The yacht cuts through the wide Tagus with the city unfolding on both banks: pale façades sliding past, the 25 de Abril bridge arching like a steel conversation, and Belem Tower standing low and watchful. Wind pulls at hats and cameras as the boat passes Praça do Comércio, the Discovery Monument and the distant Christ the King statue, offering a perspective of Lisbon that the streets simply can't replicate.
