Sailing Through the World's Largest Atlantic Rainforest! — Sailing Yabá

This week, I sail through one of Brazil's best-kept secrets: the Varadouro Channel, a narrow waterway winding through the world's largest continuous stretch of Atlantic Rainforest. Together with two friends, we navigate shallow, uncharted channels, sandbanks, mangroves, and remote caiçara villages on one of the most beautiful and unique passages we've ever sailed. With dolphins, incredible wildlife, and breathtaking drone footage around every corner, this journey quickly became one of our favourites. If you enjoy sailing, wooden boats, off-grid adventures, Brazil travel, and exploring places few people ever visit, this episode is for you.

But this wasn’t always our life. In 2020, we found Yabá abandoned, sinking, and on the verge of being lost forever. We had no experience in boatbuilding, only a wild dream and the determination to make it happen. We worked relentlessly, learning from the best local shipwrights and pouring everything we had into this rebuild. It took four years of sweat, setbacks, and unwavering commitment, but today, Yabá is more than just a boat, she’s our home, our biggest adventure, and the proof that crazy dreams can come true. Now, we’re sailing into the unknown, exploring remote islands, embracing the unpredictable and sharing the highs, the lows, and everything in between.
