What are the weather and sailing conditions like in Brazil?
Before embarking on your Brazilian boat charter, it is necessary to take into account that the country has a great climatic diversity. While this is one of the things that makes the country such an interesting place to visit, it can also cause some problems if you are not prepared.
To the north, in the Amazon region, the climate is equatorial. This means that it is hot and generally humid. Its average temperature is around 24ºC to 27ºC (75-80.5ºF). This climate is called equatorial because it affects regions that are close to the equator.
Another of Brazil’s climates is
tropical. This is the climate usually found in the
center of the country, a large part of
Piauí and a portion of
Bahia, Minas Gerais and Maranhão. The tropical climate typically has
well-defined seasons, with a
hot, humid summer and a
mild, dry winter. The
south of the country has a
lower average temperature compared to the rest.
Regardless of the different climates, Brazil is known for being a country with generally high temperatures, making it the perfect destination for your nautical vacation!
When is the best time for sailing holidays in Brazil?
While it is true that certain destinations, like
Angra dos Reis, are
good destinations for sailing year round, the
best times for your boat charter are generally considered to be
between April and May, and
between September and the beginning of November. During this period, the
average temperature is around 23ºC (73.5ºF), with
highs of around 30ºC (86ºF) and
lows of around 18ºC (64.5ºF).
Brazil, like many of the other countries in this area, has a rainy season, which runs from November through to March and the coldest temperatures are usually found between June and August.
Having said this, sailing conditions in Brazil will generally be fairly pleasant and consistent all year round. Winds typically come from the east and southeast and range from 8-14 knots (around 9-16 mph), and tend to get stronger in the afternoon. The sea is usually calm, having no strong currents, and the tidal range can reach up to 4 ft (just over 1 metre).
What to do during your boat charter in Brazil?
Brazil is a country of great natural beauty, idyllic beaches, street parties, music, and a cuisine that is both peculiar and enchanting. In essence, it has everything you need for the perfect vacation!
Starting with the parties,
Carnival is what attracts the attention of both foreigners and locals alike. Characterised by street parties, the Carnival celebrations see
groups of people take to the streets of the city wearing the most diverse and creative costumes and jumping to the sound of marchinhas. Rent a boat in
Rio de Janeiro and
Salvador, Bahia to discover the
most popular carnival parades. Get ready to accompany the samba schools and be sure to take plenty of pictures of the whole event.
To enjoy even more with your rental boat, we advise you to go to
Jurerê Internacional parties,
north of Florianópolis Island. The best thing about doing this is that, in addition to having the opportunity to enjoy the
night time parties, with all sorts of
entertainment, from national and international shows to famous DJs, the beach is right in front of the area where these parties take place.
Ilha da Magia, as it is known, has both a busier area, for those who prefer the action, and a quieter area, with a beach with calm and warm waters, meaning that a vacation here will suit everyone in your party.
The country also has
many natural beauties, among which is the
Fernando de Noronha archipelago. It is difficult to choose which is the most beautiful beach in this breathtaking area. With your rental boat, you can
visit the beaches you want and
enjoy scuba diving or snorkeling and hiking, as well as participating in
water sports in the emerald green waters.
If you like architecture, the country's capital,
Brasília, in the Federal District, is the place to go. The city has an
artificial lake,
Lake Paranoá, and we strongly recommend that you rent a boat in Brasilia to enjoy this lake. Playing water sports is a common pastime in the city. Some of the most popular ones include
paddleboarding, kayaking, kite surfing and wakeboarding.
For
football lovers, the
Maracanã Stadium, in Rio de Janeiro, is well worth a visit. The Maraca, as it is called, is the
largest stadium in the country and has already been at the centre of great moments such as Pelé's 1000th goal. Take the opportunity to rent a boat in Angra dos Reis , a region near the capital of Rio de Janeiro with
stunning landscapes and navigate through the crystalline waters of
Ilha Grande and be sure to make a couple of trips further inland to explore all the best spots of Rio while you’re at it.
Besides sports, another essential highlight of Brazilian culture is music. When renting a boat in Brazil, you should definitely enjoy a late afternoon in a bar, or better, in a boteco, listening to good Brazilian popular music and the famous samba music. Learn how to samba, have a caipirinha and eat the cod fritters, all while soaking in the infectious Brazilian atmosphere.
Each region has its cuisine that varies according to its climate and tradition. Açaí, feijoada, acarajé, rice with pequi, picanha... There are so many Brazilian dishes to sample that you’re bound to find your new favourite food among the local cuisine.
What are the most popular ports in Brazil?
The coast of the state of Rio de Janeiro is one of the preferred destinations for sailing in Brazil, with Angra dos Reis being the most sought after region. Overall, the Costa Verde Brasileira is the favorite navigation destination in Brazil, including Paraty and Ubatuba, which are at the top of the list!
The Lakes Region is also very popular, especially Búzios, Cabo Frio and Arraial do Cabo, as well as Salvador, in the northeast of Brazil!
The
coast of São Paulo is also in great demand, especially in the region of
Ilhabela and
Guarujá. In
Santa Catarina's waters,
Florianópolis dazzles all who go there with its landscapes and parties.
How to get to your boat charter in Brazil?
You can reach Brazil by water, air or land transport depending on where you are travelling from. You can get direct flights to Brazil from many major cities in
Canada and
the USA and you can even get some direct flights from
the UK. If you’re on a budget however, it might be
cheaper to get connecting flights from many countries, especially those in Europe.
Which boat should you charter in Brazil?
The boats with the
greatest demand in Brazil are the
motorboats because they are
comfortable, compact and have a greater engine power. This type of boat is
ideal for shorter trips, usually of
no more than a day or two, for example, or for
trips focused on speed and practicality. In a motorboat, you can
tour the islands of Angra dos Reis, windsurf at Praia do Arpoador, or maybe even bask in the water of the
beautiful beaches of Búzios!
Sailboats, on the other hand, are guaranteed to give you a
trip full of adventure and freedom! Allow yourself to be at one with the movement of the waves, guided by the winds of
Paraty or
Ilhabela, gain experience working on board with the sail, and learn all about pressure points and the peculiarities of the tide at your destination of choice. The experience of travelling in a sailboat is
extremely vivid and authentic, so don't miss this opportunity to discover the Brazilian coast in this way!
Catamarans are the perfect for those wanting to experience the true essence of comfort! These boats are multihull sailboats, and as such offer much more comfort, space and stability than a monohull sailboat. This makes them ideal for cruising with your family or with a large group of friends. Furthermore, the catamarans guarantee a super safe and stable navigation, which can help those traveling with children have a more comfortable trip. The distribution of their weight in two hulls also guarantees a greater lightness to the boat, which allows access to even the shallowest of waters!
Renting a yacht is the ultimate luxury experience! There is no more luxurious or comfortable way to explore than from the comfort of this extravagant vessel, gazing out over the turquoise waters surrounding you.
