This is a great scenic cruise conducted by friendly professional crew. They take time to make each of the (14) guests feel comfortable and safe. Drinks and snacks are delicious and very very plentiful. The views and sites are experiences we will remember as long as we live. We have travelled to many places and countries and the topography we seen is as good as we have ever seen. Loved the cruise.

Incredible Sailing Experience
Luis_H, September 2026
Great experience. Clarissa Rates made us all feel like family. I was a bit unsure as I traveled by myself and wasn’t sure how I would be received or what to expect. Clarissa made us all feel welcomed and I ended up making new friends.
The entire experience from the drinks, music and vibe just made this an experience to remember and a real highlight of my time in Rio. Thanks again to Clarissa and the crew. It was an awesome experience!
