Julio Verne Náutica

A sailing school and charter company at the Monte Real Yacht Club in Baiona: a private sailing boat or catamaran to the Cíes Islands with a skipper accredited as a National Park guide.

Who they are

Julio Verne Náutica is a sailing school approved by the Xunta de Galicia for recreational qualifications and a charter company. Its fleet is moored at the Monte Real Yacht Club in Baiona, at the foot of the Monterreal fortress. It appears on the list of companies that the Atlantic Islands National Park publishes for group visits to the Cíes.

How they work

Its trips to the Cíes are private: the boat is for your group. There is a catamaran for eleven people at most and a sailing boat for nine, and an inflatable for small groups. The skipper is accredited as a National Park guide. It sails all year by advance booking; in winter, from 10:00 to 14:00, and in summer also in the afternoon, from 16:00 to 20:00.

What is included

The private boat, fuel, the skipper and the tender to land at the island's jetty. Food is not included. If the weather forces a change of day, the excursion is moved to another date at no cost, in what the company calls rain insurance. Prices depend on the boat and the season and are on its website.

What they run

The Geocalia activities run by Julio Verne Náutica, with the prices and terms they publish.
