“This is the second time my husband and I did the Sunset Sail with Palma Yachts via Viator. Captain Miguel and Benny took great care of our family of six on this sail. The views of Lisbon from the water are beautiful and it was a family friendly activity. Our children are teens and young adults and everyone had a great time.

This has become a favorite activity of ours when visiting Lisbon. We highly recommend!”

“We had an unforgettable sunset sailboat ride in Lisbon! The views were stunning but what really made the experience stand out was the incredible staff. They were friendly, welcoming, and clearly passionate about what they do — they made us feel safe, relaxed, and completely taken care of the entire time. They answered all our questions, and even let our daughter get involved a bit. By the end of the trip, she was absolutely captivated — I think she may have found a new passion for sailing! It was peaceful, beautiful, and truly memorable. We’d recommend this experience to anyone visiting Lisbon.”
