Power Boating in Brazil

Brazil delivers warm-water coast, dramatic granite and the Amazon. Sail and dive the northeast beaches, climb above Rio, surf, kayak and explore rainforest rivers. Vibrant and varied, with guides and centres on Adventuro for sea, crag and jungle adventures.

Overview

Power boating is part adrenaline and part craft. There is a real thrill to opening up a fast boat and carving across the water, but there is also a proper skill to handling one well: reading the water, coming alongside, and staying safe and in control. Learning it is as satisfying as the speed.

No experience is needed to start. Taster sessions get you driving straight away, while recognised courses like the RYA Powerboat scheme build genuine, certificated skills if you want to take it further or skipper your own boat.

The instructors on adventuro run powerboat experiences and courses for all levels. Throttle on for the fun, throttle off for the bits that need finesse.
