Amazing boat and captain (provided by BYC). Extremely fair and reasonable price for generator overage which allowed us to run the AC as much as we wanted. Super helpful with contracting, which allowed us a waiver to sail wherever we wanted (though it meant giving up coverage outside the normal areas). Boat was nice, new and functioned great. Would rent again anytime.

Really good cruise. The surroundings of Ilha Grande are truly beautiful and ideal for sailing. The boat is not new but very comfortable for 8 people. We had the best skipper, Igor the boss, always listening to his customers, who showed us some of the most beautiful places in the bay. Only very good memories, wild beaches or lagoons, fishing villages, fishing then barbecue on the boat...to do again.
