Halcyon I - Historical Lisbon boat tours

For a full day, we suggest a private cruise to Cascais (8 hours cruise)

 

Leaving from Alcantara harbour at 10:00 am, we make course to Cascais. Two and a half hours sailing ahead.

As we pass under 25 April's bridge, we start seeing Bugio lighthouse and St Julian's fortress, at the end of the river Tagus and halfway to Cascais bay.

Usually, we have a NW wind, so we usually go on engines and sails, on the way to Cascais.

 

Cascais is the wealthy neighborhood of Lisbon. Used to be a holiday and fishermen's village. It still is a quiet city and it's very nice to go for a troll by the center's old streets.

 

Cascais bay gives a good shelter for fishermen and so is very appreciated for dropping the anchor and have a swim.

 

As we stop the engines, lunch is ready to be served. We cook very appreciated typical Portuguese food, with cheese for starter, Bacalhau à Brás and chocolate cake for dessert. Half a bottle of wine per guest.

After lunch, guests can choose from going ashore or staying on board and enjoy the sunbaths until about 3:30 pm.

 

Time to hoist sails and we usually stop the engines until the entrance of the Tagus. Depending on the wind and tides, we sail or start engines at the entrance of the river and expect to be back to port by 6:00 pm.
