Albatros V
Who they are
The Albatros V began in 2001 as a passenger boat on the Ribadeo ría, under Francisco Soto; in 2019 the current team took it over. It is an 11-metre vessel with capacity for 36 passengers, with a small toilet on board, and has a second boat for groups of up to 72 people. It boards at three ports on the ría: the Ribadeo marina and, on the Asturian bank, Figueras and Castropol.
What they do
The trip on the ría lasts 30 minutes and costs €7 per person. It passes O Cargadoiro, the San Damián fort, the Bridge of the Saints, the Trenor palace and the Gondán shipyard, and explains the oyster-farming tables of the ría. It runs in the morning from 11:00 to 13:30 and in the afternoon from 16:00 to 19:00, in a window in which the boat leaves as it fills, with a maximum wait of about 30 minutes.
On land they run the Ribadeo tourist train: 50 minutes from the park next to the Town Hall and the Torre dos Moreno, along the port and the seafront promenade to the Illa Pancha lighthouse, with a photo stop, and back along Calle San Roque. It costs €7 for adults and €4 for ages 4 to 12; up to age 3 it is free. They also hire electric bikes at their office in the Porcillán port, from €30 for two hours to €70 for the day. With Nuevo Agamar they sell a speedboat to As Catedrais from the marina, an hour and a quarter, and a Catedrales pack combining the launch, two hours of bike and the ría trip for €50.
