About Us
Sailway was founded in 2005 in order to organize nautical activities on the “Ría de Vigo” (Rías Baixas in Galicia). Its founders are ardent sea worshippers and began this project with the prime objective of making the sea accessible to anyone who desires to experience the delights of sailing. We provide an enganging learning eviroment where you learn how to enjoy the sea in safety whilst respecting the local ecosystem. Our base port is located in Vigo City Centre, which offers a wide range of amenities within easy reach. The “Rías Baixas” is a privileged stretch of calm waters owing to the protection provided by the majestic Cíes Islands (Maritime-Terrestrial National Park of the Atlantic Islands of Galicia). This natural barrier means these waters are among the only locations in Europe where it is posible to sail safely all year round.
