    Tivemos uma experiência incrível no On Life Boat — foi tipo entrar num mood "joie de vivre". Cada detalhe mostra cuidado e capricho: desde escolher o CD da trilha sonora (sim, CD, um charme retro!), até moer nosso próprio café fresquinho pela...

Live this unique experience of sleeping on a classic sailboat in the charming center of Cascais! If you're looking for an authentic and memorable experience, our 1974 Shipman 28 is the perfect choice. A carefully maintained classic sailboat, equipped to provide comfort without losing the simple essence of life at sea. More than just a stay, we offer an immersion in the nautical lifestyle. Wake up to the sea breeze, have coffee on the deck and feel the marina's quiet pace. Although compact, the space is very cozy, thought to provide simplicity and comfort. The teak deck invites moments of relaxation to the sound of the waves, while the interior retains the original charm of the boat, complemented by quality bedding and towels, premium kitchen utensils and a carefully selected welcome kit. No TV, air conditioning or heavy appliances – here, the experience is to disconnect and feel this environment near the sea. Ideal for those looking for a different experience and in a special place.
We want your experience on board to be special, so we are always available to help! If you wish, we can share local tips, from the best restaurants to suggestions for boat trips or sailing schools; We can also help you prepare your stay, such as organising a surprise dinner, shopping for meals on the boat, and other ideas you may want to explore. The onboard experience is designed to be autonomous, but you will never be without support if you need anything.
The sailboat is moored in the Cascais Marina. It couldn’t be more centrally located and you can walk to everything in the centre of Cascais. Within walking distance, you can find a variety of good quality restaurants, stunning beaches and a vibrant historic centre. This space has parking and 24-hour security, ensuring comfort and peace of mind throughout your stay. The marina offers a busy but very safe environment, ideal for exploring the nautical culture and seaside lifestyle. ** OTHER IMPORTANT NOTES ** Small Bed Size The bed will be set up in the bow bedroom in a "V" shape. It is 175cm long and has a headboard width of 155cm. This is a tighter bed, which although it is part of the onboard experience, is not recommended for those who need to sleep with more space and fully stretched out. However, there is the option of setting up the bed in the living room, which is longer, by speaking to the host about it before the arrival date. Shared WC, Exclusive to Boat Owners According to marina regulations, it is not permitted to discharge waste on site. Therefore, the boat's toilet is not available. Guests have free access to the exclusive marina bathrooms, which are modern, comfortable and very well maintained, just a 1-minute walk from the sailboat, and very quiet and relaxed. Important To Know The boat is moored (it does not sail during your stay). As on any sailboat, there is compact space and an atmosphere of adventure!
