Excellent afternoon trip with Unai. Beautiful boat, great facilities, stunning trip in and around the bay. The kids loved being able to help with the sailing too. Finished with a swim in the bay after. Simply fabulous and worth every penny!

private boat tour San Sebastián

Maureen_M, Aug 2025

The boat ride itself was beautiful, but we didn't really hear about the history of San Sebastián, aside from one or two comments, and no complimentary drinks or snacks were provided so at the price point, I'm not really sure if it was worth it. The boat captain was really nice, and again, beautiful experience, but not worth the cost without learning more about where we were. I've done boat trips before where we were we were taken to different places to swim, also given a speaker to play music, and that wasn't proposed, or seemingly an option.

Response from Host, Aug 2025

Good afternoon Maureen, We appreciate your feedback. It is always our intention that customers are satisfied with our experiences. We are sorry that this was not the case for you. The snacks and drinks are not included in the price and it is specified in the experience. Regarding the loudspeaker, we have consulted with the skipper and he commented that it was not requested. Sorry for the misunderstanding. We will take into account your opinion to continue improving our service. Have a nice day. Best regards. Yolanda.

Lovely boat ride! Highly...

Response from Host, Jun 2024

Mila esker. Thanks

Best way to take in the bay!

Stephen_C, Mar 2024

This a lovely and relaxing tour. We brought wine with us, which was a little difficult to maneuver as we decided to sit up front, but i consider that more of our lack of think than anything the company could solve. It was gorgeous and relaxing. We were on the fence about whether it was worth it, but now we both think it is one of the highlights of our 10-day honeymoon to Spain and Portugal.

Response from Host, Jun 2024

I wish you all the best!! Mila esker.

Amazing boat ride + team!

Becca_T, Oct 2023

Could not recommend this excursion enough! They reached out to us the day before our scheduled boat ride and offered up a reschedule based on expected weather proactively. They were super communicative and the boat ride itself was fabulous. 10/10

Mila esker. I hope to see you again. Unai

Unai was a great skipper! Highly recommend
