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.

We had THE BEST experience! Skipper HENRY was awesme and David was super! The Knowledge, FUN and keeping us safe was over the top!! A must go if you’re in Lisbon THANK YOU
Wonderful and friendly and fun and informative. Blue skies and warm winds with a glass of wine and thoughtful snacks made this day memorable. Marta and our captain were perfect!
We had a beautiful and fun trip with Henry and Marta. What a fantastic place to sail with so many interesting things to see. Our guides had great information and stories to tell about the history and culture of the places we sailed past. Great wine and snacks were served and they also shared details about favorite restaurants and places to visit that were off the beaten path. Highly recommend this adventure!
Fantastic experience with very personal and informative guides. Perfect for relaxing at the end of our trip
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.
Jose and David were exceptional! We really enjoyed their local knowledge, wine, and good company. It made our honeymoon very special.
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!
I got kudos for planning this tour as everyone in our group said it was the best they’d ever done. José and David were an absolute delight. Both extremely knowledgeable about Lisbon sites and its history, they kept us entertained for the duration of the tour. Frequent refills of Vinho Verde certainly helped. 😉. I highly recommend it.
Excellent experience! The crew was great and the support staff was wonderful. Since the weather wasn't good, we had to change the time of our sailing, but the team kept us informed.
Our group had an amazing time on this trip! We had the boat all to ourselves and enjoyed sailing along the river and seeing the beautiful sights. Our crew was great and we would label this a must do!
Great sail, staff did a wonderful job, very friendly and lots of local information we found very interesting.
An amazing experience! Beautiful views of Lisbon from the river. We were the only 3 passengers on a lovely sailing yacht and our hosts Joao and Henrique were very hospitable, helpful and brilliantly described points of historical and geographical interest. The free tasty wine and snacks were very much appreciated. Highly recommended
This was an absolutely lovely way to spend 2hrs! The boat was well spread out so everyone had space. The tour hosts were sooo welcoming, fun & knowledgeable. It was so relaxing & yet felt like we’d also done an activity too!! Fab wine (or minerals) too!!
John and his first mate were amazing!!! Very knowledgeable, professional, and most of all kind. I wish I could give them more stars!!! Truly amazing experience!
Such a great time!!! Definitely recommend we love Enriqué. They gave us super interesting information about Lisbon and we saw some super cool sights.
Absolutely fantastic experience! He was so kind and considerate with our young children and knowledgeable of the Lisboa history. Really couldn’t recommend higher.
Loved the delightful young men who kept us entertained with interesting facts and stories about Lisbon and the current state of affairs in Portugal. They were thoughtful, attentive and helpful and I highly recommend this tour.
This was pure joy! Bernardo and JP were the perfect hosts and so skilled at what they do! Our group of 4 of had the time of our lives sailing around the Lisbon area in full sail. 10 stars if we could!
A group of teens and young adults traveling during world youth day, spent the morning away from the crowds on the most delightful cruise. Everything we wanted was provided for as well as expert customer care.
Great views from the river and an excellent crew who was knowledgeable and witty and kept our wine, glasses full!
Our captain and his mate were so personable, and shared so much about the history of the buildings and communities surrounding the river, during our trip. They were also good about talking about the wines we enjoyed and there familiarity with the Daro Valley. A great trip, certainly.
The sailing experience was amazing in itself but the crew made it unforgettable! Joao and our Captain were outstanding hosts - sharing their knowledge with us whilst encouraging us to have as much fun as possible. Our glasses were always full, our music always blasting and we never stopped smiling! Our favourite activity out of our hen weekend and memories we’ll never forget 🫶🏼
Fantastic trip, great people, great views. Crew were well organised and knowledgable and were therefore able to share lots of facts about beautiful Lisbon. The sunset was beautiful and the wine was free flowing. I would definitely recommend this trip and I hope to return some day.
What an experience!! Highly recommend Rent A Boat. The captain was so accommodating, informative, friendly and a gracious host. This is a must for anyone who enjoys sailing. The views of Lisbon and surrounding area were fantastic. Can't wait to sail again when my family arrives in December.
Great tour, and lovely sail boat the team that took us out were great and catered to all our needs. Great way to see Lisbon
We got very unlucky with the weather but this trip ended up being one the best tours I’ve ever done, anywhere. The captain was hilarious and super knowledgeable. He served a delicious green wine that everyone thoroughly enjoyed. The sail boat was very nice with a bathroom. I would do this tour again.
We thoroughly enjoyed our cruise! The crew was friendly, attentive, knowledgeable, and fun! What a pleasurable way to see the sight along the river! I highly recommend this activity!
Our family recently did the 2 hour sail tour in Lisbon and had a magical time. The crew was superb! Friendly and engaging! We are travelling with a mix of family with kids from age 6 to 19 and everyone was made to feel like they were singled out for attention and given a little extra on the trip. The younger kids especially loved playing captain. We felt the tour was informative and relaxing! We all left knowing without a doubt we would return and rebook the tour in the future! Definitely a must for anyones travels in Lisbon.
Loved this so much! Amazing experience Just know: the "wine tasting" is just one type vinho verde with a lot of refills..
Everything’s so good we have a good memory the service Excellent👏👏👏 We really said yes everybody can try Amazing cool experience
We had an amazing day sailing on the Tagus River. View was beautiful, crew was knowledgeable and friendly and the wine was great. I highly recommend this 2 hour sailing trip.
We had a great time. The crew was experienced and fun. The boat was very clean and comfortable. The views incomparable! We’d do it again in a heartbeat.
An unforgettable sailing experience! We saw many popular sites during our afternoon sail, including a pod of dolphins. The skipper and crew were very knowledgeable and excellent hosts, even giving me a turn on the wheel. Book this excursion if you're looking for a fun sail around the bay and you will not be disappointed!
Great time sailing! Highly recommend. Very comfy with plenty of wine :) This was a wonderful option on a hot day. Escape the heat and crowds and see Lisbon from the water.
A very enjoyable 2 hour cruise with a captain and his first mate who were entertaining and charming. We enjoyed the wine and good fellowship. Definitely book with this company, you will not be disappointed!
My sister and I went for a lovely 2 hour birthday cruise with Joao and Juan - who were lovely. Super relaxing, great Verde wine and interesting to see the city from the water. Joao was knowledgeable about the various sites and landmarks - and even pointed out things that you wouldn’t find in a guidebook. Recommend!
Great tour guides, lots of wine, a small group of young adults, great explanations of monuments. A truly great time.
I would recommend this trip to anyone visiting Lisbon. The crew were funny, friendly and very accomodating. The ship is beautiful and comfortable. The wine on board was also very nice. Thanks again Bernado from Nick and Josi (The Australian and the German)
I visited Lisbon with some girlfriends mid May 2022 for a long weekend and this was the best thing we did on our trip. The yacht was amazing and it was a great way to experience the city in the glorious sunshine. Juan and his colleague were great hosts who looked after us with plenty of wine and lots of great facts about the city. Would highly recommend this to anyone visiting Lisbon.
Brilliant time on the boat - I would recommend taking this tour. Great guides and great wine onboard
We had an amazing stay with you guys on the boat! Very friendly, good guidance and explanation about all the beautiful things to see when you visit Lisbon. Couple glasses of nice wine and good company will make your trip even better! My friend, the kids and i want tou thank you guys for this very nice trip! Would highly recommend!
10/10 recommend, such lovely guys running the boat tour and kept the gorgeous wine flowing! We also learnt a lot about Lisbon too!! Highlight of our trip!! Thank you
Simply the perfect way to see Lisbon from the river. Our skipper and guide were so welcoming, knowledgeable and friendly. 100% recommended, this was the best way to spend a couple of hours sightseeing and relaxing too ! Many thanks from the Man City fans.
Dear Juan. Thxs for the wonderful sailing trip. My daughter and me where very impressed about your kindness and the views which we joined with you and your team. I beware this little trip in my mind. You were an important part of Lissabon we saw. Also thxs for the recommendation you gave us about the fish restaurant. It was delicous. Greetings from us.
We thoroughly enjoyed our cruise, the guys were great hosts, providing us with plenty of green wine (Portuguese specialty). Would highly recommend, weather dependent of course - we were lucky to have complete sunshine and very little wind.
Magical Sailtour! This tour was a really nice surprise and magical! Juan and Jose were on time and host us in this beautiful sailboat. On time, safe, friendly and discreet, they make us discover Lisbon from the river with this exceptional atmosphere pouring us some nice wine. I definitively recommend it!
We had the best time! They were super friendly, told interesting stories and gave great service. We will definitely book them again when we're back in Lisbon.
