This sailing experience was amazing. Captain & crew were very friendly, answered all questions about the region & landmarks we saw on land. Several choices of beverages were offered along with yummy snacks which were plentiful. The views were beautiful, especially the sunset. The entire experience was unforgettable. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Rio!

This was a lovely excursion with beautiful views. Our guides and staff were friendly and helpful. The weather did not cooperate fully, and we faced some precipitation challenges, but that didn't stop the staff from making the best of things. We still enjoyed delicious drinks, snacks, and music aboard. Highly recommend for anyone who wants to enjoy a nice relaxing afternoon on the water.

Sunset Cruise

Kelly_G, Sep 2026
This was an excellent experience. Especially seeing Christ The Redeemer and Sugar Loaf from the water. I would definitely recommend this tour. Also the guide was amazing and they have good drinks and appetizers.

Incredible Sailing Experience

Luis_H, Sep 2026
Great experience. Clarissa Rates made us all feel like family. I was a bit unsure as I traveled by myself and wasn’t sure how I would be received or what to expect. Clarissa made us all feel welcomed and I ended up making new friends. The entire experience from the drinks, music and vibe just made this an experience to remember and a real highlight of my time in Rio. Thanks again to Clarissa and the crew. It was an awesome experience!

Awesome experience

Oscar_C, Jun 2026
This was an awesome experience… better if going in Summer time but even tho at around mid June it was just perfect not a lot of people awesome overall

What a lovely few hours on Rio Bay

Julie_M, Jun 2026
What a wonderful and relaxing way to pass 3 hours,. The yacht is not luxurious but it’s well fitted out and our host Clarissa and the Skipper were fantastic. We circumnavigated. All of Rio Bay and Clarisse was the perfect hostess- warm and friendly and serving us drinks and food and generally making us feel at home and relaxed as she played lovely music for us and then when it got a bit cold she brought us all blankets. I highly recommend this activity.

Piotr_P, Jun 2026
A perfect way to spend a relaxing evening on the water. Even with somewhat cloudy weather, the experience was absolutely worth it. The views, atmosphere, and overall vibe made for a memorable outing. And as a bonus, this place serves what surely is the best caipirinha in all of Rio!

Beautiful views, great...

Christopher_C, Jun 2026
Beautiful views, great guides, drinks were fantastic as well. Highly recommended. A wonderful way to spend a few hours .

False advertising

Ismael_A, May 2026
We went on a fishing boat excursion, and unfortunately, the experience was not what we expected. The boat was very small and felt unstable on the water. Based on the photos advertised, we were expecting a much larger yacht-style boat. The actual experience did not match the description or pictures, which felt misleading. Because of this, I would not recommend this excursion to others.

Enjoy the sunset sail on arrival day in Rio

Cathy_D, May 2026
We couldn’t have been happier with this activity on our arrival day in Rio. When we headed out the marina was a bit crowded and we expected we’d be out with a number of party boats. Instead we enjoyed a relaxing cruise as we covered a lot of territory in the bay as we enjoyed some light snacks and drinks. Seating was comfortable and we could move around to get some great photos. A pretty sunset was a bonus, and we were one of the few boats able to enjoy the beautiful scenery after dark. Not much of a sail, but they did get the jib out. In all, highly recommended for an overview of Rio.

Chill in the sunset with great beverages and snacks

Maria_G, May 2026
If you want a nice, relaxing chill tour, this is for you. Time stands still and the snacks and beverages were plentiful. You won't get much historical info unless you ask, so I encourage you to ask if you're curious. Karina and Sophia (our guides) were fun!

Book it now!

Lauren_L, May 2026

Sunset cruise

Gina_J, Apr 2026
The staff and sail were very nice. The boat is very old tho-could really use new cushions and more to look and feel fresh.

Great Night on the Water

Brad_S, Apr 2026
A great night out on the water with a whole lot to see. They took great care of us with snacks and drinks. Sophie had great English and it helped us a ton. I would highly recommend this experience.

Enjoyable sailing

Donna_W, Apr 2026
Learned a lot about Rio while cruising. Fortunately did it our first day so when we were walking around the city or on other tours, we had good perspective/knowledge.

Yes!

Monika_L, Apr 2026
Unfortunately our tour go canceled due to weather. Would like to say the communication with the Team was wonderful!

Beautiful Sunset Cruise

Gareth_H, Mar 2026
This was an excellent boat trip on a perfect evening to enjoy the sunset. We were keen to not be on a party cruise (there are plenty of them on offer) and were delighted that the focus was on enjoying the experience rather than drinking as much as possible in 3 hours.

Incredible customer service

Craig_L, Mar 2026
What an incredible experience. The customer service during the boat trip was second to none. So personable and caring.

Kind of overpriced but...

Dominique_T, Mar 2026
Kind of overpriced but the crew was really nice so I'll still give it five stars. They let us out to swim for a while too.

Sunset Sail was a highlight of our time in Rio!

Ellen_W, Mar 2026
Well organized from the start. Good communication about where to meet the sailing crew, with several texts confirming meeting time. The three crew we had on our boat provided food & drink as well as taking photos during the sail. Three hours of peaceful bliss with amazing views.
