A private boat tour in Lisbon, kept small and personal
Most boat tours in Lisbon pack thirty strangers onto a deck and call it a cruise. We don’t.
Upwelling is for travellers who want something quieter and closer to the water. Aboard the Basilisco, our Merry Fisher 725, you sail the Tagus with a maximum of six guests and a crew of two, a licensed skipper and a deckhand who know the river by heart, from Belém out toward the sunset.
