Itinerary
From the 'Ciudad San Sebastián' catamaran, you will discover Donostia from a unique perspective: the sea. You will enjoy breathtaking views of La Concha, Ondarreta, and Zurriola beaches, Santa Clara Island, and Eduardo Chillida's iconic 'Peine del Viento' (Comb of the Wind) sculptures. Admire the Paseo Nuevo, the modern Kursaal building, and the mouth of the Urumea River, all while taking in a magical panorama of the city and its surrounding mountains. With a bit of luck, you might even spot dolphins or whales during the journey!
You will discover the Comb of the Wind from a completely different perspective: from the other side, directly from the sea.
The Kursaal Congress Centre, designed by Pritzker Prize winner Rafael Moneo on Zurriola Beach, stands as the gateway to a magical backdrop: the Urumea River mouth, nestled at the foot of Mount Urgull with the majestic Mount Adarra rising in the distance.

Helpful staff, on time departure, comfortable boat. We didn’t download the audio but enjoyed the peace and quiet of the trip and the different locations the boat went to. Beautiful views of the bay. Would recommend!
Thank you for your recommendation, Lara! We are delighted that you enjoyed the peace and quiet of our eco-catamaran. While our audio guide is a great feature, sometimes simply unplugging and taking in the beautiful views of the bay in silence is the absolute best way to experience the trip. We're also thrilled our staff made such a positive impression. Hope to welcome you back!
You have to go down stairs to access the boat; I mention this in case there are people with physical problems who cannot do this. The guys on the boat helped my mother right away; they were very attentive.
Kaixo Juani, Muchas gracias por compartir tu experiencia y por la valoración tan positiva. Nos alegra mucho saber que disfrutasteis de la excursión por la Bahía de La Concha. Agradecemos especialmente tus amables palabras hacia nuestra tripulación. Transmitiremos tu mensaje al equipo de a bordo; nos enorgullece saber que pudieron asistir a tu madre con gran disposición y que os sentisteis bien atendidas en todo momento. También valoramos que menciones el detalle de las escaleras de acceso al catamarán, ya que es una información muy útil y transparente para que futuros pasajeros lo tengan en cuenta al planificar su visita. Ha sido un verdadero placer teneros a bordo con nosotros. ¡Esperamos volver a veros muy pronto! Eskerrik asko eta agur bero bat!
The bay of San Sebastian is beautiful, the crew was very attentive, absolute punctuality, in a word, interesting.
¡Hola Manuel! Muchísimas gracias por destacar la puntualidad y el trato de nuestra tripulación; trabajamos muy duro para que la logística sea perfecta y podáis relajaros desde el minuto uno. Nos encanta que califiques la experiencia de 'interesante'. Gran parte de esa magia se debe a nuestra reciente hibridación: al navegar sin emisiones y sin el ruido de los motores tradicionales, la conexión con la bahía es mucho más profunda. Si te ha gustado la ruta de día, te retamos a probar nuestros 'Sunset Tours' al atardecer en tu próxima visita. ¡Un saludo de todo el equipo!
Everything was wonderful; the crew was very friendly, and the walk was pleasant.
¡Hola Elena! Qué gran noticia saber que has disfrutado tanto de la experiencia y del trato de nuestra tripulación. Trabajar navegando por la Bahía de La Concha es un privilegio que nos encanta compartir. Ya que has disfrutado de nuestra ruta diurna, te animamos a que en tu próxima visita descubras nuestros nuevos 'Sunset Tours' al atardecer. ¡Un saludo de parte de todo el equipo del Ciudad San Sebastián!
We booked with Viator and could have gotten our tickets for 18 euro less at the port! There were 4 of us.
Hi Cathy. We are sorry to see a 1-star rating regarding third-party pricing. Please note that platforms like Viator apply their own booking fees and commissions for the convenience of securing tickets in advance. Our official tickets, purchased directly at our port ticket office or through our official website, always reflect our standard, lowest price. We hope that despite this external agency fee, you were able to enjoy the comfort, silence, and zero-emission navigation of our hybrid catamaran. Best regards.
We were unlucky because the weather was really gray when we took this boat ride and so we don't necessarily keep a memorable memory. I still put it right because the company is not responsible for bad weather. We thought it was very good to have a bar and toilet on board. We were also happy that they accepted dogs. Finally, we were able to appreciate the comments. I have seen that one person previously indicated that there were no comments; that is not true: you have to scan a QR Code with your smartphone and you can follow the route of the boat and listen to the comments on what you see. However, it is better to have headphones. This is very well done and everyone can choose whether or not to listen to the comments.
Merci beaucoup pour votre visite et pour avoir pris le temps de clarifier le fonctionnement de notre audioguide QR ! Nous sommes ravis que vous ayez apprécié le confort de notre catamaran (bar, toilettes et notre politique pet-friendly). Quel dommage que la météo n'ait pas été au rendez-vous, mais nous espérons vous revoir sous le soleil de Saint-Sébastien pour une expérience mémorable. À bientôt à bord !
All perfect, the ticket-selling lady a woman's charm. We arrived two hours early and were ahead of schedule as requested Un 7.
We really enjoyed the boat trip, it gave us a different perspective of the bay, the staff were welcoming and friendly and the children enjoyed the fish spotting. It had a very reasonably priced bar and toilet facilities, I would highly recommended this trip.
You are very welcome! Thank you for choosing us to enjoy your boat tour in San Sebastian. We are glad to have had you on board!
Very nice view of San Sebastián - Tour operator - not Viator - rang us in advance to change times etc as weather was going to be bad for time of booking. - This was very helpful. I didn’t like the fee charged by viator as it was a little extortionate- well above cost of activity.
Very sorry for that,... I hope at least you enjoyed the catamaran ride! 🙏🏻
Very good experience, nice walk that allows you to see from the sea the whole city, worth it, loved it ⛱️
Gracias por su reseña Adriana ¡Bienvenida a bordo!
