Guidekin's take

A small yacht kept to eight passengers under the six bridges with a captain who guides in person, fees included, and an upgrade to a larger boat for up to ten.

Transport to the marina is not included. 5 from 153 reviews at €50 per person for 2h.

Best for: A shared yacht capped small, with an in-person guide in English, Spanish or Portuguese: 5 from 153 reviews at €50 per person. Sailing Tours comparison

Trade-off: Review base still small at 153.
