    Absolutely Amazing Day on the Water with Ivo & Bruna! We had the most incredible day with Ivo and Bruna – an experience we’ll treasure forever! From the moment we stepped aboard, they made us feel welcome, safe, and completely at ease. They were fantastic with the kids, who absolutely adored them. The trip was a perfect mix of fun and adventure: we tried fishing (the kids were thrilled as they caught one) went snorkelling in crystal-clear water, and spent hours laughing, jumping off the boat into the sea, and paddle boarding in the sunshine. Ivo and Bruna’s patience, enthusiasm, and genuine love for what they do really shone through – nothing was too much trouble, and they made sure everyone had the best time possible. I just wish we could add photos !!

    This was the best boat trip we as a group have ever been on. The staff were super welcoming. They made us feel very comfortable and made the trip so amazing that it far exceeded our expectations. We also got food on the boat, which is a 10/10 recommendation from here. Wow that was delicious. There were 9 of us on the boat and there was still plenty of room. All in all, a fantastic boat with a thoroughly terrific staff.

    Exceptional service and experience. The guys were great with our nieces and making sure we went to the best (and safest) locations for snorkelling, paddle boarding and swimming. We would definitely rebook on another trip to go out again. Can’t recommend this enough - the highlight of the holiday

    An Unforgettable Day on the Water! We recently had the pleasure of spending a day on the water with Ivo and the amazing crew of Arraial Sailors, and it was nothing short of incredible! From the moment we stepped aboard, we were greeted with warm smiles and a level of hospitality that set the tone for the entire trip. The boat itself was immaculate, with every detail thoughtfully attended to, ensuring our comfort and enjoyment throughout the day. But what truly made this experience unforgettable was the crew's professionalism, expertise, and genuine enthusiasm. The crew was attentive to our every need, offering refreshments and snacks just as we needed them, and even providing insightful commentary about the area. Whether it was dropping anchor at the perfect spot for a swim, bringing out the paddle boards and snorkels, letting us taste tuna and oysters that they had fished or pointing out the dolphins, their knowledge and passion for what they do truly shone through. We can’t thank Ivo and the crew enough for making this day so special. It was the highlight of our trip, and we’re already looking forward to our next adventure on the water with them. If you’re looking for a memorable and worry-free boat day, we highly recommended Arraial! Thank you again, Ivo and crew, for an extraordinary day!

    An incredible experience. Both Ivo and Eugenio made us feel at home, we had a wonderful day, we saw beautiful landscapes and tasted the delicious local food they prepared for us. We will certainly not only recommend them but we will repeat for sure. Thank you for everything!
