A sail around Rio de Janeiro - Gabriel
Today’s boat ride with Gabriel and crew was a true highlight of our day. From start to finish, he was incredibly attentive—always present and helpful without being overbearing. His charm felt genuine, making the whole experience feel warm and welcoming.
The trip itself was serene and pleasant, offering stunning views of Rio from a unique perspective. It’s a fantastic way to take in the city without the usual hustle and bustle of traffic or crowds. If you’re looking for a more relaxed, scenic alternative to exploring Rio, this boat ride is a perfect choice. Highly recommended!

- My family and I had a fantastic time on this sailing experience. From the moment we stepped on board, the crew made us feel completely at home. Warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. The atmosphere was relaxed, with plenty of time to enjoy every moment.
The views of Rio from the water were fantastic. The boat was very comfortable and safe, with all the necessary amenities, including a bathroom on board.
We also enjoyed some light drinks and aperitivos, which added a special touch to the trip. The crew was always available to answer questions, share stories, or simply let us enjoy the sea.
We would absolutely do it again and recommend it to anyone visiting Rio!

Unforgettable tour with the Sail in Rio team! - Amazing walk! We left before sunrise and set off looking for the whales. The opportunity to see Rio de Janeiro from the sea gives us a new look at the beauties of this iconic city. Crew on board notes a thousand. Special thanks to Captain Dan and Marine Biologist Juliana for the explanations that made all the difference.

JUBARTES - I conducted the expedition to visualize the jubartes.The exit was punctual, the team that accompanied was also very careful and professional. We had a very special morning where we visualized dozens of whales and many jumps and acrobatics.
It will stay in memory forever.

Jubarte whale observation, a spectacle of nature. - The Jubarte whale observation tour was amazing. Mega attentive boarding staff, the super experienced commander, the guide was great, the photographer struck in the photos. And what about our doctoral biologist Salome who gave a lecture on the species of whales and their customs. Including, with his eagle eyes and a lot of experience helped us to see 6 groups of whales throughout the day with 15 whales in total. It was beautiful, exceeded my expectations. The whales were incredible and we saw a show of bats, breaths, swimmers and even one of them jumped in front of our boat. A lot of gratitude for this spectacle of nature. It was very exciting.
In addition aida we had a wonderful breakfast.
