Private Boat Tour in Santos – Full Day With Barbecue and Drinks

A full day on the water along one of Brazil's most scenic coastlines, with food, drinks, and hidden beaches included.


This private boat tour in Santos takes you on a seven-hour journey along the São Paulo coast, stopping at secluded beaches sheltered by Atlantic Forest and overlooked by most visitors. A live guide and attentive crew look after every detail from departure to drop-off.

The tour departs from a marina near Santos following a private vehicle transfer from your accommodation. Onboard, you will find a fully stocked bar, snack service, and a Brazilian barbecue prepared by the crew while the coast unfolds around you.

Boat options seat 6, 10, or 15 passengers, making this a versatile choice for couples, families, and larger groups alike. Floating accessories, stand-up paddle equipment, and a curated music selection round out the experience.

The beaches visited on this route sit beyond the urban stretch of Santos and Guarujá, protected by the surrounding hills and Atlantic Forest vegetation. The water at each stop is noticeably calmer and clearer than the city beaches, and the crowd is minimal.

Tour Highlights

Swim in the natural pools of Sangava Beach, a 90-meter stretch of calm, crystalline water sheltered from the open sea.

Visit Cheira Limão, the smallest beach in Guarujá, where Atlantic Forest meets the shore and butterflies drift between the trees.

Sail past the Santo Amaro da Barra Grande Fortress, a Portuguese colonial defense structure built between 1580 and 1640 at the entrance to the Santos estuary.

Explore Goes Beach, a 250-meter fishing village cove surrounded by hills with transparent sea and stone-formed natural pools.

Enjoy Brazilian barbecue, caipirinhas, snacks, and beverages served onboard throughout the full seven hours on the water.

Travel exclusively with your own group on a private vessel with a dedicated crew, available in capacities of 6, 10, or 15 seats.

Private transfers from and back to your accommodation in Santos are included, covering both the start and end of the day.

Cheira Limão and Fortress Passage

The boat continues to Cheira Limão, Guarujá's smallest beach at just 20 meters, where shells of varied shapes cover the sand and the forest sounds mix with the sea. Nearby, the 16th-century Santo Amaro da Barra Grande Fortress marks the entrance to the Santos port canal.

Goes Beach, part of a working fishing village, offers 250 meters of transparent sea enclosed by hills. Guests can swim, use stand-up paddle boards, or simply relax on the sand while the barbecue continues onboard.
