We had a wonderful time on board with Joao! I highly recommend. He is super laid back, knowledgeable about all things Lisbon, and the surrounding areas, and we had a lot of fun!
Joao & Ines were amazing , such a good vibe , make sure we were comfortable , even booked lunch in a nice restaurant in casquais . It was a blast , memories been made . I highly recommend!!!
We had the most wonderful 3 hours on board Joao’s sailboat. We were allowed to bring our own food and drinks and there was a cool box full of ice on board to keep our drinks cold. The kids really wanted to have a swim from the boat so Joao anchored at a nearby beach and the kids had the best time jumping from the sailboat into the sea. Both Joao and Douglas were so welcoming and friendly and also very supportive in helping my elderly mother climb onto the boat. The trip was most enjoyable and informative, Joao pointed out all the sights and we learned so much from all the information and stories he shared. This trip was a definite highlight of our Lisbon holiday. Highly recommend to anyone looking to book a sailboat tour while in Lisbon!!
Wow is all I can say! João is an incredible host, this was the best boat experience I’ve ever had. I booked this for my birthday with friends and family and everything was tip top! From the service to the locations, João makes sure you have the most magical time. It was really excellent and a memory I’ll have forever. I cannot recommend him enough.
Great experience! I will rent again. Thank you for the day
Joao was a fun sailing companion for the day. Competent, accommodating, and made the whole thing an excellent experience for all involved, including the 3 kids we had in tow. Totally recommended if you're looking in Lisbon!
Joao e Carlos, no words to describe the quality of your service, kindness and friendship. The experience of a sailboat is always amazing, mainly for sea lovers, but you rise the experience to other level. No doubt will meet you again. Thanks for everything, and see you soon!
As a way of celebrating a birthday, I think the experience could not have been more impeccable. I give it 5* just because there aren't 6... Thank you very much João and Cláudia!
Very good experience with Joao. Very attentive and the perfect boat.
Everything perfect, the arrival, the hospitality and the trip. 100% recommendable.
We had a great day with Joao.
I was lucky enough to go on this trip with friends and, to our surprise, it coincided with a boat event on the river, making the experience even more special. The weather was perfect, with clear skies and calm waters, and João proved to be a skilled navigator, making the trip both smooth and informative. I highly recommend it!
Joao was an excellent host. At all times he was attentive to our needs. Both before, during and after the service, he was attentive and responded quickly to our questions. All members of the group just love it. Highly recommended.
