Great sailboat trip - Wanted to grant my late sister wishes to have her ashes spread in Rio. Spoke with crew they were incredibly accommodating. Super nice staff. They took care of us with drinks and snacks and some history of different places we sailed past. The boat was nice. Definitely recommend this tour. They didn't rush to get back to shore either.

Sunset cruise - Booked this on our first day n Rio just for something to do. It turned out to be great.
Lovely people, very helpful. Provided drinks, snacks, and a helping hand getting me on and off the boat. Well worth the chance

Highlight of our Rio Trip - This sunset sailing trip was a highlight of our Rio trip. The crew was very attentive, asked us about our travels, offered us plenty of snacks and drinks, and did everything to make sure we had a pleasant experience. They even gave out blankets after the sun went down which was a nice surprise. The cruise itself was beautiful and it was a great way to see both Sugarloaf and Cristo at the same time. We sailed to the other side of the bay which we wouldn’t have seen otherwise. Definitely worth the money and we would do it again!
