Things to Do in Lisbon by Boat Rental
The Portuguese capital was once at the centre of a vast maritime empire. Today, you can charter a yacht in Lisbon or Cascais to explore the Tagus river or the Atlantic coast and enjoy Lisbon by boat.
A mixture of modern culture and fascinating history, Lisbon is a thrilling city to visit any time of year. From the labyrinthine alleys of Alfama, to the lively Bairro Alto, visitors will find it hard to squeeze everything in. Enjoying Lisbon by boat is one of the best things for visitors to experience when in this fantastic city.
As a maritime city, there are plenty of places to find a Sailo yacht charter and enjoy some quality time sailing in Portugal. With a boat rental, you’ll be able to see the city in a different light, take in a unique angle of the city’s beautiful landscape and enjoy some peace and quiet away from the crowds.
The Tagus River
Lisbon actually sits at the mouth of the River Tagus, rather than on the sea itself, making it a perfect place to enjoy some time on the water. With its sheltered location, even novice sailors will find the waters perfect for exploring Lisbon by boat with their private yacht charter.
With a day to explore, visitors can sail to the Tejo Estuary Natural Park, discover some of the satellite towns in the estuary or simply enjoy relaxing on deck.
The Atlantic coast
More intrepid sailors will delight at the opportunities available for sailing Lisbon. The nearby towns of Estoril and Cascais are sailing hotspots. Both of these towns are known for being upscale retreats from the capital, with many local and international celebrities living here.
If you want to explore the Atlantic coast and suburbs of Lisbon by boat, you’ll find ample choice on Sailo. Choose from bareboats or captained yacht charter in Lisbon, with choices of sailboats, motorboats, luxury yachts and simple day trip craft.
