Setubal and Troia, located along Portugal's sparkling southwest coast near the Atlantic Ocean, offer an exceptional blend of tranquil waters, rugged coastline, and vibrant marine life. where-to-go-in-lisbon invites adventurers to experience this unique stretch from the helm of a Yamaha 80hp motorboat, either captaining their own vessel or opting for a crewed trip with a skipper and mate. This motorboat experience is tailored for groups of up to six, perfect for families or friends craving an intimate day on the water.

Onboard, guests may bring their own snacks and drinks to create a custom day at sea, though note red wine and berries are restricted to protect the pristine environment.
