Itinerary (flexible)

Aboard your catamaran, you’ll set sail for Ilha Grande through a succession of exceptional anchorages: islands, secret coves and pristine beaches in remarkably clear waters.
Because every cruise is unique, the itinerary remains deliberately flexible. Your captain adapts it according to sailing conditions, wind and weather to offer a safe and exceptional experience—always favoring the most beautiful anchorages.
