No, you can start from any stage..

From 6 to 30 june 2024.

Anyone of any age and condition who has the illusion of doing the Camino de Santiago in a different way.

If you have your own boat or a family member or friend who registers for the crossing and allows you to go as a crew member.

If you do not have your own sailboat, there are also several ways that the organisers can help you.

• SI would like to join a boat participating in the crossing that needs crew members, thereby sharing the costs and work involved in completing the pilgrimage: in this case, you should contact the organisers via the website. You will be included in the list of crew members sent to the boat owners wishing to hire crew members from those included on the list and in order of registration. A new list will be drawn up each year.

• I have friends that own a boat or I am in contact with a sailing club: in this case the objective is to transmit the adventurous spirit of pilgrims interested in completing the Way by sea and encourage them to sign up for the crossing.

You can also contact charter companies such as:

• Marmitako Sailing

You can also use shared navigation platforms such as:

• Sailwiz

Registration varies depending on the place of departure of the participating boat and the number of crew members on board.

These are the fees for the IX The Camino on the sea 2024.

Make sure you have made the payment by bank transfer according to the current rates:

• Deposit account number (Abanca): ES65 2080 1092 3230 4000 4989 BIC code: CAGLESMMXXX
• Beneficiary: North Marinas
• Concept: Place of departure / Name of ship / Number of crew members

Next, fill in the following form with the data of boat, skipper and crew. In the event that the number of final crew members is not clear on the day of registration, the registration procedure will also be carried out to reserve the boat with the number we know at the time, after which the remaining payment for the total number of crew members on board will be formalised prior to the start of the voyage. Do not hesitate to contact us for any questions. You can also call us at the following telephone numbers +34 881 920 482 or +34 670 405 446

Once received the data of the form and checked the transfer, the boat will be registered and confirmed via email.

After the last day of mooring included in the registration fee, upon arrival at the port of destination, each participant decides what to do with his or her boat. The organization does not cover the costs of the return trip.

In previous experiences we have been able to see that a large number of participants take advantage of the opportunity to leave their boats in the Galician estuaries and enjoy sailing on the water for a while, others return slowly enjoying the towns and ports they have known during the voyage and finally those who have to return to their working lives make the return immediately; the latter are put in contact with each other so that the return or part of it is accompanied by them.

If you do not have your own boat, there are also several ways that the organisers can help you.

• If would like to join a boat participating in the crossing that needs crew members, thereby sharing the costs and work involved in completing the pilgrimage: in this case, you should contact the organisers via the website. You will be included in the list of crew members sent to the boat owners wishing to hire crew members from those included on the list and in order of registration. A new list will be drawn up each year.

• I have friends that own a boat or I am in contact with a sailing club: in this case the objective is to transmit the adventurous spirit of pilgrims interested in completing the Way by sea and encourage them to sign up for the crossing.

• At this point we have to differentiate two crew members:

  • The one who offers his services as a sailor / skipper / crew member / companion and who is willing to share the costs of the voyage with the shipowner.
  • The one who is looking for a charter boat where he can make the crossing without the cost of renting it being too high for him.

  In either case, contact the organization for guidance or help in making their wishes come true.

  You can also use shared navigation platforms such as:

  • Sailwiz

Yes, in fact the intention of The Camino on the Sea is to open a permanent waterway to be able to do the Camino de Santiago at any time.

You can pick up your badge (one per crew member) at any of the marinas in the North Marinas network and stamp it during the journey. Remember that you must complete at least 100 nautical miles and a last stage on foot to receive your Compostela when you arrive in Santiago.

Each year a new bag of sailing enthusiasts is created who are willing to share the costs of the voyage and enjoy the experience.

In case you need a crew or simply want to enjoy company, let the organization know and we will put you in contact with those registered in our crew bag. You can also use shared navigation platforms such as:

• Sailwiz

To obtain the Compostela, an official diploma issued by the Cathedral of Santiago that certifies the completion of the pilgrimage, it is necessary to complete at least 100 nautical miles and a last stage on foot..

In the same way that on the Road by land, it will be obligatory to present a credential with the official stamp of departure from a port of the North Marinas network, the rest of the stamps brothers-in-law during the road and the stamp of Monte do Gozo from where one must go down to the cathedral on foot to fulfill the complete pilgrimage.
