I did a guided nautical tour with Vasco, and I like it very much. It was about three hours, everything was clean and the safety procedures were explained and ok. Communication was ok and the experience was very good. Price felt normal for me.

Review of Sebastien, Jan 2026
That was really really fine - one of the best boat experiences I got in Lisbon. Communication was great, everything was on time, we got everything we asked for and more, and I felt safe the whole trip with a wonderful team - the skipper and the guy on the boat were incredible. The boat is premium, well maintained and clean, and honestly I don’t see an equivalent in that marina, so I already recommended Sebastien to friends. Price felt a bit expensive but you get what you pay for, so for me it was worth it.

I’m still a customer in my second year now, and it’s been working really well for me. Last year I was on a sailing boat, and this year the fleet expanded and I’m now on a motorboat, which is a nice change, so I like that flexibility. The online booking platform works every time, and when I book something the boat is always there, so I’ve never had a problem on the time front. The price feels fair, and I have already recommended them.
Real price ranges from the jobs our vetted boat tour operators actually do. Prices updated August 2026

Charters on the Tejo are priced per boat for a half or full day, not per person, so splitting between a group is what makes it affordable. Fuel and skipper may be inside or outside the quote.
How much does a private boat trip cost in Lisbon?
The whole boat to yourselves for a set number of hours. Ask how many passengers the licence allows before assuming your group fits.

A boat with a professional skipper, which is what most visitors want and what insurers usually require without a licence. The skipper is normally inside the price.
