Ricky ended up being our skipper for the day and he was a great guide! Couldn’t fault the whole experience - a great memory.”

You and up to 11 companions sail from Doca de Alcântara toward Cascais on a private catamaran. Expect Tagus sights, deck time, a swim near the Estoril coast, grilled meats, charcuterie, dessert, and four drinks per person. Vegetarian meals require advance notice.

“Great trip, the crew were attentive, and very nice. A great swim.... the boat was clean and well kept and safety was important which is good. Marta gave me all the details and kept in touch before hand with a number to call which was handy given we couldn’t find the check in dock. Hard part was finding the location to check in as it was not signed as Marlin tours. Also.. the veggie option was not good, please change it... then everything would be perfect as our BBQ was lovely and inexpensive. Thank you!”

You board a private sailboat or power catamaran at Doca do Bom Sucesso for two hours on the Tagus. A skipper handles the boat, points out Lisbon sights, and provides water or a soft drink. Bring your own picnic, add a sunset departure, and share the boat with up to eight people.

“We had a great experience! The weather was good, for an additional cost of 50 euros we also brought our own food and drinks to have a picnic on the boat at sunset. The day we booked it was predicted to rain. I had emailed the organization and was able to easily move our booking to a day earlier. The 2 men who were on board with us to drive the sailboat were also very friendly. They shared some highlights visible on the coast, helped pour wine and took pictures when we asked. Thoroughly enjoyed it and would recommend anyone to book such a beautiful boat trip.Read more”
