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!
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.
What an incredible experience. The customer service during the boat trip was second to none. So personable and caring.
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.
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.
While we didn't get to see the sunset because of the clouds covering the sun, it was still the perfect sunset sail. I loved seeing Rio's beautiful topography from the bay. The crew was especially friendly, serving tasty snacks and drinks. We highly recommend!
We are visiting later in the month, the wrong date was booked and even after multiple attempts to contact the company about managing our tour and adjusting the date no one responded to emails or calls. Very unprofessional.

Dear Nicole
Thank you for your feedback.
We’re sorry to hear about the situation with your booking date. Reservation dates can normally be managed or modified directly through the TripAdvisor platform.

It is unfortunate that you were unable to join the experience on the scheduled date. Nevertheless, as a gesture of goodwill, both TripAdvisor and our company allow a 90% refund even in cases registered as a “no show.” We hope this helps to reduce the inconvenience caused.
Thank you again for sharing your feedback, and we wish you a wonderful stay and a great remainder of your trip.

Clarisse and Capitan Gabriel were great! Drinks were plentiful, music was nice, it was a great way to orient myself.
