On A Boat.
Wake Boat Rentals in Rio de Janeiro
A real wake boat changes the size and shape of the wake on demand. Book My Boat lines up Nautique, Malibu, Axis, and MasterCraft vessels with licensed captains. Gear, instructors, and lessons come built in to most bookings. Trips run 2 to 4 hours so the group can rotate through surf, board, and ski sets. The sheltered waters of Guanabara Bay give you glass conditions early in the morning.
