You step aboard as the city loosens its grip on daylight — the Tagus leans toward the Atlantic and the yacht answers, slipping away from the quay. Champagne glints in your glass while the 25th of April Bridge slides past like a rust-red sculpture and the statue of Cristo Rei watches from the opposite bank. The deck smells of salt and varnish; the breeze teases your jacket and the city lights begin to blink on.
