What To Expect
Urca
After leaving Marina da Glória, we will pass by the Plays do Flamengo, Botafogo, Urca, the former Casino da Urca and the War High School. We will also have the opportunity to take beautiful photos of Corcovado and the background of the Pedra da Gávea.
Praia Vermelha
Then we left the bay between the forts of São João and Laje and anchored at Red Beach. The view is simply stunning and is one of the only places where you can frame in a single photo both the Sugar Bread and the Redeemer Christ. Perfect stop for a barbecue (additional) and also for a sea bath!

5.00Unbelievable 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.
Fantastic trip!!!!

5.00I 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
