Schooner boats are built in wood, characterized by having high masts 2 and a long shank in front. Conceptually they are able to navigate with candles but all have diesel engines. Their sizes vary widely, from small to blending from 15 to 40 passengers, of average size, with capacity from 40 to 100 passengers and the large ones for over 100 passengers, which can be equipped with two engines, safer for navigation at sea, that is, outside the boundaries of geographical bays.

Schooners are very vessels used for tourism work across the Bay of Ilha Grande and the whole Brazilian coast. As a curiosity, we mention that the cradle of the schooner is a place called Cajaíba - Valencia - BA.
