A Spa Day on the Bay
A hot tub on board gives an ordinary day on the water the feel of a spa on the bay. Feeling Yachty arranges vessels with built-in Jacuzzis, sunset routes and licensed captains. Each tub takes 4 to 8 guests at once, so the group soaks in turns. The typical charter lasts 4 hours and leaves at golden hour. Winter weather in Rio is mild, and between June and August a hot tub charter is a good choice for the off season.

Why a Hot Tub Yacht
The tub is a built-in feature that most boats lack. It becomes the focal point for photos, sunset moments and unhurried time with the group. Fills are fresh water, and heating and filtration are the captain's job. Swimwear is required, and spare towels are kept on board. Each tub fits 4 to 8 guests.

Hot Tub Yacht Rentals in Rio de Janeiro: questions
How much is a hot tub yacht?
The smaller hot tub yachts begin at about $500 (R$2,550) per hour, and a 4-hour minimum applies. For mid-size yachts, expect $1,000 (R$5,100) to $1,200 (R$6,100) per hour. The captain, fuel and dock fees are part of the price.
How many people fit in the hot tub?
The usual tub takes 4 to 8 guests at a time. On bigger yachts, the larger rooftop tubs seat 8 to 10. Guests tend to rotate so that everybody has a turn during the trip.
Can we use the hot tub while the boat is moving?
Sometimes. The decision rests with the captain and depends on sea state and wave height. On a calm day in the bay, the tub can stay open underway. Out in open water or in heavy chop, use is paused until the boat is at anchor.
Is the water hot or cold?
Hot. Marine safety limits allow up to 102°F. The tub is warmed by the captain ahead of boarding, so it is ready as you step on.
Saltwater or freshwater fill?
Fresh water fills the majority of tubs, while a couple of the larger yachts use saltwater. You will find the fill type stated clearly in the listing. Fresh water is the more common choice because it is more comfortable and kinder to skin.
Do we need to bring towels?
No. Every hot tub charter supplies towels. You bring your own swimwear, sandals and a change of clothes. Robes are stocked on some boats as well.
Is alcohol allowed in the tub?
Yes, for guests aged 18 and over. Glass is restricted on most boats, so plastic flutes and tumblers are provided. If a guest looks unsteady near the tub, the captain may pause the drinks.
When is the best season for a hot tub yacht?
The strongest season is June through August, when cool evenings make the tub the center of the trip. Sunset bookings remain popular all year for proposals and bachelorettes.
