from which to discover the capital of Bizkaia. A trip that allows us to know the past and present of the city in a comfortable and didactic way. The estuary has been the axis of the city of Bilbao for as long as we can remember, a river route that has been crucial for the development of the city and its industry. Today, industry has taken a back seat, giving way to tourism and leisure. It is here where the tourist boats come into play, boats that show the history, culture and architecture of the great Bilbao from the waters that cross it. Currently, the fleet consists of 2 boats, Ibai Eder and Ibai Alai, a monohull and a catamaran respectively, 2 boats that cover the regular routes of the <a href=\"https:\/\/turismovasco.com\/en\/bizkaia\/what-to-see-in-bizkaia\/ria-de-bilbao-what-to-see-and-do\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Bilbao estuary<\/a>.     <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-27128\" src=\"https:\/\/turismovasco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/rutas-regulares-en-barco-en-bilbao-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"regular boat tours in bilbao\" width=\"618\" height=\"464\" srcset=\"https:\/\/turismovasco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/rutas-regulares-en-barco-en-bilbao.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/turismovasco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/rutas-regulares-en-barco-en-bilbao-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/turismovasco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/rutas-regulares-en-barco-en-bilbao-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 618px) 100vw, 618px\" \/><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=\"Information_about_boat_routes_in_the_Bilbao_estuary\"><\/span><strong>Information about boat routes in the Bilbao estuary.<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<div class=\"checklist tie-list-shortcode\"><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Reservations<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/turismovasco.com\/reservas\/index.html?id_epigrafe=926&amp;id_panel=371&amp;id_elemento=926&amp;tipo_elemento=&amp;id_destino=4839&amp;id_operador=4839&amp;id_punto_venta=5682&amp;id_idioma=0&amp;cierre_app=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Online reservations.<\/a><\/li>\n<li><strong>Boats: <\/strong>Ibai Alai (monohull) \/ Ibai Eder (catamaran).<\/li>\n<li><strong>Routes: <\/strong>Pio Baroja Pier &#8211; Zorrozaurre (1 hour) \/ Pio Baroja Pier &#8211; Bizkaia Bridge (2 hours).<\/li>\n<li><strong>Attractions<\/strong>: Boat tours along the Bilbao estuary with audio guide.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Location: <\/strong>Muelle Pio Baroja, Bilbao, Bizkaia, Euskadi.<strong><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><\/div>\n<div class=\"google-map \"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"\" height=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" marginheight=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/embed?pb=!1m18!1m12!1m3!1d2141.6173749775526!2d-2.925765521488573!3d43.264508689624705!2m3!1f0!2f0!3f0!3m2!1i1024!2i768!4f13.1!3m3!1m2!1s0x0%3A0x6a18e36ebac8fbec!2sBilboats!5e1!3m2!1ses!2ses!4v1474387593748&amp;output=embed\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>\n            <\/div><\/div><\/p>\n<p>Although it was not the first time we sailed the <a href=\"https:\/\/turismovasco.com\/en\/bizkaia\/what-to-see-in-bizkaia\/ria-de-bilbao-what-to-see-and-do\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Bilbao estuary<\/a>, the views surprised us again. There is always some corner to discover. We recommend that you look at each and every one of the spaces in front of which you sail. And although it is normal that spaces of great importance such as the San Mam\u00e9s stadium or the Guggenheim Museum attract your attention, we believe it is important to contemplate other types of spaces to get a more real idea of what Bilbao was, is and will be. A great example of this are the industrial spaces that you will find along the route.    <a href=\"https:\/\/turismovasco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/gruas-naval-ria-de-Bilbao-anochecer.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-20867\" src=\"https:\/\/turismovasco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/gruas-naval-ria-de-Bilbao-anochecer-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"naval cranes, ria de Bilbao, nightfall\" width=\"618\" height=\"464\" srcset=\"https:\/\/turismovasco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/gruas-naval-ria-de-Bilbao-anochecer-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/turismovasco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/gruas-naval-ria-de-Bilbao-anochecer-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/turismovasco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/gruas-naval-ria-de-Bilbao-anochecer-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/turismovasco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/gruas-naval-ria-de-Bilbao-anochecer.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 618px) 100vw, 618px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"box shadow  \"><div class=\"box-inner-block\"><i class=\"fa tie-shortcode-boxicon\"><\/i>\n            <\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Boat_tours_in_the_Bilbao_estuary_information_and_tips\"><\/span><strong>Boat tours in the Bilbao estuary, information and tips.<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>\n            <\/div><\/div>\n<p>Today it is common to find boats of all kinds making the same route that made the legendary Athletic Gabarra: kayaks, paddle surfing, water bikes and a long list of boats among which we find the boats that we present today.

Our experience aboard the star boat of this company from Bilbao was a success. A different experience that we will certainly repeat in the future, an experience that we want to tell you all about.

This 15 meters long boat has a large deck on the upper part and an enclosed space on the lower part, a deck that is mandatory due to the climate of a city like Bilbao. This boat is prepared to carry up to 80 passengers, 50 of them on the lower deck and the rest on the upper deck. In the summer season we recommend the upper deck to capture some of the best snapshots of the city while enjoying the sun.   <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Ibai Eder<\/strong>: Although this boat is smaller in appearance than the Ibai Alai, we must point out that it is approved to transport the same number of people, 80.
