Private Boat Tour in Santos – Full Day With Barbecue and Drinks
Seven hours on the water, Brazilian barbecue onboard, and secluded beaches that most visitors never find.
A private boat tour in Santos gives you exclusive access to hidden coves, protected Atlantic Forest beaches, and the historic canal that has shaped Brazil's maritime identity for centuries. Your crew handles every detail so you can focus entirely on the scenery, the food, and the water.
Departing from a marina close to your Santos accommodation, the journey unfolds across approximately seven hours of coastal exploration. The itinerary connects Sangava, Cheira Limão, Goes, and Prainha Branca — four beaches that remain largely untouched by high-rise development and mass tourism.
Onboard, a live guide and attentive crew serve Brazilian barbecue, snacks, and drinks throughout the day. Music, floating accessories, and flexible stops make the experience feel less like a scheduled excursion and more like a day out with friends who happen to know the coastline intimately.
The boat capacity ranges from 6 to 15 seats, keeping the group genuinely private. A dedicated vehicle collects you at the start and returns you safely to your accommodation when the tour concludes.
Tour Highlights
Sail to Sangava beach, a 90-metre stretch of calm, crystalline water forming natural pools away from the crowds.
Discover Cheira Limão, the smallest beach in Guarujá, sheltered by Atlantic Forest vegetation where butterflies and birdsong accompany every visit.
Pass the Santo Amaro da Barra Grande Fortress, a 16th-century Portuguese colonial structure guarding the Santos estuary canal.
Reach Prainha Branca, a secluded white-sand beach in Guarujá surrounded by Atlantic Forest, ideal for snorkeling at high tide on the nearby island.
Enjoy a full Brazilian barbecue with drinks, snacks, and music served by your crew throughout the day on the water.
Travel on an exclusively private boat seating 6, 10, or 15 guests, with no strangers joining your group at any point.
Door-to-door private transfers from your Santos accommodation to the marina and back are included in the tour.
Itinerary
Your private guide collects you from your accommodation in Santos and drives to the nearby marina boarding area. The short transfer sets the tone for a fully attended, hassle-free day on the water.
The first stop is Sangava, a compact 90-metre beach with calm, clear water that forms natural pools at the shoreline. The absence of high-rise buildings and the surrounding Atlantic Forest vegetation keep the atmosphere tranquil and unspoiled.
At just 20 metres long, Cheira Limão is Guarujá's smallest beach — a shell-covered strip of sand where the forest meets the sea and ships pass through the Santos port canal in the distance. The nearby Santo Amaro da Barra Grande Fortress, built between 1580 and 1640, frames the canal entrance and offers a glimpse into Brazil's colonial maritime history.
As the boat moves between destinations, the crew serves a full Brazilian barbecue alongside snacks, drinks, and music. Floating accessories are available for those who want to cool off between beach stops.
Prainha Branca sits outside Guarujá's main tourist circuit, ringed by Atlantic Forest and lapped by blue-green water. At low tide, a narrow sand causeway connects the shore to a small island opposite the beach; at high tide the same causeway disappears under clear water suited to snorkeling.
After approximately seven hours on the water, the private vehicle drives you back to your accommodation in Santos. No shared shuttles, no waiting — the return transfer is as seamless as the departure.
