Jubarte Expedition: I want to return! - The whales showed up and it was exciting! Unforgettable. Seeing the Cagarras archipelago from close with the biologist's explanation was too much!
The other highlight is the gentle, attentive and qualified staff that makes the tour, which lasts around 5 and a half hours, pleasant. Thank you, Salomé, Bia, Marcelo, Daniel and others.
Attention only to the fact that it is a sailboat expedition in the open sea, therefore balances and some people may not feel well. Get ready and enjoy!

Exceeded expectations - Tour exceeded expectations. We hired for a group of friends. Both the captain and the sailors were kind and treated us very well. The sailboat is in excellent state of conservation. We came back with lots of photos and memories of a wonderful walk

Group Tour in early March 2020 - This was such an amazing first day in Rio! Cassio took us one such a beautiful tour for 3 gorgeous hours! The weather and the sights were stunning. The care he took in explaining all that we were experiencing lead to such a memorable trip for me. My hopes and prayers are to return to Brazil one day soon. The people are so warm and friendly. I hope to see you all again.

You can't go wrong with this duo! - Oi!
As a sailing fiend myself, I researched many charter options in the Rio area before deciding to sail with Cassio and Daniel. They are professional, experienced, and welcoming. I enjoyed my first trip so much that I joined another group the following day for another three hours on the water. The views are wonderful. Delicious refreshments and snacks were provided and there was plenty of space on the boat, even with all 10 people aboard. If you are prone to seasickness, I recommend taking something ahead of time..even the bay can get a little wavy. Cassio is flexible with the route based on the group's comfort level (bay only, open water/bay, etc.) and will anchor for some swim time if conditions are right and the interest is there. Cassio and Daniel are very knowledgeable about the area and are able to communicate with guests in a variety of languages (english, spanish, portuguese, and I think even French). I would recommend this charter to novice and experienced boaters. You can't go wrong with this duo!

Sail in Rio-Amazing sunset tour. - I honestly have nothing bad to say about this tour. It was the best way to end our vacation in Rio by seeing Rio in all of its glory from the bay.
The views were magical, photos don't do it justice, you have to be there to experience it. The Captain and his son were so welcoming and made this tour extra special by giving us a bit of history on the different focal points that we saw.
And did I mention appetizers and drinks which were so generously provided?
Don't waste anymore time reading this review. Go and book your next tour with Sail in Rio!
