ABOUT US
The most authentic way to experience Lisbon from the Tagus River
Sardinha do Tejo was founded in 2018 with a clear purpose: to turn the Tagus River into a stage for happy, authentic and truly memorable experiences. Created by Mário Firmino, Bernardo Sousa and Julio Osorio, we are dedicated to crafting unique moments on board some of Lisbon’s most iconic boats.
We operate the historic EVORA Boat and the catamarans Zonacat and Tartaruga do Mar, offering Lisbon boat tours, private boat hire and corporate events on the Tagus River. Experiencing Lisbon from the water reveals the city in a completely different light, with front-row views of Belém Tower, the Discoveries Monument, Praça do Comércio, Cristo Rei and the 25 de Abril Bridge.
More than a tour company, we create real connections. Between people. Between teams. Between Lisbon and those who come to discover it.
What we do every day
We organise boat tours in Lisbon, sunset cruises on the Tagus, private yacht charters and distinctive corporate events on the water. Our goal is simple: to help every guest experience Lisbon in a unique way, whether it’s an intimate celebration on a catamaran or a large-scale event aboard the EVORA.
