"Neste barco à vela" ("In this sailing boat") was the Portuguese entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 1987, performed in Portuguese by Nevada.

The song is in praise of Portugal itself. The two singers describe their "overfull boat" which apparently has a "childish look" as travelling on a "path of hope".

The song was performed eighth on the night, following Italy's Umberto Tozzi and Raf with "Gente di mare" and preceding Spain's Patricia Kraus with "No estás solo". At the close of voting, it had received 15 points, placing 18th in a field of 22.

It was succeeded as Portuguese representative at the 1988 Contest by Dora with "Voltarei".
