Sail In Rio - Private Sailing Tour

Brilliant trip great and very attentive guides Wonderful way to see Rio from a different perspective Thoroughly recommend it

A wonderful day whale watching in the waters right outside of Guanabara Bay. Everyone on the boat was fantastic. The biologist, Salome, was truly a fount of information and an expert in spotting the whales! We also appreciated the services provided by Captain Carmen and Gabriel (who kept the food, coffee and beverages stocked). We spotted many humpback whales, as well as a variety of marine birds.

We had a great time. All four of the crew members were professionals while at the same time being friendly and personable. Definitely a recommendation Chris

Absolutely fantastic experience! We’ve been on a few boat tours in Rio now and this was by far the best company. Communication with the company was excellent, booking and payment very easy. Then from arrival at the docks to the end of the tour everything was fantastic. Service was outstanding and the all-female crew super skilled and professional. They paid attention to every small detail. All spoke excellent English. Would 10/10 recommend to others! We will definitely use them again!

The tour was amazing ! Carmen the captain is the best captain in Rio !! Juan the sailor is great too. The boat was very nice !

I had an amazing sailing tour in Rio! Our captain (a lady) was fantastic — very professional, friendly, and gave us the best hospitality throughout the trip. The views were incredible and the whole experience was unforgettable. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Rio!

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our afternoon sailing with Cassio and his son. Communication before the tour was great with access to the marina. We sailed in the bay and along Copacabana beach. Cassio was very informative of the local area. A great way to spend a relaxed afternoon.

What a great way to end our first day in Rio! Cassio and his son Daniel were WONDERFUL! We were a group of 8 and half of us had a bad Uber experience and arrived a bit late for the tour. Cassio was incredibly gracious. The sites were incredible. My Dad just turned 82 and had a fantastic time. We even saw a pod of dolphins. I would highly recommend this tour! Thank you Cassio and Daniel!!

Had the best time with Cassio and Daniel at the rudder! Booked a private sailing for my family (my husband and my parents) and it was the first time sailing for my parents. They had a great time! Cassio and Daniel are very accommodating and helpful! And great company too :-)

Cassio and Daniel gave us the experience if a lifetime. We threw a party for my friend on their sailing boat and it turned more amazing than we ever dreamed. They helped me plan the party, including decor and photography via email while I was in South Africa ahead of our trip!! A warm and kind team that made 8 girls, including the birthday girl, beyond happy. Highly recommend them! Obrigado Cassio and Daniel!

Wonderful experience, the whale sighting is spectacular and the staff is excellent.

Amazing experience! From the first contact until the day of the tour. Everyone was super attentive, Captain Carmen super attentive, Fernanda and Pedro too. The impeccable care. Drinks were great. It was an amazing walk!

Experience had both positive and negative points. The staff are polite and attentive, the service itself is good and pleasant. On the other hand, the boat ride left much to be desired. During the journey, the boat passes through various sights, such as beaches and well-known places, but at no time the team informs the names of these places (such as Urca, Copacabana, among others). This is a lot needed for those who would like to know the region better. In addition, the snacks served are very simple and do not impress, and the caipirinha is also not of good quality. In short: the staff's service is good, but the tour could be much better if there was an explanation of the places visited and an improvement in the quality of the food and beverages.

Excellent service staff, super pleasant space, clean, safe. Cold drinks and no empty glass. I liked it and super recommend

Cassio is just GREAT! Caring but discreet, considerate but not invasive, he is simply an Artist! I have often taken sailing cruises (in the Mediterranean, the Atlantic and the Pacific) and without any hesitation I would say that Cassio, admirably assisted by his son, is the best Captain I have known. It observes the reactions of its passengers and acts accordingly, avoiding the eddies or greying them by taking the leeward speed. In short, go with your eyes closed: a pure moment of happiness in this beautiful bay, at sunset... Thanks again Cassio, you are an Ace!

The relaxed sailing trip through the bay between Rio and Niteroi and then along the Copacabana was one of the highlights of our Rio stay. The tour we had booked in advance on the Internet as a private 5 hour tour incl. BBQ for us (4 people). We started at 14:00 at the Rio Yacht Club near the Sugarloaf. Cassio, the captain picked us up on time and a short time later we were already on our way. The boat is well equipped including toilet. During the tour we were informed in detail and entertainingly about the history and everything else worth knowing about Rio. After a good 3 hours of sailing, the boat is anchored in the bay below Sugarloaf Mountain and the barbecue is lit. Afterwards, watch the sunset over beer, caipirinha, salad and meat. Even if, as with us, the skies are slightly cloudy, the sailing tour is an absolute must.
