Adventure Factor: 1/5
Spend a laidback week cruising the beautiful Galician coast out of Vigo! Explore charming fishing villages, beaches, and experience the best of Spanish maritime culture.
This is a relaxing one-week cruise departing from and returning to the port city of Vigo in northwestern Spain. You'll have the opportunity to go island-hopping, drop anchor in secluded coves, and soak up the Galician way of life on the water.
No major offshore passages are planned - just scenic coastal cruising and stopping wherever looks inviting along the Rías of Galicia. Enjoy tapas, wine, and sunset BBQs in historic harbors. This is a perfect trip for sailors of all experience levels looking for a casual Spanish summer cruise.
Hi I'm Sarah, a 3rd year PhD student and the current commodore of CUYC. This will be my 1st summer programme trip as skipper and my 3rd summer programme week with CUYC. Last summer I crossed the North Sea on Skylark's return journey from Norway and I also participated in CUYC's previous summer programme in the Balearics 2022. Having learnt to sail yachts with CUYC myself, I look forward to introducing new members to sailing.
I’m Eve a 2nd year vet student at Robinson. I sailed for the first time ever for my DofE expedition and have never looked back! I signed up to be a part of the club as soon as I could, and I try to get out on the water as often as vet med allows me to. Very excited to be a first mate for the Summer Programme this year and can’t wait to meet you all :)
Apart from the trip cost you pay when you sign up, there will also be expenses for food, marinas and diesal during the week. These will be sorted out on the trip via the Splitwise app, and usually come around to £100. You must also pay for your own transport to and from the handover marina.
You will need to arrange transport to and from the marina. We will try to coordinate this as a crew together in advance.
