A unique & authentic experience, why?
The ship is absolutely incredible
Made entirely of wood by a group of adventurers. Built to circumnavigate the world. Inspired by 18th century ships. Atyla is the last historic ship to be launched in the Basque Country (Spain). An impressive ship with an incredible history.
You really sail the ship yourself
When we say that you embark as crew, it is really like that. From the first day you will take the helm, hoist the sails with the other participants, follow the ship’s route on the nautical chart… Regardless of your previous experience.
A selected crew to guide you
At Atyla we select a crew of adventurers who inspire confidence, friendliness and empathy. In addition, the people who participate in our trips are adventurous, curious and have interesting lives. You come for the ship, but you will love it because of the people. 
Learnings that stay with you for life
Our program uses 4 tools from the field of personal development, combined with the unique context of a sailing a traditional ship as part of the crew. This creates moments of learning and deep reflection that would be impossible otherwise, and helps generate new insights and perspectives.
In touch with nature
We’re on deck to steer the ship, even if it rains. We pay attention to the wind to adjust the sails. The sea splashes the deck when there are waves. Dolphins swim with us. In good weather, we can jump into the water for a swim. And at night we can see the stars without any light pollution. 
The challenge is real
The experience also has difficult parts, and we don’t hide them: The sleeping is in group cabins, if the sea is rough you can get seasick for a while, comfort is limited, you have to help with the cleaning… All these, we take as challenges that help to make the experience more authentic and deeper.

More than 2000 people embarked. More than 170 adventure trips done.
Since 2013 in continuous improvement leads to reviews like these:
I got to meet so many lovely people, the crew kindly answered all of my questions, and you can probably imagine I had a LOT of those.
Basically, every experience I was hoping I would have the chance to live, I did. I got to sail during the day and at night, man the helm, learn about the rigging, go up the mast, learn knots, see dolphins, handle the sails, learn about navigation, safety in the sea, meet a bunch of super cool people, help keeping the ship clean and in optimal conditions, it was very intense and very cool. Granted, I got some bruises and got a little seasick too at first, but that's part of the whole experience I think, haha.
Amazing experience, I'll certainly be joining the crew again soon. Recomended 100%.
Atyla adventure story to tell others!! LOVE LOVE LOVE for this ship and humans!
The crew members are great people, super friendly and helpful. They teach you how to manage everyday on the boat and are full of advice for life at sea. On Atyla, you are likely to have a once in a lifetime experience, that is challenging but also rewarding.
You don't need prior experience to fit in, it can be your first time at sea. You will learn how to steer the boat, climb the masts, pull the ropes, make knots, fishing, deck scrubbing, and much more.
