Experience the magic of a pure sky. Embark on a mythical Galician deep-sea sailboat with more than 40 Atlantic crossings, setting sail on a route of only 24 hours heading west, away from light pollution, where the stars shine again as before.

What is astrotourism? Astrotourism is a form of sustainable and responsible tourism that combines observation of the night sky, outreach and leisure activities related to astronomy.

The best destination for stargazing is where there is no light pollution. We will search for this “Nemo Point” 100 km from the coast on an adventure sailing that includes deep-sea navigation, estimation and astronomical navigation with the use of sextant and comparison with the most modern navigation systems. All this in an informative and entertaining way as an introduction to how the stars were navigated in ancient times.

Your adventure on the high seas:

• Sustainable deep-sea sailboat: powered by wind and clean energy.

• Comfortable and environmentally friendly cabins

• Sailing to international waters, where the night sky is immaculate.

• Guided astronomical observation with expert explanations and introduction to astronomical navigation and the sextant.

• On-board cuisine with local products with low environmental impact.

    Fantastic! In general, an instructor is expected to have knowledge and to be able to transmit it. With him, in addition to all this, it is worth appreciating the passion with which he does it and his constant emphasis on Safety.
