Slide out onto the Tagus for a two-hour sail that frames Lisbon’s iconic riverside — Belém Tower, MAAT and the 25 de Abril bridge — while the crew serves wine or beer. Small groups (max 12) keep the pace relaxed and the views unobstructed.

History
The Tagus waterfront was the launching point for Portugal’s Age of Discoveries; monuments like Belém Tower and the Padrão dos Descobrimentos commemorate 15th–16th century maritime exploration.
Conservation
Keep to single-use waste rules and avoid feeding wildlife; the estuary benefits from efforts to reduce plastic and protect occasional dolphin sightings.
