Seven WeBoat boats take 20 to 22 people, all leaving from Marina da Glória. On Route 2 (Praia Vermelha), the price for 20 people ranges from R$ 4,100 (WeBoat Rio Star 50 on a weekday) to R$ 8,100 (WeBoat 600, extra-person charge included).

Which boats take 20 people?
| Boat | Type | Takes up to | Extra-person charge | Route 2 for 20 people |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| WeBoat Rio Star 50 | own | 22 people | none | R$ 4,100 / R$ 4,500 |
| WeBoat Mares 50 | own | 22 people | none | R$ 4,400 / R$ 4,900 |
| WeBoat 400 | partner | 22 people | R$ 150 per person from the 17th | R$ 4,600 |
| WeBoat Senna 50 | partner | 20 people | R$ 300 per person from the 19th | R$ 7,100 |
| Tecnomarine 50 | partner | 20 people | none | R$ 7,500 |

| WeBoat 600 | partner | 22 people | R$ 300 per person from the 19th | R$ 8,100 |
For WeBoat’s own boats, the first price is the promotional price and the second is the regular price. For partner boats, the price already includes the extra-person charge for a group of 20: R$ 4,000 plus 4 × R$ 150 on the WeBoat 400; R$ 6,500 plus 2 × R$ 300 on the Senna 50; R$ 7,500 plus 2 × R$ 300 on the WeBoat 600. Partner boat pages are in Portuguese.
For groups of up to 18, there are also the WeBoat 420 (own, with a flybridge), the WeBoat Ibiza 45 and the Intermares 50. The Schaefer 72 Fly yacht also takes 20 people, on a 6-hour shift, from R$ 24,000.
Why is the Rio Star 50 usually the first choice?
Because it costs the least for 20 to 22 people and has no extra-person charge. With 20 people on Route 2 on a weekday, it comes to R$ 205 per person. It also has room for staff: it takes 22 guests and up to 24 people on board counting a bartender, grill master, DJ or photographer.
The Mares 50 takes the same 22 guests, up to 23 on board with staff, and it is the only one of WeBoat’s six own boats with air conditioning, for a R$ 600 generator fee.
What if the group wants an open bar?
The Premium Open Bar bartender takes one seat on board. On most boats in this list that changes nothing with 20 guests. On the WeBoat Senna 50 and the Tecnomarine 50, which take 20 in total, the limit with an open bar becomes 19 guests plus the bartender.
Worked example: 20 people, Saturday, with open bar
