Ilha do Francês & Mole Beach: Luxury Private Yacht Half-Day

Board a private luxury yacht for a curated coastal voyage past Mole Beach — the darling of Florianópolis's beautiful people — and on to the glassy cove of Ilha do Francês, with champagne, gourmet bites, and snorkelling in technicolour shallows.

What to expect

Step aboard your private crewed yacht at the Florianópolis marina and sail northward along the island's breathtaking eastern coast. Your captain anchors off Mole Beach — a crescent of white sand backed by the Morro das Aranhas headland and beloved by Florianópolis's sophisticates — for swimming and a champagne toast on deck. The yacht then glides to the sheltered cove of Ilha do Francês, where a snorkel in the gin-clear water reveals vivid reef life just below the surface. A curated charcuterie and seafood spread, along with chilled prosecco and tropical juices, is served as you anchor in the cove. The return sail traces the golden-hour coastline at a leisurely pace.
