The notorious Bay of Biscay!
Get ready for an exhilarating sailing adventure from Brest to Vigo as we navigate the breathtaking coastline of the Bay of Biscay. Renowned for its dramatic landscapes and rich maritime history, this journey offers a perfect blend of coastal charm and vibrant cultural experiences.

Each stop along the way will allow us to immerse ourselves in the unique culture, traditions, and history of the region.
Following the coastline also ensures a safer route given the current orca activity around Portugal and Spain. This allows us to stay closer to shore, providing peace of mind while we enjoy the stunning views and the thrill of sailing.
