7 tours  ·  from $55 a head

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.

2.Sunset Sailboat Tour with Open Bar

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 785 reviews · 3 hours · from $57

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.”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 73 reviews · 3 hours (approx.) · from $54Best value

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. :)”
