Sail Brazil’s Costa Verde — where rainforest meets the sea.
Imagine waking up to the gentle rhythm of the sea, warm tropical air, and endless shades of green where rainforest meets turquoise water. This is Brazil’s Costa Verde, and for one unforgettable week, it becomes the setting for an extraordinary sailing journey.
Our adventure begins in Paraty, a beautifully preserved colonial town where cobblestone streets, whitewashed houses, and colorful church doors create a timeless atmosphere. Just beyond the harbor lies a protected bay scattered with dozens of islands, hidden beaches, and calm anchorages — a true paradise for sailing.
Once the sails are raised, life immediately slows down. Days unfold to the rhythm of wind and water rather than schedules. We glide past jungle-covered islands where the Atlantic Rainforest spills straight into the sea, anchor in crystal-clear coves, and swim in warm emerald waters. Snorkeling reveals schools of colorful fish, while birds circle overhead and the coastline feels blissfully untouched.
One of the most magical moments of the journey is sailing into Saco do Mamanguá, often described as Brazil’s only tropical fjord. Steep green hills rise directly from the water, creating a sense of deep calm and isolation. Here, silence is broken only by nature — the splash of paddles, distant birds, and the soft movement of water against the hull.
As we continue along the coast, we explore the island-rich waters near Angra dos Reis, and, weather permitting, glimpse the wild beauty of Ilha Grande. Each anchorage offers something different: a perfect swimming spot, a secluded beach for a sunset drink, or a peaceful bay for stargazing under a sky free of city lights.
Life on board is simple and deeply satisfying. Fresh seafood, tropical fruit, salt on your skin, and sun-warmed decks. Afternoons drift into golden evenings, conversations stretch late into the night, and the sense of connection — to nature and to each other — grows stronger with each passing day.
After returning to Paraty, the journey continues on land. In São Paulo, Brazil reveals its vibrant, urban energy through world-class cuisine, art, music, and dynamic neighborhoods. It’s a powerful contrast to the calm of the sea and a fascinating window into modern Brazilian culture.
Finally, we arrive in Rio de Janeiro, where dramatic mountains plunge into the ocean and iconic beaches stretch beneath an endless sky. From sweeping viewpoints above the city to relaxed moments on the sand, Rio feels like a celebration of nature, movement, and life itself.
This journey is more than a trip — it’s a change of pace and perspective. A blend of sailing, wilderness, culture, and shared experience. Quiet anchorages and vibrant cities, rainforest and ocean, adventure and deep relaxation.
If you’ve ever dreamed of discovering Brazil from the water, of days guided by wind and sun and nights under the stars, this is your invitation. Come sail with us, and let the coast, the rhythm, and the spirit of Brazil carry you.
