The Best Day of our 30 day trip-A REAL BARGAIN - The captain and the first mate were fabulous hosts. Got a nice tour on the way to the boat. I do need the captain to contact me st [email protected] to check on something i left on the boat.
This was one of the best days of our trip!
The time with the dolphins was very special as was the paddle-boarding into the caves!

Best day ever: the perfect blend of relaxing boat day and exotic adventure with knowledgable and friendly crew! - I CANNOT RECOMMEND ENOUGH!!! My friends and I had the best day of our entire trip on this yacht tour. The tour guide, captain, and crew were some of the kindest most welcoming people we met on our trip. The scenery was stunning, the paddleboarding was so fun, and the boat was gorgeous. At the end of the tour, my friends and I were sad to leave this wonderful experience with such lovely people. If I ever have the privilege of coming back to Lisbon I will be booking this tour again.

Just perfect, book it now! - I rarely write reviews but had to give a 5* recommendation for this trip with Luis and Gil. Everything was perfect.
Luis picked up from our hotel right on time and after a quick drive down to Sesimbra we boarded the boat and set out for the best day ever. It wasn't long before dolphins came out to play, then we dropped anchor for some paddle boarding and swimming (ask Luis about his patented snorkelling method - not to be missed) and then headed over to the east to see more of the Arrábida national park.
Luis and Gil are just the loveliest guys and made our family feel completely welcome from beginning to end. Book this trip - you won't regret it.

Best part of our Europe trip. - The guides Louis and Gil were very knowledgeable of Portugal and the history of each location we visited. They have a great sense of humor and are expert navigators. I would recommend this to anyone who is looking to get out on the water with friends, go on a date, take a family trip or just get in the ocean. Shout out to the lads!

Enjoy the amazing Portugal coastline and Atlantic Ocean from a comfortable yacht! - MUST DO! This is an amazing day in the Atlantic Ocean on a great yacht! Learning to paddle board was so much fun! Exploring the caves along the coast and snorkeling was phenomenal! Jumping into the ocean from the back platform was fun and completed a bucket-list trip! The crew was exceptional - friendly, informative, and courteous- we enjoyed our trip with them. The yacht was spacious and comfortable for us. Highly recommend this as a great way to enjoy time in Portugal with natural sites, adventure, and comfort!!!!!

Best excursion in Lisbon (10 stars!!) - Out of all the things we did in Lisbon this was the very best! The guides were amazing, the boat was beautiful and the coast was gorgeous. There were very few waves and it was very smooth sailing. We saw about 20 dolphins that played and put on a spectacular show around the boat. Then we went for a great ride to a Arrabida where we paddle boarded into caves and around the stunning cliffs and rock formations. We then paddled to the beach and played in the water for about an hour. Back on the boat for another scenic ride where a tinder picked us up and took us to shore for lunch. The yacht was super nice and had bathroom, kitchenette, fridge, etc. Totally worth every cent! Luis and Gil made sure our every need was met. They even let my two boys drive the boat. We were a family of 6, we took our two teens, 7yo and my 65 yo mom. Everyone agreed it was the best excursion of the trip!

Best boat day ever! - Our group had the best time! The guys were so friendly. They went above and beyond, they even found my friend’s sunglasses in the ocean when she lost them! We saw dolphins on our trip! The boat was clean and had many amenities to make our trip just so fun. Highly recommend this, this day made our trip.

Incredible experience - All I can say is WOW. An absolutely incredible experience and real treat to celebrate my husband’s birthday.
Gill and luis were impeccable hosts and could not have done more for us. Luis collected us from our hotel and was so friendly and explained and pointed out interesting facts about Lisbon as we drove. He then drove us to the harbour and showed us where the fisherman sought their fish and equipment . I had never seen that before so I found it really interesting. Once on board we were told to make use of the boat as if it was our own. We bought food and drinks aboard which was great. Gill explained to us about the natural park we would be seeing and areas we would be sailing to.
I had read the reviews that some people were lucky enough to see dolphins but we not only saw them we saw 6-8 of them playing under the boat for about 15 solid minutes!! Only a meter away. It was absolutely incredible and a experience I will never ever forget.
Our first stop we took the boards out and explored the caves and then had lunch. After sailing some more we stopped for another swim.
Through out we chatted with luis and Gill who were so friendly and interesting but they also gave us space to enjoy our time as well.
I can not recommend this experience more.
