Relive how those sailors used to sail, the great feats they did on that ship and experience first hand the greatest maritime feat. Be part of the crew, using the same sailing techniques, with training on navigation, charts, sail use, knots, etc. And above all, feel the sensation of sailing a wooden boat, governed by a pintle.

Departing from the port of Motril and arriving at the port of Santa Pola, this short crossing consists of approximately 1 day and a half of navigation corresponding to 200 nautical miles. It will allow you to make an unforgettable voyage along the tropical coast up to the coastal city of the province of Alicante: Santa Pola. Santa Pola has a lot of touristic interests that you will be able to visit. Among them are: its fantastic beaches where you can enjoy an authentic Valencian paella, as well as the castle-fortress of Santa Pola. Also visit the museum of the sea or its municipal aquarium with a great variety of marine life. In addition, only 11 nautical miles away is the island of Tabarca, the great unknown of Spain. Its crystal clear waters and this small island will leave you speechless. An unforgettable experience aboard the Nao Victoria.

What it does not include

Transportation to and from the boat is at the expense of each person.

Sailing on the sailing boats of the Nao Victoria Foundation is a magnificent human, technical and natural experience. You will take part in the sailing watches and experience the camaraderie of people of different ages, cultures and backgrounds, all as fond of the sea and boats as you are. You will learn navigation techniques, manoeuvring, knots and rigging, as well as getting to recognise the main stars and constellations. And all this in a natural environment as different, indomitable and incredibly beautiful as the sea.

A mini adventure full of humanity. My dream since I was a child, to see the sails swell in the wind, with the bow cutting waves up and down. Swallowing the sky, swallowing the sea. I am one of those who never stop, I do not miss even the smallest detail and Nao Victoria and you have filled me. All my nights different, always ecstatic. Captain, crew a 10, volunteers, I have no scale to name your dedication, your courtesy, your bizarreness. Historically well prepared, I now admire even more those heroes who preceded us.

The person who decides to make a voyage aboard the nao Victoria will find: a wooden ship that tries to recreate the feeling of being in one of those primitive ships that achieved such great feats, with a crew of people enthusiastic about sailing, the history of Spain very close, attentive and friendly, which will allow us to participate in all maneuvers and activities.
