Gabriel Today’s boat ride with Gabriel and crew was a true highlight of our day. From start to finish, he was incredibly attentive—always present and helpful without being overbearing. His charm felt genuine, making the whole experience feel warm and welcoming. The trip itself was serene and pleasant, offering stunning views of Rio from a unique perspective. It’s a fantastic way to take in the city without the usual hustle and bustle of traffic or crowds. If you’re looking for a more relaxed, scenic alternative to exploring Rio, this boat ride is a perfect choice. Highly recommended!

My family and I had a fantastic time on this sailing experience. From the moment we stepped on board, the crew made us feel completely at home. Warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. The atmosphere was relaxed, with plenty of time to enjoy every moment. The views of Rio from the water were fantastic. The boat was very comfortable and safe, with all the necessary amenities, including a bathroom on board. We also enjoyed some light drinks and aperitivos, which added a special touch to the trip. The crew was always available to answer questions, share stories, or simply let us enjoy the sea. We would absolutely do it again and recommend it to anyone visiting Rio!

I went to the whale observation tour. Fantastic experience. Wonderful staff, super punctual tour, coffee and hot manta to scare the cold. the whales were a little shy but was too worth the experience! Next year I'll go again!
