Why Choose the Lisbon Catamaran Party?

This experience stands out because it’s not just a boat ride — it’s a celebration on the water. The three-hour cruise offers a superb chance to see Lisbon from a unique vantage point. The music keeps the energy high, while the open bar during the first hour ensures everyone stays refreshed and in good spirits. For many, the highlight is the ability to swim — with a ladder that makes plunging into the water easy, even for the less agile.

You’ll love the stunning backdrop of Lisbon’s coastline. From the Belem Tower to the 25 de Abril Bridge, each landmark becomes part of your visual playlist. Several reviews highlight how memorable the sunset views can be, with Dan mentioning that the sunset was ‘amazing’ and staff ‘couldn’t have been better’.

However, it’s worth noting that this is primarily a party atmosphere. If you’re after a calm, sightseeing-focused cruise, this might feel a bit lively for your taste. But if you’re in the mood to dance, socialize, and enjoy the water, it’s a perfect choice.

What’s Included and What’s Not?

Included in the ticket price of $62 per person are music throughout the cruise, an open bar for the first hour, and access to the water for dips. These inclusions alone create an excellent value, especially given the scenic setting and lively vibe.

What’s not included? Towels, so bringing one is a good idea if you plan to swim. There’s no hotel pickup or drop-off, so you’ll need to arrange your own transportation to the meeting point, which is at Doca de Santo Amaro in Alcântara. Also, no DJ or specific entertainment is mentioned beyond the curated playlist, but the music during the cruise keeps the party vibe alive.

The Itinerary and Stops

The cruise begins at Sardinha do Tejo, with the boat leaving from Doca de Santo Amaro near Alcântara. The route then takes you past several Lisbon landmarks, including:

• Algés, a charming area known for its maritime history
• Belem Tower, an iconic symbol of Portugal’s Age of Discoveries
• The 25 de Abril Bridge, often compared visually to San Francisco’s Golden Gate

While these stops are mainly for cruising past the sights rather than physical exploration, they provide a panoramic view of Lisbon’s most famed sites. The cruise’s design ensures you get plenty of photo opportunities from the deck, with stunning vistas at every turn.

The cruise concludes back at the original starting point, making for an easy, no-fuss experience.

The Vibe and Atmosphere

The tour is described as energetic and joyful, perfect for birthdays, bachelor or bachelorette parties, or simply celebrating life. Reviews confirm the friendly staff, great drinks, and incredible music. Peter mentions it was “the best thing we did the whole weekend,” while Vasilina called it “really worth doing,” highlighting the overall positive mood.

The music playlist is carefully curated to keep the energy high, whether you’re into tropical beats or classic hits. The spacious deck invites dancing and mingling, and there’s plenty of room for groups to spread out and enjoy.
