What people are saying about Almada

We absolutely LOVED it. The whole experience was way more than just a touristic ride on the river. The peaceful moment when the motor is turned off and there is only the sound of the wind taking us down the river towards the sunset.... Valter is an amazing host, teaching us the basics about sailing. We weren't only seated down enjoying as we were helping him with the manœuvres or simply just enjoying. He even let us have control of the helm. It was not our first time in a similar experience but this was way better, it was almost a masterclass where you can lay down and relax whenever you want. We had a beautiful sunset, and the views from the riverside are awesome. Valter had some drinks and snacks for us which made this whole experience close to perfection. Thank you so much for this unforgettable moment

A fantastic experience! Super nice to see the city from the water. If you want you can stand behind the helm which is very cool! Valter told us a lot of interesting things about the city. It was a super fun and relaxed experience for us. Highly recommended if you are in Lisbon!

Had a very nice sailing trip with Valter and got some more information about the Lisbon history and good restaurants. It was a very relaxed Tour with a nice sunset. I can really recommend this Tour. You can even helf with the Sailing if you want.

Both instructors were very helpful especially for first time surfers. They have years of experience and even provided local food and drink recommendations for your trip In Portugal. Would definitely go again!

Amazing experience! The instructor was very prepared and helpful to correct mistakes to get the best from this experience
