Rent a boat in Setubal

Setúbal: from sardine fishing to meeting dolphins.

For those looking for Portugal's historical tourism, getting to know the monuments, tram rides and other typical activities, Lisbon and Sintra probably cater well. But for those seeking more original, and surprising tourism, at a minimum distance from the capital, there is Setúbal, a paradise of beaches, nature and also, culture.

A picturesque and authentic town, located between the sea, the river and the mountains, Setúbal holds many corners of absolutely untouched nature and does not disappoint if your thing is to discover new places, relax by the beach, and of course, take a beautiful boat trip, from the Troia Peninsula to Sesimbra.

Setúbal is, in its origin, a fishing village and the third port of Portugal. Thus, the town is known for its marine fauna and sardine fishing: you can catch or try them in the harbour!

During your sailing, dolphins will accompany your boat: the bay is home to a large population of these animals.

On land, Setúbal is rich in cultural heritage. There you will find the Church of Jesus de Setúbal, one of the first in the Manueline style. Inside is the city museum. Don't miss also the market on Avenida Luísa Todi to stock up on the region's delicious specialties.

Adventure to discover a place off the traditional tourist route, innovate on your holiday with a boat rental in Setúbal and create unforgettable memories!

• Figueirinha beach is one of those that makes you wonder why you've never heard of it. Crystal clear, clean blue waters, large strip of soft white sand and an endless view of the horizon. This beach is part of the Arrábida Natural Park, and is therefore a more secluded, quiet and protected place, ideal for families with children or those seeking quiet.
• The Meco Beach, in the town of Sesimbra, is another one that deserves attention. Its large, soft strip of sand makes it ideal for families, but its rough sea and strong winds speak louder for lovers of surfing, windsurfing and other water sports. Remember to bring your board when you come aboard!

A secluded corner in the middle of Setúbal bay, isolated but close to everything, with calm waters and golden sand, calm and simple. No hustle and bustle or parties, this is the place to escape from the world without having to go too far. And to make the view even better, dolphins may appear to keep you company!

Its intense blue sea has good waves and lots of wind, which makes it a favourite of those who want to practice surfing and other water sports, without giving up the day with the family!
