Following recent enquiries, we have now extended our amazon boat trips to non-residents.  So if you are looking for a customised excursion  on the River Negro, River Solimões or River Amazonas with the personal attention of your own bi-lingual guide,  please see below and/or contact us for further details. The Shamrock is docked on the Rio Tarumã, to the west of the city (near the hotel Tropical), and we can arrange pick-ups and drop-offs to/from anywhere in the city or along the river

The Shamrock is a covered 6m all-aluminium speedboat which will accommodate 4 passengers comfortably for day-trips. The boat has a cruising range of approximately 200km per day (depending on weather).  It will also sleep two adults, but not with any degree of comfort(!) - for this reason our longer trips generally involve camping or making use of local towns en route.

We have standard charges for local excursions (Meeting of the Waters, Lago Janauari, Rubber Museum, Rio Negro beaches etc) and apply an engine-hour charge for customised short trips. We are also happy to quote for longer trips on a per-day or whole-trip basis, and this can be inclusive or exclusive of fuel, food, accommodation etc., as you wish. 

The Shamrock complies with all local port regulations and carries all necessary safety and first-aid equipment. The skipper has over 300 hours experience operating in the Amazon and is qualified through the UK Royal Yachting Association's International Certificate scheme. 

If you need a larger boat, take a look at the page introducing the Naice I, which is due to be ready at the end of 2010 - we are now taking enquiries for this!
