Avientó is a private sailing operator based in Getxo, Euskadi, featured on The Adventure Collective. Avientó organizes private sailboat trips that showcase the unique coastline and urban waterways of the Basque Country. The business offers a curated set of four trips: “Fondeos, Baños de sol y mar,” “Navega en tu velero privado,” “A Bilbao en Velero por la Ría,” and “De Bilbao al Mar en Velero.” Each itinerary focuses on calm, private sailing away from crowded beaches and close encounters with local landmarks such as the cliffs of Arrigúnaga and the Bizkaia Bridge.
Trips are described as private sailing experiences that prioritize a relaxed pace on the water. Experiences include time for swimming, enjoying light snacks or meals on board, and scenic passages along the Ría that can bring guests close to Bilbao’s waterfront and, when tides allow, near the Guggenheim Museum. Avientó highlights tide-dependent navigation where appropriate and designs each outing to provide a tranquil, coastal perspective of Getxo and Bilbao.
As a featured provider on The Adventure Collective, Avientó is presented as a local option for travelers seeking private, small-group sailing from Getxo. The trip summaries emphasize privacy, coastal scenery, and the opportunity to experience sunsets and sea swims. Information about routes, tide considerations, and on-board amenities is included in trip descriptions so guests can choose the outing that best fits their interests.
