The boat rocks gently as Lisbon’s ochre façades slide past — the 25 de Abril bridge frames the sky, Belém Tower looms off the starboard bow and the Tagus pushes a cool breeze into the sails. Onboard, a sommelier uncorks a local white and explains its minerality while the river refracts late-afternoon light across glass.
