Set sail from Lisboa aboard two spacious catamarans designed for groups up to 28. Perfect for celebrations or a refreshing day on the water, Royal Marine’s cruises mix relaxation with active fun under Lisbon’s iconic skies.
Lisboa, Portugal’s vibrant capital on the Atlantic coast, pulses with life from its historic streets to the shimmering waters of the Tagus River estuary. Amid this urban-riverfront blend, Royal Marine offers a distinctive way to experience the maritime side of Lisboa: a private cruise aboard two spacious catamarans that can host up to 28 guests. This activity transcends the typical city tour, creating an interactive waterborne adventure tailored for groups seeking celebration, relaxation, or active fun on the sea.
Setting off from central Lisboa’s harbor, these catamarans navigate calm, deep waters framed by iconic landmarks such as the 25 de Abril Bridge and the modern waterfront district of Parque das Nações. The sea breeze carries subtle hints of salt and pine from the nearby Sintra-Cascais Natural Park, whose rugged coastline and dramatic cliffs lie just beyond the city’s edge. Here, guests can dive into swimming, snorkeling, or simply bask on deck while watching the light transform the water’s surface.
What distinguishes Royal Marine’s "Double the Party!" experience is its capacity to combine space, privacy, and flexibility. Unlike crowded day boats, the twin catamarans provide a roomy, stable platform perfect for celebrations, intimate family gatherings, or corporate outings. Each journey is customized to fit your party’s pace — whether that means an energetic swim stop, a leisurely cruise with tapas and drinks, or stopping near hidden coves to chat about the region’s rich seafaring history.
In a city known for its cliffs, tile-covered façades, and fado music echoing from narrow alleys, the Royal Marine water experience offers a fresh angle — the sea itself as venue and backdrop. It invites visitors to see Lisboa from a maritime perspective, emphasizing Portugal’s deep connection to its coastal environment and ocean culture. For anyone seeking a unique blend of adventure and comfort on the waters of Lisboa, Royal Marine’s catamaran cruises carve out a memorable chapter in Portugal’s coastal appeal.
