Brazilia - Yacht Charter
YACHTING IN BRAZILIA – WHAT’S KEPT UNDER WRAPS
Brazil hosted the 2016 Summer Olympics and, after that, was recognized as a world-class yachting power that was formerly unknown to anyone. Many charter yachts are now changing their traditional winter season in the Caribbean Basin to visit the largest South American country.
Angra dos Reis, or the Bay of Kings, is one of the most attractive destinations for charter yachts. This bay of 365 islands is situated 60 miles to the southeast of Rio de Janeiro and the aborigines say that there’s an island for every day of the year. Ilha Grande (Large Island) shelters tranquil waters with mild temperatures and these places have a very pleasant tropical climate. The warmest months are from October to April though it’s not dangerous to take a dip as the water remains around 70 degrees year-round.
Many of the marvelous beaches are empty and in the jungles and nature preserves you can watch waterfalls, see howler monkeys in trees, snorkel in transparent water, and examine interesting hamlets. Drop by floating restaurants, especially Barco Bar or Jango’s, and sip the local cocktail Caipirinha with fermented sugar cane. Your captain can take you to all the places of pleasure within wonderful Angra dos Reis
