LISBON BOAT TOURS

Miguel is a sailor and a professional chef at his own restaurant that specializes in Portuguese seafood and fish, located in the noble Chiado district, near Trindade Theater. Natacha is also chef (working in Lisbon and Azorean restaurants), a skipper and a fisherwoman. Together they will create exclusive delicious tastings just for you!

Miguel also owns this beautiful and spacious sailboat, sharing his days between the stove and the helm. He’s crossed oceans, was a sacristan and is a hardworking man, full of stories and memories to share!

You’ll also be hosted by Silvia, Zara or Marina, food tour guides and the founder of Oh! My Cod Food Tours.

Private tours are also available for booking. Dolphin watching is not guaranteed.

Our Sailboat is from 2002, is 45 feet (14 meters), and takes up to 9 people (+ crew 3).

It’s affectionately kept by Miguel as one of his loves. You will feel that once you step inside it!

Unlike other sailboats, this one is very spacious, allowing us to enjoy the trip in a relaxed and safe way.

Fully equipped with a table outside and inside a kitchenette, 2 rooms and 1 toilet.

• Up to 5 food tastings (unique fish dish created by Chef Miguel, an exclusive cheese from a small producer, seasonal fruits, olives, bread/toasts)
• Up to 2 drink tastings (Port wine, exclusive white Portuguese wine from the Alentejo region, water, other non-alcoholic drinks)You will feel satisfied, but this is NOT a diner/lunch (at not for Portuguese standards!)

For extra offers ask our extra catering menu.

Apart from a cab, Uber or private car, you can also take public transport:

1. TRAIN Cais do Sodré – Cascais – train station where you will step out is Alcantara-Mar. Then, walk roughly 7-10 minutes to the coffee shop.
2. BUS – 728, 732 or 760. Step out from the bus on the Infanto Santo Station. You will then cross a bridge, to the riverside (this bridge allows you to cross over the train tracks). After a few minutes of walking towards the river, you can then look for the coffee shop.
3. TRAMWAY – numbers 15E or 18E. Same instructions as for the bus.
4. CAB/UBER – Ask the driver to leave you in front of the police station, named “Esquadra de Segurança e Controlo” or “Alfandega Marítima de Lisboa” near Doca de Alcantara. From there walk 2 minutes to the river and you will find the coffee shop.

Yes, always. Our crew is composed of three hosts. Aside from the chef and skipper, you will always have a guide that speaks either Portuguese, French, English, Spanish, Japanese, or a combination of languages.

The host/guide will provide you detailed information about the monuments, Portuguese history, interesting places to go on both sides of the river, hidden gems and reply to all the food-related questions you may have.

That said, all the crew members are able to add relevant local information according to their interests.

Children of all ages are welcome! If they are less than six (6) years old, the use of a lifejacket is mandatory.

For all departures, we recommend that you bring water to drink and a coat to protect you from the wind just in case. In the winter season, please bring a warm waterproof coat. For hot sunny days, please bring a bathing suit in case we go for a swim, a towel and never forget your sunscreen!

Shoes: The proper shoe to have aboard a boat is actually no shoes at all, but when it gets cold you’ll probably want something on your feet. Avoid high heels and shoes with a dark or black sole because they can damage the deck and mark the topside. 

Depending on your mode of transportation, it will be approximately 20 minutes by car, Uber or taxi or 40 minutes (including walking time) by bus, train or tram.
