History
The Tagus River has been Lisbon’s heartbeat for over 2,000 years—first as a Phoenician trading post, then the launchpad for Portugal’s Age of Discoveries when explorers like Vasco da Gama set sail under crimson sunsets. Belém’s monuments were built to celebrate those voyages, glowing at dusk just as they did in the 15th century.
In the 1990s, post-revolution Lisbon transformed its industrial docks into nightlife hubs. The sunset boat party was born: catamarans replaced caravels, DJs replaced navigators, and sangria replaced ship’s rum—keeping the river’s party spirit alive for a new era.
Highlights
- Dance and celebrate in an unique way: aboard a boat on the Tagus River in Lisbon

The open bar ignites: bartenders pour frothy Super Bock, chilled white wine, red sangria loaded with oranges, and Coke on ice. The boat slips past Praça do Comércio’s grand arches, under the glowing 25 de Abril Bridge, and toward Belém’s silhouette as the sun melts into the Atlantic.

Reviews
- Solo and nervous? Within 10 minutes I was dancing with people from Brazil, Germany, and Australia. DJ killed it, sangria was endless, sunset was unreal.
- Priscila and Runa were pouring legends—never an empty cup. Even with clouds, the vibe was electric. Bringing the whole crew next time!
- Fog rolled in, but the crew turned it into a rave. DJ kept the energy high, drinks strong, views still stunning. Best €26 in Lisbon.

FAQ's
What happens if the weather forces cancellation or changes?
Your safety and fun are non-negotiable. If wind speeds exceed 25 km/h, heavy rain persists, or fog reduces visibility below 500 meters, the captain—licensed by the Maritime Authority—may shorten the route, switch to a fully covered vessel, or (in extreme cases, <2 % of sailings) cancel with automatic full refund within 24 hours. For minor weather (clouds, light drizzle), the party sails on—the catamaran has a spacious indoor lounge with panoramic windows, rain ponchos, and the DJ moves inside. You’ll be notified via WhatsApp/email 2 hours prior using the contact from your booking. Past “foggy” cruises still hit 5 stars: the crew amps the music, lights, and drink service to compensate. No sunset? The city lights at night are just as magical.
Is the open bar truly unlimited, and what’s included?
Yes—unlimited means exactly that: from boarding to docking, you can order as many drinks as you responsibly enjoy. The bar stocks Super Bock beer (draft and bottles), chilled white and red Portuguese wine (Vinho Verde and Douro blends), red sangria (fresh fruit, cinnamon, brandy kick), and soft drinks (Coke, Sprite, orange juice, still/sparkling water). Bartenders mix fresh sangria every 20 minutes in 20-liter batches, restock ice constantly, and serve in sturdy plastic cups with lids available for dancing. No hard liquor or shots, but the sangria is potent (12 % ABV). Water stations with lemon slices are free-flowing to keep you hydrated. Crew monitors for over-intoxication and reserves the right to pause service—safety first, but 99 % of guests pace perfectly and dance it off.
Can I join solo, and will I fit in?
Solo travelers are the heartbeat of this cruise—60 % of guests arrive alone and leave with 10+ new contacts. The international crowd (Erasmus students, digital nomads, stag/hen parties, locals) bonds instantly over the shared sunset and first drink. The DJ starts with crowd-pleasers (Despacito, Calvin Harris) to break ice; crew hosts mini games (dance-offs, shout-outs). Within 15 minutes, you’re trading Instagram handles with someone from Colombia while passing Belém Tower. The catamaran layout helps: bow for photos, mid-deck for dancing, stern for chill chats. No cliques—everyone’s here to party. Past solos call it “the best night of my Eurotrip.”
Is the boat safe and stable for dancing?
The 23-meter catamaran was built for party stability: twin hulls, low center of gravity, and a wide 10-meter beam mean minimal rocking even with 100+ dancers jumping to reggaeton. The deck is coated in non-slip marine flooring; handrails line every edge; life jackets are under every seat and demonstrated at boarding. The captain adjusts speed (max 12 knots) to keep motion smooth. Seasickness? The calm Tagus + short duration = near-zero incidents. No heels allowed (flip-flops or sneakers); barefoot is fine. The crew includes lifeguards and first-aid trained staff. Even grandparents dance—stability is that good.
What landmarks do we see, and how close do we get?
The route is a sunset greatest-hits tour: depart past Praça do Comércio (50 m offshore—perfect for group selfies with the arches), sail under the 25 de Abril Bridge (clearance 70 m, you’ll feel the hum), circle Belém Tower (30 m away—close enough to see the Manueline carvings glow), pass the Monument to the Discoveries (wave to the stone explorers), and salute Christ the King across the river. The captain slows or circles for photos at golden hour. Total: 6 icons in 2 hours, narrated in English/Portuguese over the mic between songs. No stops, but the views are front-row. Bring a zoom lens or just your phone—the light is magic.
