Group Tour in early March 2020 - This was such an amazing first day in Rio! Cassio took us one such a beautiful tour for 3 gorgeous hours! The weather and the sights were stunning. The care he took in explaining all that we were experiencing lead to such a memorable trip for me. My hopes and prayers are to return to Brazil one day soon. The people are so warm and friendly. I hope to see you all again.

You can't go wrong with this duo! - Oi!
As a sailing fiend myself, I researched many charter options in the Rio area before deciding to sail with Cassio and Daniel. They are professional, experienced, and welcoming. I enjoyed my first trip so much that I joined another group the following day for another three hours on the water. The views are wonderful. Delicious refreshments and snacks were provided and there was plenty of space on the boat, even with all 10 people aboard. If you are prone to seasickness, I recommend taking something ahead of time..even the bay can get a little wavy. Cassio is flexible with the route based on the group's comfort level (bay only, open water/bay, etc.) and will anchor for some swim time if conditions are right and the interest is there. Cassio and Daniel are very knowledgeable about the area and are able to communicate with guests in a variety of languages (english, spanish, portuguese, and I think even French). I would recommend this charter to novice and experienced boaters. You can't go wrong with this duo!

Sail in Rio-Amazing sunset tour. - I honestly have nothing bad to say about this tour. It was the best way to end our vacation in Rio by seeing Rio in all of its glory from the bay.
The views were magical, photos don't do it justice, you have to be there to experience it. The Captain and his son were so welcoming and made this tour extra special by giving us a bit of history on the different focal points that we saw.
And did I mention appetizers and drinks which were so generously provided?
Don't waste anymore time reading this review. Go and book your next tour with Sail in Rio!

Wonderful sunset trip - What a wonderful way to spend an afternoon in Rio! We had a fantastic trip with Cassio and Antonio sailing around Guanabara Bay. Cassio is a very knowledgeable and entertaining captain and a pleasure to talk to. I can thoroughly recommend Sail in Rio for your next time here.

Magical, magical, magical - we signed up for an 11am tour on June 16th of this year to celebrate our 1st wedding anniversary. Cassio's sailing tour came highly recommended by a friend who had previously taken the tour (she loved it so much she went back again with her family).
Cassio was so communicative and warm and reached out to suggest we switch to the 3pm sunset tour because of the position of the moon while the sun began to set.
he wasn't wrong! so glad we took the sunset tour - it was simply STUNNING.
(it's wintertime in Rio in June so the sun sets at about 5:15...)
we had such a blast with the open group tour...so much so that we went out with a few of them afterwards to continue the celebration.
side bar - Cassio's son (first mate, of sorts) mixes VERY delicious (& strong) caipirinhas....served complimentary along with delicious charcuterie.
couldn't recommend this more.
it's a great way to relax and see the city from a different vantage.

Sunset sail tour, Best thing we did in Rio! - Thank you Cassio and Daniel for the amazing experience! We boarded the boat at the beautiful and exclusive Rio Yacht Club and from then on, the experience just got better. We sailed across the bay and out into the Atlantic for a better view of Rio, its geography and beaches. The trip includes cocktails and snacks for better appreciating the view and enjoying the company!!!
Don't leave Rio without trying this experience! 100% recommended for couples, friends, families with teens.
We will definitely be back for more.
