This sunset boat cruise was an unforgettable experience from start to finish. As we glided across the water, the views were absolutely stunning—golden light reflecting off the waves, the sky shifting through shades of orange, pink, and purple. The wine selection was good and perfectly complemented the relaxed, elegant atmosphere on board. What truly set this cruise apart, though, was the exceptional service. The crew was warm, attentive, and genuinely about making the evening special, always ready with a refill, a recommendation, or a friendly conversation. It was the perfect blend of luxury and comfort, and a beautiful way to experience the sunset. Highly recommended for a memorable and relaxing evening.

Bruno, Francisco and the other young guy (sorry can’t remember his name) were excellent hosts! They were very kind and helpful with our young kids and even let my oldest “drive” for a bit. We appreciated the wine, juice boxes and snacks plus the interesting facts + tips about Lisbon. Definitely recommend.

We had an unforgettable sailing tour in Lisbon with John and David—what an incredible experience! From the moment we stepped on board, they made us feel so welcome and at ease. Their warmth and hospitality truly set the tone for a relaxing and memorable day on the water. As we sailed along the river, they shared fascinating insights into Lisbon’s rich history, pointing out landmarks like the iconic bridge, the beautiful coastline, and sharing the story behind the impressive Monument of the Cross. Their knowledge and passion for the city made the tour both fun and educational. My husband enjoyed delicious snacks and refreshing green wine, while they were incredibly thoughtful in accommodating me with special snacks and drinks since I’m six months pregnant. We also had some lovely conversations throughout the day—it felt more like sailing with friends than a formal tour. A huge thank you to both John and David for such a lovely and personalized experience. If you’re looking for a unique and meaningful way to see Lisbon, this sailing tour is a must!

We selected the small group option to allow for a more personal experience! We hit the jackpot! Captain John and Nita were the best! They made our trip something we will remember forever. They were so helpful and attentive. The dick staff helped us with arranging storage if our luggage to facilitate a smooth transfer to our cruise ship afterwards. We could not ask for more!

What an amazing day and experience. It was just myself and one other passenger and we had a blast. Our captains were fun, informative, and let us drive the boat and always kept our wine topped off! I loved the day, I'd highly recommend it and I hope to do it again!
