Boat charter in Brazil · Lagoon 51 in Paraty (RJ) / Marina Porto Imperial — “ZIG” — (2024)

From Paraty's Marina Porto Imperial, ZIG opens up a week of effortless exploration along Brazil's Rio de Janeiro coast. This 2024 Lagoon 51 was built for groups and families who want to live well at sea without fuss: four cabins with en-suite bathrooms mean everyone has privacy and space, while the saloon and cockpit keep the group connected when you want to gather. Up on deck, the wide trampolines and roomy foredeck invite you to stretch out, watch the coastline unfold, or simply drift at anchor without the rock and sway of a monohull. The twin hulls do the real work. They sit shallow enough to reach the quiet bays and beach anchorages that single-hulled boats cannot, while holding ZIG steady as a platform when you drop anchor for the day. The 15-metre beam spreads the living space so four couples or a family of eight each get their own cabin with a proper shower, not a cupboard. The saloon and flybridge work as separate social zones—move between them as the mood and weather shift. With a professional crew handling navigation and hospitality, you arrive at each morning's destination relaxed, ready to swim, paddle, or simply sit with a coffee. ZIG's shallow draft and robust construction make the smaller islands, hidden coves, and protected waters of the Paraty region genuinely accessible. A week aboard means real ease: somewhere to sleep well, room to gather, and a boat that goes where the guidebooks say you cannot.
