About Captain Wave
Lisbon's Premier Boat Tour Company. We specialize in creating unforgettable maritime experiences on the Tagus River and Atlantic coast, combining luxury, safety, and Portugal's most breathtaking coastal landscapes.
Our Story
Captain Wave began with a simple vision: to share Lisbon's stunning maritime beauty with the world. Founded by experienced Portuguese sailors with deep roots in Lisbon's maritime tradition, we've grown to become one of the region's most trusted and highly-rated boat tour operators.
Our routes showcase the best of Lisbon's waterfront heritage. Departing from the historic Tagus River, we sail past iconic landmarks including the 25 de Abril Bridge, Belém Tower, the Monument to the Discoveries, and Cristo Rei. The journey continues along the stunning coastline to Cascais, revealing hidden beaches, dramatic cliffs, and the magnificent point where the Tagus River meets the Atlantic Ocean.
What sets us apart is our commitment to authentic, personalized experiences. Unlike large tour operators, we keep our groups small and intimate. Our captains aren't just skilled navigators – they're passionate storytellers who share fascinating insights about Lisbon's maritime history, local culture, and hidden gems only locals know about.
Our carefully curated fleet includes modern sailing yachts and speedboats, each maintained to the highest standards of safety and comfort. Whether you're celebrating a special occasion, seeking adventure, or simply want to see Lisbon from a new perspective, we craft each experience to create lasting memories.
Our Mission
Our mission is to provide exceptional maritime experiences that reveal Lisbon's beauty from its most spectacular perspective. We combine professional service, local expertise, and genuine Portuguese hospitality to create moments that become cherished memories. Every guest who sails with us should feel the same wonder and love for the sea that inspired us to start this journey. From romantic sunset proposals to family celebrations and solo adventures, we're committed to exceeding expectations on every voyage.
