Rio de Janeiro - Docking
There are several anchorages and marinas in Rio de Janeiro, one of the most conveniently situated being Marina da Gloria close to Rio’s smaller airport. The marina is very crowded with local boats, but space is usually found for visitors, although facilities are limited and prices very high.
Another option is to anchor off the Royal or “Botafogo” YC. They make a charge for use of their moorings and facilities.
Alternatively, mooring at Niteroi on the eastern side of this large harbor is possibly a cheaper and safer option.

Rio June 2016
Gloria Marina charges US$ 200/day for 43 ft. Anchor off and take the dinghy to ICRJ to ask… they will tell you visitors are NOT welcome, please leave.
Clearing in proved impossible: Policia Federal downtown says that they do not do that, one must go to the international airport 30 km. away. At the airport, they say they don’t clear in sailors.
The Capitania dos Portos is totally unreachable because of city reconstruction. Find the antique submarine and you are there. Good luck!
