SAIL IN RIO. A fantastic way to spend the day in Rio. - This was a great experience that I would not hesitate to book again. The crew was outstanding. They were very knowledgeable about sights we saw along the way. We sailed out into the bay and anchored off an island that had a beautiful beach. You had the option of going for a swim or just hanging out on the sailboat.
Drinks (coke, beer, water and caprinas were included as was healthy snacks of cheeses , olives and crackers. There were only 8 passengers on the boat so there was ample room to move about. Thank you Carmen, John, and Bruno for making it one of the best experiences in Rio.

Magnificent Tour of Guanabara Bay - The welcome on the sailboat was excellent. Daniel and John received us on schedule and were always very kind. The walk was delicious. The snack offered is of excellent quality, as are the caipirinhas, very well made!
The diving at Piratininga Beach was the cherry of the cake.

Best Experience in Rio de Janeiro - Amazing experience definitely worth it! We did the sunrise tour with a very friendly, welcoming and knowledgeable crew teaching you the history of the surrounding areas during the tour. The drinks and snacks were a perfect treat after getting the chance to swim in a bay along the tour. I'd 100% recommend anyone visiting Rio to do this you will not regret it. Thank you to the team that we met today (03/01/2026) your hospitality made us feel at ease and we appreciated every bit of it 😊

A sail around Rio de Janeiro - Gabriel
Today’s boat ride with Gabriel and crew was a true highlight of our day. From start to finish, he was incredibly attentive—always present and helpful without being overbearing. His charm felt genuine, making the whole experience feel warm and welcoming.
The trip itself was serene and pleasant, offering stunning views of Rio from a unique perspective. It’s a fantastic way to take in the city without the usual hustle and bustle of traffic or crowds. If you’re looking for a more relaxed, scenic alternative to exploring Rio, this boat ride is a perfect choice. Highly recommended!
