Voyage Booking

Starting from our homeport in Douarnenez, we will set sail towards Pasaia: A maritime festival awaits Grayhound in northern Spain!

This sailing trip across the infamous bay of biscay will take about a week, and will be filled with unexpected experiences and encounters:

At the continental shelf, we might meet dolphins that like to play at the bow of the ship and seem fluorescent at night ; we might enjoy calm and beautiful sunsets on deck together, or get to witness the power of the wind & waves while the ship carries us safely through the seas… and we will for sure feel the strong community that adventure like this can build.

And also the sailing will not come short on this voyage! Before you know it, you become a part of the crew, join a watch, steer the boat, help set sails, douse them,… On a lugger like Grayhound there is lots and lots to learn. Be it about how to belay a pin or do some coastal navigation - the professional crew is happy to teach you on this adventurous voyage of traditional sailing!

Not sure if this is for you? Have a look at our FAQ and what to expect onboard to help you decide!

Our recommendation:

For adventure seekers who can organise just under a month away from home, we recommend booking this trip together with the stay in Pasaia and the sailing trip back to Brittany (planned arrival in Douarnenez May 25)… This way, you really learn the most you can about traditional sailing, enjoy the beauty of the basque country and get as much as possible out of your adventure of a lifetime!

🗣️ Since we are mainly sailing in French waters, the main language onboard is French. But don’t be worried: Most of the professional crew onboard also speaks English.
