Discover secret peaks sailing on a Hawaiian canoe

About this experience

Have you ever heard of the Moana (Disney) canoe crossing the Pacific Ocean with your companion Maui? Yes, it was in Maui that I sailed for the first time on a canoe that sails very fast similar to that of Moana! I fell in love with the concept, brought the idea to Brazil and built a Hawaiian hi-tech sailing canoe.

With extensive experience in international regates and cruises, I know the Rio Sea as the palm of my hand, providing a safe sailing experience in unique locations that few people know.

Only here will you be able to sail, sail or simply relax by sailing on motor, which provides flexibility for audiences of various age groups.

Itinerary and highlights

Forget the traditional sailing tours. In this experience you and your guests will sail on a unique boat that combines the best of two sports: Hawaiian canoeing and sailing.

For 3 hours we will sail around the Sugar Bread watching the main postcards of the city, uncovering secret peaks, islands and caves that traditional boats do not dare to approach.

We will sail between Rio and Niterói, make stops for diving and photos at strategic locations and have a stop for snack and hydration. If you are interested in the art of sailing, you can regulate the candles and help navigate. At some times we will use remots to increase speed or to approach beaches, caves and coves.

If you like sports at sea, hallucinating landscapes and speed, this experience is for you.
