How Floripa Days works
Last updated: October 22, 2026
1. Where tours come from
We gather public information published by the operators themselves (websites, catalogs and social media) and data sent by partners. We review and standardize everything before publishing: the same names for the same items, prices always in reais and for the whole tour.
2. The minimum to be listed
To appear in the lists, search and Google, a tour needs at least a price, capacity (how many people) and duration. That's the minimum to compare one tour with another. The exception is Ilha do Campeche: each person buys their own spot and the limit is the island's, so price and duration are enough there. When any of these is missing, the tour is left out of the lists but stays on the operator's page, and comes back as soon as the information is completed.
3. Departures in Florianópolis only
We list tours departing from Santa Catarina Island and mainland Florianópolis. Tours departing from other cities are left out.
4. One boat per tour
Each tour is a specific boat, with its own capacity and price. Generic fleet listings that don't say which boat are left out until each boat is detailed (except for Gold Seal operators).
5. Order of results
Gold Seal operators appear first when they match your search; then tours go from lowest to highest price. Unavailable tours appear last. With a date selected, the order uses the price for that date's season.
6. What every tour shows
Every boat shows skipper, fuel and life jackets as included; the jet ski, life jacket and fuel to be arranged (on a ride with a pilot, the pilot is included); and shared boat tours (pirate ship and Ilha do Campeche), life jacket and the price per person. Prices always appear as "Estimated price"; the How we calculate prices page explains seasons and estimates. When the boarding marina has a weekly closing day, the page shows it and that day can't be chosen.
7. Photos
We only publish boat photos with the operator's permission or under a license that allows it; some boats appear with an AI-generated image marked "Illustrative image". Without the boat's own photo, we show an image of a destination on the route: a photo credited per its license, or an AI-generated image marked "Illustrative image", which is not a photo of the place.
8. Who answers on WhatsApp
The WhatsApp button reaches the tour operator or a seller authorized by them, such as an agency. On Ilha do Campeche, it can also be an operator accredited by the city, shown with the "Authorized reseller" badge. The operator remains responsible for the tour, and Floripa Days receives no commission or payment from anyone.
9. Updates and corrections
Data is reviewed periodically and may change without notice. If you're an operator and want to correct information or complete your tour, use the Become a partner page.
