Smooth ride. Workers worked REALLY hard to make a great experience! Plenty of drinks and snacks. Detailed instructions where to meet.
We loved this sunset cruise! Really relaxing and beautifull sights. Another perspective and you have a chens to take a dip 🥳
Lovely boat tour around the bay, the guide was attentive, helpful and shared some information about various sights in Rio. We had many snacks and caipairinhas and had a lovely time relaxing on the water! Highly recommend this tour!
This is a great scenic cruise conducted by friendly professional crew. They take time to make each of the (14) guests feel comfortable and safe. Drinks and snacks are delicious and very very plentiful. The views and sites are experiences we will remember as long as we live. We have travelled to many places and countries and the topography we seen is as good as we have ever seen. Loved the cruise.
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.
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!
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.
The entire activity was canceled because of a rainstorm. We were unable to reschedule as our time was limited
This was a wonderful experience! The crew was so accommodating, the view was breathtaking. Definitely would recommend this excursion.

The tour guides on this boat tour were awesome. Kept everything clean and organised. Drink and snacks are free! It can never get any better than this!
One of the best catamaran tours I have ever taken, the crew was absolutely amazing, the views simply spectacular. Get your cameras ready because you will get a chance to take some amazing pictures.
A truly wonderful trip - Clarisse was a wonderful hostess - we were well looked after and had an amazing time. Highly recommend!
Incredible experience, guides are amazing, friendly and couldn’t do enough for us.
Cannot say how incredible the staff were, 100 recommend.
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 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 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.
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 guides, drinks were fantastic as well. Highly recommended. A wonderful way to spend a few hours .
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.
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.
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!
Absolute must do! Amazing views and fabulous hospitality the drinks & snacks were delicious. The boat and crew were both lovely!
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.
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.
This was a beautiful tour Sophia and her coworkers were very welcoming and the drinks were really good!
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.
Unfortunately our tour go canceled due to weather. Would like to say the communication with the Team was wonderful!
