This was a breath-taking experience that I would highly recommend. The captain and crew were professional, respectful, engaging, and just enjoyable people to be around. The boat itself was very nice and comfortable. The food and drinks provided were amazing and refreshing. One of the best nautical experiences I have had to date.

An amazing morning aboard this lovely catamaran.

Diana_K, Mar 2026

We had an amazing morning aboard this lovely catamaran. We spent three hours being sailed around the enormous Rio harbour seeing all the sights. The boat is spacious and has a seating area to the rear and a sun-bathing area to the front. There were only 5 of us on board which was lovely. It was a little overcast to start with then the sun came out and it was glorious. Sidney served us lovely good and drinks and was an excellent host. His service and lovely manner was a highlight of the trip. We had time for a swim stop which was appreciated. Our only complaint is that the trip was far too short - another three hours would have been lovely! Thank you, Sidney.

Response from Host, Mar 2026

Traveled to Rio with friends. Many of them never experiencing a catamaran luxury ride and this our highlight of the trip. The staff was very patient, as we were running behind for our scheduled arrival time. They did not rush our experience. They were very friendly and kept the complimentary beverages flowing. I would highly recommend booking this experience.

Response from Host, Nov 2025
