Experience a magical Lisbon sunset and savor local tapas in Alfama
Tapas and Portuguese wine at a neighborhood taberna in Alfama lead into a sunset cruise on the Tagus, aboard a skippered motor boat that holds six guests at most, with a glass of wine included on board.
A private motor boat, capped at six guests and timed to catch the light turning gold behind Belém Tower, closes out an evening that starts with a guided taberna crawl through Alfama: bacalhau à brás, grilled sardines, and a glass of Portuguese wine before the wine continues on deck. Both halves run as one booking, with a skipper who works this same sunset window regularly. Built for couples and small groups who want one full evening on the water and in the neighborhood, not two bookings pieced together.
A guide leads the walk through Alfama, setting the pace to match your group.

A tip for your guide (not required, but if they earn it, they'll appreciate it)
Booking a sunset boat yourself means guessing the exact minute the sun drops behind the bridge. Your guide runs the taberna stop and the river crossing as one evening, with departure timed to that day's actual sunset, not a fixed hour.
Hotel Pickup · Lisbon city center
If your hotel is in central Lisbon, your guide meets you there to start the walk into Alfama. If you're staying outside the center, you'll receive your exact meeting point before the tour date.
Alfama walking tour · Lisbon's oldest quarter
Your guide leads you through Alfama's steep, cobbled streets, putting the neighborhood's Moorish-era layout and centuries as Lisbon's fishing quarter into context on the way to the taberna.
Taberna stop · Alfama
A seated stop for Portuguese classics, bacalhau à brás and grilled sardines, with drinks included, before continuing down to the river.
Transfer to the dock · Tagus riverfront
A short walk from Alfama to the water, where your skipper is already waiting, no separate transport booking to arrange.
Sunset cruise · Tagus River
Your private motor boat, skippered and capped at six guests, pulls away from the dock as the sun starts dropping toward the 25 de Abril Bridge, passing Belém Tower along the way, with a glass of Portuguese wine served on board.
Return · Same Tagus dock
The cruise returns to where it began, and the tour concludes there. Onward transport isn't included, so getting back to your hotel is your own arrangement.
