The gentle bobbing of boats in Doca do Bom Sucesso seems to echo tales from a bygone era. This dock, once a domain of the Portuguese Navy, has transformed into a haven for pleasure craft. Doca do Bom Sucesso can accommodate 163 boats, each under 15 meters. However, this tranquil marina holds a more adventurous past. In 1917, it became home to the Centro de Aviação Marítima de Lisboa, Portugal’s first naval air base and naval aviation school. Imagine the roar of engines as seaplanes took flight, marking the early days of Portuguese naval aviation. The spirit of exploration truly soared here in 1922. It was from Doca do Bom Sucesso that Gago Coutinho and Sacadura Cabral embarked on their daring flight across the South Atlantic, a pioneering achievement in aviation history. Today, as you stroll along Doca do Bom Sucesso, let the sight of sleek yachts and the gentle lapping of water carry your imagination back to those daring feats. The spirit of adventure, though now manifested in leisurely sails, still lingers in the air.
