About this activity
Sail Guanabara Bay on a private 3-hour voyage aboard the Kamehameha, with flexible routing that adapts to wind and sea conditions. Your exclusive boat accommodates 1–11 people, offering unscripted encounters with Rio's iconic landmarks—Sugarloaf Mountain, Christ the Redeemer, historic fortresses, and hidden coastal gems—from the water.
Our exclusive 3-hour tour is perfect for those seeking a truly private experience aboard a sailboat reserved solely for you and your group.
We offer two departure options daily:
- Morning: The waters are typically calmer, the sun is warmer, and the light brilliantly enhances the landscape's colors.
- Afternoon: A perfect setting to appreciate the sunset and the charm of Guanabara Bay as evening descends.
Book online easily and without hassle — the tour is suitable for groups of 1 to 11 people.
The tour begins once everyone is settled: we cast off the moorings, hoist the sails, and let the wind be our guide. The journey begins!
Since wind and sea conditions are constantly changing, we do not follow a fixed itinerary — and this very freedom makes each tour special. We always seek the best angles and moments to admire the natural and historical icons of Rio de Janeiro, such as Sugarloaf Mountain, Christ the Redeemer, the beaches of Flamengo, Botafogo, and Urca, as well as Icaraí, São Francisco, the Fortresses, the Historic Center, and Porto Maravilha.
When conditions permit, we can also sail to the ocean beaches of Rio or Niterói, making the experience even more unforgettable.
Each tour is a unique experience!

Insider tips

- ★Wind and sea state drive the route each day—ask the skipper what conditions favour that morning to manage expectations about which landmarks you'll reach
- ★Bring a light waterproof layer; the boat is open to elements, and bay breezes can cool quickly even on warm days
- ★The Historic Center and Porto Maravilha views are best captured from specific angles the skipper knows—let them guide the route rather than requesting a fixed itinerary
