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

Sail the Atlantic coast, explore hidden beaches, and dine on Brazilian barbecue aboard your private boat.


This private boat tour in Santos takes you from São Paulo to the sun-drenched coastline of Santos and Guarujá for a full day of sailing, swimming, and authentic Brazilian hospitality. A bilingual guide and dedicated crew accompany you throughout the journey.

The route covers some of the most secluded and ecologically protected stretches of the São Paulo coast, where the Atlantic Forest meets calm, clear waters. Beaches such as Sangava, Cheira Limão, and Goes remain free of high-rise development and offer a rare sense of natural quiet.

Onboard, the crew serves a continuous spread of drinks, snacks, and a traditional churrasco barbecue while music plays in the background. Floating accessories and stand-up paddle boards round out the experience between beach stops.

The tour is designed as a fully private outing, with boat capacity options of 6, 10, or 15 guests, making it equally suited to families, small groups, and corporate outings seeking an exclusive day on the water.

Tour Highlights

Swim in the natural pools of Sangava Beach, a sheltered 90-meter cove with crystalline, calm water.

Visit Cheira Limão and Goes beaches, both protected by Atlantic Forest vegetation and largely untouched by urban development.

Explore the Santo Amaro da Barra Grande Fortress, a colonial-era structure built during the Iberian Union to guard the Santos estuary.

Enjoy an all-inclusive spread of caipirinhas, cold drinks, appetizers, and a full Brazilian barbecue served onboard.

Travel with a bilingual accredited guide who provides cultural and historical context throughout the sailing route.

Use stand-up paddle boards and floating accessories during beach stops for extra water fun.

Door-to-door private transfers from and back to your accommodation in São Paulo are included in the tour.

1

Boarding at Santos Marina

On arrival at the marina, you board your private motorboat and meet the crew. The guide briefs the group on the day's route and the coastline's history before departure.

Sangava and Cheira Limão Beaches

The boat heads first toward Sangava Beach, a 90-meter sheltered cove with natural tidal pools, followed by Cheira Limão, the smallest beach in Guarujá at just 20 meters. Both spots offer calm, clear water ideal for swimming, with butterflies and forest sounds providing a backdrop.

4
Santo Amaro da Barra Grande Fortress

The route passes the 16th-century fortress erected during the Portuguese-Spanish union to protect the Santos port canal. The guide provides historical context on its role in Brazil's colonial defense.
