Every night, the lights of the cities cover an authentic natural spectacle.
Luckily, on the Galician coast we have places like the Ensenada de Barra, where the stars shine in all their intensity.
There you will learn to orient yourself in the sea by looking at the sky, with the sextant and the astrolabe.
And while we wait for the first stars to appear, we will have time to have some steamed mussels with a glass of wine.
And long live the life of the sea!
You will be able to try a sextant and an astrolabe to orient yourself through the night sky, supported by several nautical charts and a planisphere.
You will be accompanied by professional skippers with many years of experience.
All of them are certified by the Starlight Foundation as astronomical monitors, and they will teach you curiosities about the firmament and astronavigation.
Let us take you on a journey into the past with our virtual reality experience.
Our ship will travel back to the 16th century to discover how sailors used the stars to calculate their position and guide their ships.
Available from June!

Shortly, the person in charge of the chosen activity will contact you and will indicate the method of payment (usually by bank transfer or bizum).
Our experiences are designed for anyone with an interest and no sailing or astronomy experience is required.
Our instructors and skippers love to share their knowledge with all those who visit us.
Before the activity you will receive a voucher with all the details of your reservation and with the main tips both for sailing and for making observations.
It will depend a lot on the time of the year and the area where you are going to do your activity, but keep in mind that as a general rule, in the sea even in summer it is always advisable to wear several clothes and if we are hot we will remove layers.
Always take some warm clothes for sailing!
The same thing happens when we do observations at night, that although they are months of heat, at night temperatures drop quite a lot and it is preferable to be prepared with a good jacket, a hat to cover our head and even gloves.
Of course.
It will depend on the availability in each case but it is very common to reserve a boat for a family or group exclusively.
All our boats are duly registered in List 6 and are covered by Civil Liability Insurance and SOVI (Compulsory Travelers Insurance).
Insurance to cover the typical case of not coming because my grandfather got sick is another matter.
In such cases, you have to take out personal insurance.
If you tend to get seasick, tell your skipper and he/she will give you some recommendations to avoid seasickness as much as possible, although they are not infallible since each body reacts differently to this situation.
Although it depends on each territory and especially on weather conditions and sea conditions, the standard is approximately 1 hour of navigation and 2 hours of observation on land.
Prior to departure we will send you a Voucher with all the details of your reservation: meeting point, what is included in your trip… and the telephone number of the skipper or instructor.
Depending on the geographical area you are in, it is likely that on trips away from the coast you may lose mobile coverage.
