The duration taken to reach your destination depends on where the other passengers are going and the order along the route your accommodation is located. On average, after departing the port of Angra dos Reis, the crossing to Araçatiba is usually between 20 to 30 minutes, and to Praia Vermelha it takes between 30 to 40 minutes.

Because the route to Ilha Grande is mainly protected from the open sea, the trip is not usually overly bumpy, but there can be higher seas in times of bad weather.

The seats onboard are undercover, and there are plastic siding that comes down in case of rain. But do bring a raincoat in case of rain comes in through the front while the boat is moving.

The size of the boat used is determined by how many passengers on the day and may have 26 seats or seats for up to 50 people.

The boat type is called a Flexboat, which are speedboats purpose-built for this type of transport. They have inflatable tubes along the side, which make them the fastest and safest craft for ferrying passengers to Ilha Grande.

The boats are equipped with regulation safety equipment such as:

  • Two-way radio;
  • Individual life jackets (children’s sizes available);
  • Floatable rescue devices.

The boat to Araçatiba & Praia Vermelha makes stops at safe piers along the coast of those two communities. There is a regular order for the stops along the route, first passing Araçatiba and then Praia Vermelha.

If your pousada/hotel has a pier then you will be dropped off directly there. If not, you will be dropped off at the public pier closest to your accommodation. There are no vehicles in these communities and therefore you will need to walk with your luggage to your pousada from the pier.
