Unbelievable time!! The crew was perfect, we saw breathtaking views of Rio, and you’ll eat better than you would in most restaurants. I’m actually laughing as I write this because it seems foolish that I would have to convince anyone to create an unforgettable afternoon.

We had a great time on the catamaran! It worked for our group of 10 perfectly. The crew was wonderful, helpful and accommodating. The lunch was delicious - amazing barbecue! I would rate this 10 stars if I could. Highly highly recommend!

We had a great time exploring the bay and anchoring to float and enjoy great BBQ. Couldn’t ask for a better captain and first mate. Would definitely recommend for an exclusive experience.

We had a blast on board, from the views to the staff and views. It was absolutely amazing and I’d definitely recommend anybody book with the Velas do Rio Team anytime they’re in Rio, as I surely will be.

I can barely put into words what an incredible and singular experience this was. My husband and I booked the tour just for ourselves. I have never felt so spoiled and luxurious. The team was so kind and attended to our every need. We were constantly served snacks, drinks, and cooked a huge spread for lunch. We got to see so many different parts of the bay. Sitting on the nets and looking at the sights is one of my favorite things I’ve ever done on travel. Captain Jerome took great care to ask our opinion on what we wanted to see and do. He found an incredible spot looking at Christ the Redeemer next to Sugar Loaf mountain for our anchoring. The magic carpet was divine. I couldn’t soak in this moment enough. At the end we were able to go sailing without the motors. This was just the most spectacular experience. You will not be disappointed and your family will be so jealous. I’ll hold these memories among my most treasured travel memories ever. You should stop reading this review and just book it already! <3
