About the experience

Departing from the Doca de Alcântara, right in the heart of Lisbon, this full-day catamaran experience invites you to discover the beauty of the Portuguese coast in total comfort and freedom. Over the course of eight hours, you’ll sail westward along the Tagus River and into the Atlantic, enjoying breathtaking views, a relaxed atmosphere, and the chance to shape your itinerary to match your group’s wishes. You can choose to start your adventure at 10:00 AM, for a full day on the water, or at 12:00 PM, if you'd prefer to catch the stunning sunset on the way back to Lisbon.

The route is entirely flexible, but most guests choose to follow the skipper’s recommendation and head toward Cascais, one of Portugal’s most picturesque seaside towns. Along the way, you’ll pass by Algés, where the river begins to widen and the city skyline gradually gives way to more open views. As you continue, you’ll glide past Belém, a district steeped in maritime history, where you can admire the iconic Belém Tower, the Monument to the Discoveries, and the sleek lines of the MAAT museum, all from the unique perspective of the water.

Sailing further west, the coast transforms into a mix of elegant villas, hidden beaches, and peaceful bays. In Oeiras, you’ll encounter a charming blend of nature and architecture, with its tranquil marina and inviting coastline. Shortly after, you’ll reach the golden sands of Carcavelos, one of the region’s most beloved beaches, known for its long stretch of sand and popular surf scene.

Should you wish to extend your journey all the way to Cascais, you’ll be rewarded with views of a postcard-perfect village with colorful buildings, a bustling marina, and a lively yet laid-back atmosphere. Depending on your preferences, you can pause to explore the town or simply enjoy the backdrop while having a drink on deck.

Throughout the cruise, the rhythm is entirely up to you. Whether you want to sunbathe, dive into the water, take photos, or simply enjoy the sea breeze with good company and music, this catamaran experience offers the perfect balance of adventure and relaxation. And as the day draws to a close, nothing beats the sight of the sun setting over the ocean, casting golden light across the water as you sail back toward Lisbon.

This is more than just a boat ride – it’s a day of freedom, discovery, and coastal charm, tailor-made for those who want to see Lisbon from a new and unforgettable perspective.

Itinerary

Starting location:: Doca de Alcântara, Lisbon, Portugal
Suggested Itinerary & Highlights: While the itinerary is fully customizable, the most recommended and popular route is the one heading west toward Cascais, a stunning journey that blends natural beauty, historical landmarks, and a touch of seaside charm. Here’s what you’ll experience along the way: Algés As you leave Lisbon behind, Algés marks the beginning of your coastal escape. With panoramic views of the 25 de Abril Bridge and the city's riverside skyline, it's the perfect point to ease into the relaxing rhythm of the ocean. Belém Sailing past Belém offers one of the most iconic perspectives of Lisbon’s maritime heritage. From the water, you’ll admire architectural gems like the Torre de Belém, the impressive Monument to the Discoveries, and the modern curves of the MAAT Museum, all beautifully lining the shore. Oeiras Further along, the coast becomes more peaceful. Oeiras welcomes you with its elegant marina, quiet bays, and lush green surroundings. This area is ideal for a relaxing break, a swim, or simply to enjoy the blend of coastal architecture and nature. Carcavelos A long stretch of golden sand and a hub for local surfers, Carcavelos is a lively and energetic beach. While the waves here are usually better suited for water sports than swimming, it's a great place to cruise by, take photos, or enjoy the vibrant view from your catamaran. Cascais – The Highlight of the Day If you choose to follow the full recommended route, you'll reach the charming coastal town of Cascais — the highlight of the experience. Once a traditional fishing village, Cascais has evolved into one of Portugal’s most elegant seaside destinations, known for its colorful architecture, bustling marina, and relaxed yet refined atmosphere. Depending on your preferences, you can anchor nearby to enjoy a drink onboard, take in the coastal views, or hop ashore to explore its cobbled streets and hidden gems. It’s the perfect spot to unwind before beginning your sunset sail back to Lisbon.

Best day of my life! I booked this catamaran for my birthday with 17 friends, and it exceeded every possible expectation. My first concern was whether there would be enough space for all of us — and honestly, there could have been 17 more, that’s how spacious and comfortable it was. Everything about the day was perfect, thanks to Lulu and Frankie. They were beyond amazing — attentive, caring, always ready to help with anything we needed, and at the same time they completely embraced the party vibe, becoming part of the celebration rather than just hosts. The catamaran itself is in pristine condition, with plenty of room to relax and enjoy the sun. Sailing along Lisbon’s coast was absolutely breathtaking, and the whole experience felt unique and unforgettable for everyone on board. I would 100% recommend this to anyone looking for a memorable day on the water — whether with friends, family, or for a special celebration. It was simply perfect.
