This was an amazing experience, the captain was professional and very accommodating! Constantly refilling wine, giving suggestions of things to try/do in Lisbon and other parts of the country. Both of the guys operating the boat were very kind and attentive. It’s definitely more of a yacht experience than a catamaran and that exceeded my expectations. I would highly recommend to anyone wanting to experience a memorable time!

Itinerary
Join a small group of up to 14 on a catamaran for Lisbon’s most relaxed sunset. Four Portuguese wines are open, white, rosé, vinho verde and sparkling, so try one or all four while our crew keeps your glass topped up and the city turns gold. Over two hours, we sail past Belém Tower and the MAAT, under the 25 de Abril Bridge and along the riverfront to Cristo Rei, Praça do Comércio and Alfama, then head back west towards the sunset. Departures are timed to each day’s sunset and run with any number of guests, so your plans won’t be cancelled for lack of bookings. Want to know more about what you’re seeing? Your skipper is happy to share the stories behind the landmarks in English, Portuguese or Spanish, just ask. We keep it on request, so anyone who’d rather simply enjoy the view can do exactly that. Relax on the cushioned flybridge, the bow loungers or the shaded aft deck, with blankets on board for when it gets cool. Beer, soft drinks and cocktails are available to buy at the bar. Royal Marine Boat Tours is a family-run company founded in 2018 by brothers Miguel and Pedro, and a Tripadvisor Travelers’ Choice winner in 2022, 2023 and 2024.

The tour ended up being just the two of us. We were surprised that they didn't cancel on us with just it being the two of us. The two men on board were great hosts and the cruise and sunset couldn't have been better. Highly recommend!
Fantastic experience from start to finish. Beautiful weather, our captain Salvadore and his assistant who I can't recall the name of was extremely informative of the area. We were lucky enough to see dolphins on our trip which was truly special. The drinks flowed and it was a really lovely way to spend 2 hours. A great and different way to see Lisbon. Highly recommend. Thank you both for making my partners birthday one to remember.
Pretty view with awesome crew needs better explanation of where to meet however
Amazing evening relaxing after a busy day of exploring. Amazing view, spacious boat and great captains. The wine never ended and the whole evening was spectacular!
Absolutely amazing experience from start to finish! Everything was perfectly organized, and Miguel did an outstanding job making sure everything ran smoothly. The boat trip itself was incredible, and João and António were fantastic hosts. They went above and beyond to make sure everyone had a great time and felt comfortable throughout the entire journey. Their professionalism, friendliness, and attention to detail made this an unforgettable experience. You can really tell how much passion and effort they put into what they do. This was already the second time we booked with them, and it definitely won’t be the last. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for an exceptional boat experience in Portugal. Thank you again for an unforgettable day!
Very nice crew, great wines and good vibes! We highly recommand this trip! Thank you guys.
What a treat - had the best time with friends on this sunset cruise. The boat was awesome, views were A++ and we were well cared for by our crewmen. Highly recommend!
My wife and kids loved this tour. The three Pedro‘s took great care of us. The boat was beautiful, and we sat on the cushions on the bow of the boat. It was a little bit cool, but the three Pedro’s were very accommodating with blankets. We had a great time, and enjoyed things thoroughly. Great views, great pictures, and a great sunset. Would definitely do this again.
My husband and I really enjoyed this experience. There was a small group on our excursion, we sat on the top deck where the skipper was our tour guide, sharing some history of Portugal, in English, while we sipped on delicious Porto 6 wines and took in the lovely views of the coast and the sunset. We were so glad we booked with them. It was the best ending to our trip! Will definitely be booking again on our next visit.
This was one of my favorite tours in Portugal! It was perfect! Antonio and Antonio (yes, that’s right, lol) were so welcoming. They explained everything before we got on the catamaran, gave us a tour around the river, given us some history on the monuments as we enjoyed some great wine and one of the best sunsets I have seen. They were so friendly and professional. There was plenty of space on the catamaran that it felt like we were on our own private tour with friends . Thank you both for making my best friend’s Birthday one of the greatest days!
Antonio and Antonio were so fun to chat with, my bestie and I had a great time! We took this sunset cruise for my birthday. The wine is definitely unlimited, which is included with the ticket. We brought some lite bites, charcuterie to snack on which I highly recommend. Or perhaps a desert. The ship was super clean and had a lovely set up. I really enjoyed it and would highly recommend booking with Antonio x2!
This boat tour was incredible! We were SO lucky with weather and a quiet group. Pedro and his colleague were absolutely amazing, so friendly, knowledgeable, made us feel so relaxed and at ease during the trip. We loved every minute! The boat was beautiful and comfy, and Pedro made sure we had everything we needed. The sunset was to die for. A check in message the evening before confirming the location etc, very professional. Whole experience was 10/10! Thank you so much!
Jerome was our skipper and the experience was fantastic! He was knowledgeable, friendly, and so accommodating! We enjoyed our cruise immensely!
The guide amd skipper were terrific. They served wonderful wines and regaled us with history and the sites of Lisbon. The boat was comfortable.
It was the third day of our honeymoon and I booked this cruise last minute thinking it was at 6pm. Luckily, they messaged me on WhatsApp to let us know if was at 5:30pm, so my wife and I jumped in a cab. We were running about 5 min late, but since there was only one other couple, they held the boat for us (above and beyond). The cruise itself was idyllic. I assumed we'd each get one glass of wine, but they kept our glasses full the whole trip. Our hosts, Pedro and Antonio, were awesome. They gave us historical commentary, answered our questions, took pictures for us and gave us privacy all in the perfect amounts. It felt like a reality TV dating show excursion. All the stars, fully recommend!
Miguel and John provided a wonderful tour of Lisbon on a beautiful boat. Very personalized attention to us and gave great information on the sights. If visiting Lisbon, this is a must!
Fantastic experience! Beautiful views throughout the tour and very friendly staff. Limited number of guests so everyone had their own private space on the boat.
It was a great way to wind down our day. Antonio and Marianna were wonderful host! Nice portions of Wine and any questions we had about historical monuments Antonio was so knowledgeable! We highly recommend!
Very attentive crew, explaining the history of Lisbon and various landmarks on the route. Wine glass was never left empty! And we were blessed with perfect weather and a dazzling sunset! So glad we booked this cruise!
The boat is lovely. Big but not too big. Very comfortable and fun. The crew was so nice and were kind enough to wait for us as we were late arriving due to lots of traffic. Wine was delicious. We were 7 and there were another 6 people on the boat so it never felt too crowded. Highly recommend this boat, crew and tour.
The cruise was beautiful. The captain and staff were very attentive and the wine was delicious and abundant
Friendly welcome and caring safety minded skippers. Flexible in adapting to the varying weather conditions on the day. Generosity in their wine pouring complemented with lounging Brasilia music
This was the best boat tour and a must have experience when in Lisbon!! The tour guides were awesome and had so much knowledge on all the spots touring around the river bank. They were generous on the wine being poured as well!!
My husband and I booked this tour on the last day of our honeymoon, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Everything exceeded our expectations from start to finish. Miguel and Antonio were incredible hosts—welcoming us aboard, making sure we felt safe and comfortable, and always keeping our glasses full. The small group setting (just us and six others) made the atmosphere so relaxing and personal. A highlight was seeing dolphins swimming nearby, and we truly appreciated how respectful Miguel was in giving them space. This tour was the perfect way to end our trip, and we can’t recommend Miguel, Antonio and this boat tour enough!
Was an amazing experience you cannot miss in Lisbon! Beautiful sunset, the wine was really good and both guide guys were super nice and kind, answering our questions, they gave us a blanket, taking pictures. 100% highly recommended!
We had a great sunset tour including lots of good Portuguese wine, great seating on a modern catamaran and the gentle hosts Miguel and Antonio. The group consisted of only around 10 people. The tour went around all of the hotspots at the river on which Miguel offered to give some additional information on when asked. Also, we had the luck to watch a dolphin family move around the river.
Such a great experience with lots of wine to drink 😊 !! Staff were so friendly and happy to help take sunset photos. Would highly highly recommend for couples or groups of friends
My family and I had a fantastic time on the boat trip! The lady who arranged the booking was lovely to talk to and very helpful. The views were stunning, with calm waters and a beautiful coastline. The boat was spacious and comfortable, and the crew was friendly, making us feel safe and welcome throughout the journey. It was the perfect balance of relaxation and fun. We took beautiful photos and enjoyed the peaceful rhythm of the sea. I highly recommend this boat experience to anyone visiting. We would definitely do it again!
Wonderful, relaxing, memorable. The guides Thomas and Diogo were personable, fun and helpful. Would definitely recommend this experience!
Our sunset boat trip was an unforgettable highlight and the perfect way to end our weekend in Lisbon. Antonio and Antonio were incredibly friendly and professional, going out of their way to tailor the experience to our preferences. The food and drinks exceeded expectations—plentiful, well-presented, and of a much higher quality than typical for this kind of outing. The views were stunning, the atmosphere relaxed, and the entire experience felt thoughtfully curated. Highly recommended!
We had an absolutely amazing boat trip in Lisbon with Royal Marine! From the very beginning, Miguel impressed us with his exceptional organization and super fast communication — everything was smooth and stress-free. A huge thank you to Philipp and António for creating such a fun and relaxed atmosphere on board. They made our birthday celebration truly unforgettable — from the perfect sailing route to helping us set up everything on the boat. The views of Lisbon from the water were breathtaking, the boat was spotless and comfortable, and the crew made us feel like VIPs the whole time. Highly recommended if you're looking to celebrate a special occasion or just enjoy the city from a new perspective!
So under rated— We watched group after group get loaded on to crowded boats, and we were a small group of 4 with a beautiful boat to ourselves. Don’t do any other sunset cruise in Lisbon, this is the best!
Andre and the skipper were very warm and welcoming. The tour was interesting and so enjoyable. Obregada for a memorable experience.
Very nice relaxing boat ride, the staff were very attentive and made sure our glass of wine wasn’t empty. It got pretty chilly and windy, glad they provided blankets.
The boat and crew was amazing! Very friendly and knowledgeable. Seeing Lisbon from the waterside is a must do with these guys!
We really enjoyed our sunset cruise with Royal Marine. We were initially unsure if the cruise would go ahead due to cloudy weather, but we had confirmation on the day that it would. The boat was lovely and we were lucky to have the front of the boat to ourselves. Great service and beautiful views. Thank you!
I had a wonderful experience with this tour! Antonio and Thomas were incredibly professional, kind, and knowledgeable of the sights. They made me a non-alcoholic drink upon request. Sofia was very communicative and responsive, even when I was running a bit late. The views were gorgeous and the sunset was lovely to see on the water. I highly recommend you book this tour!
We rented the boat for 3hours and had a wonderful crew. My significant other has limited mobility and utilizes a scooter. The crew helped him down a very steep ramp and assisted him on and off the boat like pros. Europe is a battle when you have limited mobility but the crew made it an absolutely amazing experience for us. They were very knowledgeable of the area and pointed out sights to us, we had arranged for appetizers and drinks to be on board which had beautiful presentation. The menu of available add ons was incredible! I highly recommend this excursion for everyone from couples to bachelor/bachelorettes and families! 5 stars!
Miguel and the team on board are fantastic. What a great boat. I have been on many boat tours around the world and this was by far the best. Very hospitable, very educational and provided the best service. Would highly recommend this boat. Miguel and the team made my proposal so special
The Royal Marine Team is an excellent Partner, so easy to work with! Sofia & her team are very welcoming, friendly & try to make you wishes a reality! We tried out the catering on board last time with a Brunch & it absolutely exceeded our expectations. 10/10 absolutely reccomend!
As someone that loves being in the water, I knew a boat tour would be the kind of party I wanted to have for my 25th birthday. Miguel and his team were extremely helpful, responsible and flexible from the very first contact: from completely meeting expectations, to being understanding and flexible, to an excellent and relaxing experience on the river, this was by far one of my favorite birthdays. I strongly reccomend Royal Marine for their excellence, professionalism and friendliness. Will definitely return to them when the need arises. Thank you Miguel!
Thank you, it was amazing, great organization, great brunch. They are really king and helpful. Don't hesitate and book a trip with them
What a great experience! We were a group of 10 that went out on a sunset cruise. The cruise was 3 hours and included food and the light open bar from their menu. Everything was fantastic, especially the grilled Portuguese chorizo sausage!! All of the food provided looked exactly as advertised in their menu. Miguel and his crew looked after all our needs. Great communication, great boat, and great service! Not one complaint from any of the 10 passengers (and we are all boat owners and know how things should be). We charter boats whenever we visit a coastal town or city and this was one of our favourites. I strongly recommend Miguel and his crew - you will not be disappointed!
The entire experience was incredible! The crew was both friendly and helpful! Couldn’t have had a better time viewing some of Portugals historic monuments and the beautiful city of Lisboa. 11/10 recommend!
My family and I booked a tour in the Tejo river during our time in Lisbon. This was definitely a highlight of the trip for everyone! Our group ranged from ages 7 to 50 and the crew did an amazing job of assuring all of us had the best experience possible. We stopped for a refreshing swim in the water and also refreshed with great cocktails! There is a big speaker that you can connect to in order to play your favorite music! The crew also continuously provided us with a background of the attractions we visited along the river. I highly recommend booking a boat tour with Royal Marine for anyone visiting or living in Lisbon!
We took a 3 hour boat ride around Lisbon with Miguel and his brother. Great time had by all, the boat was extremely comfortable and high quality, we stopped for a swim and had a great afternoon. Highlight were our hosts — extremely knowledgeable and very friendly, but professional. Would definitely recommend.
The boat trip was fantastic! Pedro and Pedro really made us feel comfortable, safe, we had so much fun, and the food was delicious. We ordered the vegetable plate and had BBQ burgers for 12 people. Miguel was super informative while booking as well. I would recommend Royal Marine to everyone and can not wait to take another trip with them in the future!
We rented a boat for 5 hours in the afternoon for a trip in the Tajo River until the sunset. We were a group of 14 friends in a bachelor party, so our idea was to have a party in the boat with some drinks and good music, and everything was perfect. The boat was great, just as in the pictures, they let us use a big speaker and Pedro and Miguel (the crew) were really nice and easy-going. Thanks!
Thoroughly enjoyed our trip. Great fun to nestle in the bean bags on the front. Our frat full day in Lisbon-grabbed a bunch of history and nuances from Pedro. Highly recommended as a unique experience. Karen. minnesota
