“We had interesting conversations and learned history about Lisbon”
Lisbon 90-min Tagus sunset catamaran with music, blankets, and a welcome drink. 25 April Bridge and Belém Tower from the water.
“It was such a lovely experience. The boat is incredible and was my first time on a catamaran. Lying on the nets itself on the boat was a highlight of the trip. We were initially concerned that this was not guided but honestly it was nice to just lounge around and see the sights and not work your brain, especially after a hectic day. The boat took us to all the major sights and gave a beautiful view of the sunset. The music was great (what a mix!) and the welcome drink very tasty. 11/10 would recommend”

“After "booking" your day/time, you'll need to wait a day or so to receive a confirmation email from the actual company. This was a little odd, but after receiving our confirmation email maybe a day or so before our sailing, we were all set! We sat in the main area, next to the captain. He was so chill and friendly, offering fun facts on the area and the earthquake and its impact on the horizon of the Lisbon port. The weather was warm the week we went (usually in the 80's), so we wore shorts / t-shirts and were fine. Maybe bring a light jacket if you're cold. Once the…”

“I went here 3 years ago with my friends, and now I came back with my family. We had the same amazing guide, and we had once again a wonderful time. It's in small company so you can have a chat with other travellers, they give you amazing green wine all of the time and we even saw dolphins. It's the best sunset cruise you can have and if I would come back I would 100% book it again. The best company! Memories for life.”

Every kind of day out, and the best of each.
