A speedboat is the most practical way to see Ilha Grande Bay. Fast, easy to anchor close to shore, and enough to link three or four beaches in half a day — in a destination with hundreds of islands, moving quickly between them changes everything.
We list speedboats of various sizes in Angra dos Reis, from compact boats for small groups to models with a head on board, shade and a sound system. Charters are private and a skipper is included. Prices are in Brazilian reais (BRL), and payment terms are confirmed with each quote.
Pick a boat below and send us your date, group size and preferred route.
The usual format is a private charter of four to eight hours with a skipper included and the boat reserved for your group alone. You choose the departure time, and the skipper shapes the stops around the sea and wind that day.
The bay is sheltered on nearly every side — Ilha Grande acts as a breakwater against the Atlantic — so the water stays flat most of the year. On a speedboat that means short, comfortable hops between anchorages instead of the pounding you’d get in open water.
Ilha da Gipóia is the closest and most visited, with beaches such as Piedade and Dentista. Toward Ilha Grande, itineraries often include Lagoa Azul, a shallow, clear-water anchorage popular for snorkelling, and Saco do Céu, an enclosed inlet on the island’s north side. Other regular calls are the Cataguases islands and Praia Grande das Palmas.
A shallow draft helps here: smaller boats can anchor closer to the sand than larger ones, which matters at the busier beaches in high season.
Possible boarding points include Marina Piraquara, Marina Bracuhy, Marina Verolme and the piers around the centre of Angra dos Reis. The exact berth depends on the boat and is confirmed before your charter.
A skipper comes with every boat — speedboats here aren’t rented without crew. Fuel, food, drinks, barbecue use and extra hours vary by boat and are confirmed with our team in each quote. All prices are starting prices and change with the date, the number of guests and the route.
Speedboats are built for speed and day trips, not for space. If your group is large, if you want cabins, or if you’re thinking about staying out overnight, look at motorboat rental in Angra dos Reis, which covers the larger powered boats, or yacht rental in Angra dos Reis. To sail instead, see sailboat rental in Angra dos Reis; for deck space and stability, catamaran rental in Angra dos Reis.
