After leaving Marina da Glória, we will pass by the Plays do Flamengo, Botafogo, Urca, the former Casino da Urca and the War High School. We will also have the opportunity to take beautiful photos of Corcovado and the background of the Pedra da Gávea.
Then we left the bay between the forts of São João and Laje and anchored at Red Beach. The view is simply stunning and is one of the only places where you can frame in a single photo both the Sugar Bread and the Redeemer Christ. Perfect stop for a barbecue (additional) and also for a sea bath!
Our adventure continues going a little further south to discover the beaches of Leme and Copacabana
We followed towards the Beaches of Adam and Eve, in Niterói, with a perfect break for photos and, of course, a dive for those who want to swim!

very relaxing and elevated private catamaran experience. the service was top notch and the views were amazing
Thank you so much for your feedback ! Its makes all the difference to us :)
I celebrated my 30 years on this tour and it was one of the best experiences of my life! I am from outside Rio, so I searched a lot before closing and, within what I found, the Velas do Rio was the best cost-effective. The service was impeccable since the first contact via WhatsApp, were super attentive and took my doubts with patience and transparency, which left me very confident in the choice. Jerome and Michael are amazing hosts, very friendly, experienced and careful with the safety. They explain everything right, give instructions and even share information about the tourist attractions with a lot of knowledge. The boarding service is also perfect: very tasty food, excellent picay and wonderful drinks, all served with a lot of capricho. The catamaran is extremely comfortable, clean and well taken care of. To complete, the sea was super nice, with little wind, and we were presented with a beautiful sunset, which did not appear in the previous days! It was all perfect! Me and my family were delighted and definitely recommend to everyone!!
Oi Larissa, foi uma honra ter vc e família a bordo do nosso veleiro para comemorar esse momento tão especial. Ficamos muito felizes e horados pois esse aniversário de 30 anos é muito especial e foi abençoado por uma linda tarde ! Obrigado por este incrível feedback !
A superb discovery of Rio de Janeiro Bay by catamaran. Informative explanations, a perfect atmosphere and the desire to go on this walk again with friends. Everything was top!!!
Merci encore pour ce très gentil feedback ! À très bientôt je l'espère :)
We did a catamaran tour on March 10, 2026 and it was just fantastic! The Jérôme team did a great job. Everyone was incredibly welcoming, accommodating and made us feel comfortable all the time. The atmosphere on board was relaxed and we had a really great time. You can tell that the team is there with a lot of passion. Thank you for this beautiful experience – we can absolutely recommend the tour!
Thank you so much Tom for this feedback ! We are extremely happy to be able to deliver a great overall experience although the weather was not really perfect ! ;)
We booked a private tour with my family and had a super nice day. The service onboard was perfect, with great food and drinks. The captain was very friendly and asked us what would we prefer. We went on the other side of the bay where we stopped and did the barbecue which was delicious. On the boat there was plenty of space for everyone to sit or lay down in the front. We came back during sunset which was amazing and finished our journey. I would recommend to everyone who seeks a nice and personal experience with a super cool Captain and crew!!
Awesome ! So important to see we deliver great experiences to our customers. Thank you very much. for your feedback. :)
An exceptional experience to discover the city from a completely different perspective. Viewed from the water, Rio offers a striking view! How lucky to be able to contemplate the incredible beauty of the landscapes from the deck of a boat. The magic happens from the first minute. The return to port in the late afternoon, swollen with gold, is spectacular. The kindness and discreet attention of the crew also contribute to making this ride a timeless one.
Quel très, très joli feedback ! Trop gentil de votre part. Je suis comblé. Merci beaucoup !
Amazing afternoon ! Great crew ! Beautiful skyline, lights and TLC from team! Rio could not be seen a nicer way during Carnival season 🥰🎊🎉
Thank you so much dear for this kind review ! Hope to see you again soon :)
Excellent service from beginning to end. Jerome is very responsive and works with you on your preferred route before the boat ride. The boat itself is very comfortable, spacious, safe, and the onboard service is impeccable. The crew (João and Micael) deserve a special recognition as they made our day on the bay really pleasant. They went above and beyond to make sure everyone was comfortable and having fun. Overall, a perfect experience that I would definitely repeat and highly recommend to others!
Thank you so much for this great review ! We are very happy to deliver great experiences !
The best ride to do in the river, for those who live in and out of the city. Besides the wonderful palace the team on board is super attentive and thinks of everything so that everyone can enjoy the experience!! Super recommend
Uau ! que top ! Ficamos todos lisonjeados com seus comentários . Muitíssimo obrigado e até uma próxima vez !
