Sailing Brazil: A cruise down the country’s east coast

• Katy Stickland
• December 16, 2021

Often skipped by cruisers, Floris van Hees and Ivar Smits discover tropical anchorages, majestic animals and bustling cities while sailing Brazil and share their tips for cruising the east coast

Marinas in Rio de Janeiro are crowded and expensive. Cruisers on a budget tend to moor at Niterói, on the eastern side of the harbour, which is cheaper. Credit: marchello74/Alamy Stock Photo

The bright green vegetation of the Fernando de Noronha was the perfect backdrop as we took our first morning swim in a fortnight, writes Ivar Smits .

It extended from the top of the striking Morro do Pico peak to the golden beaches below.

As if on cue, a dolphin pirouetted out of the water close to us before another decided to take a closer look at the volcanic archipelago’s newest residents.

In the distance, a turtle came to the surface to breathe. Elegant frigate birds and acrobatic gannets flew around our Buchanan 47 ketch, Lucipara 2 .

Our first encounter with Brazil was nothing short of magical.

The island was in stark contrast to what we had seen while sailing the 1,400 miles from Cape Verde across the Atlantic Ocean.

Flora and fauna were limited to fields of seaweed, a single bird and the two fish we caught.

The only proof that we were not alone were symbols of ships on our plotter. At night, we could follow the starry sky all the way to the horizon.

The weather was anything but constant; the northeast trade wind decreased the further south we got, until leaving us altogether in the Doldrums.

There, showers would come and go and just as we wondered how long we would be stuck in this windless zone, a tropical wave brought relief.

Its strong wind pushed us out of the Doldrums and into the area where the southeast trade wind blows. It made the remainder of our first ocean crossing a breeze.

Still, the longer the trip took, the more we longed for land.

Fernando de Noronha, about 217 miles off mainland Brazil, was ideally situated on our route to Salvador de Bahía; it felt like an oasis in a blue desert.

After our morning swim we kayaked to the beach to check in with the harbourmaster, Marcos.

He barely spoke English, so Floris’ Portuguese lessons came in handy. The costs for anchoring and visiting the island were steep, so we decided to limit our stay to two days.

Not wanting to lose a minute, we immediately went for a hike as soon as the paperwork was settled.

Past a small settlement we found a viewpoint from where we could look down on a pristine, golden beach.

Rarely had we seen such an idyllic beach. Coconut-laden palm trees completed the picture of a tropical paradise.

Sailing Brazil: Two sides to Salvador

The second leg of our maiden ocean crossing took another week, but it felt shorter as the weather was fair and our pantry was full of tropical fruit and fresh vegetables.

When we approached Salvador de Bahía, a whale breached not far from the boat as if to welcome us.

Full of excitement, we sailed into a large bay lined by high-rise apartment buildings, which made the metropolis seem like a tropical version of Manhattan.

Our mood changed as we walked through the city. The historic centre boasts colourful colonial buildings, monumental churches, and museums, but heavily-armed military policemen on every corner revealed a darker side.

‘Don’t go outside the centre on foot,’ harbourmaster Dominique advised, so to visit a supermarket, we took a taxi.

We drove past dilapidated buildings, where homeless people lay on cardboard mattresses. At a set of traffic lights, a one-legged woman tried to earn some money by cleaning car windows.

Down the road an expensive SUV drove through the automatic gates of a luxury, camera-protected apartment complex. The city’s dichotomies were unmistakable.

We saw another face of Brazil when we explored Salvador’s large bay.

We dropped anchor at Ilha de Itaparica amid a dozen other cruisers. It’s well sheltered and known to be safe. There is even a marina , which we only used to leave our kayak to go ashore.

In the small village there are supermarkets, restaurants and even a public standpipe where locals and cruisers alike could fill their bottles and jerry cans.

The city across the bay felt like a world away.

After an easy day sail further south, we anchored at the friendly hamlet of Gamboa, and made our way on winding paths to the village of Morro de São Paulo.

Offshore sailing skills: All you need to know

Will Bruton finds out what coastal cruisers should consider before taking their small yacht on an offshore adventure

After a few hours of sweating, climbing, and clambering, we found an ideal resting place on a fairy tale beach. A refreshing sip from a coconut made it all worth it.

The water taxi back to our boat was a bonus. Further south, in the bay of Camamu, we found another idyllic anchorage at Ilha de Goio.

We were surrounded by coconut trees and managed to pick some ourselves; the coconut water was refreshing and delicious and we eked it out as we made our way towards Rio de Janeiro.

Sailing past the Abrolhos Islands, a screeching sound had us fearful that we had a sudden mechanical problem.

Our panic subsided when a humpback whale fin suddenly appeared close to Lucipara 2 , followed by a second.

During half an hour we were treated to a whale song-and-dance performance. Their sounds resonated in the cabin. Occasionally they showed themselves, flapping their fins or revealing their tails.

The spectacle reached its pinnacle when two whales jumped out of the water in unison. What a show while sailing Brazil!

The animal watching continued past Cape Frio, where we saw large seabirds. ‘Yes, they are definitely albatrosses!’ Floris shouted after consulting our bird guidebook.

Without moving their wings, these impressive birds hovered just above the water and stayed with us for hours.

Like us, they made use of the steady trade winds that made sailing Brazil and along the coast quite comfortable.

Urban delights

Just as we approached Rio de Janeiro, the sun disappeared behind Sugarloaf Mountain.

The large, iconic statue of Christ the Redeemer, brightly lit, looked down on us from afar as we sailed into Niteroi, just across the bay from Rio.

We moored in the upmarket yacht club, Charitas, and after checking in took a dip in the huge pool.

We could have floated and swam all day but we still had to formally check-in, so we took a ferry across the bay to the centre of Rio to visit the Capitania for the necessary stamps – a must in every town.

Not much later, we strolled through the hip residential area of Santa Teresa, admired gigantic trees in the botanical garden and visited Christ the Redeemer to get a good view of the city, bay and beaches.

Back at sea level, we immersed ourselves in Brazilian beach culture, sipping caipirinhas on Ipanema beach.

At the same time, the many favelas on the outskirts of the city reminded us of the staggering social inequality that has become so characteristic of Brazilian urban life.

From Rio, it is a full day’s bus ride through rolling hills to Viçosa. We were there to meet Professor Irene Cardoso at a conference on agro-ecology.

Large-scale deforestation in Brazil is mainly due to livestock and industrial agriculture, including the growing of animal feed and other monoculture crops.

‘The typical approach is to cut down the valuable wood first, burn the remaining vegetation and sell the land to farmers. Where monoculture crops are planted, they deplete the soil and leave behind barren land. Agro-ecology, on the other hand, is based on cooperation with nature,’ she told us.

We saw the importance of agro-ecology when Irene took us to a coffee farm in Araponga. Between and around coffee bushes a variety of plants and trees ensured a healthy ecosystem.

Yet the coffee forest offered more than ecological benefits.

‘Farmers pooled their savings to buy this land. Using natural methods, they made the land fertile again after the former landlords had exhausted it. Besides coffee, which they sell for income, they grow various crops for their own use. It works well; more and more people are joining the cooperative. People are even coming back from the slums to farm here!’ Irene explained.

Back on board we chose our next destination: Ilha Grande.

Literally a large island, which, thanks to numerous bays, beaches, and surrounding islands, is one of the most beautiful sailing areas in Brazil.

We would have liked to have explored here longer, but the clock was against us.

Time to clear out

Of the 90 days we were allowed to stay in Brazil, we only had two weeks left, and we still had to sail 1,000 miles to Uruguay.

The further south we sailed, the less predictable the weather became.

‘Where are the stable winds that brought us here?’ Ivar sighed. Hardly any wind was expected for the next 10 days.

Thanks to our light-wind sail we managed to reach Parati, a picturesque town dotted with colonial buildings.

While we enjoyed the atmosphere there, we also constantly checked the weather reports to see if we could sail on.

With the slightest of breezes and a lot of patience we sailed to Florianópolis. There, the zone of calm wind ended abruptly.

A cold front with strong southerly winds was forecast and we didn’t want to be at sea when it arrived.

Meanwhile, our 90-day visa had run out, so we visited the authorities to formally clear out.

But rather than leave, we anchored in another bay and waited a week for northerly winds to take us to Rio Grande, Brazil’s most southerly port.

In the dark, we sailed up the river to the pontoon belonging to the Museo Oceanographic, which we knew to be free and informal.

Since we were already cleared out, it felt like sneaking in. It worked: no one asked for our papers.

On our way out, we held our breath as we sailed past the Capitania and an incoming navy ship.

They both left us alone, so with a sigh of relief we said goodbye to a magnificent country.

Sailing Brazil made an unforgettable impression on us.

In a fantastic cruising area, tropical islands, fascinating sea creatures, and bustling cities alternated at a pleasant pace.

The security situation in some places had us worried beforehand, but did not cause any problems.

We were, however, shocked by the scale of social inequality. The contrasts between the elite and the homeless poor were enormous.

Fortunately, we met inspiring people who were and are working on solutions to tackle deforestation and poverty.

If only we could have stayed longer than three months to sail this large, absolutely breathtaking country.

Tips for sailing Brazil

Sailors for Sustainability Dutch sailors Ivar Smits and Floris van Hees are sailing around the world in their Buchanan 47 ketch, Lucipara 2 looking for inspiring and sustainable solutions to social and ecological challenges. By blogging and vlogging about the positive solutions they discover, they hope to inspire people to make positive changes. www.sailorsforsustainability.nl

The security situation in Brazil raises questions among sailors. There are many reports of crime and violence, especially in the cities.

Some anchorages and bays have a bad reputation because of past incidents. These are often known to harbourmasters and other sailors.

Noonsite ( www.noonsite.com ) can provide an up-to-date overview. We had no problems.

The marinas and yacht clubs we visited were secure and we followed the advice of local people and fellow cruisers. We always locked our boat properly when we went ashore.

On hikes, we only took a limited amount of cash with us. The coastal towns we visited are heavily dependent on tourism, so the authorities have an interest in making sure visitors are safe.

We saw many police officers in all the places we visited and did not feel unsafe anywhere. As far as we are concerned, safety is therefore no reason to avoid this part of Brazil.

Upon arrival and departure in Brazil, a visit to the Immigration Service (Policia Federal/ NEPOM) and Customs (Receita Federal) is required.

In addition, check-in and check-out with the Port Police (Capitania) is mandatory in each port.

The order in which the authorities should be visited (Immigration, Customs, Port Police) is important. Most officials often only speak Portuguese. Some basic skills in that language proved useful.

As Dutch citizens, Brazil granted us a 90-day stay as a tourist.

In principle, an extension is not possible as you have to spend at least 90 days outside of Brazil before being allowed to enter for another 90 days.

Rules may differ depending on your nationality.

Luxury Yacht Rental in Brazil

Luxury yacht charter guide to brazil.

Four thousand nautical miles make up the gauzy green and blue ribbon like coast of beautiful Brazil, making it a yacht charter paradise for sure. This is a destination that has it all – from the buzz and bright lights of sultry Rio de Janeiro to sunset anchorages against a beach paradise backdrop, deep jungle dives into the Amazon, and old colonial towns. Brazil is rich biodiversity, endless adventure, and carnival magic. Whether you love to shake your tail feathers and samba all night long or whether seeking something off the beaten track, Brazil brings it all to the table.

Reasons to Charter a Yacht to Brazil

Endless ecosystems.

From pink dolphins skimming the waters of the Amazon to whale watching off the coast, long billed toucans tilting their head to watch you pass beneath the canopy, and sea turtles drifting serenely through the coral reef – Brazil boasts one of the most diverse eco-systems on earth. The Amazon is a must see for those wanting to lose themselves in the lush jungle. Yachts can charter the sweeping river, hitting the hot spots of Alta do Chao, Parintins, and Manaus.

Buzzing Cityscapes

Samba beats, sassy cocktail bars, lively restaurants, and an unbeatable joie de vivre for life – there’s a thousand and one reasons to fall hard for Brazil’s colourful cities. Rio tops the charts as a city that strikes up the soul, with its gorgeous backdrop of mountains and blue waters, its iconic statue, and its harbour brimming with sailboats and yachts. San Paulo too is all cosmo charm and offers some incredible dining options and plenty of late nights waxing lyrical with the locals.

Breathtaking Beaches

Caipirinha in hand and visions of sugar white sands and waters so clear and warm you can see every single shell on the seabed - Brazil is a beach lovers dream. With so much coastline to explore and a wealth of scattered islands, you can soak up the sun on the shores of Isla Grande, snorkel through the Blue Lagoon, float and fish along the islands west of Abraao, and find secret spots as you sail the fjords of Saco de Mamangua.

Where to Visit in Brazil

Rio de janeiro.

Raucous, bright, and brimming with boundless energy – Brazil’s capital is a non-stop party. This city has everything you could ever wish for including golden sandy beaches, endless restaurants, and bars for a heady hedonistic night out, slick neighbourhoods, and endless parades. Hit the sophisticated celebrity fresh shores of Ipanema Beach, sail across the Baia de Guanabara, and even paraglide off nearby mountains for a birds-eye view of one of the world’s most captivating cities.

Isla Grande

One glance at the pristine retreat of Isla Grande and you could never guess it was once a leper colony. Having shaken off its less than illustrious history, Isla Grande is now a gorgeous vision of palm trees and virgin rainforest sweeping down to meet white and blue beaches. There’s a slip of sand for everyone around these sublime sailing grounds and dozens of trails leading into wildlife bright territory. The waterfront also hits a sweet social spot with fresh fish sizzling and rainbow fruit for bartering.

Saco do Mamangua

Blend sailing down the winding fjords of blue Saco do Mamangua with a trip to the popular and pretty town of Paraty. Dramatic peaks and hikes wrap around the 7km inlet, making it an excellent spot to sail, kayak, drop anchor and stroll. Over in Paraty there’s plenty to see. The former gold port has a stunning historical centre with cobbled streets flanked by Portuguese architecture. There’s mangroves to explore, pretty churches, and a whole host of gorgeous beaches.

When to Charter a Yacht to Brazil

December to March sees the Brazilian summer in full swing and those sailing during this time will get all the beach lounging they desire, although it does get humid in the north. This is also the time period when carnival spirits are riding high. The shoulder seasons of April and October can also be good times to visit if you want to avoid the crowds.

Brazil Yacht Charter

Explore the yachting oasis of Brazil’s Green Coast

One of the best-kept yacht charter secrets in the Atlantic, Brazil is slowly gaining popularity as a luxury yacht destination, and it’s easy to see why. Along this gorgeous stretch of Atlantic Coastline, you’ll find thousands of beaches, bays, natural harbors, and islands, most of which are uninhabited. Sunshine is plentiful, the emerald waters are calm and crystalline, the ever-present breeze is warm and gentle, and the culture is unique and welcoming, enticing travelers from around the world to this cultural melting pot. From the original natives and 16 th  Century Portuguese explorers, to more recent immigrants from Japan, Italy, France, Germany, and Lebanon, Brazil is a fusion of ethnicities, offering a dynamic variety of cultural, historical, and dining experiences.

Angra dos Reis, or Bay of Kings, in the state of Rio de Janeiro is the perfect place to begin your voyage. Sheltered by the large island of Ilha Grande, the gorgeous bay is home to more than 300 islands, and the short distances between them offer infinite spots to stop off and enjoy snorkeling, diving, or swimming. Venture ashore to enjoy a private picnic or beach barbecue prepared by your chef, or explore rainforest trails leading to cascading waterfalls and immerse yourself in the splendor within. Brazil is so much more than Rio and Ipanema, and your luxury yacht is waiting to take you there.

Arrive in Angra dos Reis via charter flight or helicopter from Rio de Janeiro, and head to Marina Verolme to meet your yacht and crew. Enjoy a celebratory cocktail on board as your captain makes way to the village of Abraão on Ilha Grande, where you can sample the local “feijoada” (bean and meat stew). With more than 100 stunning beaches, countless scenic hiking trails, and lush mountainous landscapes, it’s the perfect spot to venture ashore and explore.

Cruising along coast from Angra to Paraty, you’ll have your choice of anchorages, each one more beautiful than the next. Explore the landlocked cove of Saco do Céu, find a spot to anchor, and then head ashore for a forested hike and a swim under a waterfall. Continue to the enchanting city of Paraty, where you’ll find art galleries, famous restaurants, jazz clubs, and several bars with lively samba dancing.

Ilha da Cotia

Take a quick jaunt to Praia Grande for sunbathing on its stunning sandy beach, kayaking in the gorgeous waters, or simply strolling along the coast. Set out for Saco do Mamanguá, home to Brazil’s only fjord, with majestic towering rock walls jutting into the lush rainforest, and then continue to Ilha da Cotia to find a secluded anchorage and take in the panorama around you.

Ilha de Paquetá

Brightly adorned horse-drawn carriages are the only “vehicles” you’ll see, as no cars are permitted in this quaint, leisurely village. For a chance of pace, dine at Chez Dominique, serving up the best French food in the region.

As you make way back toward Ilha Grande, stop off at one of the many islands in the Baía da Ribeira, an idyllic spot to swim or splash around with the yacht’s water toys. Anchor out near Araçatiba, known for its abundant fishing and reflective aquamarine waters that may turn phosphorescent at night.

If weather conditions are favorable, take a counterclockwise turn towards Aventureiro, a rugged bay surrounded by tumbled boulders forming serene pools. Continue to Parnaioca, a nature-lover’s paradise, where a flowing river finds its way down to the unspoiled beach. Cruise around to the tip of Ilha Grande to Palmas and find a serene anchorage, enjoy a cocktail on deck, and take in the beautiful views.

Angra dos Reis

After navigating through this beautiful oasis of more than 300 islands, return to Angra for your ride to São Paulo for some last-minute shopping and dining. Or head to Rio de Janeiro to take in landmarks, such as the iconic Christ the Redeemer statue. However you choose to end your journey, it will surely be the perfect finale.

Charter a superyacht in Brazil

Brazil yacht charter.

One of the best-kept charter vacation secrets is the coast of Brazil, which some say is much like the Caribbean before it was discovered. This huge South American country is a melting pot of cultures and nationalities, from the original indigenous peoples and 16th Century Portuguese explorers to the much more recent immigrants from Italy Germany and Lebanon. You’ll be sure to have a rich variety of cultural and taste sensations when cruising in these waters.

One area that is growing in popularity for chartering is Angra dos Reis (Bay of Kings) on the Costa Verde, in the state of Rio de Janeiro on the southeastern coast. Located in a large bay sheltered from the Atlantic by Ilha Grande, a looming island, this delightful cruising area has 365 islands to explore, as the locals say “one for every day of the year”.

The short distances between the islands encourage you to stop frequently and explore secluded anchorages, snorkel or dive (the water is deliciously warm; even in winter it’s around 25°C), have a barbecue, or follow the many trails into the rainforest to swim in the waterfalls.

Some beaches are serene and untouched whilst others have bustling nightlife and some even have floating bars; so whether you’re in the mood for tranquillity or partying, you’ll be able to find the perfect location.

Ilha Grande itself is a popular spot with holidaying Brazilians, so it’s a great place to try out the local food and dancing. On the mainland, the historic old town of Parati is charming, with Portuguese architecture dating back hundreds of years, and the gorgeous old buildings bedecked with flowers along cobbled streets.

And of course the Costa Verde is just a couple of hours from vibrant Rio itself, a wonderful juxtaposition with the peace and quiet of forest-fringed beaches.

Recommended:

Brilliant beaches.

Ilha Grande, Praia Lopes Mendes: Ilha Grande, South of Rio, is famous for its lovely beaches and forest trials – and one of the best beaches is Praia Lopes Mendes, a flawless curve of pale yellow sand, backed by palms and lapped by water that gradually changes from azure to turquoise. Close-up it is even better: an ultra-wide beach of perfectly clean sand with a safely shelving profile, bounded by granite outcrops and usually only visited by a handful of people along its three kilometre length. To top it all, there is no rubbish, no seaweed and no flotsam or jetsam.

Using a helicopter to get around in Brazil, especially in-an-around Rio, is much safer and often more convenient than using a car. It’s also a great way to see the sights – especially the statue of Christ the Redeemer.

Brazil yacht charter.

Brazil provides a wide range of cultures, evergreen national parks, refreshing caipirinhas, paradise bays, and sailing areas for beginners and advanced sailors. Thanks to these tropical climates and the steady trade winds, this area provides a year-round yacht charter opportunity.

Some reasons, why Brasil is a good sailing destination:

• Strong infrastructure
• Optimum Wind Conditions
• Advanced Navigation
• A broad range of wildlife
• Variety of conditions of weather

Brazil is broad both in terms of area and population. It is the fifth-largest country globally and has a population of around 200 million; Brazil is the most populous country in South America, is adjacent to the Atlantic Ocean, and shares its borders with every South American country other than Chile Ecuador. The country’s name derives from the Portuguese word ‘Brasa,’ which means ‘gloss,’ referring to Brazil’s woods and color. During the Colonial era, this wood was commonly found in the wilderness along the Atlantic coast, providing an essential commercial commodity for the area used for dyeing fabrics. Brazil has an area of 8.5 million kilometers, the currency is called Real, and the official language is Portuguese. Owing to the high immigration rate, there are also a variety of minority languages spoken in Brazil. Some Brazilians speak English, German, Italian, Japanese, and Spanish. Brazil’s southern coastal regions are the most heavily populated areas where the coffee plantation landscape dominates the metropolitan regions of São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro. Brazil, with its 62 national parks, is the most species-rich country in the world. However, due to the Brazilian Rainforest’s deforestation, these animals and plant species are increasingly at risk.

Brazil’s Environment & Weather

In the summer, the climate in the charter region of the east coast of Brazil is characterized by moderate winds and high temperatures. Average temperatures in the months between April and October are around 25 ° Celsius (77 ° Fahrenheit); however, temperatures are frequently above 30 ° Celsius (86 ° Fahrenheit) between November and March. The best time to sail in Brazil is April – May, and September through to the beginning of November. The water temperatures increase to a tropical climate of 28 ° Celsius (82 ° Fahrenheit). Sailing records carry evidence of a persistent sea-breeze, where the winds blow at around 19 knots, causing swelling infrequently. However, rain showers are expected in Brazil, and weather changes are likely all the time. Heavy rain is expected from time to time during the summer.

Navigating Conditions

It is possible to navigate Brazil all year round. However, Brazil’s navigation conditions are best in the summer, although some boaters prefer to sail in the spring and autumn. The sea temperature is around 28 degrees Celsius on average during the summer, but in the south of the country, temperatures will fall below 16 degrees during the winter.

During the summer in Brazil, winds from the north blow daily at a speed of 12 knots. The wind is always low between Rio de Janeiro and Florianópolis. In winter, look out for the “pampeiros,” a violent wind with speeds of up to 60 knots.

Boat rental is starting to grow more in Brazil. Still, motor boating is the main activity (apart from fishing). 80 percent of the Brazilian fleet is made up of motorboats .

Getting around

The local language is Brazilian Portuguese (not Spanish, not European Portuguese).

Timekeeping in Brazil is very versatile. It is typical and socially acceptable to arrive 30 minutes later than expected.

Buses operate daily between the city of Rio de Janeiro and Angra dos Reis. The bus arrives at the main entrance of Marina Verolme, and from there, it’s about 500m to the docks. The bus company from Rio de Janeiro to Angra dos Reis and Paraty is Costa Verde Transport. To get off at the marina bus stop, tell the driver in advance. It is not recommended to rent a car in Brazil.

Between São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro

The new Marina Verolme is the ideal starting point for a more extended charter cruise. By car, it’s just thirty minutes away from Rio de Janeiro and roughly two hours away from Rio de Janeiro airport. With either a catamaran or a sailboat, going alone or sailing with an accomplished captain and crew, Brazil’s east coast is flexibly sculpted. The town of Paraty is the favorite stop among many sailors. Partay has 37,000 residents and is situated on the stunning Costa Verde. This small town has a charming old colonial atmosphere that has become a national monument. Besides, regular traffic in the city is blocked, so a calming walk through the old town with its music festivals and art exhibitions is strongly recommended.

On the other side, the multicultural São Paulo is waiting with its 11 million inhabitants. São Paulo has a lot of excitement and nightlife, so it is also compared to New York City. The best view of the skyline of São Paulo is definitely at the top of the 168-meter-high “Edificio Italia” hotel, which also contains an excellent Italian restaurant with panoramic views of the city. Boredom does not occur here, mainly when the annual Rios City Carnival occurs. During the carnival, the town is transformed into a single, vast, colorful group.

There are many fascinating stopovers and sights in Brazil: Salvador de Bahia, Fortaleza, Ocean Island, Rio de Janeiro, Ilha Grande, Vitória, the Amazon, Rio Grande do Sul, Santiago do Iguape … Tropical plants, sparkling waters, and sandy dune-lined beaches guarantee a memorable trip to Brazil.
