The 10 Best Boat Tours & Water Sports in Lisbon, Central Portugal

April 11, 2022 Natalie Tallman

The museums of Lisbon celebrate the rich history and culture of this Portuguese capital city. The Maritime Museum is perfect for kids (and grown-ups!) who adore all things nautical, while the Casa-Museu Dr. Anastácio Gonçalves is a hidden gem of colorful artwork. To fully appreciate the city’s dramatic stone architecture you can take a guided walking tour, or customize your own tour, making sure to visit the Padrao dos Descobrimentos, the Mosteiro dos Jeronimos, and the UNESCO World Heritage site the Torre de Belem.

Around Lisbon

Around Lisbon is not your typical Tour Company, as you may have known them. In fact, we don’t like to think of Around Lisbon as a business. It is rather the special life project of two friends, who wanted to develop a friendly local company to cater to like-minded people from all over the world. Our goal is to be your "local friends" who help you enjoy Lisbon and Portugal to the fullest. That makes our day too.

Halcyon I - Historical Lisbon Boat Tours

Halcyon I has been my home since 2010. Built in Belem, between 1968 and 1970, and designed in Scotland, by G. L. Watson & Co, it is the last of three boats, made under the same design. Wood is teak, from Goa, in India, weights 35 tons and still has the same, original Leyland six cylinder engines, as in 1970. Every day, all year round, we leave Alcantara harbour, for a two hours sunset tour. We sail down to Belem Tower and up to Alfama, describing the monuments and it's History, in English and French. Then, you can appreciate sunset over the city of Lisbon. Up to eighteen guests, there's lots of space to walk around and enjoy the cruise. Sparkling wine and nibbles included, along the entire cruise. We hoist all sails, almost every day. We also have a private three hours program (lunch or dinner included), a full day private cruise to Cascais, lunch included, and a more than three days charter to Arrabida Natural Park. Take a look to our website for full details.
