Looking for a boat rental in Santos? Explore hidden beaches, offshore islands, and one of Brazil’s top dive sites — all from the comfort of a private vessel with captain included. Whether you’re planning a family day on the water, a birthday celebration, or a corporate event, Navegue Temporada connects you with handpicked boats and experienced crews for an unforgettable experience on the Santos coast.
Santos sits just 70 km from the city of São Paulo, making it the most accessible coastal escape for one of the world’s largest metro areas. But convenience is only the beginning.
The city is home to the world’s largest beachfront garden, stretching along a sweeping bay of clean, warm waters. Beyond the shoreline, Santos gives you easy access to three distinct coastal destinations — Guarujá, Bertioga, and the open Atlantic — each offering a completely different experience. Add to that a tropical climate that keeps water temperatures inviting year-round, and you have one of the best starting points for nautical tourism in southeastern Brazil.
What makes a boat rental truly special here is the variety. In a single day, you can cruise past the historic port — the largest in Latin America — anchor at a quiet island cove for a swim, stop for a seaside barbecue, and watch the sunset from the open water. These are experiences you simply cannot have from shore. A private charter lets you set the pace, choose the stops, and enjoy the coastline on your own terms, with a professional crew handling every detail.
Whether you’re visiting Santos for the first time or you’re a São Paulo local looking for a weekend escape that feels worlds away, renting a boat here opens up a side of the coast most people never see.
Santos offers a range of vessel types to match your group size, budget, and style of trip. Here’s what you’ll find in our fleet:
The most popular choice for Santos. Sizes range from 30 to 55+ feet, comfortably carrying 6 to 20 passengers. Speedboats are ideal for day trips along the coast, with enough power to reach Guarujá, Bertioga, or the Laje de Santos marine park in short order. Many come equipped with sound systems, sun decks, onboard barbecues, and cabin suites for added comfort.
For those who prefer a quieter, wind-driven experience. Sailboats are perfect for sunset cruises, romantic getaways, and smaller groups of 6 to 15 guests. The sailing conditions off Santos are excellent, with steady coastal breezes and protected waters near the bay.
The premium option. Yachts offer full-service amenities — air-conditioned suites, living areas, full kitchens, and barbecue grills — making them the right choice for luxury celebrations, corporate retreats, and milestone events. Capacity ranges from 12 to 60+ guests depending on the vessel.
Stable, spacious, and comfortable. Catamarans are an excellent choice for groups with children, guests prone to seasickness, or anyone who wants extra deck space. Their twin-hull design provides a noticeably smoother ride than monohull boats.
One of the best things about renting a boat in Santos is the range of destinations you can reach in just a few hours. Here are the most requested routes:
A short crossing that opens up a string of stunning beaches and island stops. Most trips include Praia Branca, Praia do Perequeê, and the sheltered waters around Ilha das Palmas. This is the go-to route for a classic day on the water — swimming, snorkeling, sunbathing, and a barbecue lunch at anchor. Perfect for half-day or full-day charters.
Navigate through the calm Bertioga Channel, passing mangrove forests, the historic Forte São João, and the upscale Riviera de São Lourenço. This route is especially popular with families and groups who prefer calmer waters. It’s also a scenic option for those interested in history and nature alongside their boating experience.
Roughly 45 km offshore, the Laje de Santos State Marine Park is widely considered the best dive site in São Paulo state. Underwater visibility can reach 30 meters, and divers encounter turtles, groupers, barracudas, and a purposely sunken shipwreck surrounded by corals and anemones. The journey takes approximately 1.5 hours by speedboat and requires advance planning. Even non-divers enjoy the trip for the open-ocean experience and wildlife sightings, including seabirds and, during winter months, visiting species carried by Antarctic currents.
A small, car-free fishing village accessible only by boat, located about 30 minutes from downtown Santos. Ilha Diana preserves the Caiçara way of life — traditional coastal culture rooted in fishing, handicrafts, and local cuisine. Visitors can take community-guided tours through mangrove ecosystems, sample dishes prepared by local families, and experience a pace of life that feels completely removed from the urban coast. It’s one of Santos’ most unique and underrated destinations.
A scenic cruise along the Santos waterfront that’s ideal for shorter trips or sunset departures. The route passes the beachfront gardens, the busy port terminals, Forte do Itapema, Parque Valongo, and the Santos Air Base. It’s a great introduction to the city from the water and works well for groups short on time or looking for a relaxed evening on the bay.

Santos has a tropical climate, which means boating is possible year-round. That said, conditions vary by season:
Summer (December–March) is the warmest period, with temperatures reaching 30°C and above. The water is at its warmest, but rainfall is more frequent and afternoon storms are common. This is peak season, so availability is tighter and prices tend to be higher.
Autumn and Winter (May–September) bring milder temperatures around 22–26°C, less rain, and light to moderate easterly winds. Many experienced boaters consider this the best period for comfortable, stable sailing conditions. Availability is also better, and pricing tends to be more flexible.
Weekday departures generally offer calmer waters, fewer boats on popular routes, and better availability across our fleet.
Most of our Santos-area boat rentals depart from one of the following locations:
Getting there from São Paulo: Santos is approximately 70 km from the capital, reachable in about 1 hour via the Anchieta or Imigrantes highways. All embarkation points have parking available nearby.
Your exact departure point will be confirmed at the time of booking and depends on the specific boat selected.
