Set off on a unique experience in the heart of the Basque Country.
Departing from Saint-Jean-de-Luz, this small-group coastal escape takes you to Hondarribia (Fontarabie) — the first Spanish port accessible by sea.
As we cruise along the coast, you’ll be amazed by the stunning scenery of the Basque Corniche, the hidden bay of Loya, and the iconic Deux Jumeaux rocks, watched over by the Château d’Abbadia.
Aboard our boat, you’ll explore preserved natural sites steeped in history — off the beaten path.
Hondarribia welcomes you with its authentic charm, colorful houses, and picturesque fishing port.
We'll also sail along the Cape Higuer and Los Frailes Bay, where, on sunny days, a swimming stop lets you enjoy the crystal-clear waters in a breathtaking natural setting.
A perfect blend of nature, culture, and seaside pleasure, this outing promises a journey full of discovery and emotion.

We will follow the Basque Corniche, a protected natural area located between Hendaye and Ciboure.

5.00Fantastic beautiful canal cruise! It was a very nice experience to see the coast from the sea. Good explanation received from our skipper (Antoine) who was also very helpful. He spoke both French and English and took extensive time to talk to everyone and answer questions. Proud of its beautiful Basque Country. We are super happy that we made this trip.

Rip roaring ride through the waves 😍

5.00From the moment we got on board and left the harbour it was a rip roaring ride. If you love the thrill of zipping through the water while looking at some wonderful coastline this is the trip for you. However if you're a bit prone to seasickness perhaps avoid this trip. For my hubby and I (in our sixties) we loved every minute.
