Awesome experience with great hosts

Eric_A, Sep 2023

It was an amazing experience! We lounged on the front of the boat, on top of comfy cushions, as we wandered past the various beaches on the peninsula. We stopped at three different snorkel spots - at one point, we swam with these little yellow and black striped fishes (called “sergeant major”). Literally, it was as if we were part of their school, and we just calmly floated as they surrounded us (front, back, sides) from a place of curiosity. This is kinda hard to describe, but I felt a kinship with these fish. Like, they became our buddies. We also saw an eel, starfish, black urchins, other types of salt water fish, and coral of course. We watched a turtle 🐢 swim around in the surface but were unable to see him below, due to murky waters. At one point, we anchored the boat near a calmer cove and the guys on board grilled for us - huge shrimp, vegetable skewers, potatoes and a beautiful pink fish called a “short bigeye”. The seasoning was very basic, just oil and salt - and the result was amazing, served with fresh lime. I mean, here we were, listening to our music over Bluetooth, eating fresh seafood, while gently bobbing in the water. The vibe was so chill, so comfortable and easy… And surrounding us were several party boats, with 50 or so people on them, no room to move, all trying to snorkel in the same area at the same time. We definitely felt like we were having a much better time.

Great for couple or small group that wants a special trip away from the booze cruise crowd

Mark_G, Apr 2023

I reserved the boat for me and my girlfriend because I didnt want to be on a "booze cruise" with 50 other people. It was just the two of us along with captain Patrick and one crew member. It was absolutely perfect. They served Caipirinhas and water as much as we wanted. They took us to beautiful coves and beaches as well as a secluded island. They offered to play our music via bluetooth but the music they had already was perfect. The captain had lots of knowledge of all the areas. I highly recommend this boat tour if you are looking for something more romantic or you want to take your family and friends without being among strangers. I would do it again for sure when I return. 10 stars!!!

Fabulous/Perfect/Amazing

Joy_N, Feb 2023

Key words: fabulous, perfect, amazing. We had an unforgettable day with Patrick and his first mate motoring in the waters surrounding Buzios. Stunning scenery, crystal-clear waters, delicious lunch, great boat. Patrick is a perfect captain and accommodating host. We loved/enjoyed every minute and created memories that will last forever.

Relaxing Boat Trip

Lisa_H, Sep 2021

We thoroughly enjoyed our afternoon out on the boat with Patrick and Rafael! We look forward to doing it again the next time we are in Buzios!

Great last minute private tour!

Mike, Mar 2020

This was a great tour. We booked the private tour last minute the night before and the captain was very accommodating and was able to fulfill our requests for drinks. Option to BBQ and a great 4 hour tour around to the beaches. Bluetooth connectivity was great and speaker on the boat works great. The captain was very informative and made sure we were always having a great time. I would recommend this for anyone to do while in Buzios, much better than the crowded big boats that tour around and not that much more money!

Passeio excelente!
