they provided blankets along with drinks and small bits to eat.

Great way to see Lisbon!

Brenda_T, Jul 2024
Beautiful, relaxing cruise! We were able to experience Lisbon from the water and see some of the most famous sites up close.

Excellent way to end out vacation in Lisbon

Melinda_S, Jun 2024
It wasn't "true" sailing because they had to use the motor along with the sails, but we would not have been able to see as much if we had only been under sail power. It was fun to see the Monument of the Discoveries and Belem Tower from the river, and we saw many other points of interest. The tapas were yummy, and the guides were very happy to answer all our questions. Highly recommend!!
