We are Rita and Pedro, the team behind Salty Boat Tours and we would like to welcome you onboard our boat, where we actually live!
Rita - the sailor of the team. Passionate about navigation and life at sea
Pedro - the storyteller who will share local stories, and fascinating facts about Lisbon, the Tagus River, and the landmarks you’ll see along the way
More than showing Lisbon from the water, we invite our guests aboard our home for a genuine, relaxed, and unforgettable experience. We want everyone to enjoy the beauty of the Tagus and leave with wonderful memories.
As we sail, you’ll enjoy stunning views of Lisbon’s waterfront, feel the breeze in the sails, and experience the city far from the crowds.
We will show you the most iconic monuments (Christ the King, Tower of Belem, Monument of the Discoveries, amongst others) and tell you the history behind them.
As we cruise in the river, we will provide you portuguese green/white/rose wine and beers.
We look forward to seeing you!

-
Ponte 25 de Abril (Pass by)
This striking suspension bridge, opened in 1966, was originally named after dictator Salazar but was renamed following the 1974 Carnation Revolution. Reminiscent of San Francisco’s Golden Gate Bridge, it shares both its International Orange color and design inspiration, built by the same American company.

Overlooking the Tagus River, the grand Praça do Comércio—also known locally as Terreiro do Paço—is one of Lisbon’s most iconic squares.

Dominating one of Lisbon’s hills, São Jorge Castle has served as a royal residence, military stronghold, and archive over the centuries.

Nearby Mouraria, once home to Lisbon’s Muslim population after the Christian reconquest, is a vibrant neighborhood rich in history and tradition
