History of Biotur

 

THE  Biotur Maritime Transport  it has existed since 1972, when founder Lourival Vieira de Brito returned to Vila de Gamboa do Morro, after some time working in Salvador.​  That's when he opened a bar and bought his first boat. At first, the company provided daily transport for merchants from Gamboa to the city of Valença.

Over the years, Lourival has conquered customers with a differentiated service, sometimes transporting just one passenger, if necessary, something that other companies did not do. Thus, the business ended up growing and other vessels were acquired, until in 1987, a new vessel was ready: the “Brisa Triônica I” and arrived to revolutionize maritime transport in the region and serve tourists who were beginning to discover the beauties of Morro from Sao Paulo.

 

The boat, with a capacity for 300 passengers, also carried a good amount of commercial cargo, contributing to the region's development.​  Thus, Morro de São Paulo, increasingly attracting tourists, made the demand for transport grow and in 1989 it was necessary to inaugurate the “Brisa Triônica II” with capacity for 115 passengers.

 

Over time, new companies emerged with similar vessels, until again, Lourival decided to innovate in the sector by introducing the  catamaran  on route. The catamaran is the ideal vessel for crossings in the open sea, providing greater speed and safety, as it offers more stability thanks to the two canoes at its ends.

 

AND  so, in 1996, he decided to have the Gamboa do Morro catamaran built, which took three years to complete. In that same year, the company Biotur, Biônica Transporte e Turismo Marítimo Ltda., was legally constituted, replacing the original company after making the transition of all its employees.​  The Gamboa do Morro catamaran continued to lead the crossing until 2002, when a new catamaran of the company entered into service: the “Bionics of Tinharé” and later the “Morro de São Paulo”.

 

Today, Biotur is one of the main tourism companies on the island, offering trips with Biotur catamarans and tours with safety and comfort for tourists who want to know and  to arrive well in Morro de São Paulo .
