Ring in the New Year from the water with a private Réveillon yacht charter in Rio. Anchor off Copacabana, watch the fireworks over the beach, and toast at midnight with champagne in hand. Licensed captains handle the route and the return dock timing. Most charters run 6 PM to 1 AM with a 5 to 8 hour minimum. Limited dates available.
The Copacabana Réveillon is the world's biggest New Year's Eve party — and the best seats are on the water. Roughly two million people pack the sand while fireworks barges launch the midnight show offshore. A private yacht puts your group in the bay at anchor with an unblocked view of the beach and the skyline. Your captain picks the anchorage, times the countdown, and plans the return to beat the post-fireworks dock rush.
Everything your group needs for a champagne-tower countdown on the deck.
Champagne wall with flutes set for the full guest list
Gold and silver decor including balloon arch and table runners
Countdown clock projected on the deck for the final minute
Sparklers and cold-spark machines for the midnight moment
Vetted onboard DJ for the last 3 hours of the trip

Real reviews from guests who celebrated Réveillon on a Book My Boat charter.
“Watching the Copacabana fireworks from the deck at midnight was unreal. Champagne tower, sparklers, and a clear view of the whole beach show. We booked early and it was worth every cent.”
“The captain timed everything perfectly. Sunset past Sugarloaf, dinner on deck, and we anchored right in front of the fireworks barges. The kids were asleep by the time we docked.”
“Our DJ kept the energy up until 1 AM and the champagne wall was a huge hit with the group. Best New Year's Eve we've ever had.”
Most NYE charters run $1,500 (R$7,600) to $5,000 (R$25,500) per hour at the standard tier. Mega yachts for big groups run $5,000 (R$25,500) to $15,000 (R$76,000) per hour. NYE pricing reflects peak demand and a 5 to 8 hour minimum. Champagne and decor packages are extra.
Standard charters cap at 12 guests plus crew under Brazilian Navy rules. Inspected passenger vessels carry 49 or more. We size the boat to your guest list during booking.
Boats anchor about 500 to 1,000 yards off the fireworks barges. Closer angles are roped off by the Brazilian Navy for safety. The view from anchor is direct and unblocked.
Most charters return to dock between 12:30 and 1:30 AM. Some marinas close their gates at 2 AM so timing matters. Your captain plans the return path to avoid the post-fireworks dock traffic.
Some packages include a champagne wall and flutes. Others bill it separately. The decor and beverage tier is set at booking. Glass restrictions vary by boat.
Yes. Most yachts hold a small DJ setup. We also offer a vetted onboard DJ as an add-on. Wattage limits apply to protect the boat speakers and the marina noise rules.
Light rain does not cancel. Storms, high winds, and Capitania dos Portos advisories trigger a reschedule or refund per the listing policy. NYE has limited reschedule dates so we plan a rain backup at booking.
Lock NYE dates by September. The best yachts sell out by October. December bookings are tight and limited to leftover inventory.
