About this property
Lisbon Sailboat Stay + Sunset Boat Tour
Experience Lisbon from the water! Sleep aboard a sailboat moored at Alcântara Marina and wake up to stunning marina views. Your stay includes an unforgettable 2 hours boat tour to admire the city's iconic landmarks from the river. If you’d like, you can even help with manoeuvring the boat,
Equipped with all essential comforts for a unique overnight stay, the boat is steps away from top restaurants, nightlife, and buses/trams. Book your memorable nautical getaway in Lisbon today!
Welcome aboard! ⛵
To ensure you have the best possible stay, we would like to share a few important details about life on a sailboat:
It's a genuine sailboat, not a cruise ship: Living on a boat is an authentic and charming experience, but space and amenities are compact. Comfort on board is simple and minimalist. We have heating for cooler nights, but no air conditioning. The bathroom is really small and works in a completely different way to the one at home
Physical mobility is required: Boarding the boat and moving around inside involves steps, narrow passages, and uneven surfaces. As a result, this experience is not suitable for guests with reduced mobility, physical limitations, or balance issues. Young people and families with children usually love it, but older people aren’t so keen.
You’ll stay on a 12-metre sailing yacht with 2 cabins, 2 bathrooms, a kitchenette, and a salon with convertible bed — offering apartment-style amenities with a nautical twist. Relax on deck at sunset or soak up the sights and sounds of the marina. Guests consistently highlight the unique, peaceful vibe and comfort of this space.
However keep in mind this is a sailboat boat, not a cruise ship and you must have a good phisycal
Guest Review Highlights ⭐️ “A truly unique experience — falling asleep with the sound of water was magical.” ⭐️ “Much more comfortable than expected and perfectly located for exploring Lisbon.” ⭐️ “Clean, cozy and surprisingly spacious — felt like a floating apartment.” ⭐️ “Peaceful at night, lively during the day — the best of both worlds.” ⭐️ “An unforgettable stay that made our Lisbon trip extra special.”
One of our guests wrote that this is a real boat, in real water and in real weather. This sentence summarizes it all.
The boat is not a boat during the day and an apartment at night, it will move with the wind and with the water, the cables hit the masts with the wind, the ships enter and leave the port at night.
If it's raining, I cannot do anything because I'm not the weatherman. The weather forecast is very accurate for less than 5 days and pretty good for less than 14 days.

Exceptional
All reviews shown are from real guest experiences. Only travelers who have booked a stay with us can submit a review. We verify reviews according to our guidelines and publish all reviews, positive or negative.
Wonderful stay, owner and captain did everything possible to enhance our visit including a very special sailing trip and coaching. Location was great and easy to move around Lisbon. 100% recommend this location and the propose manager Paulo.
I really enjoyed staying on a sailboat. Paulo is a great host. The marina is safe, and has hot showers! The location is an easy wl to busses and traibs
Paolo was a fantastic host . He kept to his word , he made sure I had everything I needed to enjoy my stay. He is peaceful , very welcoming and there when needed .
We chose this place as a family as it seemed more interesting than staying in an apartment. There is a supermarket within walking distance and some good restaurants. An added bonus was the sunset sail (which we hadn't realised until after booking). Paulo let us know a good driving route around Sintra and areas to visit in Lisbon. Parking at the marina is easy. Really enjoyed our stay and not many people can say they stayed on a sailing boat when they visited Lisbon.

Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in
Challenging
We arrived by Uber from the airport and were surprised that the host had forgotten our reservation and not prepared the boat. He did offer us a very nice apartment for the night which was clean and comfortable. We were never on the boat. I would recommend contacting the host several days in advance to remind of your arrival.
Loved our stay on the boat! It clearly was something different and had to try it!
The property manager met us and explained how everything worked on the boat. Listen cause it’s helpful.
We parked our car in the marina and it was very cheap for the week! Cheaper than street parking.
The master bed took a little getting use to with 2 in it and little padding but for the experience of being on a sail boat we made it work.
There is a cute cafe that opens early for coffee and pastries and has mid day lunch as well in the parking lot of the marina. That became our go to.
There is however a night club Krystal’s close by that does play loud music …. Only once it played from 10pm to 6am!!!! But just once during our stay.
We will remember this romantic stay in the sailboat
