2025 in Retrospect – Trust and Ratings of the Most Prestigious Companies

The year 2025 began with favorable winds for our corporate events on board. The Tagus River and its landscapes were once again the setting of choice for companies seeking unique professional experiences in Lisbon.

Throughout the year, we had the privilege of welcoming organizations from different sectors and nationalities, from large international groups with complex logistics to smaller teams looking for exclusivity. Each event was planned and executed with rigor, attention to detail, and excellence in hospitality, ensuring that our clients’ expectations were exceeded.

We invite you to revisit 2025 in retrospect, discovering the best corporate boat events in Lisbon and how Lisbon Sight Sailing has established itself as a trusted partner for distinctive business solutions.

The year begins with an exclusive Sunset Cruise for 75 North American guests

On February 4, we welcomed a group of 75 North American guests, employees of Airship, on an elegant sunset cruise, created to celebrate an international convention held in Lisbon.

During two and a half hours on board this Motor Catamaran, guests enjoyed background music, stunning views over the Tagus, and dinner served on board. This event was organized by Rozenn Welsh (Global Events Manager), who kindly left us the following review:

“I hired the Motocatamaran for a party for our 75 employees in February and was immensely pleased with the everything.

The staff (during booking and on the boat) were all excellent- professional, helpful and very kind. Luis especially who was responsive, met me on the dock, helped me organize and entertain all the staff, and made sure everything ran smoothly.

The food was displayed beautifully and delicious, and the menu options were expansive enough for everyone and the bars/drinks were great.

The boat was lovely, and there was more than enough room inside and outside. It was great to catch the sunset and see the sites, the ride was smooth and everyone was very happy. I’d recommend for any event”

May: Month of Corporate Events and Team-Building Experiences on the Tagus

May was a month full of important events, with several companies choosing our boats for social moments and team-building. From large international groups to smaller events, attention was paid to every detail to ensure a great experience.

Elegance and Exclusivity on two catamarans on the Tagus

On May 14, we welcomed 200 employees of Four Seasons Hotel Ritz Lisboa from several countries. The event took place on two boats simultaneously – the Seagull and the Go Mary – between 6:45 PM and 8 PM, on a late-afternoon cruise.

Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts is a luxury hotel chain known for quality and personalized service. At this event, the hotel provided its own catering, which was highly praised by all guests.

One of the standout moments was when the two boats crossed on the river, a beautiful image captured on video. The organization was handled with great care and the event ran smoothly, meeting the expectations of such a demanding group and ensuring it lived up to the Four Seasons hotel standards.

Subsea7 returns to trust in a personalized and flavorful experience

Subsea7, a global company operating in subsea engineering and construction for the offshore energy sector, trusted Lisbon Sight Sailing again for its annual event, after an excellent experience in 2023. This time, they boarded this elegant Sailing Catamaran for a three-hour cruise on May 30.

On board, a selection of Portuguese tapas and assorted drinks was served, including white and rosé wine, craft beers, juices, and water. With all guests in mind, a menu adapted for vegetarian and vegan diets was included, with hummus and carrot sticks, nachos with guacamole, olive paste with toast, among other delicacies.

It was a very pleasant afternoon for the 15 guests, with great food, excellent company, and a relaxed atmosphere.

“Wonderfull experinece! All the boat crew were very nice, the food was awesome and it was a really nice afternoon!” – Teresa Nunes, Senior Secretary, Subsea7

Networking and Summer Buffet Lunch on board the Terrace Catamaran

The menu included traditional dishes such as roast meat and bacalhau à lagareiro, as well as vegan options, ensuring everyone felt well looked after. On board, the relaxed and elegant atmosphere was complemented by music, attentive service, and stunning views over Lisbon.

The experience was widely praised by participants, with special mention of the team’s friendliness and the care taken with every detail.

AFAS LIVE surprises Amsterdam employees with Dinner on Board

On August 26, 2025, we had the pleasure of organizing a corporate event for AFAS LIVE, with a group of guests from Amsterdam. The event took place on board the Terrace Catamaran, from 6 PM to 9 PM, providing a special experience in the heart of the Tagus River.

The catering featured a varied menu that pleased every taste. Among the starters, sun-dried tomato and brie bruschettas and shrimp with mango and arugula were served. As a main course, guests could choose between gnocchi with beetroot sauce and pesto, or veal roast beef with demi-glace sauce, served with grilled asparagus and smoked sweet potato purée. For dessert, the choice was a delicious coconut milk panna cotta, served with red berries or passion fruit topping. The menu was carefully adapted to accommodate vegetarian guests’ needs.

This event was a special surprise for AFAS LIVE employees, who also had the opportunity to enjoy dinner on board. This experience was planned without their knowledge, providing a pleasant moment of celebration and togetherness.

The event was organized by Annebelle Becker, who worked closely with the Lisbon Sight Sailing team to ensure every detail was handled with excellence, offering an unforgettable experience for everyone present.

Seti First Travel chooses Lisbon Sight Sailing for the second time to welcome its guests

Guests at this event were from Seti First Travel, a prestigious Egyptian company specializing in offering a full range of travel services. Seti First Travel is a full-service travel company, catering to all types of travelers. Its services include travel packages and tours, transportation, Nile cruises, and luxury hotels.

The event took place on October 7, 2025, from 6 PM to 8 PM, on board our Terrace Catamaran. The boarding point was Doca de Santo Amaro, in Lisbon. The group, made up of 31 participants, had arrived in the city that same day — and this cruise proved to be the perfect way to unwind from the journey and start their stay in Lisbon in the best possible way.

Marian Mossaad, responsible for organizing the event, contacted us for the second time to create a memorable experience for her guests. The first collaboration with Seti First Travel took place in July 2025, at an event that included a dinner with typical Portuguese food to the sound of Arabic music, providing a true intercultural experience on board. You can see this in the review left by Hatem Maisara, an employee of the company.

In addition to this event, we also welcomed Show Time Group, with this private cruise organized by Prathika Prasad – as part of the World Aviation Festival – in the Parque das Nações area.

An international tour

On November 27, 2025, our team welcomed on board the Bali catamaran an international group of 12 people from CRYOPDP for a team-building experience on the Tagus. The cruise started and ended at Doca de Alcântara, and although it was late autumn, Lisbon treated us to warm, bright sunshine—perfect for a relaxed afternoon on the water. French, Australian, Scottish, Brazilian, Spanish, and English guests shared the deck, creating a light atmosphere full of good vibes from the start.

The city’s glow reflected on the water, the comfort of the catamaran, and the mix of accents made the moment even more special. It was a team-building where team spirit and the beauty of the river came together to create a memorable experience for everyone on board. Read here the testimony of one of the participants.

Third time’s a charm – Subsea7 on board the Terrace Catamaran

We welcomed for the third time a group of 48 employees from Subsea7 for a special cruise on the Tagus. This time on board the Terrace Catamaran. The company chose this experience to celebrate the completion of an important project in Egypt, and the atmosphere on board reflected exactly that spirit of achievement. There were good vibes from the start, plenty of sharing among colleagues, and several relaxed moments as the boat cruised along Lisbon’s waterfront.

It was a celebration marked by positive energy, togetherness, and the unique setting the river offers at any time of year. Read here the testimony of one of the participants.
