9-2024: 11 – 18 Sept: Portosin – Portosin: A relaxed holiday cruise!
10-2023: 21 – 25 Sept: Portosin – Portosin: A relaxed holiday cruise!
11-2023: 29 Sept – 6 Oct: Portosin – Portosin or La Coruna: A relaxed holiday cruise!
This is one of these “let’s just enjoy life and go cruising” legs with the option to learn.
It’s all up to you: At times, no teaching, no upwind sailing, now big distances to make, just plain holiday cruising. At other times, you will practice what you have learnt on your Yachtmaster Offshore theory course!
I have sailed many times in this area and never stop finding new great places to eat out or to anchor. One can spend months in the Rías and I have done so every year during the last couple of years.
It is a relaxing leg where we also can visit the islands consisting of the natural reserve of Galicia. Regina Laska has a permit to enter and anchor and visit the islands since safety and competence of the skipper fulfils the necessary requirements.
It will be the perfect mix for a relaxed holiday with enough thrill to call it a special memory!

Ria de Arousa is the biggest Ria which per se is a fantastic cruising ground. Here: Praia Cornas close to Palmeira, with loads of mussel farms in the background.
Regina Laska sailing through a narrow passage which mainly only the local fishermen take. If you know your way, it’s a great short-cut into one of the Rias through the stones.
Las Islas Cíes
Rias Baixas are so beatiful!
