Amazing 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!

Amazing experience! The entire crew was very welcoming, they arranged everything to make us comfortable. And the route is perfect for watching the sunset at the right point of the coastline.
A great day!

We loved the sailing! It was a smooth process with easy parking, great hosts and a nice selection of drinks. Our guide pointed out landmarks and explained the history behind the different locations and buildings. We left wanting to do it again and it was one of our favorite things we did on our trip!
Great cruise 🛳

I went for the sunset cruise, the staff was super friendly and shared knowledge of all the Brazil sights that were visible from the boat. The drinks 🍸 were the perfect addition to the experience. if you're in Rio, and looking for some activities, go for this one.
