Private Sail along the Tagus River (40ft)
I had a fantastic time! Teresa, the boat owner, and Pedro, the skipper, were outstanding hosts. Communication with Teresa before sailing was excellent. She answered all my questions and provided very good guidance to prepare me for the boat ride. Originally, I was planning to ride with friends and family. Unfortunately, they all were unable to join me and I ended up going by myself. As we began sailing, I realized that we were riding mostly on engine power. When I asked why, Teresa and Pedro explained that it was to attempt to follow a tour path to highlight the most scenic places along the Tagus River with the prevailing winds which were not favorable to actually sail to those points. Since it was just me, I asked if we could actually go “sailing” as opposed to hitting specific points along the predetermined course. Both Teresa and Pedro were happy to agree and we enjoyed a fun time sailing. I was most impresed with Pedro attentiveness to safety. When I would get curious as to why he was doing something (i.e.: keeping the engine on and in neutral while under sail to allow for prompt maneuvering around traffic along the river), the answer was “safety!” Above all, I appreciated Pedro’s passion and dedication and his willingness to share the art of sailing with me. I hope to return and highly recommend them! Thank you!

Ana Franco - River Cruise in Lisboa
I couldn’t recommend Marlin tours enough. I’ve rented two boats from them on different occasions and everything was always so smooth from beginning to end. Marta is THE BEST at answering inquiries, very clear communications with her. On the day, Catarina was in charge of our trip and she was so tremendously great and attentive to all of us. The crew was lovely and so friendly as well. We had BBQ on board and it was delicious! Thank you! Every one of my guests had a blast!

Sunset Lovers - for those who dare to see Lisbon from other prespectives [PRIVATE TOUR]
Had a really great time sailing with Nuno. I sail regularly and just wanted to go out and cruise around and he was very happy to let me customize my experience and take the helm. (This is actually hard to find - most sailing excursions are pretty fixed and just designed for passengers) He was extremely knowledgeable about the area from both a sailing and general point of view. Whether you’re an experienced sailor looking to get out on the water or just want to customize your own excursion I highly recommend sailing with Nuno!
