Río de la Plata Sailing Trip + Apéritif

  • 33 reviews | 170 travellers
    This sailing trip was one of the best experiences we had in Buenos Aires! We met Nicolás, the boat's owner, who was extremely kind and attentive. He calmly explained the details of the navigation, interesting facts about the Río de la Plata, and everything about the sailboat in an educational and engaging way. More than a guide, he felt like an old friend we'd reconnected with, welcoming us warmly and sharing his passion. We returned home feeling like we'd experienced something unique and special.

Tour Details

We'll meet at the indicated time at Av. Rafael Obligado. From here, we'll head to the sailing club for a safety briefing and board the sailboat on which we'll set sail to navigate the widest estuary in the world: the Río de la Plata. Under full sail!

On board this sailing boat, that has a maximum capacity of 6 passengers, we'll sail away from the coast as the city of Buenos Aires unfolds before our eyes with its skyline. As we make our way along the route, we'll tell you about the fascinating history and importance of the river. For example, did you know it has witnessed the development of the area and continues to be key to the trade and progress of the surrounding cities?

As we sail, we'll reach a point where, if you wish, you can learn how to handle the sailboat, feeling the power of the wind. Once we drop anchor, we'll enjoy an apéritif or a barbecue. The best part? We'll be able to try a traditional mate while enjoying the view of the vast river. What a privilege!

Finally, we'll set off on our return trip and say goodbye at the initial meeting point after a total of 3 to 4 hours of cruising.
