The experience

A boat trip shows Rio from the water: Sugarloaf, the fort of Copacabana, the islands in front of Ipanema and the beaches of Niterói.

Shared schooner trips go around Guanabara Bay with stops for swimming. A private yacht is yours for the day: you choose the route, the music and the drinks, and stop wherever the water is clear.

A private boat starts at about R$ 1,600 for the whole boat. Enzo books the boat that fits your group and budget and arranges the drinks, the food on board and the transfer to the marina.
