Great sailboat ride on the Tagus River

Wonderful sailboat ride on the Tagus River. Sal and Lorenzo treated my daughter and me like queens. The sailboat is very comfortable, the views are magnificent, and the sun and wind were perfect. Do not miss this trip.

Nos alegra muchísimo saber que os sentisteis como reinas — ¡así es como debe ser! 😉⛵ Gracias por vuestra recomendación y esperamos volver a veros algún día en Lisboa.

Lisbon’s seafaring history by boat.

This is a lovely way to see Lisbon’s seafaring history. Our captain and crew were very friendly and informative. The wine was crisp and refreshing. We did two hours on the wide saltwater river. It was perfect.

Highlight of our visit to Lsbon

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.

Operator response

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!

Special time on a glorious sailing yacht in excellent company

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

Operator response

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! ⛵
