Tagus River Day Sailing Tour in Lisbon

Meet the crew at Doca do Bom Sucesso

Meet your host 15 minutes before departure at the Belém marina. Look for the red flag near gate number one between the gas station and restaurant. You’ll receive a quick safety briefing before boarding your yacht to begin the river cruise.

Belem Tower

Sail past this 16th-century fortress that once guarded the harbor. You’ll see the intricate Manueline stonework and royal carvings from the water. This perspective offers clear views of the limestone monument without the shore-side crowds.

Padrão dos Descobrimentos

Gaze at the massive Monument to the Discoveries honoring the Portuguese Age of Exploration. It features statues of famous navigators looking toward the Atlantic. Your boat provides the perfect distance to capture views of the entire structure against the skyline.

Ponte 25 de Abril and Christ the King

Pass underneath the massive red suspension bridge connecting the two riverbanks. On the southern shore, you’ll see the towering Cristo Rei statue inspired by Rio de Janeiro. The scale of both landmarks is best appreciated from the Tagus waters.

Terreiro do Paço

Reach the city center at this grand waterfront square, formerly home to the royal palace. From the river, you can see the symmetrical yellow buildings and the triumphal arch. You’ll also spot the distant hilltop towers of St. George Castle.
