Overview
We are Salty Boat Tours, and we'd love to welcome you aboard our 40feet/12meters sailing boat, where we live :)
Who are we?
Rita, the sailor of the team. Passionate about navigation and life at sea
Pedro, the storyteller who will share local stories, and fascinating facts about Lisbon, the Tagus River, and the landmarks you’ll see along the way
More than showing Lisbon from the water, we invite our guests aboard our home for a genuine, relaxed, and unforgettable experience. We want everyone to enjoy the beauty of the Tagus and leave with wonderful memories.
As we sail, you’ll enjoy stunning views of Lisbon’s waterfront, feel the breeze in the sails, and experience the city far from the crowds.
We will show you the most iconic monuments (Christ the King, Tower of Belem, Monument of the Discoveries, amongst others) and tell you about the history behind them.
As we cruise in the river, we will provide you Portuguese green/white/rose wines and beers.
We look forward to seeing you!

Itinerary
-
Stop 1
This striking suspension bridge, opened in 1966, was originally named after dictator Salazar but was renamed following the 1974 Carnation Revolution. Reminiscent of San Francisco’s Golden Gate Bridge, it shares both its International Orange color and design inspiration, built by the same American company.
-
Stop 2
Overlooking the Tagus River, the grand Praça do Comércio—also known locally as Terreiro do Paço—is one of Lisbon’s most iconic squares. Rebuilt after the devastating 1755 earthquake, it became the centerpiece of the city’s Pombaline Downtown. Since the 19th century, it has housed several key Portuguese government departments
-
Stop 3
Dominating one of Lisbon’s hills, São Jorge Castle has served as a royal residence, military stronghold, and archive over the centuries. At its base lies Alfama, Lisbon’s oldest quarter, which survived the 1755 earthquake largely intact. Nearby Mouraria, once home to Lisbon’s Muslim population after the Christian reconquest, is a vibrant neighborhood rich in history and tradition
-
Stop 4
Perched in Almada across the river, the towering Cristo Rei monument was inspired by the Christ the Redeemer statue in Rio de Janeiro. With open arms facing Lisbon, it serves as a powerful symbol of faith and peace.
-
Stop 5
The Monument of the Discoveries is a monument on the northern bank of the Tagus River estuary, in the civil parish of Santa Maria de Belém, Lisbon. Located along the river where ships departed to explore and trade with India and the Orient, the monument celebrates the Portuguese Age of Discovery (or "Age of Exploration") during the 15th and 16th centuries
-
Stop 6
Belém Tower, officially the Tower of Saint Vincent is a 16th-century fortification located in Lisbon that served as a point of embarkation and disembarkation for Portuguese explorers and as a ceremonial gateway to Lisbon
