We had a great time getting to see Lisbon from the river! Our uber ended up taking over and hour, so we were very late and delayed the boat taking off. I cannot thank the team enough for being helpful and understanding during that time, especially when they had other passengers ready to go. They still made us feel welcomed and helped us relax and enjoy our evening. The ride was about 2 hours and it was so incredibly worth it. I cannot thank the team enough for their hospitality!

Tour was very relaxing. Everyone sat in the front off the boat listening listening to the tour guide while I sat in the back (mom getaway enjoying peace and quiet). The tour guide came back at the turning point to see if I wanted to hear the tour on the way back since he was done with the front or just sit and relax. Crew members were really nice and knowledgeable.
A very pleasant 2 hours. Very attentive and knowledgable crew. The highlight of our 6 day Lisbon visit.
Great sunset sail. The captain was excellent, explaining sights on both sides of the river. The first mate took good care of us with drinks, pastries and blankets when it cooled down.
A lovely way to spend a few hours. Staff were friendly knowledgeable and helpful. Very enjoyable
My husband and I booked the cruise last minute, I believe the day before. Captain Alex and his crew member were so gracious and knowledgeable and kind. After walking around the streets of Lisbon, it was fabulous to see the same beautiful city from the river. Thanks again and I highly recommend.
Nice but it was advertised as snacks.... all we got was one pastel de nate. I thought there would be more than just one tiny pastry.
Captain was knowledgeable, friendly, professional and provided a relaxed atmosphere to enjoy a lovely evening sail
We, a family of 5, did a sailing tour with Marlin Tours and it was exactly what I was hoping for. The skipper and guide were incredibly friendly and welcoming. Seeing the city from the water was a completely different perspective, and the historical explanations along the way made it even more interesting. Relaxed atmosphere, knowledgeable and personal team, a glas of wine and beautiful views. It really doesn’t get any better than this. Highly recommended! The catamaran itself was a highlight too. It was spacious, stable, and very comfortable, with plenty of room to move around and take in the views. My favorite spot was the nets at the front .
Our captain was a she boss! She steered the boat wonderfully ! Our guide kept our drinks filled and gave some great commentary about the sites. I really enjoyed myself .
It was a gorgeous and relaxing way to see the city and monuments. What could be better than selling, sipping wine and enjoying the sites? The crew was very knowledgeable, kind and accommodating, especially as we had brought our baby along for the ride. Highly recommend this tour!
Although it wasn't the small sailboat we booked (Slightly larger catamaran) the evening was still perfect and the 2 guys who looked after us were absolutely incredible. Don't wait...just book the tour.
AMAZING! Denish and Alex (im sorry if i got his name wrong) WERE AMAZING! I highly recommend, so personable and warm!
Very good crew, great two hours with sails up. Busy and interesting waterway, even a submarine made an appearance. Would do again
We had an amazing sailing tour on the river in Lisbon! The views were beautiful, the atmosphere was relaxed, and the whole experience was a highlight of our trip. Alex and Ines were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and attentive. Highly recommend!
Wonderful cruise on beautiful boat. Fantastic crew. Excellent experience.
Great views! The duration of tour was perfect.
Wonderful catamaran ride on the river taking in the Lisboa sites. Very relaxing and guides were lighthearted and friendly.
We loved every minute of this tour! It was a first time on a sailboat for many of us and the guides made sure we had a fabulous time with history and loca tidbits, a small snack and beverages. We were lucky enough to even see dolphins! HIGHLY recommend
Highly recommend it. Mr. Alex and Ms. Katarina were wonderful. Gave us some history and even made it possible for us to see some Dolphins!! Had a fantastic experience!
This was one of the favourite parts of our Lisbon trip. Lovely boat, lovely crew, great playlist and a perfect sunset. Overall, it was a really chilled-out way to start a summer night. Book it!
What a great afternoon on the catamaran! Fabulous views of Lisbon, drinks and snack included. Great value for money and a relaxing way to see the sights.
This Sailboat tour was truly an amazing experience! It was my very first time in Lisbon and I booked the tour to end my trip and my time in Lisbon. What made it so special is that these guys weren’t tour guides, but true sailors! They slowed the boat down to ensure that everyone knew about the history of Portugal and the monuments and buildings we were seeing. I truly appreciate the tour from Ricrdo, Rodrigo, and Dinis- they truly made the end of my trip to Lisbon very memorable! Thank you so much! 🙏🏾💛
We were there on August 21th. Sorry we couldn’t remember their names. They were wonderful. Very knowledgeable and attentive. We had an awesome time!!
Fabulous experience the guys were great and very welcoming with lots of drinks flowing and the pastel de natas were lovely
Crew is very nice and drinks are great
Ines and Cate are wonderful hosts and so experienced sailing the boat. Ines’ knowledge of Lisbon’s history and Cate’s marine biology background really enriched our experience. They are very personable as well. We didn’t want the trip to end! Highly recommend them. Also, the trip only holds a maximum of 8 people so there is plenty of room for everyone. They serve beverages and a light snack. We couldn’t have enjoyed ourselves more! Linda, Sandi, and Aldebra from California 😊
Ines and Cate were fantastic! Ines shared so much history of the area and her and Cate’s sailing expertise was great 😊 Everything was even better than we expected. We really liked that there were only 8 people on the tour. Highly recommend!
Had a wonderful experience on the tour with very knowledgeable and experienced guides who gave us great information about the river, Lisbon, wildlife around and how the boats interact with each other in the river. There was lots of space on the boat and if feeling brave there was a net to lie on above the water! We were provided with a very generous amount of drinks and the trip was of a good length. I would highly recommend and thought it was amazing value for the cost!
This was such an awesome experience ❤️ our guides were extremely warm (making sure we had drinks and were taken care of) and so knowledgeable, and we even managed to see dolphins! As a solo traveller, it's a great way to really experience Lisbon. Would highly recommend!
Excellent excursion. Felt like we were the only ones on the sailboat. 2 hours was a good amount of time.
Small group on board with lovely friendly crew to point out places of interest along the river and offer drinks. The 2 hours went too quickly. On our trip we were also lucky to see dolphins. Magical.
This was a 2 hour sunset trip and was really well organised. A small sail boat with ample room for everyone. The crew were super friendly and pointed out anything of interest along the way whilst also keeping the drinks topped up. As an unexpected bonus we got to see dolphins in the river. Magical.
Amazing sailboat experience! Our guides were friendly, knowledgeable, and made our sail a memorable one. Highly recommend!!
The most enjoyable sailboat cruise I’ve ever had. Just 5 of us on the boat with 2 crew - the captain and a marine biologist. They taught us about Lisbon, the river and the ocean. It was very hot, so they kept us hydrated throughout.
Very well organized tour and courteous friendly people to assist you. Beautiful boat with plenty of room for everyone. Not too many people with overcrowding. Great weather and a beautiful sunset.
We had an amazing time sailing along the Tagus River with Marlin Tours. The sailboat tour included drinks and delicious Pastéis de Nata (traditional Portuguese custard tart). My husband and I had an amazing time. The sailboat had ample space and my husband and I sat on the netting and enjoyed beautiful views of the scenic routes of Lisbon including the Belém Tower, Cristo Rei statue and Ponte 25 de Abril bridge amongst many others. Raphael was an excellent host, he gave us details of all the fascinating monuments/statues while also giving us privacy to enjoy the views. This was an excellent way to see Lisbon and the Tagus River without having to be packed like sardines like in those sightseeing cruises. I would highly recommend this tour perfect for a romantic sunset view for couples or even families.
Fantastic way to see Lisbon from another view. The team was extremely helpful and knowledgeable sharing information on the landmarks and history along the river - highly recommended way to spend a couple of hours!
Not the easiest location to find. The cruise was well conducted and the scenery was well worth it. The crew passed on historical information as we sailed by specific locations. Drinks and snacks were generously provided. The seating arrangement was a little uncomfortable for our party of seniors. Recommended
Ines was an amazing host. She was extremely knowledgeable and took the time to explain history, architecture, and other relevant information. Joa was a great captain, getting close to monuments and tacking back-and-forth so we could get good views.
Lovely trip, perfect hosts. Katerina and Ines. Not only capable and attentive hosts but great people
It may be quite windy. Bring a light jacket if you get cold and a scarf or hairtie if appropriate. I enjoyed myself immensely and the staff was capable and friendly. Drinks were not cold but that is forgivable! The sunset over Lisbon was gorgeous from the water.
Amazing experience, worth the price!
The crew were very nice, as was the wine. The only downside was that, although they put up the main sail it wasn't used. We were under engine power all the way which is not nearly as nice as being under sail.
I would highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting the City. You will glad to experience things from this prospective
Fun experience with friendly guys who provided plenty of wine and music. Relaxing and a welcome break from the heat!

Desde o primeiro momento, toda a equipa foi extraordinária, sempre disponível, atenciosa e dedicada a cada detalhe para que tivéssemos um sunset perfeito a bordo do maravilhoso Ana Franco e assim foi. Obrigada ao capitão, à tripulação, à Silvia, ao Francisco e ao Rogério pela simpatia, boa disposição e acolhimento, e também à Marta e à Catarina por toda a disponibilidade e dedicação ao longo da organização. Cinco estrelas para todos. Não me vou esquecer deste meio século celebrado no rio Tejo. 🇬🇧 A very special thank you to Marlin Tours for making my birthday truly memorable. From the very beginning, the entire team was extraordinary, always attentive, welcoming, and dedicated to every detail so we could enjoy the perfect sunset aboard the beautiful Ana Franco… and that’s exactly what happened. Thank you to the captain, the crew, Silvia, Francisco, and Rogério for the kindness, warmth, and great energy, and also to Marta and Catarina for all their support and dedication throughout the organization. Five stars to everyone. I will never forget celebrating this half-century on the Tagus River.
Had the best time on this boat tour! The guides were amazing and very knowledgeable. The scenery was beautiful, and we were even surprised with some visiting dolphins on our route. 100% would recommend to anyone.
The best sail boat experience I have ever done! We went for a hen do at sunset and it was beautiful. Definitely worth the money, and the two gentleman looking after us were wonderful. Lovely pastry and unlimited drinks. We would definitely recommend.
Outstanding experience. Excellent value for money with drinks included. Alfonso & Alex are professionals and the perfect blend of fun but also informative and knowledgable. Loved learning about the different sights along the river cruise which didn’t feel generic at all.
