Sailboat rental in Hendaye

A taster day or a week at anchor: in Hendaye, sailboats rent both ways.

Bareboat sailing in Hendaye

A sailing résumé is the real ticket: operators want recent miles and experience of the size. The grounds: the Txingudi bay at the mouth of the Bidassoa, the liquid border between France and Spain.

The local wind, decoded

Atlantic swell damped by the bay — the most sheltered on the Basque coast — with westerly breezes. Trim the sail plan accordingly. Boarding points: the Hendaye marina, facing Hondarribia.
