On April 5th 2018 we crossed the Panama Canal from the Caribbean towards the Pacific Ocean with the catamaran IPANEMA! It was the start of an amazing adventure to reach the most dreamed French Polynesia! After 2 months at sea and covering almost 4k nautical miles we reached Hiva Oa in the Marquesas Islands, one of the archipelagos of the French Polynesia, including a stop over in the stunning Galapagos islands on the way.

This is a short documentary about this crazy adventure! We were super lucky to have on board with us an awesome crew including the kick ass artist Fabio Nunes who was the brains behind this DOC! Thank you again for all involved, we could never have done this without you guys (Henrique Rehder, Caio Anteghini and Isis Vasconcelos).


We are a Brazilian couple and a clumsy Bull Terrier dog that decided to kick up everything, buy about and explore the world! We started our sailing trip in May 2015 in Croatia, back in Europe where we boat our boat, a 44ft Lagoon Catamaran which we named IPANEMA - a beach in Rio de Janeiro which used to be our home. Since then we have sailed the Mediterranean, we crossed the Atlantic Ocean, sailed around the Caribbean, sailed around the stunning San Blas islands in Panamá for a while and we have now just crossed the Pacific Ocean and we are exploring a paradise called the French Polynesia!
