★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 330 reviews · 2 hours · from $42Top rated

Join Sailing with Sal for a two-hour sunset cruise on the Tagus aboard a comfortable 12-meter sailboat. Miguel and his family team share stories about Lisbon as you pass Belém Tower, the 25 de Abril Bridge, Christ the King, and other landmarks. The small group is limited to 10 people, with two drinks included.

“This was a great activity and Miguel was a fabulous captain. I got some great sunset pictures! There were ten people on our outing. Plenty of seating in the back and front of the boat. Wine and beer were served. Miguel and his mate expertly navigated the sailboat around a huge cruise ship that was in the channel when it should not have been. I would definitely do this again and highly recommend!”
