This transformation has taken as its main artery the Bilbao estuary, one of the city&#8217;s major connections for trade and leisure with the outside world. It is here, in the estuary of Bilbao, next to the Euskalduna Palace, where we found the mooring of River Cheer, a boat rental company without skipper with which we have known Bilbao from a different perspective and totally independent.  <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/turismovasco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Grua-carola-desde-la-r%C3%ADa-de-Bilbao.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-9614\" src=\"http:\/\/turismovasco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Grua-carola-desde-la-r%C3%ADa-de-Bilbao-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"crane-tail-crane-from-the-bilbao-ria\" width=\"618\" height=\"348\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"box info  \"><div class=\"box-inner-block\"><i class=\"fa tie-shortcode-boxicon\"><\/i>\n            <\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"River_Cheer_information\"><\/span><strong>River Cheer information.<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><div class=\"checklist tie-list-shortcode\"><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Activity<\/strong>: Boat rental company without skipper and without the need to be in possession of maritime qualifications.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Year of creation<\/strong>: 2016.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Hours<\/strong>: From 10:00 a.m. to sunset.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Maximum number of people<\/strong>: 4 adults and 1 minor.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Minimum age to operate the boat<\/strong>: 25 years old.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Price of the experience<\/strong>: from 35\u20ac.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Range of action<\/strong>: R\u00eda de Bilbao.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Recommendation<\/strong>: It is preferable to rent the boat when the tide is rising, trying to ensure that the estuary has as much water as possible.
