Lisbon: Best Views from a Sailboat-Sunset or Day Shared Tour
Description
Experience Lisbon from its most privileged viewpoint — the Tagus River. Step aboard our sailing yacht and discover the city's most iconic landmarks from the water, away from the crowds. Sailing from Santo Amaro Dock, you'll enjoy stunning views of Praça do Comércio, Alfama, Castelo, Chiado and Baixa before crossing to the south bank for panoramic views of Lisbon and the impressive Cristo Rei statue. We'll sail beneath the iconic 25 de Abril Bridge towards Belém, where you'll admire Belém Tower and the Monument to the Discoveries. Relax with a complimentary drink (wine, beer or water), take unforgettable photos and enjoy the welcoming atmosphere on board. Our small-group experience offers a more personal and authentic way to discover Lisbon. Choose the sunset option to watch the city glow in golden light while sailing on the Tagus — a truly memorable Lisbon experience.

A magnificent way to discover Lisbon, in the softness of a sunset over the Tagus. Thanks to the crew for their welcome, and bravo for the mastery of so many foreign languages (there were 3 couples during our tour and Teresa managed to share her explanations in French, Spanish, and German without difficulty). A very beautiful experience!

We had a great relaxing time on the sunset cruise. We loved seeing the sights from the water. Sipping wine and enjoying the view. Unfortunately, the clouds weren’t cooperating to see a full sunset. Luisa , our guide brought the sun. She was wonderful. Thank you for making our family vacation special.

Although the views were really great, we didn’t know what we were watching . I booked a tour in Spanish but no one talked to us in Spanish. Worth it only if you speak Portuguese or English . I feel I was ripped off
Dear Adriana, Thank you for your feedback. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed the views of Lisbon from the river. On the day of your tour, our Spanish-speaking guide unfortunately had an unforeseen commitment and could not be present. The crew who stepped in did their very best to provide explanations and ensure that everyone had an enjoyable and relaxing sailing experience. During the tour, it seemed to us that you were enjoying the experience and taking in the beautiful views of Lisbon, so we are sorry to learn afterwards that the language aspect did not fully meet your expectations. We appreciate your comments and will continue working to provide the best possible experience for all our guests. Thank you for joining us and we wish you a wonderful stay in Lisbon.
