Shared Tour in Vela Catamaran - Velas do Rio
Description
We want to take you to explore the Bay of Guanabara aboard a luxurious 11-meter sailing catamaran to delight in the stunning landscapes of Rio de Janeiro. Being a sailor, our pleasure is to open the huge white candles of our catamaran as soon as the wind starts blowing! With open candles, our captain will take our passengers to discover iconic places of the bay such as the Urca, Christ Redemptor and the Sugar Bread, the Fortresses, the beaches of Adam and Eve, the Church of Good Travel the MAC, the Museum of Modern Arts. For an unforgettable experience, we offer onboard bluetooth sound, multiple 220v sockets, refrigerator and freezer, giant floating and spaghetti boias for the dive time and fresh and salty water douches on the proa and popa. During the whole tour, we will offer an impeccable service on board with ice brews, varied caipyrinhas, snacks, Globo biscuit, toastes and pastas like homus, season fresh fruits, and other delicacies.

Itinerary
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.
We will stand at the foot of the Sugar Bread to observe this stone of almost 400 mts that dominates and protects the Guanabara Bay. His iconic little bond has been highlighted in several films
Before we reach the beaches of Adam and Eve, we will pass very close to this colossal and historic fortress
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!
Then we continue towards the Museum of Contemporary Art (MAC) and we will pass well at the foot of this monument
On the return, the spectacle is due to the sunset that illuminates the Bay. We will also pass near the Santos Dumont Airport runway from where the planes take off, making the view even more exciting.

Spectacular, highly recommended
Muchas gracias Sofia !
A very enjoyable few hours cruising round the bay. Jerome and Sidney looked after us perfectly. Highly recommended.
Thank you very much Jeremy for this kind feedback ! Hope to see you again soon on one of our boat tours :)
We had an amazing morning aboard this lovely catamaran. We spent three hours being sailed around the enormous Rio harbour seeing all the sights. The boat is spacious and has a seating area to the rear and a sun-bathing area to the front. There were only 5 of us on board which was lovely. It was a little overcast to start with then the sun came out and it was glorious. Sidney served us lovely good and drinks and was an excellent host. His service and lovely manner was a highlight of the trip. We had time for a swim stop which was appreciated. Our only complaint is that the trip was far too short - another three hours would have been lovely! Thank you, Sidney.
Hi Diana, thank you very much for your fantastic review ! So glad to read those compliments about Sidney's as a host :) We take great care in attending our customer the best possible way to insure an overall wonderful experience ;)
Traveled to Rio with friends. Many of them never experiencing a catamaran luxury ride and this our highlight of the trip. The staff was very patient, as we were running behind for our scheduled arrival time. They did not rush our experience. They were very friendly and kept the complimentary beverages flowing. I would highly recommend booking this experience.
Awesome feedback ! I am thrilled to see you had a great experience with us :) Hope to see you again on our boat and thank you very much for the recomendation
After two frustrated attempts yesterday I finally had my experience shared with @velasdorio. A charming catamaran explored from 15 to 18h Urca, Niterói, Guanabara Bay finally. Rio de Janeiro appreciated from the sea is also beautiful and differentiated. Captain Jerome spoke fluently French, English not forgetting our Portuguese hosted unparalleledly the audience present as well as his sweet assistant. Tasty drinks and snacks aboard to accompany the mild climate and stunning landscape. An experience that blends beauty, welfare and good vibrations — and which I recommend without hesitation to those who want to see Rio de Janeiro from a new and charming angle. May there come other navigations like this!
Que fantástico ler a sua avaliação Leonel ! Demorou mas finalmente conseguimos fazer este lindo passeio. Fico muito feliz de você ter gostado ! Até a próxima vez ;)
Very good experience. Very knowledgeable and personable captain. Food and drinks were excellent. The sunset was breathtaking.
