Brazil

Winter sun but with far more adventure than the usual Caribbean routes. A yacht charter in Brazil combines warm-weather sailing with vibrant culture, wild and untouched coastlines, secluded beaches and exceptional food. From cruising through lush islands and sheltered bays to exploring colourful coastal towns, sailing in Brazil offers a distinctive alternative to the West Indies – with plenty of sunshine, adventure and the freedom to explore at your own pace, all against a spectacular backdrop of rainforest-covered mountains, turquoise waters and some of South America’s most beautiful coastline.

The Costa Verde

Brazil’s Costa Verde is an exceptional destination for a yacht charter in Brazil, where emerald-green mountains meet clear jade waters, secluded beaches are accessible only by sea, and colonial towns such as Paraty offer timeless charm. Sailing the Costa Verde takes you through forested islands, sheltered bays and pristine anchorages, with Ilha Grande, Angra dos Reis and Paraty providing some of the region’s most rewarding stops. Warm breezes, lush Atlantic rainforest and remarkably unspoilt coastline combine to create a sailing experience that feels both vibrant and effortlessly refined.
