Private Luxury Catamaran Cruise in Rio de Janeiro

Some of Rio de Janeiro's most memorable moments happen beyond the shoreline.

Imagine stepping aboard a beautiful private catamaran, leaving the city behind, and celebrating with your favorite people as Rio's dramatic mountains and spectacular coastline unfold around you.

Welcome to an exclusive experience on Guanabara Bay, where breathtaking views, authentic Brazilian flavors, music, and warm hospitality come together to create something truly special.

For approximately five hours, the catamaran is reserved exclusively for your group, offering the freedom to relax, celebrate, dine, and enjoy Rio at your own pace. From the picturesque shores of Urca to the scenic waterfronts of Botafogo and Flamengo, every moment offers another perspective on the city's extraordinary beauty.

A Brazilian Celebration, Elevated

At the heart of your experience is a freshly prepared premium Brazilian barbecue, featuring traditional specialties, carefully selected grilled meats, flavorful accompaniments, and dessert—all served on board by a dedicated hospitality team.

Complementing the dining experience, a premium open bar offers handcrafted caipirinhas, signature cocktails, selected international spirits, beer, and refreshing non-alcoholic beverages.

Whether you're gathering around the table, sharing a toast, enjoying your favorite music, or simply admiring the views from the open deck, the atmosphere is yours to enjoy.

The spacious catamaran features comfortable indoor and outdoor areas, an air-conditioned lounge, and a premium sound system, creating an inviting setting for both relaxed gatherings and lively celebrations.

More Than a Cruise. Your Own Private Event in Rio.

A milestone birthday. A wedding celebration. A family reunion. A corporate gathering. An incentive travel experience. Or the perfect farewell to an extraordinary journey.

Whatever brings your group together, Rio provides the backdrop—and Florencios brings the experience to life.

For guests seeking an even more festive atmosphere, an optional professional DJ and dedicated sound system can transform the catamaran into a private floating celebration, with music tailored to your group's style.

From private hotel pick-up to your return transfer, Florencios coordinates the ground transportation and guide assistance, allowing you to enjoy the occasion without worrying about the logistics.
