    Lovely people and a great trip

    2 Hr – Boutique Sunset Sail Cruise • 2 adults

    You cannot begin to describe how lovely the experience was! The crew of Filipa and Afonso were just nice beyond measure, you were treated with smiles and general hospitality, the catering (which you should book! It’s delicious!) was done at the right time and with style and beautiful arrangement. Afonso was telling us historical facts about the landmarks we visited, Filipa was so kind as to show us the inside of the yacht. It was just so overwhelmingly nice that I cannot say anything negative about the experience. Also, the booking fee helps with Filipa's mission of educating others, so that was an additional bonus for me. Do book with them, as I can guarantee you will have a precious lovely time. Thank you to Filipa and Afonso! Hope to see you again soon!

    Beautiful sunset sail with a meaningful mission

    2 Hr – Boutique Sunset Sail Cruise - 6:30 PM • 3 adults

    Here’s a shorter, refined version with that personal touch: ⸻ This was one of the highlights of our time in Lisbon. The 2-hour sunset cruise offered stunning views of the city and landmarks like Belém Tower, all in a relaxed and intimate setting. Filipa, the skipper and owner, was fantastic—warm, welcoming, and clearly passionate about what she does. She and the 2nd skipper Rodrigo made the whole experience feel personal and special. What makes this tour stand out even more is the purpose behind it. Through HYPA Family, they support the “Educar à Vela” initiative, helping underprivileged youth gain life skills through sailing. It’s amazing to know your trip contributes to such a great cause. Highly recommend—an unforgettable experience with heart.

I’m so happy you felt the warmth and personal touch we always hope to share on board, and even more touched that our mission resonated with you. Guests like you help keep that purpose alive and moving forward. Thank you again for your support, and I hope to welcome you back for another sail someday! ⛵💙

    Beautiful sailboat + wonderful captain & staff

    Special 2 hour trip for David Chan • 2 adults

    My family of 4 did a 3 hour sunset cruise with Captain Filipa. Everything was perfect. Capitain Filipa was responsive during the booking process and great in making suggestions on sites to capture the beauty and history of Lisbon. Her mission is an added bonus!

    Response from Captain

    It was a true delight to host your family, David! ​Watching the girls take the helm and steer while 'the guys' were relaxing and having some 'guys' time' was a fantastic highlight. It was truly lovely to see your family so relaxed and enjoying quality time together. ​Thank you also for highlighting our social mission. Wishing you all the best! ⛵✨
