We provide sailing tours of Galicia's Rias baixas in our 42ft yacht.

That's not something you see every day! Taken yesterday morning from our home marina in Combarro, Galicia. The dolphins are a regular feature at the moment.

This is the O Burato do Inferno cave on the island of Ons. You can hear the Atlantic pounding at the other end of the cave more than 130ft below!
Ons is a favourite place to anchor on our Rias Baixas summer sailing tours.

We've just completed our final Rias Baixas tour of 2024. Skipper Tom and our Costa Rican guests visited the Cies Islands, Baiona, Cangas, Vigo, Portonovo and of course Combarro. The photo shows Nacho looking pretty relaxed having just sailed under the massive Puente de Rande suspension bridge.
Sailing under the bridge you feel like the mast is bound to hit it! However, at 48m above sea level it's actually (and unbelievably) nearly 3 times higher than the mast.
They also really enjoyed visiting Vigo, which is a vibrant coastal city with the marina very close to the centre.

This is the Cafe Bar O parque restaurant near Baiona, Galicia. It serves only octopus (pulpo) on Sundays! It is very tasty and very popular, as you can see. Skipper Tom is hiding in there somewhere.

Octopus has been consumed in Galicia since ancient times. They grow rapidly and have a relatively short life span, and in recent times populations have increased. They are still caught using traditional small-scale traps and are a regular feature on the menus in Galicia.

We are delighted to say that we have confirmed our home-mooring place in Combarro's marina. That's 'Marta' on the outside pontoon (with the giant red arrow above us!). Combarro is a historic fishing village featuring classic Galician architecture. It's grown into a small town around the original village so there's lots to see and do. The wooded hills around the town are full of interesting paths and, most important of all, it's a great place from which to explore the Rias Baixas coast by sail!

Welcome to the new Spain Sailing page! This is a continuation of KMT Sailing but with a different name and a new yacht. This photograph shows Tom, Ed and Lydia having arrived in Galicia, Spain last week after 8 days and over a 1000 miles of sailing from the Azores. Our new yacht is 'Marta' and skipper Tom will be taking tours of Rias Baixas in Galicia throught the summer of 2025. So watch this space for news!
