About the experience

See Rio de Janeiro from a different perspective—out on the water, where the city’s iconic skyline meets untouched coastline and hidden beaches. As you leave Marina da Glória behind, the noise of the city fades and is replaced by open sea, warm sun, and views that only a boat can offer.

This experience is designed to be flexible and tailored to your group. Your skipper will help shape a personalised itinerary based on your preferences, whether you want to cruise past famous landmarks, anchor in quiet bays, or spend time swimming and relaxing. Popular routes include Urca and Flamengo Beach, the crystal-clear waters of the Cagarras Islands, or more secluded spots like Itaipú and the beaches of Adão and Eva.

During peak season and holidays, there are two trips per day:
8:30 AM to 1:30 PM or 2:30 PM to 7:30 PM

Prices vary depending on the itinerary:
1) Flamengo Beach and Urca.
2) Adam and Eve Beaches.
2) Vermelha Beach (or Forte Beach), Urca, and Flamengo Beach.
3) Cagarras Islands, Urca, and Flamengo Beach.
4) Itaipú Beach, Urca, and Flamengo Beach.

If there is a barbecue, there is a fee of R$ 200.00 to be paid to the sailor; he will handle it (it’s part of his job at the grill).

On board, everything is set up for a relaxed and social day at sea. Enjoy your favourite music through the Bluetooth sound system, stretch out on the bow sundeck, or cool off in the water using the floating mat. The boat also features a comfortable cabin with a double bed and a bathroom, making it easy to unwind throughout the trip.

It’s an easy, well-balanced experience that blends iconic sights with hidden gems, all at your own pace.
