Setting Sail on a Family Adventure

As a family travel writer, I’m always on the lookout for experiences that can captivate both adults and children alike. When I heard about the Santos Boat Tour, I knew it was something my family and I had to try. The idea of spending a day on a private boat, exploring the stunning coastline of Santos and Guarujá, sounded like the perfect blend of relaxation and adventure.

Our day began with a convenient pick-up from our accommodation in Santos. The kids were buzzing with excitement as we made our way to the marina. The anticipation of a day filled with sun, sea, and sand was palpable. Upon arrival, we were greeted by a friendly crew who made us feel right at home. The boat was spacious and comfortable, with plenty of room for the kids to move around safely.

Exploring Hidden Gems

Once we set sail, the real magic began. The coastline of Santos is dotted with beautiful beaches, each with its own unique charm. Our first stop was Sangava Beach, a small slice of paradise with crystal-clear waters. The kids were thrilled to discover natural pools where they could splash around safely. It was a joy to watch them explore, their laughter echoing across the water.

Next, we headed to Praia do Cheira Limão, a tiny beach that felt like a hidden treasure. The untouched beauty of the place was mesmerizing. We spent some time collecting shells and watching butterflies flutter by, a serene moment that felt worlds away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The crew was attentive, ensuring we had everything we needed, from snacks to snorkeling gear.

A Feast for the Senses

As the day continued, we made our way to Góis Beach, a charming fishing village with a tranquil sea. Here, we indulged in a delicious Brazilian barbecue prepared right on the boat. The aroma of grilled meats mingled with the salty sea air, creating a feast for the senses. The kids enjoyed trying new flavors, and we all savored the moment, dining with a view of the ocean.

The day was filled with opportunities for both relaxation and adventure. Whether it was lounging on the boat, taking a dip in the sea, or trying our hand at stand-up paddleboarding, there was something for everyone. As the sun began to set, we made our way back to the marina, our hearts full and our spirits lifted.

The Santos Boat Tour was more than just a day on the water; it was a chance to connect with nature and each other. It’s an experience I would highly recommend to any family looking to create lasting memories together. The combination of stunning scenery, delicious food, and the warmth of the crew made it a day to remember.
