Sunset Sailing & Wine on Lisbon’s Tagus | Rent a Boat

Lisbon, Portugal’s vibrant capital, sits where the Tagus River meets the Atlantic Ocean, offering a unique blend of urban energy and natural beauty. Rent a Boat's Sunset & Wine tour provides a rare vantage point: gliding along the Tagus as dusk unfolds and the cityscape shifts through shades of gold and pink. On this intimate sailing trip capped at 12 guests, participants sip carefully selected Portuguese wine while the gentle river currents carry them past iconic landmarks such as the 25 de Abril Bridge and the historic Belém Tower.
