Highly recommended, even in winter — just wear the right jacket and you’ll be absolutely fine.”

Lisbon sunset sailing review with Tagus views, wine, snacks, landmarks, small groups, practical tips, and honest drawbacks.
“This trip was awful. The boat is a small sailboat. There is no bathroom on this two hour cruise. The cruise members were rude and disrespectful. They had no options for anyone who doesn’t drink their wine. There are no chairs or places to sit, except the hard deck. The snack was a very small plate of meat and cheese. Avoid this overpriced cruise at all costs.”
