Island-Hopping Paradise Bareboat – Cíes, Ons, Sálvora & Arousa, 7 Days
Launch from Baiona’s yacht club and trace a nature-forward circuit through the Atlantic Islands National Park and quiet Galician harbors. With Cíes, Ons, and the seldom-visited Sálvora on the plan—plus Illa de Arousa and Aldán—you’ll alternate between pristine trails, calm anchorages, and low-key shore time. Standard timing applies: Saturday 17:00 embarkation, Friday 19:00 check-out, optional overnight until Saturday 08:00.
