Choose bareboat if you hold a valid recreational licence, or add our skipper so everyone can enjoy the sails without studying charts. The price is for the yacht for the day, within each boat's guest limit. 📌 Key Details Duration: One day hire (typical daylight hours, return before dusk unless agreed) Boats: Gure Aitxe (our easy-handling family yacht) or Beti Aitxe (larger and agile for bigger groups) Format: Bareboat with your licence, or with skipper (no licence needed on skippered tiers) Departure: Donostia-San Sebastián or Hondarribia (we confirm the marina when we accept your date) Minimum age: 18 to sign hire terms; younger guests welcome with adult supervision where your licence or our skipper allows 🌊 What to Expect You choose bareboat or skippered hire on Gure Aitxe or Beti Aitxe. Bareboat guests hold a valid recreational licence, bring photo ID, and complete paperwork plus a full handover on engine, sails, VHF, and safety kit before casting off. Skippered tiers add a captain who handles navigation while you relax on deck. The day runs in daylight from marina briefing to an agreed return time. Routes follow wind, tides, and your departure port, from La Concha to coastal Gipuzkoa legs or Bidasoa views from Hondarribia when conditions allow. Swim stops and lunch on deck are possible when rules and sea state permit; you finish at the same pontoon with wash-down. 📍 Location Charter handover is at Donostia-San Sebastián marina unless we confirm Hondarribia marina for your date. Both ports open day sails on the Basque coast with different views of La Concha or the Bidasoa. From Donostia you can loop inside La Concha, pass Santa Clara island, or stretch west along Gipuzkoa when the forecast allows. Hondarribia departures add estuary scenery and wider bay views toward France on clear days. ✅ Prerequisites Bareboat: valid recreational licence, photo ID, and attendance at the full handover. You must be comfortable taking responsibility for the yacht and guests within the agreed sailing limits. Skippered: no licence required; you remain responsible for sensible behaviour on board. Hire may be shortened or postponed in unsafe weather, and bareboat deposits are explained at check-in. ⭐ Why Choose Us Gure Aitxe is built for easy handling and comfortable days afloat; Beti Aitxe adds space and agility for bigger crews. Both are serviced to the same standard as… ### Essential information _None._ ### What’s included Gure Aitxe or Beti Aitxe for your booked day (matched to the tier you select) Safety briefing, fitted lifejackets, and standard coastal safety equipment on board Bareboat tiers: yacht handover with our team on systems, limits, and local rules Skippered tiers: qualified captain responsible for navigation for the day ### What’s not included Transport to and from the meeting point Meals, drinks, and provisions for your day on board Fuel, harbour fees, and any optional extras unless stated in your acceptance message Personal travel insurance Skipper fee of €150 paid on board by card or cash when you book a with-skipper day-hire tier (not included in your Adventuro payment and not subject to commission). ### Kit list Photo ID; bareboat guests also bring licence and any authority paperwork requested at acceptance Non-slip shoes, warm layers, sun protection, and a windproof jacket Food, drinks, and a cool bag if you plan lunch on deck Soft bag rather than a hard suitcase for stowing in cabins ## FAQs ### What is the difference between bareboat and with skipper? Bareboat means you hire the yacht and act as skipper within the sailing area we agree at handover. You need a valid recreational licence, ID, and time for paperwork, deposit, and a full systems brief before lines go ashore. With skipper adds a qualified captain who is responsible for navigation, harbour traffic, and the daily route. That suits guests without a licence, mixed-experience groups, or anyone who wants to relax while someone else reads the chart and watches the forecast. ### Where is the meeting point? Most trips meet at Donostia-San Sebastián marina below La Concha. We confirm the pier and check-in time when we accept your date, usually about fifteen minutes before departure. Some sailings leave from Hondarribia marina on the Bidasoa. If your tier lists both ports, message on Adventuro chat to confirm which marina applies. ### How does scheduled request booking work? You pick a date and party size on Adventuro. We check crew, tides, and existing sailings before accepting. Payment runs through Adventuro once the request is approved. If we cannot match your date, we suggest alternatives by chat or email. The total shown on Adventuro is confirmed when we accept your request. ### What safety kit is provided? Lifejackets are issued at the pontoon and must be worn as directed. The skipper or instructor covers man-overboard steps, moving on deck, and how to use grab lines before leaving the berth. The yacht carries standard coastal safety equipment for the activity. Tell us about mobility needs when you book so we can advise on boarding. ### What should I bring? Wear non-slip shoes, warm layers, and a windproof jacket. Sun cream and sunglasses with a retainer are useful even on cloudy days. Bring a refillable water bottle. Pack a light waterproof if you have one. Hard-soled heels and open flip-flops are not suitable on deck. ### What if the weather is poor? Sailing needs suitable wind and sea state. If we cancel for safety, we offer another date or follow the Flexible cancellation terms inherited from the centre preset. Light wind days may mean a shorter route or more motor assistance. The skipper decides on the day; we do not push beyond safe limits for the vessel and group. ### Are children allowed? You must be 18 or over to sign charter hire paperwork. Younger guests may sail with adult supervision when your booking tier allows. Tell us ages and headcount when you request the date so we match the right yacht and crew setup. ### Is transport included? Transport to the marina is not included. Donostia has bus links and taxis to the port; parking near the waterfront can be limited in peak season. Hondarribia marina is served by local buses from Irun and Hendaye area. Allow extra time for luggage if you are joining a multi-day cruise. ### Which languages do crew speak? Briefings are given in Spanish and English in most sessions. If you need another language, ask when you request the date and we will confirm if an instructor is available. Licence courses may use Spanish syllabus terms for exams even when teaching in English. We outline what materials you need before the first practical day. ### Can I get seasick? La Concha and nearshore legs are often calmer than offshore passages. If you are sensitive, eat lightly, stay hydrated, and look at the horizon. Tell the crew early if you feel unwell. They can adjust seating and route within safe limits. Medication is a personal choice; we cannot provide it on board. ## Media - **Primary image URL (resolved in app; may be absolute)**: https://adventuro.com/cdn-cgi/image/width=1200,format=auto,quality=90/https://wp.adventuro.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/BERRIZ-AITXE-NAVEGANDO-5.jpg - **Gallery image count**: 5 ## Limitations - Availability, exact session times, and final price may depend on the live booking flow. - This Markdown is generated from the same catalog fields as the public HTML page at the canonical URL above.
