Navigate through the history and beauty of the Camino de Santiago like never before aboard our boats, which will take you along the magical Traslatio Route, the heart of the Spiritual Variant of the Portuguese Way.
We don’t just offer a transfer service, it’s your passport to a journey through the very essence of Galicia. Discover the maritime stretch that offers an unrivalled perspective of the legendary pilgrimage route, full of unforgettable landscapes and captivating narratives.
Imagine the river breeze caressing your face as you sail through the same waters that, according to tradition, carried the Apostle Santiago to his final resting place. Each wave reflects a story, each turn of the river reveals a secret from the past.
Our boats, with capacity for 12 people, offer an intimate and personalized experience. Accompanied by an expert guide, you will learn about the rich maritime culture of Galicia, observe up close the art of mussel farming and immerse yourself in the legends of Viking ships and the defense towers that still watch over Catoira.

It was an incredible experience
It was an amazing experience. The captain stopped to tell us about the crosses. Much better than the big tourist boat!

Very entertaining, educational
Very entertaining, educational, you learn a lot and the service is incredible. They also allowed us to go with a dog.

A marvel
We have done this route (Vilanova- Pontecesures) twice, the first time with another company, and I have to say that the difference is huge: you get a little cold, since the boat is open, but the service is much more personalized, stopping and explaining at each point of interest, wonderful. Any service we require in the area, we will hire them without a doubt.

An unforgettable experience
It was an unforgettable experience. During the transfer, the skipper gave us some very interesting information about mussel farming. We saw 11 stone crosses (one of which cannot be seen), a Viking tower and a reproduction of a Viking ship. We were also lucky enough to see dolphins and different types of birds. The skipper made the trip very pleasant. He stopped the boat at points of interest and gave us information in Spanish and English. I recommend this company 100%.
