Sardinha do Tejo
Witness Lisbon’s stunning waterfront come alive as the sun sets over the Tejo River. Sardinha do Tejo’s catamaran cruise combines serene views, local wine, and music for a distinctive evening on the water.
Sardinha do Tejo is a Lisbon-based river cruise operator offering curated experiences along the Tejo (Tagus) River and the nearby Atlantic coast. The company operates a historic three-deck ship, the Barco Evora, and a comfortable Catamaran Terrace, combining panoramic sightseeing with relaxed onboard atmospheres. Sardinha do Tejo's core experiences include a Sunset Experience aboard the Barco Evora, a Sunset Experience on the Catamaran Terrace, an Afternoon Experience on the historic ship, and a Boat Party on the Catamaran Terrace.
On the sunset and afternoon cruises guests enjoy sweeping views of Lisbon's iconic landmarks while wine and music set a relaxed tone. The Catamaran Terrace offers nets for lounging and a welcoming social atmosphere. The Boat Party blends celebration and coastal exploration with onboard music, the opportunity to swim in the Atlantic, and an open bar during the first hour.
All experiences depart from Lisboa and focus on showcasing the city's riverside skyline, bridges, and waterfront neighborhoods from the water. Each trip emphasizes scenic photography opportunities, casual socializing, and a distinctive maritime setting that differs from land-based sightseeing.
Sardinha do Tejo presents straightforward, experience-driven options for visitors seeking sunset cruises, relaxed afternoon sailings, or lively boat parties. The operator highlights vessel variety—historic three-deck ship and catamaran—so travelers can choose a setting that fits their mood, whether panoramic calm or festive energy.
Prospective guests should consult the trip listings for departure times, boarding locations in Lisboa, and specific inclusions such as wine, music, and open-bar details for the Boat Party. Book early.
