Trips include the B side of Lisbon, a private two-hour boat tour that sails past Torre de Belém and the Ponte 25 de Abril while guests enjoy a welcome drink and the music they choose. Night Tours and Sunset Sailing are designed as two-hour sunset cruises that highlight Lisbon’s evening light; both offer a complimentary drink, the option to play favorite music, and an intimate atmosphere ideal for couples. The Lisbon River Sunset Sailing Cruise follows a similar two-hour format, gliding past the Monument to the Discoveries, the Tower of Belém, and the 25 de Abril Bridge with a complimentary toast at sunset. The Lisbon 2-Hour River Cruise explores the same iconic landmarks and includes a welcome drink to enhance the experience.
All advertised trips are two hours in length and emphasize scenic views, iconic monuments, and a relaxed onboard atmosphere. Lisbon Sail positions its offerings around private or small-group enjoyment of Lisbon’s riverside landmarks, romantic sunset settings, and customizable music and drink options. The business operates from Lisboa and focuses on providing memorable, water-based perspectives of the city’s most recognized sights. Bookings typically include exclusive boat options and the flexibility to request music and enjoy complimentary drinks during the two-hour excursion for couples and groups from Lisboa docks.
