Rio de Janeiro · SAILING
A sailboat buys you shade, a swim ladder and a flat deck under Sugarloaf. These 7 compare the afternoon runs and the sunset sailings on price, group size and whether the open bar is really open.
See Rio from Guanabara Bay on a small-group sunset sail with Sugarloaf views, caipirinhas, snacks, and optional swimming.
“The boat ride was relaxing and everyone in the family loved the excursion. Snacks and drinks are included. The views of Rio were majestic. Charisse is a gem. She makes tasty drinks, is knowledgeable about Rio, and friendly. This was a great way to spend an afternoon!”
Watch Rio’s sunset from Guanabara Bay on a three-hour sailboat tour with caipirinhas, snacks, swimming, music, and views of Christ the Redeemer.
“Would highly recommend. Loh and Gabriel made us have the best experience, telling us facts about Brazilian culture, showing us unforgettable views while also seeing the best tourist attractions. We had unlimited drinks, snacks and music and we had the time out of life while also swimming in the sea which was an experience in itself. Was the highlight of our trip so far and would recommend to everyone.”

“Excellent sailing in a super-relaxed atmosphere, with a fabulous and very attentive all-female crew! It was a truly fantastic experience that included snacks, drinks and a swim (towels provided). Highly recommended!!!”
Review of Rio’s 3-hour sailboat tour, with sunset views, swimming, caipirinhas, snacks, and a small group of up to 15 people.
“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. :)”
Sail Guanabara Bay for three hours with Rio views, fortresses, drinks, snacks, and a possible swim from Marina da Glória.
“This was surprisingly well organised and well attended by the staff. The cocktails tasted excellent and the food was great, would recommend. Good value for money!”

Pick a summit, a stretch of sand or a night out.
