Niteroi : Profile

Clearance

Be sure to clear out of Rio and into Niterói correctly when moving accross the Bay.

Docking

Niterói is separated from Rio by the Guanabara Bay. It is a 20 minute ferry ride across the bay to the city.

The marinas here are generally less expensive and less crowded.

Yacht Clubs

Located on the eastern side of the Rio's vast estuary, the yacht club at Niteroi welcomes visitors. A good option if not needing to be close to downtown Rio: cheaper, safer and calmer than the Royal Yacht Club or Marina Gloria. There are good repair facilities, chandlery and fuel on the club dock.
