The Luxurious Setting of the Private Catamaran

The tour departs from Doca de Alcantara Norte in Lisbon, where the Blue Skipper Snacks & Drinks meeting point ensures easy access. The small vessel set-up reduces the crowd size, allowing guests to enjoy a more relaxed atmosphere. Inside and outside tables are available, giving flexibility to those who prefer to soak up the sun or enjoy the shade while savoring their brunch.

This luxurious catamaran provides a smooth, stable ride across the Tagus River, providing excellent vantage points for sightseeing. The vessel’s intimate size means fewer people and a more personalized experience compared to larger boats often crowded with travelers.

Unbeatable Views of Lisbon’s Top Landmarks

As the catamaran sails along the Tagus River, it passes under the 25th of April Bridge, connecting the north and south sides of Lisbon since 1966. The tour offers stunning views of the MAAT (Museum of Art, Architecture, and Technology), the historic Belém Tower (built between 1514 and 1520), and the Padrão dos Descobrimentos monument celebrating Portugal’s explorers.

One of the highlights is seeing the Cristo Rei statue, inspired by Brazil’s famous Christ the Redeemer. Built in 1959, it was erected to fulfill a promise made by the Portuguese episcopate, promising to build a statue if Portugal avoided entering World War II. The Cristo Rei offers a majestic sight from the river, and the cruise allows for a perfect photo opportunity of this impressive monument.

Top Landmark Stops and Photo Opportunities

The cruise provides excellent angles for photographs at several iconic sites. The Belém Tower is a UNESCO-listed fortress that once protected the city and now stands as a symbol of Lisbon’s maritime history. The Fundação Champalimaud also features along the route, adding to the scenic and cultural richness viewed from the water.

Guests will also enjoy views of the Padrão dos Descobrimentos, which commemorates Portugal’s Age of Exploration, and the Cristo Rei statue. From the river, the square in front of Cristo Rei offers a stunning perspective and the ideal backdrop for memorable photos.

A Delicious Brunch with Drinks Included

The gourmet brunch served on the boat features a variety of bread, croissants, cheese, ham, eggs, bacon, yogurt, cereals, and fresh fruits. Sweet options include cakes and desserts, while savory snacks satisfy more substantial appetites.

Brunch is complemented by hot drinks such as coffee, milk, and orange juice, ensuring guests stay energized. The open bar elevates the experience further, with unlimited access to white and green wine, sparkling wine, white sangria, beer, sodas, and water, providing plenty of options to sip while enjoying the sights.

The Guide and Personalization

While specific guide names are not provided, the tour features a guide who points out landmarks along the route, enhancing the sightseeing experience. The small-group setting means that the experience remains intimate, allowing for tailored conversations and more personalized attention.

Guests have the choice between inside or outside tables, depending on weather and personal preferences, offering flexibility to enjoy the stunning river views comfortably.
