Cruise the Tejo River with SeaVibes on a private sunset boat ride in Lisboa. Perfect for couples seeking romance paired with stunning city and river views.

Details

Flowing through the heart of Portugal’s capital, the Tejo River carves a living boundary between Lisboa's historic waterfront and its contemporary cityscape. SeaVibes invites couples to a rare and private 2-hour journey aboard their intimate boat, designed specifically for moments like anniversaries and proposals. Starting from Lisboa, this experience casts you gently onto tranquil waters where the city's iconic landmarks—such as the 25 de Abril Bridge and the ancient Belém Tower—slide past your view under the mellow light of a setting sun.

The Passeio Pôr do Sol a Dois is more than a boat ride; it is a carefully curated encounter with the river’s calm and the city’s pulse. Guests are welcomed aboard with a glass of local wine or a fresh cocktail and a selection of snacks, setting the tone for relaxed, undistracted connection. The ride offers unobstructed views of the Tagus estuary’s unique geology—low cliffs and smooth river banks dotted with Mediterranean pine and eucalyptus trees add a natural frame to the urban horizon. As daylight fades, the sky morphs through shades of amber and rose, mirrored by shimmering water, making this cruise a standout among Lisboa’s outdoor experiences.

SeaVibes distinguishes itself by balancing the simplicity of nature with the romance of a private setting, creating an accessible luxury that taps into the Lisbon lifestyle. This isn’t just sightseeing—it's a time to pause, savor the moment, and ground your relationship in a shared outdoor memory. For travelers seeking a quiet but potent escape within Lisboa’s vibrant outdoor scene, this sunset boat ride offers unparalleled intimacy and beauty along one of Europe’s most historic waterways.
