How it works

• 4 hours: 10am to 2pm or 2pm to 6pm. Enough to see the main beaches and stop for a swim.
• 7 hours: 10am to 5pm. More time at each stop, for a full day at sea.
• Included: licensed skipper, fuel, ice, charcoal, mineral water, cooler, barbecue grill and Bluetooth speaker. If you bring the meat, the crew grills it. Food and drinks are not included, so you can bring what your group likes.
• Boarding: at the piers of Praia dos Ossos and the marinas of Búzios, depending on the boat and time. The exact place is on each boat's page.
• Children and pets are welcome. The boat's capacity counts everyone, babies included, because it is the limit on the Brazilian Navy document.
• Booking: with a 50% deposit by Pix to Búzios Lanchas; the rest is paid on the day. If the Navy closes navigation on your date, the tour is rescheduled or the deposit refunded.
