Monday, October 21, 2013 Nightlife Guide
Monday’s Rio Nightlife Pick – Monday nights welcome an exciting venture for those who love the nightlife and the beauty of Rio de Janeiro. Rio Boat Club is the only weekly boat party that sets sail from Marina da Glória and takes partygoers across the Guanabara Bay. Set on the two-floor Mozart Boat, visitors and locals get a taste of Rio on the high seas.
The boat holds up to 150 passengers and literally transforms into a floating nightclub equipped with a full bar, bathrooms, sound system, and lighting. DJ Andrew Gracie is the resident DJ, playing house, disco, and funk. There is plenty of room to dance, just be sure you bring your sea legs.
