We had the most amazing... - We had the most amazing time on board the palma yacht. Great way to spend the time learning about Alison, maritime history and see the city from a different vantage point. We skipped the busy sunset cruise for an early morning and had the yacht to ourselves 😍. Definitely a must

Exactly what we expected!! - What a great adventure!! Benny and Vasco were great guides/ captains on this 2 hr sunset sail around Lisbon. Our first day in Lisbon and this was a great way to start it off. A simple cocktail, a great amount of history they shared and new friends were made. It was Very easy to uber to the marina only about 15 min from the downtown Lisboa areas. Thank you again for a great time. Amber and Steve

You should really experience this - What a fantastic experience. Benny and Fransisco were very open and speak very good English. Both knew a lot about the history and the delicious wine on board was the icing on the cake. Have experienced quite a lot of excursions but this one was great in a word. And thank you for letting me sail myself.
