Itinerary

  1. Puente Colgante Vizcaya

    Passing by

    You’ll see it from the water and pass beneath one of the only five transporter bridges in the world. Built by a disciple of Eiffel, its structure recalls the famous Paris tower. It was created to connect both sides of the estuary when the port was still located in the city and large ships needed to pass underneath

  2. Acantilados de Azkorri

    Passing by

    These cliffs have a very special beauty, as they reveal a geological formation known as Flysch, where layers of different sediments are exposed, showing the folds created by tectonic plates.

  3. Playa de Arrigunaga

    Passing by

    One of the closest beaches to Bilbao, sheltered from the open sea and the northeasterly winds, it’s a beautiful spot to anchor, relax, and take a swim if you wish

  4. Stop 4

    Passing by

    Every experience will be unique. Depending on the sea conditions, we’ll choose one option or another. The focus is simply on enjoying the wind, the sea, and the special atmosphere that naturally unfolds on this small, fun, and truly unique sailboat.

    The trip also gives you the chance to explore Getxo, and just near the marina you’ll admire the impressive, grand mansions along the waterfront.

Pickup points

The experience can begin right in Bilbao city, becoming a relaxed and enjoyable tour along the waters of the estuary, finishing out at sea in the Abra Bay. If conditions allow, we can try some sailing. However, this option is more about cruising the river under motor than sailing.
