Highlight of Lisbon!!

This was such an incredible experience. Did this as my birthday celebration with some friends, and I couldn't be happier. Fun, beautiful, and Mario made it so special. He went above and beyond to make sure we were well taken care of and enjoyed ourselves. He chose a great wine, provided very tasty snacks, and delicious pastel de natas. The boat was a great size, perfect for 7 of us and can fit up to 8 guests, so it stays an intimate experience. There is proper seating in the back, or Mario has attached cushions to sit in the front. Mario and his son are also such lovely people. You can feel how much they love what they do. They made this the highlight of my trip and highly recommend taking this tour with Mario!

Thank you so much for such a wonderful and thoughtful review. It truly means a lot to us to know that you chose to celebrate your birthday with us and that we could help make it such a special memory. It was an absolute pleasure having you and your friends on board. We always want our guests to feel relaxed, well looked after, and at home from the moment they step onto the boat, so reading your words about the wine, snacks, pastéis de nata, and the atmosphere makes us very happy. Sharing these moments on the river is something we genuinely love, and having guests like you makes the experience even more special for us too. Thank you for your kindness, your recommendation, and for allowing us to be part of your birthday celebration and your time in Lisbon. We hope to welcome you back on board one day for another beautiful moment together! Warm regards, Mario & Family

Great smaller sailboat trip with nice crew

We had an amazing time on the Água Levana with captain Mario and his son! The meet up was easy. We were the only ones to book that day, so just the two of us and our crew. We set out from the harbor on motor and then sailed to the 25 de Abril bridge and back. My boyfriend and I sail at home and enjoy the quiet, slow pace of being under sail. We had a lovely sail down the river and saw some great views of Lisbon from the water. The boat is well kept. Mario is very knowledgeable about local history and culture. We had a lovely bottle of wine and plate of tapas! The listing just said “glass”, but it is more. Even had a lovely Pastel de Nata! 10 out of 10!

A Magical Sunset on the Tagus Aboard Águalevada

A truly magical sunset on the Tagus River aboard the Águalevada, Picoto Boat. The golden light over Lisbon, the calm of sailing, and the beauty of the river made it an unforgettable experience. A very special thank you to both Mários for their kindness, professionalism, and for making the whole trip so memorable.
