The Best Sailboat Rentals in Rio de Janeiro

Charter and Day Charter

The catamaran was the highlight of our trip to Rio! It was even better than the pictures. The pick up and drop off was very easy. We had 9 people and the boat felt very spacious. There were multiple bathrooms everyone could use and a full kitchen to make food and keep beverages cold. We anchored off a cute beach and had floaties for everyone in our party to use for swimming. The captains were wonderful and accommodating - they spoke some English which was a bonus for our group of Americans!

Charter and Day Charter

Amazing experience! We even hired a partner of Norman's to grill and provide a bar with drinks for us, and it was a great addition. It does come with an extra charge but it was worth it! If I return to Brazil, I will definitely be booking with Norman again.

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.

Charter 33ft Cruising Monohull In Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

Sergio was a wonderful host and his boat was perfect for a sunset cruise around Guanabara Bay. He was really communicative from the beginning to the end, and gave us all the time we needed to soak in the view and the experience. I would 100% recommend taking a boat trip on Sergio’s boat!

Charter 33ft Cruising Monohull In Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

Sergio is super cool and competent. His vessel is comfortable and sturdy. Sergio is a great skipper. Recommend him and the without hesitation. I was finally able to see Rio from the sea. Something that I had wanted to do for a long time. Great day trip. I imagine a longer voyage would be awesome aboard the Peterson yacht.
