Sail the Bay of Biscay: La Rochelle to Portugalete Aboard the Shtandart

Set sail this September on an unforgettable voyage from the historic French port of La Rochelle to the vibrant Basque town of Portugalete, near Bilbao. Aboard the Shtandart, a faithful replica of an 18th-century frigate, you’ll experience the raw beauty of the Bay of Biscay while stepping back in time to the golden age of sailing.

Become Crew on a Living Piece of History

This is not a luxury cruise — it’s a working tall ship adventure. You’ll be part of the crew and learn traditional seamanship:

• Set and trim sails, take part in watch rotations
• Climb the rigging to furl the sails and feel the wind from the top
• Navigate using compass, coastal features, and stars
• Take the helm and guide the 34-meter frigate along the Atlantic coast

Beginners are welcome! The professional crew will train and support you every step of the way.

A Journey Between Cultures and Coasts

From La Rochelle’s fortified harbor to the rocky shores of northern Spain, this route is steeped in maritime history — once sailed by merchants, explorers, and adventurers. Expect Atlantic swells, changing winds, and spectacular sunsets over open water.

Join the Shtandart this September and sail not just across the Bay of Biscay — but into a world of tradition, teamwork, and unforgettable adventure.
