Sail privately from Belém with Palmayachts for 2 to 8 hours, passing Belém Tower, Praça do Comércio, Christ the King, and the 25 de Abril Bridge. Your captain and crew, including guides such as Benny, Luis, João, or Antonio, share Lisbon stories while you enjoy a welcome drink, flexible routing, and room for up to 10 people.

“We took a three hour sail on the Tagus river with a terrific water side view of historic Lisbon. We were a bit late as Uber had some difficulty getting us to the correct dock, but the crew was most helpful on the phone and made sure we got underway with minimal delay. We also had a late November booking and some weather to contend with. The company was more than accommodating and helped us reschedule after a rainstorm. Highly recommended tour and excellent way to see the sights of Lisbon. I also suggest scheduling early in your visit as the tour provides an perfect way to plan additional city…”
