So many great things I would like to say about this company and the the staff during our tour. We were not sure if we would even get the chance to do this due to weather but it cleared up and they kept me up to date with the status of things and we were able to hit the water.
Awesome staff, very knowledgeable of Rio and the history and was able to provide so much information about the city during the tour. Provided light snacks and drinks and we really enjoyed ourselves. I highly recommend this company if you are looking for something to do and get information about the city. Thank you again for such a wonderful time. Obrigado!!!

We hired for a private sailboat outing for the day and the service was outstanding. The crew was very professional and provided additional information on the sites we observed. On board drinks and food were great. I highly recommend this business for your sailing needs.

Captain Cassio took us on a spectacular sail around Rio on the afternoon of 31 December. The views were magnificent. The snacks and drinks (Caiparinha of course) were prepared and served by hard working first mate Daniel.
Cassio and Daniel speak fluent English and are passionate about their city and country. We learnt so much about the history and traditions of Rio and Brazil whilst watching the barges moving into place for the fireworks at midnight.
Thank you for sharing your city and your passion for sailing with our family! It was a definite highlight of our trip and an excellent way to experience the Rio coastline! Highly recommended!

We sailed with Cassio in Rio on December 30 for a half day, and it was a fantastic experience! Cassio is a great sailor, he is local to Rio, and therefore he knows the waters and the best views to share.
Additionally, he has spent time in the U.S. and his English is perfect. He is a joy to speak with and his knowledge of Brazil and culture is intriguing if you're open for a nice conversation. He's local to Rio therefor he knows so much about Rio and Brazil.
If you're new or experienced on a boat, you will absolutely enjoy sailing around Rio. This experience offers sweeping views of Corcovado, Sugarloaf Mountain, the Favelas, Copacabana beach, and islands just off Urca. This is a perfect relaxing way to enjoy much nicer cool air, clean water, amazing views, and perhaps a swim at one of the popular stops. If you're lucky some wildlife can be seen as well. Each day or season affords a new experience.
The boat is beautiful. You couldn't ask for a better sailing experience in Rio!
My Girlfriend and I were at the end of our 4 month around the world trip, and this sailing experience was perfect for us. Great experience for couples, friends, or anyone looking for a relaxing and fun time on boat. Nice escape from the bustling beaches.

This was such an amazing first day in Rio! Cassio took us one such a beautiful tour for 3 gorgeous hours! The weather and the sights were stunning. The care he took in explaining all that we were experiencing lead to such a memorable trip for me. My hopes and prayers are to return to Brazil one day soon. The people are so warm and friendly. I hope to see you all again.

No Seriously! I can't believe I forgot to write a review about this. I went to Rio for my 30th Birthday celebration in July 2016, and spent that day on the water with Sail in Rio. We popped champagne and played our own music. I literally had the time of my life. We opted to have the boats to ourselves and I really think the price was great. We took pictures and had so much fun. The team was so kind, I literally wouldn't come back to Rio without doing this again. I even wanted to sail again but we weren't there for long. This was so great, Definitely go for it!

Our family had a fantastic 10-day trip to Rio over the holidays and, while there were many wonderful things to experience, the one we talk about the most was our sailing excursion with Captain Euchario. The look on my oldest son's face when Euchario let him steer his boat was priceless and all our boys got a chance to be shark bait (a fun, safe activity where they were pulled along in the water behind the boat). It was very easy to set up in advance of our trip over the internet, the boat was beautiful, and Euchario speaks perfect English and has many interesting things to tell you about Rio and Brazil. We had an unexpected storm kick up, but it just made the excursion more fun and exciting. Go sailing if you can -- the coast of Rio is breathtakingly beautiful!

Hi everyone! Thank you for reviewing us. We are very happy your family enjoyed the sail with our partner. We were in the water by the foot of Sugar Loaf with our second boat that day and also experienced the storm which is very common during summers in Rio. Beautiful show put together by mother nature! Hope to see you again in a future trip to the marvelous city! Cassio

The trip was wonderful way to experience Rio from a unique vantage point: the water! Euchario was our captain for the day, an accomplished sailor, fluent English, and so kind. Unfortunately, we had inclement weather that day, but in spite of an abbreviated trip, learned more about Rio and Brazilian history in general, that I felt extremely happy with the price / value.

We are very happy you enjoyed your sail with our partner. Sorry you had to abbreviate the trip. At the same token, I guess you had the unique opportunity to experience different weather patterns in Rio. Hope you will be back in the future! Thank you for your review! All the best, Cassio

Great, sunny day. 4 Grown ups and 2 children. great to see Rio from the "Outside" so different. Dont be too many People, they will get in Your way. The Captain Eucheria was calm and very knowlegeable. Good boat to sail with but we did not have Wind.
We went out to the islands in front of Rio and had a swim and a light lunch there. The sun is stronger out on the sea so take care of Your skin. Good to have the rooftop over the stearingweel.
We were very happy with the 6 hours trip. Would have been nice to to it later in the day to get the evening sun and breeze.
The youngest 10 years
was a litle restless so it was good to stop for a few swims.
