What To Expect
Sugar Loaf is an icon in Rio de Janeiro. Seeing it from the water and at a short distance is very impacting. Great for photographing!
The historical fortresses at the mouth of the Guanabara Bay are quite an attraction as seen from the water. From your point of view, you will have the same feelings pirates had when entering the bay uninvited.

5.00Perfect summer evening! Lovely attentive and friendly staff, who took such excellent care of us! From providing sunscreen (which we accidentally forgot) to the flowing drinks, to towels after the dip in the ocean, to blankets when it got a bit cool the last 20 min following sunset, everything was perfect! Thank you Sail Rio!

5.00Amazing experience with the Sail in Rio! Our group had adults and children (from 5 and 10 years old) and everyone was delighted with the tour. The crew is extremely attentive, careful and cares about every detail. The Service on board is impeccable and made all the difference in the experience. I recommend without a doubt! We'll be back soon!
