   Praia 47 Catamaran rental in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

   What an amazing trip! Group from the states and our first time in Brazil. Norman did a great job coordinating us with our ship caption and picking us up from a dock closest to our accommodation. Shocked by beautiful islands and swam with pool toys provided! Captain and skipper were so kind upon departure and took us to stop for ice and extra water before taking off. Best boating experience in Nitero!

   Praia 47 Catamaran rental in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

   Had an amazing day on a 47' Catamaran. Departure point was about 20 minutes in an Uber from Copacabana. Booked a 6 hour trip, which was about perfect. Captain and crew were super nice and they took us to an awesome beach where the restaurant brings the food out to the boat in a dinghy. I would suggest bringing your own drinks, we did not but it would have made things easier. One thing to keep in mind is that the person who handles the bookings speaks english well, but the captain and crew do not. We were able to figure things out, though, and it was a fantastic day! Definitely a highlight of our week in Rio.

   This was our first trip to Rio. We wanted to charter a boat for 3 days. I could not be happier. We had a beautiful centurion 47. Retrofitted in 2021. Captain Marco and skipper Phillip were wonderful. We sailed to Isla Grande which so beautiful and natural. We had nice sailing weather. He BBQed for us twice. The local restaurants were great as well. Wonderful experience!!! Would like to do it again soon. There is a lot to explore on the Brazilian coast. I don’t think people realize how special this coastline is. Or maybe it’s just me ? it should be on more people’s radar.

   Perfect experience! Our captain showed us amazing views of Rio and sights that we would have you otherwise never known about. The pickup was perfect and the boat is very luxurious. I would definitely book with Norman again and wish I had another chance to during my stay!

   Fun trip. Boat is great. Communication could’ve been better, confusing how to find the boat. Itinerary was ok not great. Too much sitting in certain locations and not moving. Seemed like they didn’t want to use much gas. Service on the boat was fantastic, great staff.

   This boating excursion was the best part of our Rio trip (and we did a lot of excursions)! There were ten of us total (including eight “kids” ages 17 to 25). Communication with Guilherme was very professional and prompt from the very beginning. Neto was our guide (and captain) on the boat and he and his crew did an amazing job! Boat was fabulous and made us feel very “glamorous” for the day. They barbecued lunch for us on the boat (and even got a cake as we were celebrating the 21st birthday of one of our kids). Highly recommend using Guilherme and Neto (and THIS boat) for anyone who wants to see Rio from the water. The trip was simply magical because of these guys. Bravo! 👏👏👏
