In our region, few things are as special as sailing on the Bilbao Estuary. We’ll begin our journey by sailing through the Abra of Bilbao. Just after leaving the Getxo Kaia harbor entrance, we’ll see the majestic villas and palaces that populate the Neguri district, as well as the Zugazarte promenade. We’ll hoist the sails and make a few tacks to enjoy the quiet pleasure of sailing before heading up the Bilbao Estuary.
On this journey full of contrasts, we will first encounter the Iron Pier of Portugalete and the fabulous Vizcaya Bridge. This majestic structure was designed by Alberto Palacios and built by one of the most accomplished students of the French architect Gustave Eiffel, famous worldwide for the tower that bears his name.
Sailing along the Bilbao Estuary is a unique experience, as it hides corners where vestiges of our industrial architecture can still be seen. Shipyards. Old factories, like the Zorroza workshops at the mouth of the Cadagua River. The “Flour Mill” or the mouth of the Galindo River. All of them evoke a not-so-distant past and make us imagine the future that already appears on the bow, modern and promising.
To celebrate, we’ll uncork some delicious txakoli produced nearby. We’ll also offer a wine from the Rioja Alavesa region , which we’ll pair with some delicate salted anchovies from Bermeo and some excellent piquillo peppers .
Furthermore, on a proper Basque boat, you’ll find bonito tuna and Idiazabal cheese with local walnuts, as well as a few other surprises from our delicate local cuisine. After dessert, we’ll also have a coffee , and if you’d like, pair it with a sloe liqueur, the renowned patxaran . Then you’ll have fully enjoyed a trip down the estuary that takes you back to the Getxo Kaia Marina .
There we can continue to enjoy the municipality.
**If the minimum of 7 people is not reached, the boat will be reserved at the minimum group price.
NOTE : Rates are valid from October 1st to April 31st. For prices for the period from May 1st to September 30th, please contact us by phone or email.
