Two cabins for rent, one with private bathroom
The boat is usually anchored in Paraty bay, 2 minutes by motorised dinghy (15 hp) from the Historical Center .
The boat is rented when I'm staying anchored in Paraty bay, it is used like a floating home
But if guests are interested I can sail with them too
