Visit the tall ship Atyla in Cadiz
Free access (donations welcome)
The famous wooden sailing ship Atyla from Spain will moor in Puerto Sherry for a few days before going to the Canary Islands.
With its two masts, black sails and the #ATYLAship sign in the wheelhouse, the ship will attract the attention of thousands of people in the city.
It says “WELCOME” on the hull but, is it possible to visit it? Is it possible to get on board and feel it’s wood? We have good news for you: YES!
* This picture is from before the pandemic. This time we’ll ask you to keep a safe distance both in the queue and on board.
Visit Atyla in Cadiz:
When: Saturday the 11th of September, 11:00 to 13:00
Where: Puerto Sherry (Puerto de Santa MarĆa)
The visit is for free, but we always appreciate a donation to our Scholarship Fund. You can do that on the treasure chest that we have on board, or through this page.
You don’t need to reserve or get a ticket for the visit. Just show up on Saturday and get in the queue if there is one.
How is the visit? Our crew will welcome you on board and play a video that shows the ship in action. Then you’ll be able to walk around the deck and read the several information banners around the ship.
You can also take pictures, and pose in front of the helm, or wherever you want. If you put them on social media, please mention us: @atyla_ship
Access to the ship’s interiors is normally not allowed, but you can look through the many windows to see how it looks inside or see this page.

What is Atyla ship?
A unique ship from Spain that sails around the world
Atyla is a classic sailing vessel built between Soria and Vizcaya in the 80s. It was built following the designs of the ships in the XVIII century. Its history is incredible, check it out here.
Today, Atyla is the only Spanish wooden ship that regularly participates in the international regattas of tall ships and sail training ships. In those regattas, Atyla often receives the price to the most international crew.
