Description

Buzios cruise port is located in the Rio de Janeiro State. The city of Rio de Janeiro is 110 miles away. The city is also known like Armação dos Búzios and often is nicknamed the ”Brazil’s St Tropez” because of its famous amazing beaches.  Buzios cruise port offers clear, calm water of the west coast, the east coast are great for water sports.

Buzios cruise port used to be a point for supplies of the French pirates. It gained its popularity in the 1960 when Armação de Búzios was visited by the famous Brigitte Bardot. The French actress has her own sculpture in the city – Orla Bardot. It is real-size and was done by Christina Motta, plastic artist. Since then, Buzios cruise port quickly grew its popularity.

There are moorings available from ICAB which are registered with the Maritime Authorities and are checked twice yearly by professional divers.

There are various anchorages along the shores of the town. The best anchorage is oposite the last house in the village, in the SW corner of the bay. In northerly winds, there is adequate protection to the north of the yacht club, on the southern side of the peninsular, but you are more exposed to the constant SE swell. There is more room to anchor in the other near-by bays, but they are less protected from the east.

Beware of the many, insufficiently marked, local fishing devices.
