1. Who we are:
The AENavigatio was born from the impulse of a group of professionals and businessmen united by our passion for the sea and traditional navigation. Hence, the main common thread of many of our actions is the TRAINERA, the native boat par excellence of the Cantabrian Coast.
In this framework of action, the preservation and sustainability of the marine wealth of our environment plays a fundamental role for our association, in particular of the Bay of Santander as it is our main framework of action.
"Contribute to promoting and enhancing the local heritage of Cantabria from a historical, cultural and natural point of view, with special emphasis on the maritime side"
