Costa Verde is regarded as one of the Americas' most rewarding yacht charter destinations, where visitors enjoy a combination of tropical scenery, sheltered cruising waters and authentic Brazilian culture. The sailing region stretches from Angra dos Reis to Paraty, with in between Ilha Grande and hundreds of smaller islands scattered along Brazil's spectacular Green Coast.

Unlike some of the world's busier charter destinations, Costa Verde remains relatively uncrowded, allowing sailors to enjoy peaceful anchorages, rainforest-covered islands and beautiful beaches without the heavy marine traffic often found elsewhere. Whether you choose a bareboat, skippered or fully crewed charter, Costa Verde delivers an excellent balance of sailing, relaxation and exploration.
