Our sailing catamaran tour starts at Marina da Glória, where we set sail to explore the beauty of Guanabara Bay. We navigate the calm waters, passing by iconic landmarks such as Sugarloaf Mountain and the historical Forts of Rio de Janeiro.

We then head towards the paradisiacal Adão and Eva beaches, where we stop for perfect photo opportunities and, of course, a refreshing swim for those who wish to dive in!

Next, we cross the bay to the impressive Museum of Contemporary Art (MAC) in Niterói, an architectural masterpiece by Oscar Niemeyer, offering a unique view of its futuristic design. On our way back, the highlight is the Santos Dumont Airport, where we sail close to the flight path, making the scenery even more thrilling.

Throughout the tour, enjoy complimentary cold beers, a variety of caipirinhas, snacks, toast with spreads, and fresh seasonal fruits, all while you relax and soak in the vibrant Rio de Janeiro atmosphere.
