5.00My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our afternoon sailing with Cassio and his son. Communication before the tour was great with access to the marina. We sailed in the bay and along Copacabana beach. Cassio was very informative of the local area. A great way to spend a relaxed afternoon.

5.00Cassio is just GREAT! Caring but discreet, considerate but not invasive, he is simply an Artist! I have often taken sailing cruises (in the Mediterranean, the Atlantic and the Pacific) and without any hesitation I would say that Cassio, admirably assisted by his son, is the best Captain I have known. It observes the reactions of its passengers and acts accordingly, avoiding the eddies or greying them by taking the leeward speed. In short, go with your eyes closed: a pure moment of happiness in this beautiful bay, at sunset... Thanks again Cassio, you are an Ace!
Wonderful sailing trip

5.00The relaxed sailing trip through the bay between Rio and Niteroi and then along the Copacabana was one of the highlights of our Rio stay. The tour we had booked in advance on the Internet as a private 5 hour tour incl. BBQ for us (4 people). We started at 14:00 at the Rio Yacht Club near the Sugarloaf. Cassio, the captain picked us up on time and a short time later we were already on our way. The boat is well equipped including toilet. During the tour we were informed in detail and entertainingly about the history and everything else worth knowing about Rio. After a good 3 hours of sailing, the boat is anchored in the bay below Sugarloaf Mountain and the barbecue is lit. Afterwards, watch the sunset over beer, caipirinha, salad and meat. Even if, as with us, the skies are slightly cloudy, the sailing tour is an absolute must.

5.00What a great way to end our first day in Rio! Cassio and his son Daniel were WONDERFUL! We were a group of 8 and half of us had a bad Uber experience and arrived a bit late for the tour. Cassio was incredibly gracious. The sites were incredible. My Dad just turned 82 and had a fantastic time. We even saw a pod of dolphins. I would highly recommend this tour! Thank you Cassio and Daniel!!
Wonderful sailing!

5.00Had the best time with Cassio and Daniel at the rudder! Booked a private sailing for my family (my husband and my parents) and it was the first time sailing for my parents. They had a great time! Cassio and Daniel are very accommodating and helpful! And great company too :-)

5.00Cassio and Daniel gave us the experience if a lifetime. We threw a party for my friend on their sailing boat and it turned more amazing than we ever dreamed. They helped me plan the party, including decor and photography via email while I was in South Africa ahead of our trip!! A warm and kind team that made 8 girls, including the birthday girl, beyond happy. Highly recommend them! Obrigado Cassio and Daniel!
