We booked Sailing with Sal after watching Michael Portillo's visit to Lisbon on television. We are so glad we did! Miguel, the captain, was excellent company with a great sense of humour and we enjoyed many laughs. He was also proved to be very knowledgeable about the history and many sights of Lisbon. Mariana was his extremely capable assistant. They both made us all feel very safe and comfortable. We were treated to a complimentary glass of local wine and cold beer. So relaxing! Viewing Lisbon and its coastline from the sea is a truly unique experience and definitely not to be missed. Thank you Miguel and Mariana.
Thank you for your wonderful review! It was a pleasure to welcome you aboard. I’m glad you enjoyed the time on the water, the stories of Lisbon, and the laughs along the way. I’ll share your kind words with Mariana, and we hope to welcome you back whenever you’re next in Lisbon. Fair winds!
We are 2 couples and together hired Miguels beautiful sailing yacht to take us on a day tour from Lisbon to Cascais and return. Miguel, our experienced Skipper,and the lovely Beatriz, looked after us well, with liquid refreshments and nibbles, sharing information on the beautiful coastline and many other interesting facts and friendly chatter. Whilst the tide was against us, we did manage to enjoy a part of the journey under sail. The boat was very comfortable ...we had a couple of hours to explore Cascais before returning to Lisbon. A truly delightful day Many thanks to both
Thank you so much for this wonderful review! 😊 It was truly a pleasure to spend the day with you all sailing along the coast to Cascais. We’re very happy you enjoyed the boat, the relaxed atmosphere on board, and the time exploring Cascais as part of the journey. Even with the tide making things a little more challenging, we’re glad we still managed to enjoy some sailing together. Thank you as well for your lovely company throughout the day — it honestly felt like sailing with friends. We hope to welcome you back on board someday for another adventure on the Portuguese coast! ⛵
Amazing scenic sail, getting a unique view of the city, sites, and monuments. Miguel and his crew were excellent.
Thank you so much, Scott! There really are no bad days on the water 😊 It was a pleasure having you aboard and sharing Lisbon from the best angle possible. Hope to welcome you back for another sail someday!
Miguel and his daughter Bea were excellent hosts. They provided our family with a safe, fun and educational evening trip. The sailboat was very clean and maintained. I would highly recommend them for your sailing adventure and water tour of Portugal!

Bea and I loved sharing this moment with you, and we truly appreciate your recommendation. Wishing you all the best, and hopefully we’ll see you again for another sail in the future!

Miguel and his son made our honeymoon sailboat tour AMAZING! Not only were they extremely friendly, we had full glasses of wine and snacks in hand the entire time. We also enjoyed the history of the city and knowledge they gave us. I would book this tour over and over again!!! We could not have asked for a better tour of Lisbon with lots of thought and love into making our trip special. Thank you!!!
Thank you Kaylee for the really awesome review. You both were the kindest guests ever, and made our job really easy. Wishing you a happy and great life together and hope to see you sometime in the future back on the boat! 😀
