Experience the beauty of Rio from a different angle! Come join us aboard our sailing yachts on a 3-hour tour under sail in the protected bay or open ocean waters of Rio. Departing from the Marina da Glória, this sailing experience unveils, right from the start, the two most iconic landmarks of Rio de Janeiro: the statue of Christ The Redeemer and Sugar Loaf. As the sailing proceeds, the Captain will help guests understand the magic of sailing and respond to questions about Rio's history, while guests relax, enjoy our welcome drinks, snacks and appreciate the great views!
