Price · Ilhabela
A speedboat rental ad in Ilhabela varies by boat, date and route — and doesn't confirm on its own what's included. In a Voguer listing checked on September 7, 2026, the Focker 255 IB, Cobra 32 I and Oceanic 36 IB were advertised at R$2,980, R$3,490 and R$5,650 per day; see what still needs confirming before you book.

Departure point and route affect the price
A route that stays within the channel and one that heads to beaches only reachable by sea can involve very different distances and conditions. Ask which area the price covers and how route adjustments are handled.
If the trip involves Castelhanos, also compare the actual product on offer. Ilhabela's city hall lists both land and sea access options; the existence of a sea route doesn't mean every speedboat rental includes it.
How to check fuel
Ask the quote to state whether fuel is included for the route, whether there's a limit, or whether the price will be calculated by consumption. In that last case, understand how it's measured and settled.
Don't count every hour on board as engine time. Swimming, meals and rest can take up a meaningful part of the period. To compare two quotes, use the same route and the same intended duration.
Do the math with your confirmed group
A base price of R$3,490 split among ten paying guests works out to R$349 per person. If eight paying guests split the same amount, it's R$436.25 each. This is a math example based on one ad, before unconfirmed expenses, with no guaranteed rate for your date.
The boat's capacity doesn't determine how many people should split the cost. Report every passenger and note the number of paying guests based on how your group is organized.
Add the cost of getting to the boarding point
If you're staying on the mainland, check whether the trip departs from São Sebastião or from Ilhabela. An extra land or ferry crossing can change your day's planning, even if it doesn't show up in the boat's price.
Factor in transport, parking where it applies, and access time. The cheapest option on screen can be less convenient if the departure point doesn't match your accommodation.
Compare comfort and services using the same criteria
Look at seating, shade, a bathroom and food setup. Confirm what the crew provides and which items are optional. If your group just wants a short outing, you may not need the same services as someone planning to stay out all day.
When requesting a quote, send the date, group size, departure area and priority. Ask for the total cost of the experience and an alternative route if you want to adjust your budget with clarity.
Frequently asked questions
What's the minimum price for a speedboat in Ilhabela?
This guide shows examples, not the minimum across the whole market. Check availability for your date, duration and group.
Does the price include a trip to Bonete or Castelhanos?
Only if the route is spelled out in the quote. Confirm the area covered and the operating conditions.
Do I need to pay for the crossing to the island separately?
It depends on your accommodation and boarding point. Confirm whether any transfer is included and arrange the rest separately.
