Motorboats are the most chartered type of boat in Brazil, and the reason is practical: they’re fast, they fit almost any itinerary, and they let you reach three or four beaches in a half-day that would take a full day by road.
We list motorboats along most of the Brazilian coast — Rio de Janeiro, Angra dos Reis and Ilha Grande, Búzios, Paraty, Ilhabela, Guarujá, Florianópolis and Salvador among them. Charters are private, a skipper is included, and prices start at R$1,200 per charter. Prices are in Brazilian reais (BRL), and payment terms are confirmed with each quote.

The standard format is a private day charter of four to eight hours with a skipper included in the price. You choose the departure time; the skipper shapes the route around the sea and wind conditions that day. There are no other groups on board, so the pace is yours — stay longer at a beach that worked, skip one that’s crowded, head back early if the group has had enough.
Boats here range from compact speedboats for six or seven people to larger flybridge boats with cabins, and the umbrella covers everything without sails: speedboats, motor yachts, power catamarans, schooners and trawlers.
In Rio de Janeiro, routes take in Guanabara Bay, Sugarloaf Mountain and the Cagarras Islands, with departures also from Niterói and Barra da Tijuca. Angra dos Reis and Ilha Grande offer a protected bay scattered with hundreds of islands, including Lagoa Azul and Ilha da Gipóia. Búzios works as beach-hopping — Azeda, João Fernandes, Ferradura — and Paraty as island and mangrove scenery around Saco do Mamanguá.
Further south, motorboats are based in Ilhabela, Guarujá, Santos, São Sebastião, Bertioga and Ubatuba on the São Paulo coast, and in Florianópolis, Balneário Camboriú and Porto Belo in Santa Catarina. In the northeast, Salvador and Recife round out the list.
A skipper is included with every motorboat. Fuel is included on day charters with a set itinerary in Rio de Janeiro and Niterói; elsewhere we confirm it with you before booking. Food, drinks, barbecue use, generators and extra hours vary by boat and are confirmed with our team in each quote.
Some larger boats sleep on board, and from there multi-day itineraries are possible on request. All prices are starting prices and change with the date, the number of guests and the route.
A motorboat is the right call when you want to cover ground, when the group includes children, or when the day is built around a celebration. If you’d rather have a slower day with the engine off, look at sailboat rental in Brazil. For a large group that wants deck space over speed, catamaran rental in Brazil is usually the better fit.
Navegue Temporada is a Brazilian boat rental platform, and we handle the booking directly with you over WhatsApp or email. Tell us the date, the destination and how many guests are coming, and we’ll suggest the boats that match.
