Itinerary
Cascais Bay is one of the most iconic views of the Portuguese coast — a natural, sheltered bay framed by sandy beaches, elegant seaside palaces, and historic fortresses. Once a strategic haven for fishermen and royal yachts, today it offers calm waters perfect for sailing and sightseeing. From the sea, enjoy a unique perspective of the old town, the Santa Marta Lighthouse, and the coastline that made Cascais a favorite retreat of kings and explorers.
Santa Marta Lighthouse is one of Cascais’ most picturesque landmarks. Built in the 19th century on the site of a former coastal fort, it stands at the entrance to Cascais Bay with its striking white-and-blue tower. Today, it houses a small museum and offers panoramic views of the Atlantic. Seen from the sea, it marks the perfect blend of military history, maritime tradition, and coastal beauty — a true highlight of any cruise along the Estoril Coast.
Boca do Inferno (Hell’s Mouth) is a dramatic sea cave carved into the cliffs just west of Cascais. Shaped by centuries of Atlantic waves crashing into the rock, it’s famous for its powerful blowhole and thunderous sound during rough seas. A symbol of nature’s raw force, it offers one of the most striking coastal views in Portugal. From the water, its jagged cliffs and deep chasm are even more impressive — a must-see highlight of any coastal cruise.
Guia Lighthouse stands proudly atop the cliffs west of Cascais, guiding ships safely along the Portuguese coast since the 18th century. Surrounded by pine trees and facing the Atlantic, it marks one of the most scenic points on the Estoril coastline. From the sea, its white tower is a striking sight, symbolizing centuries of maritime tradition and the natural beauty of the rugged shoreline.
Fort of Santo António da Barra is one of the most important coastal fortresses near Lisbon, built in the late 16th century to defend the entrance to the Tagus River. Located in Estoril, this impressive structure once housed King Dom Carlos’s summer residence. From the sea, its robust walls and strategic position offer a glimpse into Portugal’s military and royal maritime history, standing as a powerful sentinel above the waves.

Nice little tour in the bay of Cascais with an adorable crew (captain + guide) who took great care of us.
Just the best place to stay in Portugal. 30-40 minutes to Lisbon, Sintra and other towns to explore. We stayed at Fortaleza do Guincho which is right on the ocean. The beach is magical one the best oceans the staff went well beyond to make us feel at home and spoiled us completely. Our favorite town was Cascais and sintra. Lisbon was wonderful, but it is a city. Crowded. We recommend a tour on the river for the sites and a tuk tuk tour for sintra to see all the palaces castles and historical sites of this fairy tale town. Also the wines and wineries were great here. Grilled octopus out of this world. Come now!
Gabi has explained everything in very good English and in a nice way the history. Compliments!
Wonderful! Well worth your time and money.
Very cozy, informative and well arranged. Plenty of space with a small group. Friendly touring guides.
Wonderful 1958 vintage fishing boat with a very friendly crew that shared historic details of Portugal and the Cascais sea coast. Highly recommend!!
We were able to book 10 minutes before the cruise (which we were not supposed to be able to). The boat had already left, but they came back for us. Good service! The crew was friendly, and the guide was a good communicator. She answered questions as well, and was knowledgeable.
Absolutely incredible crew. Delicious beer. Sangria from the tap. Gabby was an extremely knowledgeable guide and presented a fascinating history of the area.
We had the best time yesterday with Capt. Rui and his fabulous team. Always a delight to be on the water, and to hear about the history of this beautiful country and its very kind people. Thanks for a wonderful time! Highly recommend! The Roberts family
What a wonderful history lesson we received from Gabby! The whole crew was very attentive. We were the only passengers and so glad it wasn’t canceled. Gabby spent so much time telling us about the history of the area, plus Portugal. It was a bright, sunny day with cool breezes.
