Reviews
The crew were very friendly and helpful throughout the tour. They not only gave us great information about the surrounding landmarks on the boat ride, but also gave us advice for places to visit for the rest of our trip. Food and drinks were amazing. This was a fantastic tour I would highly recommend!!
This tour was the best way to spend our final afternoon in Rio. The crew is fantastic, kind and knowledgeable. The tour hits all the best parts of Rio from a unique perspective and the drinks were excellent. Highly recommend!
best sail ever! Cleanest water and greatest people. The tour guide kept everything very organised! Amazing!
This was the second time we did this boat cruise, and it did not disappoint! Javi and the rest of the crew were first rate and took care of everyone’s needs, and it was a wonderful experience! I highly recommend it!
We had great time on the boat! The crew was absolutely lovely and very friendly, offering to bring drinks and snacks continuously. A special thanks to Javi (I hope I spelled it correctly!). She was speaking English and told us a few interesting stories about the locations surrounding us. By the end of the tour we ended up dancing and singing with everyone on the boat. It was a lot of fun! Highly recommended!
AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!! The crew members, the views😍, the snacks, the drinks, the hospitality from the crew members was great! No complaints. It was a def MUST DO EXPERIENCE! We loved Julia and Paola’s energy and knowledge regarding the RIO! Thank you ALL! 🩵
This boat cruise was so much fun! The boat was lovely and good size for the group. The drinks and service were great as well. And the sunset views were stunning!
We had a great time the staff was very friendly and the views from the water are just incredible. This wasn’t a loud, woohoo we are on a boat let’s get drunk party… it was more a beautiful pleasure cruise and we thoroughly enjoyed the experience.
it was an awesome experience. would highly recommend. it absolutely exceeded expectations and the staff was wonderful.
This tour was a fantastic way to see more of Rio. It was relaxing, gorgeous, and all around a great time. Additionally, the crew was absolutely fantastic! Loh especially made us feel welcomed with her amazing hospitality and sweet personality. We would definitely do it again! Thank you!
We had a fantastic boat tour with Passeio de Veleiro no Rio! Leading up to our tour, communication with Melissa about the meeting point and time were clear. Thais and the crew were welcoming and served us caipirinhas and snacks while sharing points of interest along the way. Part way through the tour we stopped for some swim time, which was fantastic with the back drop of the city. We went close to Niteroi and could see the Oscar Niemeyer UFO-shaped art museum from the boat, which was a unique view! We enjoyed the sunset and watched planes taking off from the nearby airport on our way back to shore. It was an excellent and different viewpoint from which to experience Rio. We highly recommend it!
I had a fantastic time while boating with some of the other people there and especially Lo, one of the crew leaders. She contributed to the best time and made sure people had a good time, my dad and I sure did. Definitely recommended!
Incredibly relaxing- our hostesses took wonderful care of us all and were Incredibly prompt to communicate when we messaged with questions. The boat was a delight and they went out of their way to make sure we were comfortable in the beautifully cool evening.
so amazing, the staff was so kind and helpful (and speak well very english) and the all inclusive drinks were soo nice. wish they had been more stops but it’s definitely worth the price and i would highly recommend
It was very amazing and relaxing time . Our tour guide was wonderful . The sunset was so beautiful and the view of the city .
Honestly this tour exceeded my expectations. I wasn't expecting to have so much fun in a little sail boat tour but the crew made it really special. Loh, Louise and the captain Carlos took care of us all the time, kept bringing up drinks and snacks.The sunset and the vibe/music was on top. Flavored caipirinhas were amazing too!! My advice is to do this tour at the end of your stay, very relaxing and beautiful views of Rio de Janeiro.
We had an amazing time. The crew made our trip sooo much fun. Loh, Lou and carlos were amazing at their jobs as extremely efficient!!! I can tell you a secret for freezer😗🤪We had the best cocktails in Rio and truly unlimited..
My son and I had a wonderful time on the sunset cruise! The crew is what made the trip truly special. Loh and Mariana were wonderful - making sure everyone had drinks, perfect photos and snacks the whole time. By the end, they felt like family! It was lovely to be on the water, see the planes taking off from the airport up close, and getting to cool off with a quick swim. Would totally recommend to anyone visiting Rio!
My daughter and I had the best time. The weather was perfect. The food was good and satisfying. It wasn’t crowded…just enough. The host and hostess were the best. It felt like you’ve known them for years. A well organized evening.
A great experience indeed as the weather was perfect for the cruise. Mary the lead crew member was extremely courteous and provided service second to none. All the guests had a super time
We had such a nice sail [the sails weren't actually up, it was motoring along quietly, which was fine too]. I wouldn't say it's much of a tour... there were few landmarks pointed out. We had a great time anyway and our boat stopped for a long swim, which made the kids happy. The service was excellent and punctual. Very clear communication via whatsapp. Our host, Louise was friendly and answered all the questions we had. :)
This boat tour was absolutely incredible! 🤩🤩 We were a group of 6 celebrating our friends bday. From start to finish, it was the highlight of our entire trip! The guides were the most hospitable I've ever encountered. They went above and beyond to make our experience special. Not only did they provide delicious snacks and cocktails, but they even sang "Happy Birthday" to our friend, making his day truly memorable. We were so impressed that they let us play our own music playlist – it really set the vibe! 💃🌞 our dear guide Melissa even showed us a little dance move 🤭 They also took tons of amazing pictures of our group, capturing all the fun moments. Their energy was infectious; they were so pleasant to be around and made the whole experience so enjoyable. I can't recommend this tour enough. If you're looking for an unforgettable boat trip with amazing guides, this is it!
i travel relatively frequently and always do a boat activity. this was hands down the best boat activity i’ve done on all my travels, thanks to lou! she was very attentive and ensured everyone had a great time. if i’m back in rio i would be booking this again and hope to end up on her boat. thanks for making it enjoyable!
This is a must trip if you are in Rio, Lou, is the best host you could wish for. There are just some people you can just tell, they love there job. This is a lovely relaxing trip, for several reasons, what I liked about it was that it was a chance to meet like minded people during a fab sunset sailing tour. I have to say the tour was made better by the fact we were able to swim off the boat, and provided with tasty snacks and never ending cocktail drinks. 5 stars , Great Tour!!!
The sail boat almost drowned and all people are crying like crazy my wife had a panic attack the boat sailer and the tour operator are both got panicked and the tour operator said that she had 5 weather apps none of them said it will be Windy and she offer money back and they start to return to the shore after 20 min but they couldn’t because of the high sea and high wind , thank god after 50 horrible minutes we back at the shore My advice don’t take any sea tour outside USA they are all Carles and needs only your money regardless of saftey
Absolutely awesome trip - our hostesses and captain made the trip very memorable. Stunning views, cold beer, nice caipirinha‘s & snacks. Absolutely Recommended 10/10
This was my best excursion so far! The hosts were great, food and drinks were amazing . They gave us a very memorable experience. I highly recommend this tour
Excellent hospitality, plenty of good food and drinks. My brother and I had a very enjoyable time on the boat, and we got to see a beautiful sunset over Rio.
I’ve been on a ton of sunset cruises, and this was probably the best one I’ve ever been on. The crew including our host Louise did everything to make the journey enjoyable. They’re extremely friendly and helpful. Beautiful views and lots of drinks and nibbles. I cannot recommend it more!
Mel & Lo were the nicest, funniest and most welcoming hosts for our boat tour of the beautiful waters of Rio De Janeiro. They made everyone on board feel really welcome and were excellent at creating a chatty environment for all on board. Thanks to this, we were able to meet some truly amazing people from all across the world. The tour was scenic, well paced and relaxing. Even stopping for a nice swim! Mel & Lo kept us informed of all the historical sights around the bay and both spoke very good English ! The bar on board was very nice aswell serving lovely drinks and delicious snacks all through the journey. We would recommend the boat tour to all ! Thanks again to Mel & Lo for hosting us !
Nice on the way but the way back was pretty bad. The winds were very bad and the water was spraying us the entire time. The crew even said that if they had known that the waters would be this bad, they would have canceled the trip... Excellent customer service though and staff was very kind
Great tour made even better by dedicated and friendly staff! We enjoyed afternoon of sunshine and sail, great snacks & cocktails. We’ve learned some new facts about Rio history and got introduced to Niteroi and its attractions ( that we needed up suiting the next day) Highly recommend this tour!
Couldn't have had a better afternoon with this tour. Exceptional professionalism of the crew, taking care of every minute.
Amazing experience! A highlight of our time in Rio. Sunset was amazing, and the staff was very fun, accommodating, and helpful. Book this tour - you will be happy you did!
Lovely couple run sailing tour of the bay, informational, relaxing, lovely views, and great drinks and snacks ending at sunset
A GREAT time seeing a less-explores part of Rio. A fun and attentive crew made the trip fun for everyone on board. Chill vibe and beautiful views!
The boat tour was a great way to see the city from another view. We stopped in an area to go swimming around the boat. Sunset from the boat was beautiful and it was just such a peaceful experience. This was the last thing we did before we left Rio so a great way to say bye to the city and end our trip. Would highly recommend.
We had a great experience with lu as our guide, great service and the day was just perfect. I recommend this tour to any one even the cariocas to see our beautiful sunset from the guanabara bay
Always a great day on the water. Tour was operated by the owner, and wife of the boat. Abundant food and beverage with spectacular views. Opportunity to swim
The women who worked this boat were the sweetest people in the entire world!! They waited on us hand and foot and the drinks were delicious (and strong!). They did give us time to swim but we didn't know that so we didn't bring a bathing suit but if you book make sure you bring one! They gave tons of information about what we were seeing and we all had an amazing time. I was hesitant to book this at first but I am so glad we did!
I was hoping to show a good time to my expat friends and family but in fact, we all experienced far more than just a cool ride and amazing sunset. Not only does the crew go above and beyond, but also they serve amazing cocktails, snacks, and fruits that are to die for. Everything is fresh and organized. Bathroom facilities are available and a dive to Guanabara Bay too. Some funny history lessons and bit and pieces of info about the Carioca lifestyle makes it more colorful and sums up what it is to live in a city that beautiful and welcoming.
Gabriel and Lo made it an incredible afternoon! It was my birthday and they made every moment unforgettable. Always attentive to details, offering excellent conversation and with very good music! A thousand thanks for making our tour of Rio an unforgettable experience!
Incredible and very helpful crew. He was very attentive. Too bad there was no sun 🥺Thank you xaviera 🥰🥰🥰
Very nice walk. I asked my girlfriend for marriage and it was the most beautiful thing we loved. The Loh is wordless, left us very comfortable, super humanized service. She helped me a lot to make the request perfect.
Excellent experience to share with friends. The staff was very kind and cool. They helped us with everything necessary, both at the time of booking and during the trip. We booked the trip as a bachelor party for 9 friends and it was totally recommended!
A very good trip, loved every detail. They were attentive and the view was perfect, I want to go again.
Very beautiful and unique experience. very fun and a great plan of appreciation to the views that Rio has to offer. It is a pleasant trip, to have fun and enjoy the coasts. Keep in mind that there is music on board (both Brazilian, Latin and English) that really gives a fun atmosphere and thrill to the trip. The Cheerleaders and the Sailboat Driver were very friendly and really made the trip much more informative and entertaining. The snacks and drinks on board were fully customizable and very appropriate. We'd do it again.
Loh, our guide, she was amazing! The ride was spectacular, and I would definitely do it again. Drinks and food were also very delicious.
Fabulous walk. Thanks to Mariana and Loh a love both.. Excellent care and concern. Special attention to my daughter who was on her birthday. The best gift.!! 👏
