Terralmar

Tourist boats from the Ribadeo marina to As Catedrais beach and along the ría, and licence-free launches; it also operates in Viveiro.

Who they are

Terralmar is a tourist-boat company in the Lugo Mariña with two bases: the Porcillán quay, in the Ribadeo marina, and the Viveiro marina. At Ribadeo it runs two passenger trips: one to As Catedrais beach by sea and another, shorter, along the inside of the Eo ría. It also hires out launches that need no licence. Its website lists registration number TA-341-AS.

What they do in Ribadeo

The boat to As Catedrais sails in twelve-seat launches, passes in front of the Illa Pancha lighthouse and Rinlo and reaches the beach's arches seen from the water. It lasts about an hour and a quarter, with six published departures a day: 10:00, 11:30, 13:00, 15:30, 17:00 and 18:30. It costs €30 for adults and €20 for ages 3 to 10; under-3s may not board.

The ría trip leaves on the boat Terralmar, for up to 24 passengers, and recalls the passenger launches that used to link the villages on the two banks. It is 30 minutes for €7 per person, with departures at 11:00 and 15:30 and others depending on the day; it is for all ages.

The hire launches have a 15 hp motor and safety equipment, and move around the inside of the ría. The website advertises them from €60.
