Fernando September of 2022

Camino de Santiago by sea from Vigo

Good organization, Skipper, boat, food, etc.

It's not the fault of the organizer, but unpresentable taxi driver

Yolanda July of 2025

Camino de Santiago by sea from Vigo

Great in every way, the team is very attentive and the skipper Miguel, an excellent professional, as was evident on a difficult journey since we had the wind against us and yet we enjoyed it a lot. We will repeat and recommend it to each other...

Carlos July of 2020

Navigate the Camino De Santiago from Santander

The proposal is phenomenal: coastal navigation through the Cantabrian Sea and walking a stretch of the Camino de Santiago that is as beautiful as it is rarely traveled. The reality is even better. Jesús is an excellent sailor who cares about teaching those who are interested and making the journey pleasant to less nautical passengers. Great person, kind and loving. The boat is a good sailboat in an excellent state of maintenance, comfortable and perfect for demanding seas. In short, I would embark tomorrow again.

Did you know that the Camino de Santiago by boat is consolidated as a pilgrim route?

A new Jacobean itinerary “Sail the way” has been created through several Cantabrian marinas, all of them members of the North Marinas association, given that it has the approval of the Archbishop of Santiago. The reason is to emulate the trip of the Saint, whose remains, according to tradition, arrived from Palestine sailing to Iria Flavia.
Have you ever wondered which is the most original way of Santiago?

The idea of doing the Camino de Santiago under sail awakens the adventurous spirit of young and old crew members. If you like to sail and want to do the Camino de Santiago this is the perfect possibility for you.
How to make the Camino de Santiago along the Coast?

The stages of this tour from East to West organized by the Northmarinas network are Hondarribia - Bermeo - Santander - Gijón - Viveiro - Cedeira and A Coruña. The last stage, between Monte do Gozo and Santiago de Compostela, is done on foot to walk as a good pilgrim. To obtain the Compostela, official diploma issued by the Cathedral of Santiago that certifies the completion of the pilgrimage, it is necessary to complete at least 100 nautical miles and make a minimum of 10 kilometers on foot.

For those lovers of the sea and sailing, it is very good news as it can open the possibilities of making the road by boat, being able to feel the pleasure of sailing with a wonderful tour full of points of interest.

What do you think about this possibility of doing the Camino de Santiago Santiago by boat?
Is it possible to do the Camino de Santiago by sailboat?

Yes. Sailing the Camino de Santiago is recognized as a form of the Camino, provided it meets the requirements established for the Maritime-River Route of the Arousa Sea and Ulla River. The sailing portion ends at one of the authorized ports, and the final kilometers to the Cathedral of Santiago are covered on foot.

This combination makes the journey a very different experience from the traditional Camino: for several days you will sail between islands, fishing villages and estuaries before completing your arrival in Compostela.
What is a Camino de Santiago journey by sea like?

The voyages typically last 5 to 7 days, depending on the itinerary and departure port. Aboard a sailboat, you'll share the experience with a skipper and a small crew, sailing through some of Galicia's most spectacular landscapes. A typical itinerary includes stops in places like Vigo, the Cíes Islands, Combarro, Sanxenxo, O Grove, Cambados, and Padrón.

On the last day, you disembark to complete the final stretch on foot to Santiago de Compostela and obtain the Compostela certificate when you meet the requirements of the Camino.
What does a Camino de Santiago journey with Sailwiz include?
Sailwiz experiences are organized by professional skippers and sailing schools, so each trip may have slight variations. On most voyages you will find:
- Fully equipped sailboat.
- Professional skipper throughout the voyage.
- Accommodation in shared or double cabin.
- Navigation through the Rías Baixas.
- Voluntary participation in the maneuvers.
- Arrival at the Maritime Way of St. James.
Each experience description details the departure port, duration, available places, included materials, and travel conditions so you can compare before booking.
How much does it cost to do the Camino de Santiago by boat?

The price depends mainly on the trip's duration, the type of sailboat, and the season. At Sailwiz, you'll find shared sailing trips with a skipper where you reserve a berth, without needing to charter the entire boat. For example, we have sailing trips between €1,000 and €1,500 per person, and the duration is usually one week.

The great thing about Sailwiz is that, by booking individual cabins, you can enjoy the Camino de Santiago by sailboat at a much more affordable price than a private charter, and share the experience with other travelers passionate about the sea and sailing. Before booking, it's a good idea to check what each experience includes, as some incorporate specific services while others operate with a shared fund for sailing and living expenses. We currently have departures from Vigo, Santander, and Avilés.
Who can do the Camino de Santiago by sailboat?
You don't need any prior sailing experience. Most trips are designed for people who simply want to have a different experience and include a skipper who guides the entire voyage. It's an ideal option for:
- People who have already done the traditional Camino and are looking for a new way to experience it.
- Travelers who want to combine tourism and sailing.
- Lovers of the sea and sailboats.
- People who travel alone and want to share the experience with other crew members.
- Couples and small groups of friends.
If you are also interested in learning, many voyages allow you to participate in the maneuvers and learn the basic fundamentals of sailing.
