MORE INFORMATION ON BOARDING AND DISEMBARKATION

 

Shared transfer: the most economical option

You travel in a vehicle shared with other passengers, and the boat crossing is already included. You board in Vila do Abraão and, when you get off the boat, our vehicle will be parked near the pier. We take you to the door in Rio de Janeiro’s main neighbourhoods, such as Zona Sul, Centro, Barra and Tijuca, as well as to Santos Dumont and Galeão airports. For other neighbourhoods and towns in the region, you get off at one of our meeting points along the route.

 

Private transfer: faster and more comfortable

The vehicle is exclusive to you and your group, with no stops for other passengers. It meets you at Marina Porto Real upon your boat’s arrival and takes you straight to any address in the city of Rio de Janeiro, including the airports. The drive takes approximately 2 hours. You can choose between a standard or executive car, an executive van, or a bus, depending on your group size. The departure time is coordinated according to your chosen (shared) boat crossing. The departure time is set according to the (shared) crossing you choose.

Once we receive your booking, we will contact you to confirm the pick-up point.

Do I need to book my transfer in advance?

Yes, always. On public holidays, weekends and in high season, we recommend booking even further ahead. We have a limited number of seats per departure, and they do sell out. When you book online, you get your confirmation right away, then the voucher by e-mail, and you just show it at the pier.

Is the crossing to Ilha Grande safe? Does the boat run in the rain?

Yes. Flexboats are certified by the Brazilian Navy, carry life jackets for every passenger and are operated by experienced sailors. They have a fibreglass hull and inflatable sides, which give stability and safety. They run normally in the rain. In extreme sea conditions, the departure is cancelled for safety and you will be notified immediately.

What if the boat is canceled due to rough seas and I have a flight?

Cancellations due to sea conditions are rare, but they can happen. In such cases, we notify you as soon as possible and reschedule your transfer for the next available departure. If you have a flight on the same day, we strongly recommend booking a transfer with plenty of buffer time.
