Fishing Raptor highlights Brazil’s nautical sports boom and recommends spots like Paraty, Ilhabela and Florianópolis for versatile boats and family fun.
Summer fuels water sports
Heat and sea drive activities like wakeboard, diving and sport fishing across Brazil. Spots with marinas and sheltered waters draw thrill-seekers and families.
Fernando Assinato, CEO of Fishing Raptor, notes rising demand for versatile vessels. This Brazilian brand, over 30 years old with 3,000 boats worldwide, offers 26- to 51-foot models.
Models for sport and comfort
The Fishing 310 Saint Tropez features unsinkable deep-V hull, twin outboard motors, bow sunpad and enclosed cabin bathroom. It balances performance and ease for newcomers.
