Catamaran Tours in Lisbon

A catamaran is the steadiest, most sociable way to get out on the Tagus, and in Lisbon that means the whole riverfront skyline from the water: the 25 de Abril bridge, Belem Tower, the Cristo Rei statue and Praca do Comercio sliding by from a wide, stable deck. Where a sailboat leans and a small boat bounces, a catamaran stays flat, which suits groups, families and anyone who would rather hold a drink than a rail.

The catamaran tours on this page are ones we picked by hand, the boats with the space and the crew to make an easy afternoon. When you compare catamaran trips in Lisbon, look at the timing and what is included. A daytime cruise often has a swim stop off the south bank in summer; a sunset catamaran is the one for the golden light and the city coming on, usually with drinks and music on deck. Most leave from the Doca de Santo Amaro under the bridge, run a couple of hours, and stay calm enough for a relaxed crowd.

For a group that wants room to move and a drink in hand, the catamaran beats the smaller boats. Morning is flattest; the sunset run is the showstopper.
